Good times, good times. And by “good” I mean the opposite of that.

Date: 2022-11-20 11:28 pm (UTC)I know, that's asking a lot. But otherwise, it means editorial went "yeah, here's the new thing: relaunching series after a time lapse where someone did something awful but we won't ever actually EXPLAIN it, we'll just keep moving forward."
Oh, wait, Iron Man relaunch is coming up and apparently he's broke and everyone hates him also!

Date: 2022-11-21 12:50 am (UTC)So Marvel is really using the same setup across several books independent of each other? They're "The House of Ideas," but only picked one?
Maybe it's like an in-company contest, and whoever does it best gets theirs adapted into a movie in the MCU.

It's not like Marvel put out Iron Man and Doctor Strange (not exactly the same movie but close) in the same year.

Date: 2022-11-22 12:11 am (UTC)Online I've seen similar comments about Deep Impact and Armageddon but I haven't actually seen Deep Impact so I can't comment on that one.
It happens enough that SOME people notice.
But what do I know? I'm just a guy who can't remember which one is The Prestige and which one is The Illusionist. Pretty sure I've seen both.

Date: 2022-11-22 03:02 am (UTC)It's the endless sequels and remakes that convince most people that the storytellers are out of ideas.
Then you have the more involved audiences who criticize things because they think "every Marvel movie is the same" or "every Marvel Comics event is Civil War" or "that specific director/creator keeps making the same movie/comic" but there are considerably less of those people even though you're more likely to find them in fan communities like this. Sometimes I'm one of them.

Date: 2022-11-22 03:44 am (UTC)To tie into an example from another comment I made to this post, I think it's silly that Kurt Busiek and Carlos had to completely scrap their entire original plot for Avengers Forever just because it was similar to Mutant X. Looking back at it decades later, it's a silly concern. I'm sure people would have joked about the similarity at the time, but it would ultimately just be a bit of trivia. Nobody today cares that Avengers Forever was 3 months late, and nobody today would care it resembled Mutant X.
