Given all of the things that you listed, what would you consider actual change? It seems like you’ve eliminated all possibilities from consideration (not to mention made assumptions about dozens of storylines.)
This is an inane view to me. It is through these temporary shifts that the reader is able to experience the characters, and world in all new situations. The die has been cast in regards to the foundation of the Marvel Universe. 100 years from now, Steve Rogers is still likely to be Captain America. Periodically the creators are able to develop situations that allows for the types of status quo changes we would have got if true linear development were allowed. I welcome them.
Provided that the Western comic ideals of the noble vigilante and monthly serials survive 100 years. I’m hopeful, but I do hope for comics to branch out in the West to include other things. Honestly, Spider-man bores me now. Never was a Cap fan. Most of the ones I like get canceled within 6 years, so.. *shrug* I love the medium and the talent that is involved with it, but the only Marvel title that has me interested is Guardians of the Galaxy. That and a little Iron Man.
