Week 13
When it comes to reinventing the superhero the general standard up till recently was just, give them human problems or slowly make them an asshole/antihero. While it works I personally find it extremely dull to read and don’t particularly care about them. They don’t do anything particularly revolutionary and only some of their attitudes seem to improve alongside these revamps. Plus you also have to deal with asshole people trying to make a name for themselves like that jackass who did the captain America is secretly hydra. That emotionally killed so many people, adults and kids alike and I remember reading hundreds of different accounts of how young children started bawling when they found out their favorite superhero is a bad guy. Stuff like that does NOTHING for revamping a character. I would consider a successful revamp of a character being the current Miss marvel publication. If the big wigs in comics could stop seeing their creations as untouchable gold statues I feel like we would get a lot more like miss marvel, so long as the fanboys don’t try to rip out their spleens when something changes which is always why things turn to shit.
