Maybe I should specify something: many of the people I'm talking about are NOT trolls. There are trolls like you describe, of course, but even regular comic YouTubers are expressing utter hatred of Marvel's Plan, at least when it comes to the comics. Some have even denounced the "SJW" creators.

For the most part, people criticize Marvel for just having bad overall writing, in part due to the constant re-brandings of titles/mantle changes, and a complete lack of respect for properties they don't have the movie rights for, namely Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four. They then compare this to DC Rebirth, and the more tributary nature of those comics, praising the relaunch as the game changer of the industry, and saying that Marvel Legacy is a mere copycat way of staying relevant, before eventually saying that Marvel lied to them and that it is just another Marvel NOW thing. These same people, for the record, had vice versa thoughts of The New 52 and Marvel NOW, in case you thought they were biased.

Even major comic sites, like CBR, are saying that Marvel is failing. As the year started, they noted that Marvel usually sells a little under 40,000 comics of a book on average a month, but this year that number is a little over 20,000 on average. Marvel itself has said they heard from retailers that comics with "diverse" characters are not selling well, which sent the original video creators into a fit, saying that that wasn't the truth at all.

Could someone help me with all of this?
