Part of me really hopes so. But that's the same part of me that has faith that Marvel will actually do something with the actually not terrible storytelling they've wrought. The problem with storytelling the last several years has been a willingness to shake up the universe, but an unwillingness to CHANGE THE STATUS QUO. I mean imagine a Marvel world where the mutant communtiy actually HAS to change as a result of the actions of one of its own. Imagine a Marvel world where the Avengers are continually held accountable for their actions. In 5 years, you bet we'll remember this arc IF these changes actually hold.

Spoiler alert: they wont.

I don't think we have to be too scared. At least I hope not. When they first announced Marvel NOW you bet I was, but the more I think about it, the more I say nah. I mean we're not talking a DC reset. Our teams, once reorganized in comics, still have decades of histories, prejudices, and affairs to consider. Movies can't say that. Even with movie accurate costumes and furies. I think that once Marvel NOW hits, we won't have to be worried about Cap being Chris Evans, or Thor being Hemsworth. I think, optimistically, comics are comics.


but then why is the hulk wearing armor?
