>And I'm saying there's no point for someone to read old capeshit comics because they still have the same problems that modern comics do.
They're not nearly as SJW, for one thing. Generally of much higher quality since the people making them actually cared about making an entertaining product rather than making propaganda. By and large, at least. There were always exceptions.
>Nothing matters
Yes, it is fiction. Oh, you mean nothing matters in-universe. If only that were true. Then things wouldn't be so autistic that new readers couldn't understand. But then this wasn't a problem until after the Bronze Age. So you'd say stuff from the Bronze Age and before is even worse? What a terrible opinion.
>they're written like serials instead of stories
>implying serials aren't stories
>death is an inconvenience at best
Depends on what character, series, and story. And a story which may deal with resurrections isn't inherently bad. Look, if you want to talk shit about writing quality, that's one thing. If you want to say entire plot elements are inherently bad, that's fucking stupid.
>& again retcons out the ass. Which yes are a terrible thing in comics. Maybe not in of themselves when a writer puts themselves in a corner
No, that's precisely when they are bad, or at least it's a situation one should try to avoid. Well done retcons could still be done in such a situation, I suppose, but the fact that you act like this is better than a retcon not done just because of putting yourself in a corner is, again, retarded.
>but comics use retcons as excuses to resurrect characters, alter history dramatically, & completely rewrite backstory on the fly.
Sometimes those things are done well. Sometimes they aren't. Batman's origin is a retcon which altered his history quite dramatically and rewrote his backstory on the fly. Wow, so terrible. Forgive me for using this example twice. You're such a filthy casual I know you wouldn't know any other major examples anyway. Maybe Superman's origin? Ever heard of it? I'm sure Superman's origin of growing up with the Kents and not in an orphanage is so stupid and made the character so much worse and wasn't used for decades of stories and character development.
Retcons are just flashbacks with surprises. Sometimes those can dramatically alter things. That's not inherently bad. I like when Goku was just a magic monkey boy and Piccolo was just the devil. I also like some of the space adventures that came when both of them were retconned to be aliens. There is no reason to say it's a bad story just because it revealed information about the past out of chronological order.

I wish it would loop back further so I could go to the '90s again.
>>23678
Not my fault you're so autistic you can't articulate critiques about actual storytelling quality and instead make ridiculous claims like entire storytelling devices are inherently bad. Of course, it's obvious you can't articulate because you are a filthy casual that doesn't know what you're talking about. If you just said 'that shit is stupid and gay,' that would make enough sense and nobody would argue with you.
