Forgot to bump this.

Ant@ Yeah, I have noticed that their stories have turn too simplistic and generic, the lack of any form of meaning, message, simbolism, depth or sign beyond self-reference and pop culture is probably because of the new younger audence that is now targeret.

 

[Antvasima]

That is possible, yes. Or maybe most of the current writers are either less skilled or motivated, because of the lesser pay rates.

Can we just talk about how useless Odin has been since Fraction brought him back? He came back to fight Galactus one time and then ran away from Cul, locked himself out of the story until Original Sin, fought some frost giants with a machine gun, jobbed to bloody Jane Foster, unable to heal Frigga's stab wound by Loki and got stomped by Mangog. Seeing him as this old stubborn fool played around by Loki really hurts the character's image of a stubborn but still wise and loving father built by Kirby, Simonson and Jurgens

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, I also much prefer the Kirby, Simonson, DeFalco, and Jurgens version of Odin.
