Re: Attitude towards retcons?

I like them if I like the new status quo. I mislike them if I dislike the new status quo. I have no particular feelings about them one way or the other, if I don't care about the different status quo one way or the other.

How the retcon is achieved comes into it, too.

If it's not just a matter of just quietly ignoring the original story, how much I like the explanation of what REALLY happened of course affects my opinion of the retcon in general.

If it's a full on continuity reboot...If it's a new version of a property that's been moribund for a while, well, it's a new property, for all intents and purposes. If it's an attempt to save a failing property with a retool and relaunch one would hope for any loose plot threads getting tied up. If there's a Crisis Crossover type story to explain the reboot, my opinion on that comes into it, too.

tl;dr - It depends - if it's good, I like it, if it's bad I don't, just like any other story.
