I could right a novel about my feelings towards this development with the O5. But I think this should suffice:
I feel the same way to a degree
It's just so LAZY! They don't want to put the effort into making new icons, it's too hard for them to try telling stories with new, unique, young students. So instead, they recycle the same old characters who have been around from Day 1. Creativity is dead.
it's more then that it that alot of fan are mad at for what happen to the older version still and see it online in comment and alot other places where these event are talked about in article and interview with the writers where fans ask them this in Q&A.
the problem is this stuff they put the older versions through they don't realize when put them through certain things that they should know aren't gonna be forgiveable or they know are out of character but they do it any way, it get's people mad and they seem not to like the idea of loosing fanbase's after the fact cause they want to do what they want with character with out being questioned.
but they keep screwing up cause they don't care for any of the stuff that happened before them attime and don't want to hear from the fan base that this isn't what this character would do and truth be tol if you don't want them hated so badly you put in to any situion and think not despise them that part is obvious . but some writers put into and gowhat's wrong? Really?
and as to them creating new character to make name for them selves while they still can, the problem is the next writer will just ether write that character out or have them killed in favor for their own creation , it's not that there isn't any room "there is always room", it's that alot of them don't care for anything or one before them but them selves . don't want know that other character personality it like so they write them out so they don't have hear from the fan base how they screwing up that new character befor their run started personality too.
it's this mentality that the problem and not wanting to hear they are screwing up. so right there they think where this is thinking that using this younger version's with out the baggage. they can have some peace using these characters teway they want cause the older version while they did have cool history's they had baggage that made new readers people hate them as well just reading profiles .
And they rather start afresh cause tired of hearing about it.
which also mean's they better not do the same things with these one as well. don't turn them in to "a holes" with irredeemable mistakes personal life or other wise with poor chose actions , that they can't take back since that's what the new reader ship / audience finds unacceptable.
but too many new and up and coming writers have this "I'm bored mentality "and do that regardless it's a weird futile effort. when they just repeat the same things.
Well we'll have see if they can avoid that crap . but keep saying if you don't your character hated inthat way why put them in position you know people in your audience won't ever forgive the characters for doing such an action? Why?
this is also why dc their competitor has reboot syndrome
