The first three movies were good, but Star Wars is a pretty small, shallow universe. Not a good base for a big extended franchise.

They actually did something like this with the 'Real Clone Saga' miniseries.

Yeah, they got the original writers back and gave them six issues to retell the Clone Saga as they originally intended it. IIRC, it moves at a break neck pace but suffers from having to re-explain what 90s Spider-Man continuity was since it came out in like 2010.

Also, it's infinitely better because it doesn't undo the Death of the Green Goblin. See, in their mini-series, neither Ben nor Peter die or are they confirmed as a clone and, instead, Norman Osborn dies and is revealed to be a clone. Which, honestly, is a lot better. Also, I would love if they kill off the Green Goblin in the future and reveal he was a clone the whole time to make the Clone Saga retroactively less stupid.

I think it had more to do with waid being clueless at best at times with stuff like viv asking about microagressions and at worst having really horrible poo poo like kamala saying you can't punch the Nazi after he burns down a mosque because that makes you just like the Nazi and having Amadeus say as an Asian American I know about internment camps but maybe we need to let these people stay locked up in one after inhumans tell the champions THEY WANT TO STAY FORCIBLY LOCKED UP IN A HYDRA INTERNMENT CAMP

Yeah, those were pretty bad. Like, really loving bad. Sometimes, I think we forgot what fascism is. Like, I'd say it's a change in education, but I tend to notice it more in older people. It's like "am I the only one who had to see pictures of dead people in history class when discussing the holocaust? Like, camps are loving terrible. And did they not show you the camps in America too? Because we saw those and, outside a couple apologetic, a lot of teachers were open on how horrible they were." Like, that "I'm an Asian american -- ignore that my words are being written by a white cishet man -- but maybe we should leaves these Muslims in a Nazi camp for their own good." Like, Waid is not a Nazi. Let me be clear. Waid is not a bigot. Waid has actually done some good and actually stood up for people when it matters But Waid's writting on Champions comes off like it's written by that that kind of guy who wants to do good and be progressive, but the point flies right over his head. He's not bad and his comics are actually really good for the most part, but Champions, especially the Secret Empire stuff, was a head scratcher.

Listen, I have little faith in anything happening for two reasons: 1) Disney managed to make copyright law a loving orobos of poo poo that has stolen our own culture from us and 2) the current government is super pro-business and is run by a corrupt business man.

People say Ultimate Spider-Man is good, but Ultimate Spider-Man isn't very good.

I didn't finish it, maybe it gets really good, but from what I saw it was just a depressing slog that speeds through less interesting versions of Spider-Man stuff. I gave up sometime after Carnage killed Gwen Stacy, because goddamn. Gwen Stacy had to die because Gwen Stacy is dead in real life, so they just kill her and it's gross and then Peter Parker is very sad because being Spider-Man has brought nothing but suffering and misery to himself and everyone around him.

About Gwen Stacy being dead in USM, she actually comes back in the Clone Saga and stays alive until the Ultimate Universe is destroyed in Ultimate End.

That's even worse

Well, she doesn't get killed in Ultimate End. She just dies with everyone not named Miles Morales or Reed Richards. Also, she may not be dead because Spider-Men II brought back the Ultimate Universe. So, actually, I take it back: she is still alive!

Wait, Musk is getting into Twitter fights? I got the vibe in recent months that this man lives off of everyone thinking he's a genius. When he couldn't handle his investors and ran to a sycophant publicly, it really made it clear how fragile he is. I don't know what he expects going to happen to all of that after this public display of stupidity and childishness.

I heard about him running from his investors and attacking the media, but I did not hear about him forcing his employees to lose stock options if they try to unionize. The guys a real piece of work, it seems.
