>Super heroes have multiple writers over time >Writers can bastardize characters that previous writers made >Different artist means it can have shittier art or art not intended to for certain characters
I don't understand how that's acceptable with people who invest time into comics

They either have bought the lies of the companies about "what really matters is the character, not the team behind it" or know that what really matters is who is behind the current run at each moment and just select and choose to read or not depending on the creative team.
It's not that hard to understand.
Matthew Diaz
Because the opposite is also true. >Writers can elevate characters that previous writers made >Different artist means it can have better art or art more suited for certain characters
Wolverine was shit before Claremont grabbed him out of the one-and-done heap a decade later. The early 00's Plastic Man comic is an incredible use of cartooning techniques usually considered unfit for superhero comics. Prophet wouldn't exist without this model.

Think James Bond movies

It takes a hell of a lot more effort to undo the damage of a shit writer than it takes to ruin a character. Just think of all the times a beloved character got used as a mouthpiece for a hack writer who just wanted to soapbox about some stupid bullshit, or all the horrible out-of-character shit that characters have been forced to do by shitty writers.
Jeremiah Jackson
>It takes a hell of a lot more effort to undo the damage of a shit writer It's literally as easy as ignoring it. See; Kurt Busiek's Untold Tales of Spider-Man and Joe Kelly's Spider-Man/Deadpool. They just write good stories instead of worrying about canon because, at the end of the day, canon doesn't mean shit.

Is this a meme or some Sup Forums creator actually said it?
Lucas Thompson
Didio, the guy in your pic and top brass at DC, said it.
It's a meme because people love memeing about how he's SAVING COMICS and because it's absolutely bullshit, especially at DC.

>I don't understand how that's acceptable with people who invest time into comics So invest your time into non-superhero comics instead, which (generally) don't have this problem. Comics are an entire medium, they aren't restricted to one genre.
You can branch out into superhero comics later on, after realizing that you were wrong and all this time it was no big deal.

Then go back to reading Naruto, jizzrag.

Evan Evans

Christopher Morales
What the fuck is Boruto? A jap burito?
Brayden Johnson
It's Naruto's son. He's got his own manga.

Juan Johnson
it's Japanese for "Bort"

change means you get bad things AND good things
bad things and good things being near each other make them both look more extreme
a good enough good is obviously still good
BUT a bad enough bad is amazingly terrible
plus a flexible continuity means you can explain away anything you really dont like
its like individual jazz performances or seeing the same play performed by different actors or the same meal cooked by different chefs
variety is the spice of rice

The true nature of comics is that the cream will always rise to the top.
Bad decisions will in time be forgotten and not built upon, or retconned away, or changed in some way to make acceptable.
The good decisions and stories will be the ones that new generations of writers will build upon and cite as their favorites. Everything is canon, but only the good stuff stands the test of time.
Superhero comics are a self-healing organism.

>Super heroes have multiple writers over time So? >Writers can bastardize characters that previous writers made Or improve them. >Different artist means it can have shittier art or art not intended to for certain characters Not intended? You mean not suitable? Again there are plenty of times that an average or poor artist is replaced with someone better.
