A fault that western comics have is because they stick with one character, explore them EVERY way they can but because they don't want lose the franchise they built up around that character, they keep doing reimaginings, multiverse/ different dimensions etc to reuse the same character.
This exposes them to the leftist argument that the character itself is a title than a person as look at all the different versions they have and they are all 'spiderman, Superman, Thor' etc
That's ironically why they are having a hard time in Asia, they just reuse concepts (Isakai for example) than characters and just go in different directions. This makes it harder for leftists to latch on and claim any character as they all tend to be one shot and never reused for another property.
Yeah, like this is a problem that predates Woke and the comic industry has been pushing since basically forever.
And unfortunately, basically half the time any comic book line is remotely popular for a run is when they are focusing on "Character BUT X" for a while. So it won't stop.
Like, Batman who Laughs was the only remotely talked about Batman run in a decade. And it was literally "Joker but also Batman!"
