You make a good point, but think about the origin of comic books. They were meant to be fun, exciting adventures where the people reading them could always depend on their heroes to come out in the end. I can't count how many heroes have fallen into the darkness and re-emerged as a different person entirely. I think Captain America and Thor - and maybe Iron Man and Spider-Man - are the only Marvel heroes who haven't turned evil at some point on their own account, just because they're too popular to go dark, not like Cyclops or Ant-Man. Point is, I think the world of comics should reflect the prospect of hope. We could all use a little of that at some point, right? No matter who we are, we're all human, and we all feel like hope is lost at the darkest of times. Marvel has turned from sudden and unexpected resolutions to last-ditch efforts that barely succeed without some casualties. It makes it look like the message is "Eventually, evil will win."
