I feel like it's not out of bounds to say that this is stupid

I'm sure it has some intra-universe explanation but like. That doesn't mean it's not a dumb storyline and a stupid gimmick.

Isn't 80% of comics (especially these days as the medium has been in a very slow death spiral) gimmicks? That is why they keep recreating the entire universe. It is all a gimmick to keep readers vaguely interested.

That doesn't make it not dumb

A dumb idea doesn't mean the writers are antisemitic. It is just a dumb idea like the countless other dumb comic ideas.

I haven't read the comic and don't really plan to, nor am I well versed in what Marvel does for these things...but I feel like there way maybe a better way to go about it than this.

I doubt it. It is obviously some stupid story line that will ultimately be fixed that no one except maybe Red Skull and HERO will remember.

Dumb storylines and gimmicks are not 80% of comics. More like a solid 99%.

That's an argument that Marvel and DC should retire or 'bench' their old characters and create some new characters and universes we haven't seen yet.

Why do that when they can just keep destroying and creating new universes with the same characters over and over and over.

The track record on that is extensive and uninspiring. As in, they've done that a LOT, and it rarely works.

Oh yeah, like when they 'killed' Captain A back in the day. See, it could work, but they would have to let the characters remain gone. They couldn't just bring them back a year or two later.

They are doing it gradually, Marvel especially, but it desn't sell well when they do it all at once because it pisses off long term buyers faster than it draws in new readers. Of course the current comic book shop sales model doesn't help. They need to be back on the newstand and at other places people can casually pick them up instead of just dedicated comic stores. The rise of the trade paperback helps a bit, of course, but there are still less and less physical bookstores to pick those up in. The way individual comic issues and TPB issues are numbered does not lend itself to online purchases due to issue number confusion.

One of the main reasons I stopped buying comic books was it was a pain in the ass to get them from a comic book store. The location and hours did not work well for me. (The other main reason was they fuck ed up the Maximoff family and it pissed me off, making the effort to buy them not worth it anymore.)

God bless u, Comic Book Industry. U shot urself in the foot, u speshul snowflake u.

Seriously though, they made it intentionally difficult to get into, and the timelines and universes are so convoluted now that it's no fun.

it's like reading War and Peace where you have to keep a notebook so you can list who's who because Mr. "I can't use the same name every time. I have to use the name, the pet name, the so on and so forth because I want to confuse the fuck out of people" did so

Ain't nobody got time for that.
