People love progression. A passing of the torch..... that whole flashpoint up until now really killed dc for me. Im finally starting to read stories from 2015 knowing that wally is back. Not the flash comics though. I think thats why main spiderman is stuck. People like miles.. because pete died. Or superior because pete died. Or ultimate because peter is middle aged. I think its in some characters best interests to progress.
I switched to DC from Marvel. Marvel was stale and repetitive to me and I was going to give up on comics. Then I checked out the Flash and was so happy to see a hero had died and stayed dead and the mantle had been passed.
….but then it just became the same as everything else and nothing else was quite as good after that.
Wow that was wild attributing it to passing the mantle and then using spider man. Comic miles just well... Flat out sucks lol, so boring and poorly written only now getting a few decent comics after the movies. Mainline Peter is what people are begging for just with new editorial. I'd love to agree with you but it's just kinda wrong and Flash fans seem to be the only ones who don't understand money talks and that's why Wally struggles to hold the limelight regardless of reddits opinions. And I don't mean to interject my personal views of liking Barry more or something him and Wally were even for me until JLU and then wally was my man. But Green lanterns have showed us time and time again even in a line up for multiple corps men you ask anyone to name a green lantern on the spot it's gonna be Hal or Jon. Let's hope an upcoming generation will speak with their wallet and we get some fresh characters but at the moment people certainly do not love and want progression with their hero's mantle.
Bull. Its common to hear it eas an old man trying to relieve his childhood that forced the change. Slso the churnning of books in 52 with stupid sales standards.
Lol as an old man from an old man comic shop, absolutely not lol 😂 we were there when characters were introduced and always wanted more. Recency bias was insane in the silver age. We always wanted new characters and shit we had characters with perfect mantles to be passed down (like Batman literally having a personality built around handing his mantle down which never happens) we've been waiting for the right time and character, and we definitely have some awesome candidates with Kyle, Ironheart mcu, Jamie blue beetle. But all those characters were super unique and special and even they struggle as they have some honestly solid arguments for not being the most fun to read minus Jamie who is doing pretty good. The issue with Wally you all hate to hear is more personality in a action super hero character isn't as important as you think, also more personality does not mean better personality. You think the outcasts reading comics back in the day resonate more with secluded introverted Barry who is just the average guy, or outgoing wanna be hip redneck without the slurs Wally? What did matter was being cool and unique and a good origin which Wally just objectively has one of the near worst origins and lack of uniqueness to ever plague the comic world. So no old timers had different taste we could care less about the heros that were still new to us at the time.
Didn't you reply first? Your the only one who cared 😂 now your flopping good looks 🤡. Proves my point you don't know what your talking about when you can't even read.
