I agree. Spider-man for example has sucked since One More Day, and that happened all the way back in '06.
Marvel as a whole has sucked since about that time too. The continuity is awful, every new run just resets everything, so nothing ultimately matters. Writers always try to outdo each other with big events that radically change things, only for things to go very quickly back to status quo.
Woke is the biggest problem, but the continuity is another major one, and it's been that way for a while. It probably started in the mid-nineties when shock-value stories became big (clone saga, death of superman, etc.) But it seemed better by late-90s early 2000s, only to go downhill again in the mid-to-late 2000s.
That was the point that broke Spider-man comics for me. The rest of Marvel was some sad soap at that point anyway. In fact I think the X-men were always a soap.
Went to DC, and then they made the dumb Bat canon post those Bale movies, and the need for an ever sprawling 'family' of 'better than batmans'.
The worst though, was the fucking 'Conjunx endura' garbage that came out of IDW. All the fucking time. They alphabetized the original Trans for no reason than shitty plot that must mirror our culture all the fucking time.
The comic industry is dead, and I just wish it were buried already.
yeah I'm a Transformers fan (another subreddit that has been taken over) and the bots over there were gushing over IDW's "Lost Light" storyline.
I was about to get it, until some jackass mentioned how great the representation is for gays and trans. I'm sorry, but why the fuck is that shit in a comic that should be about giant transforming robots killing each other? I'm just fucking done. At least the old Marvel Simon Furman books still exist.
