[quote=@Dead Cruiser] The problem that cape comics have created for themselves is that trying to make a story about one of these characters is a self-defeating enterprise. You can't introduce any stakes because none of the characters can die, or if they do they'll come back, or if they don't we'll just meet one from an alternate universe, or the whole story will be made pointless when the next writer comes onboard. They're too tied up in [s]smelling their own farts[/s] caretaking their very lucrative "modern myths" that they forgot that myths are supposed to have a point, or a conclusion. This is why manga is beating the big two in (last I checked) basically every market on the planet. [/quote] I mean in fairness to CapeShit they try to actually kill off the characters but then inevitably the successor comic [I]flops[/i] as FanBoys are dicks. Other than a brief appearance in an event (where he was resurrected by Hydra) Bruce Banner was dead for two years. Dying in 2016s Civil War and coming back in Immortal Hulk (which is a great story). Don't get me wrong, I believe what you say has merit and that it's incredibly hard to have characters grow/progress so a lot of the time they [I]don't[/i]. I however believe in the last couple of years they've been making a real push to try and make these characters grow and change. Maybe we'll finally get a PermaDeath.
