Love how the "Anti-SJW" brigade are so quick to blame "diversity" for Marvel's sales slump and to ignore oh say... Canceling Fantastic Four, repeatedly sabotaging the X-Men Franchise, giving the Inhumans a Roman Reigns-esc push, having a digital distribution strategy that doesn't make a lick of sense, having three Crossover events in less than a year, building an entire crossover to a Captain America heel turn no one but Nick Spencer wanted, giving the evil Captain America storyline 16+ issues of prologue with tie-ins to other crossovers, and charging a $1 more per issue than DC does for new comics.
And on a more personal note a decade ago one of my favorite Marvel comics was New X-Men Academy X a book that introduced a whole new roster of character to be the next generation of the franchise. Then came a double dose of crossovers in the fom of House of M and Decimation. The creative team changed and what we got was a story called "Childhood's End" where the focus of the book was solely on X-23 and everyone who wasn't X-23 was suddenly expendable. Characters died left and right and I quit in disgust.
Years later I became fan of Avengers Academy another book dedicated to introducing legacy characters. It was smart, well drawn, and had tons of guest stars. Better yet forgotten characters from books I loved like Runaways and Sentinel were guest starring. I loved it but it got canceled and was replaced with Avengers Arena a cynical Hunger Games cash-in. I tried to give Arena a fair shake but as characters I liked from Academy and Sentiel were slaughtered I once again quit in disgust.
So after being burned twice why should I give Marvel the benefit of the doubt that they want to do legacy characters right now?
