  • This is why I don’t read Marvel Comics anymore, because they overwrite the whole continuity when all I want is to read something.

    As far as I know, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four all have their own agendas (heck, Spidey himself was the mascot of the company already) and the Avengers were were just another part of the continuity.

    But because Marvel wanted to adapt their films into movies so badly, when they went bankrupt and sold the rights to their characters Kevin Fiege took the remains and made THAT into the main continuity with all the other prominent characters now playing second-fiddle to the Avengers (Spidey ended up playinh second-fiddle to Iron Man because Tony Stark is more important in the movies than Peter Parker was back in the Bronze Age of Comics, and he didn’t even have the same storyline as the comics) while the whole continuity got overhauled for film adaptation and most of the lesser films Marvel has made have raking in the dough since their inception (Iron Man’s arch nemesis The Mandarin was readapted into another version of Syndrome from The Incredibles as a wannabe nerd turned villain who ends up getting killed off).

    DC is a better mainstream comic publisher because I hear they’re doing a better job writing comics with so many classic characters and even though they’re not perfect with all film adaptations they still write and make comics on a regular basis.

    I normally have sensory issues with movies anyway because I’m sensitive to noises.
