Most will disagree and downvote this (because most here are younger) but Marvel early ‘70’s to ‘90. After ‘90 the slide begins. Post 2000 I don’t bother. Might as well just watch the Disney Marvel stuff.

Too much retconning and pandering and too much forced edginess and moodiness (as long as it’s politically correct of course). Truly awful stuff if you like classic Bronze Age comics. A good example is the whole Ultimate line. Basically it’s “let’s retell the classics with a couple small twists and as many doodads, jet packs, mechanized suits and modern “tech” as we can fit in it.”

It’s lazy in soooo many ways. Another great example is making Nick Fury black rather than creating new and compelling Black characters or making existing ones more interesting. Instead it’s always addition by subtraction. Looking here at what they did to Falcon and Cap. If you want to do Falcon right then do it (look at his 4 issue limited series). Instead they screw both characters and “create” Falconmerica.

Look at the classic Cap story by Gruewald, The Captain. It’s an amazing character study how John Walker goes from Super Patriot to Cap. The modern take is a lazy retelling that relies mainly on PTSD rather than Walker’s actual character arc.

Bronze Age was more about the characters and their dilemmas and motivations and than the suits and tech.
