Lets be honest here, DC 5G could had been potentially great. Things are already stagnated in DC and they could use a massive shakeup.

It could but the problem is the signs that things won't go that well. The general concept is a decent one, but it was pretty obvious that a lot of things they had in mind weren't really planned out.

>anything spear headed by bendis
>good
The man fucked Clark within months of writing him, why let him rewrite the future of a brand he has no understanding of?

I don’t think so, we already see some of 5g bleed into canon and it’s kinda dog shit. I mean I sure some good stories could of spawn from it, but you could say the same for the New 52 and that still resulted in a dumpster fire.

Under anyone else but the clowns who've run DC for the last 20 years, yes, it could have been great.

It doesn't solve any of the underlying problems that caused things to become shit the last 6 times they tried something like this. Its a bandaid solution, nothing more.

No, no more shake ups, people get sick of those, it’s happened like 8 times

Isn't 5G exactly the kind of shit Zig Forums hates? Replacing all of the legacy characters with shitty new versions?

>they could use a massive shakeup.
No that's the goddamn problem. Every fuckwad in the industry thinks things need "shook up" when all they ever do is the same weird bullshit. I'm sick of Crisis, I'm sick of Gotham on fire, and I'm sick of "hey check out this new guy taking up the mantle".

I'm glad 5G is dead

I honestly don't care for any of the current legacy characters so it doesn't matter to me. Wally got raped by DiDio and is an afterthought compared to Barry. Kyle and Guy are shafted by Jessica and Hal. It would be surprising if they are even mentioned at this point. Super-man ended and its doubtful we will ever see him again.

A lot of the recent legacy characters are fine. Jessica Cruz, and the entire Justice League of China, were all great. The problem is this event bullshit and Dan's clubhouse of writers such as King, Bendis, and Snyder

Well, Dan's gone, Bendis is getting pushed out, King's in a containment mini. I have a feeling Death Metal is Snyder's last hurrah before quitting DC and taking his minions with him. AT&T actually sees the comics as having value according to insiders so they might (*might*) actually put someone in there who's interested in nurturing actual stories and characters.

As opposed to Disney who barely knows or cares that Marvel Comics exist.

Bendis wasn't spearheading it. It was Didio's baby. Bendis was just going to be writing some of the one-shots.

Man I'd love it if Morrison took over. Lee is in over his head.
That's because Disney lets the company run itself, like any good parent organization.

After the last decade of fuckups, why would I trust it to be any better with 5g? It can always get worse.

>That's because Disney lets the company run itself, like any good parent organization.

No, it's because it's simply not worth it to care for Disney. Marvel is a tiny, tiny part of its empire and is only valuable as an IP farm. Even a successful comicbook series is pocket change for Disney.

Disney's only concern is that Marvel doesn't do something to tarnish a brand. Beyond that they don't give a shit what the comics do or how they do.

Bendis would write a one-shot but the rumor was that he would also be writing Jon as the new Superman.

That's essentially what I mean. Disney acquired an asset, and let it make money so it can go on investing in more shit

Well of course, everyone would have to write the legacies in their books, that was the whole point of the event.

>We're gonna reboot the multiverse!

That's where you're wrong. Now that Dan's gone, Snyder has a lot more play into what comes after DM's done.

Stop saying shit like this
Nobody knows what's actually going on in there

Why can't these retards just 1. hire good writers that 2. write good stories?

unless the majority of DC's current writers were fired like Snyder, Williamson, Tynion, Tomasi and Johns

would be fun "summer event" but thats about it. Not sure why writers think they have such amazing ideas that another writer wants to run with their mess after their gone.
i know people get sick of the "everything goes back to normal' at the end of every story but there is a reason why that style lasted so long in comics.

What the fuck was 5G?

I mean New 52 and Rebirth had zero planning also so that is likely

Editors don't care about story, they take a "big picture" approach and just come up with directions that will "excite readers" and then let the jobbers worry about the details.

This is why writers are driven out of the industry over and over again unless they luck out like Snyder, King, etc. and get special treatment. And even they have to wrestle with editors a lot. Morrison, Rucka, Waid, eventually all of them couldn't take it anymore, and I bet you anything Snyder is next to get out. Even Johns probably would have left if he didn't get into movies and TV instead.

All this while the same group of editors continue to be in charge year after year for literal decades.

Now that Didio got the rope, I bet Cotton and Harras are next since no one can protect them anymore.

You prevent stagnation simply by making good original stories that stand on their own rather than being lazy continuity serving filler issues e.g. the ongoing Green Lantern run with Grant Morrison writing.
What DOESN'T prevent stagnation is having a corporate planned reset where all the writers have to follow a bunch of stupid new circumstances like Wally West is using quantum physics powers from Watchmen to alter timelines basically as the new version of Superman punching continuity.

What it appeared to be was something akin to Superman/Batman Generations, where DC canon took place in more or less realtime since the Golden Age, with an "everything is canon" approach.

The most recent events would be moved back to take place circa 2000-2005

The actual event/status quo itself would be that the DCU jumped ahead 15-20 years from the current status quo to the "present day", with legacy characters taking over the mantles, though the only ones we knew about were Luke Fox becoming Batman and Jon Kent becoming Superman.
Presumably, the current series writers would individually explore what happened in during that skipped time and write new stories with these characters.
One rumour was that Damien essentially became evil/rogue and would be the villain of the Batman title.

Despite being a frogposter, this user is correct, and nothing will change until the editorial cabal is broken up and lined up against the wall.
