I got your point to begin with, but guns and heroes wasn't a great comparison to use. I don't have a problem with people making their own takes on a license, but I can be totally displeased with the results. There is technically a set "this is what Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper looks like" because we saw in the movies what they are meant to look like. There is then an opening which allows everyone to now spin their own interpretation, but there will always be the one original which all others are compared to and based upon. In my opinion there shouldn't need to be any room for modern interpretation of some things that fans love because we loved them as they were. I'll use Robocop as an example now, the original 1987 film is frikkin' awesome and great whereas the new 2014 remake stunk (in my opinion), so I can be like "thank god these new guys didn't make Robocop first" based on there already being an original and I can choose to just re-watch the original instead of ever watching the remake again. If there was no original whatever then the new one wouldn't have a comparison to draw on and might look better for it. Comics aren't a totally great thing to compare to movies since they have to constantly refresh and update their images and appeals based on changing opinions whereas a movie can never do that without a remake or sequel which will really have no impact on the original itself. I mean to say that a comic is fluid and always changing, never really solidified, as opposed to a film which may never get any sequels or remakes and thereby becomes stuck within its original period. I would rather watch the reruns and original movies again than be subjected to another bad entry into the franchise, others are more experimental with the idea of new entries. Either way, regardless of these Japanized versions there is still the original version for those who don't care for this and this new interpretation doesn't actually change the original at all. You're right that there's no definitive representation of a genre since no one thing can sum up all angles of a genre, but for something like Star Wars there is the definitive original representation and then there's these interpretations.

I feel like I just said rather little in a lot of words. Oh and TheBlueMarvel, you didn't try. See I just said it, it isn't true, but I said it.
