No. Because reboots suck. DC did the most famous reboot and now their caught in continual reboots like a misfiring engine.

No.

Move forward, not backwards.

Plus, it's a betrayal of all Marvel is supposed to mean.

They should, but not under the current regime.
Or at least gave the whole universe a welcome amnesia about lot of stuff and revel other as not being what it seems. Most of all, as soon as it would be fixed, never mention again the worst stories.

And repeated it at least a couple times more (so far), in different permutations.

I don't see the point in a reboot. It'd just become another chance to do 'issue zero with a special holographic cover' style weirdness. Civil War was kind of a reboot anyway, in terms of how much they altered the status quo in the MU.

I don't think a 'Crisis' type of reboot would really help. Sooner or later, someone would want to start to bring back the old continuity, anyway.

I said yes. But I can live without them doing it too.

Really, how hard is it to move forward without acknowledging those things that didn't quite work before?

The continuity police aren't as many as people believe, they're just louder than everyone else.

Not mentioning it every issue is not the same as making it never happen.

After all, when was the last time Spider-Man drove his Spider-Buggy?

Just start telling good stories. Reference that which you want to keep, and never again mention the stuff you wish would go away. Over time, it'll become forgotten by all but the statistician fanboys, and you have fixed the problems without a reboot.

If they can fix Hawkman, nothing is beyond hope.

:ohyes:

They even brought back my headband in Birthright! Rao be praised!

Now all that 'white robe and black body stocking' nonsense from the 80's can be forgotten.
