@zorg I’d argue that Marvel (and DC) are like Disney : they will abuse copyright laws for profit

The original creators of 90% of the superheroes are dead. And therefor they should have been public domain decades ago if it hadn’t been for Disney.

@odinsgrandson IMHO that only makes the superhero comic genre even more meaningless.
The heroes always win, and if they don’t then an alt timeline is created until they do win …

It kind of reminds me of a short story I once read that humanity discovering that alternate universes were real and you could travel to them.
It ends with someone pickup a gun and killing himself, because what’s the point of living in a crappy universe when there is another you out there that is happy … (and a massive rise in suicides … )
(yes … it was a very depressing story and it practically convinces me that multi-verses can only ever be bad … )
