A summation of everything I dislike about Marvel/DC, in no particular order:
- events
- reboots
- writing for the trade
- deconstruction
- tasteless deaths/rapes/incest done for shock value
- Greg Land-type artists
- sliding timelines
- resurrection of characters who should’ve remained dead (Norman Osborn/Aunt May/Barry Allen/etc.)
- bad characterization
- the illusion of change
- nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia (single Peter Parker; the return of Krypto; etc.)
- interminable title relaunches
The Big Two reached their peak in the Bronze Age/Copper Age. Everything since has been a downward spiral into stagnant, exploitative gimmickry.
