I couldn't agree more.

And to everybody saying, "just google it", that kind of underestimates the complexity of the whole mainstream superhero comics clusterfuckityness. If you've been reading those kinds of comics your entire life, yeah, you probably have a decent handle on what to read, what not to read, where to start, who's a must-read comics writer and whose art is really superb.

If you're just a new fan who liked a movie and wants to investigate further, you go on Wikipedia and see that a character has been around since the 1950's or 60's or 80's and aren't quite sure where to start, and what the new series is, or whether the new series/reboot is just so shitty it's not worth your money and what the relevance of such and such crossover event is to this character. It's perfectly possible to figure it all out with a simple google search, but if you're literally only just jumping into this whole thing, it can be extremely complicated. Compare this to liking a Harry Potter movie and then going to a bookstore and buying the books to read them.

Sometimes people are just lazy, but other times they just don't know where to even begin, and sometimes they just don't feel like it's worth it to spend time just figuring out where to start with a particular character or a series. Especially when you don't know whether you'll like the thing in the first place. It's like that with anything; if something is easily available and easy to figure out in terms of where to start with it, people are more likely to check it out.
