I don't want "all-different," I want to see my favorite characters return to being the characters I love reading them as. Like Steve Rogers as Captain America again, Tony Stark to be a normal jerk rather than a "superior" one, Thor Odinson back to being THOR again, etc. I don't mind them shaking things up to try new stories out every once and a while, but at some point I would like to see them return things to how they should be. This all "all-new, all different" just sounds like more of what Marvel is already doing... Which is fine for a time, but I honestly was hoping that things would begin to return to the normal status quo following Secret Wars, not more of the same stuff we're getting right now...
Well said. Their new promotion "All-New, All-Different" made me a little uneasy from the get-go, and I wasn't quite sure why until after reading this.
For instance, one of the great things about indie comics is how the writers are offered pretty much an infinite amount of creative freedom, without being tied down by having to maintain any sort of status quo. It is what makes them a lot more enjoyable for me compared to comics from DC or Marvel - but at the same time, there's a point when "shaking things up" just gets tiring when applied to the Big Two.
Because, like you said, we want to see our favorite characters return to being the characters we love reading them as.
Ultimately, change seems to be good in small doses. Anything more than that and it just gets dull.
