The old stuff -- while entertaining -- got stagnant real fast. The old status quo becomes old and redundant. All these changes bring about new storytelling potentials. I'm glad Marvel has gotten the bravery to do new and different things. After reading comics for over 30 years, watching the same characters do the same things time and time again gets pretty boring. Change is good. Plus the days of black-and-white good versus evil stuff is not really in line with our times. Marvel has always been a company that told stories that were relevant to the era in which they are told. We live in a day and age where there are no black and whites on who is good and who is evil. Take a look at world politics, one country can be considered an ally one day and an enemy nation the next based on whatever changing world interests are out there. The type of stories being told now are reflective of the type of world that we live in now.
