Tatoruzu It’s still far better than the convoluted mess's that Marvel and DC are. One of the reasons that TMNT got me back into comics is that it wasn’t part of a massive shared universe that collapsed under their own weight and required me to follow a bunch of characters and titles that I didn’t care about in order to follow what’s going on. There might be some people who have the money to spend forty or fifty bucks every Wednesday and time to build elaborate flow charts to track what’s going on, but most people, myself included, don’t. So, it’s no surprise that casuals and normies don’t have any interest anymore or have turned to online piracy.
Hell, I knew the MCU was screwed way before the current DEI controversy when they started to green light stuff like The Eternals and Shang Chi. You can only hold audiences attention and wallets hostage for so long.
As much as I really enjoyed Deadpool and Wolverine, I still think that having the X-Men and the Avengers in the same continuity is a bad idea. They should have been separated into their own things in the comics with their own creative and editorial staff years ago.
