>Having your own artificial end point doesn't erase the fact these comics & characters all still keep going.
Yeah no, it isn't my own. Ted Kord died and Booster Gold became some sort of god. Then the universe reset (or at least it did as far as they're concerned) and new versions exist there. But since Booster basically became the god of time, he still exists and gets to see a universe where maybe his friend will get to be happy. That's a good ending. It's not my personal end point. The new Booster and Kord are literally completely separate people. Old Booster has interacted with new Booster.
>Even the justice league "dying" isn't gonna last.
Of course not. And that's good, because the new thing they're doing is shit. But at least we all know it is just gonna be like one story arc and then done. Not that the comics will get much better, since the writers will still be shit.
The fact that you say "even the Justice League dying" as if that would be the most likely thing to last (and thus it not lasting shows nothing would last) shows how clueless you are. You have it entirely backwards. Of course the big moneymakers are the ones that will always come back. The ones that don't make as much money are the ones that are more likely to die and stay dead. Hence Ted Kord, who always failed to make money, died and stayed dead. And then that story was good, and they did several stories about how he must stay dead no matter what. And they were also pretty good. And now he's most famous for being dead.
>& movie purposes.
If they did things for movie purposes it would be better. Instead the big two do retarded shit like kill off Iron Man and replace him with a black girl right at the height of the movie franchise's popularity. If the comics just chased the movie money, things would be a lot better.
>You really love to overthink everything to justify not just calling these comics trash.
None of my own thinking was in there. I just discussed some books I read. Pre-Flashpoint Booster Gold survived Flashpoint as a different guy than the Post-Flashpoint Booster that was created, and then he became Waverider, and it was pretty cool. Which was good because the Post-Flashpoint Booster Gold was fucking boring. There's also a Post-Flashpoint Ted Kord, but as he's closely associated with Booster Gold, that only cements how much of a separate character and story Post-Flashpoint Ted Kord is from Pre-Flashpoint Ted Kord.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea who Booster Gold or Blue Beetle are in the first place. For recommended reading, I'd suggest Blue Beetle Vol 5 (only 5 issues), Blue Beetle Vol 6, Booster Gold Vol 1, Justice League Vol 1 (only like 5 issues before it became Justice League International), Justice League International Vol 1., Formerly Known as the Justice League (6 issues), JLA Classified #4-9, Countdown to Infinite Crisis (one-shot), Infinite Crisis, 52, Booster Gold Vol. 2, and Convergence. That would pretty much cover what I'm talking about. Of course the characters appeared in more stories from 1986-2006, and they would help give more context and make you more attached to the characters, but I couldn't realistically expect you to read all of The Death and Return of Superman just for when the Justice League International shows up for like one issue, even though it is important to really giving the characters a little more depth than one might expect without it. You don't need that context to see how the story ends and how these characters are done. The new guys with their names are new guys, and they are treated as such by the story. Booster and Beetle are some of the worst examples you could use if trying to prove that Big 2 comics never end, because they both ended. You might as well use Uncle Ben as an example of how characters always come back to life.
I know you won't read anything, including this post, but maybe someone else would be looking for a Blue and Gold reading list, so here you go.
