I agree. I'm a big comic fan--especially X-Men--and the reasons movies often seem to be better than comics is because movies can pick and choose what elements work best and discard the elements that didn't. For instance, if we ever see Psylocke as a major character, I'll bet my buttons there will be no Revanche, but we'll just have a Japanese-British butterfly ninja woman.

It's the same reason why some of the best storylines in comics are often stand alones that have a clear beginning and ending, why you so often get acclaimed "reboots" of franchises that can boil down the best bits of stories for repeat consumption, etc.

I think almost all of Superman's best and most famous stories actually tend to revolve around taking one aspect of his mythos to an extreme--what if he died? What if he were born somewhere else? What if he gave up on the world? Rather than telling a Superman story that fits into the every day Superman mythology.
