#comics can afford to be stagnant in its status quo and just Sit in specific dynamics for years if not decades without change

Okay but like

There is no 'definitive' comic version of a character. Everyone is constantly retconned and rewritten. We all create our own ideal comic version of the character from their decades of runs and bits and pieces of panels and quotes.

'comics version is better' which comic version. which specific issue. There's no consistency. There's no Santa Claus.

#;ooc tag #there is no single character who is CONSISTENTLY well written #oh they might have great runs under a specific author but I guarantee more often than not that run is followed by a garbage one #and comparing 616 to mcu in that specific regard is so STUPID because you're comparing THOUSANDS of issues #to what is essentially a 25 issue run #like a strength and a weakness of the comic medium is that it can be cherry picked IMMENSELY #some characters with thousands of comic appearances have only appeared in the mcu once so far #'oh this character's one appearance sucked in the mcu' so did their dozens of shitty comic runs whats the POINT #also this is a different argument but #comics can afford to be stagnant in its status quo and just Sit in specific dynamics for years if not decades without change #movies CANNOT do that. actors age and get old. so that's why steve is hanging up the shield after essentially 10 'issues' #movies by very nature have to be snappy and quick and overly dramatic #while we can devote a two year comic run to just howard the duck doing fuck all #god this rant came out of nowhere lmfao
