Purge the liberals and I mean that seriously. The books have become infested with overt political messages and the writers beating you over the head with their political beliefs and social views instead of just telling stories where good guys fight bad guys and engage in soap opera interpersonal drama.

Even the "political" runs of the past decades managed to maintain a mostly neutral political tone overall and it wasn't just a bunch of "WAAAH TRUMP IS A MEANIE! MUH STRONK WOMYN OF POWER!" bullshit with nothing else going on.

Marvel needs to stop fishing for NYT and WaPo headlines and just create good fucking cape comics which is something DC has finally seemed to actually fucking realize themselves. They also need to stop trying to ride the coattails of the movies because nobody is reading the comics who isn't already a comci fan. Nobody is going to fucking read Civil War II just because something bad happened to Rhodey just like in the movies. Fuck off with that shit.

That, again, comes down to the current generation of lazy writers and editors who have no ideas of their own and find it far easier to just ape pop culture and the MCU.

What business does this have in a cape comic? Again, writers beating you over the head with their political opinions that nobody reading these books actually wants to know--a complete inability to separate their personal and professional lives--and retardedly aping old story concepts because oh wow Steve Englehart implied that the guy behind the Secret Empire was Nixon, therefore we'll just make every villain a stand-in for whatever political figure we hate too!

For real though, reboot everything ONCE (only once) and try to bring characters back to they're roots. Put Peter back in Highschool, and be the half plucky half angsty crime fighter we all know and love, make Thor the actual God of thunder once more, Captain America becomes the man who fights for American ideals, not just the country blindly, make Squirrel Girl be the wacky side character that doesn't get a whole lot of attention but is saved for periods of time so she doesn't get stale.

Hire actual artist, not bullshiters who trace Google images or make Tumblr-tier garbage.

And hold back on the "Huge, can't miss" arcs. It doesn't work, they are usually really bad, and the status quo always takes effect anyway.

It is shit though, and Marvel's beaten the SJW horse to fucking death. To answer the OP's question though, I'm not sure of what could be done at this stage. Comics in the 70's and 80's did well because writers were trying new and progressive (for the times) stories that were priced at a point where a kid could spend only part of their allowance and get 4-6 issues of whatever they wanted and not break their banks. Those days are gone, the books aren't for kids (in price), and the disposable medium that was intended for them is in this fucked up strange awkward place instead. There's no returning from it.

It's sorta simple.

1. Get rid of Bendis
2. Get rid of ANYONE that agrees with SJW idealogy. These people are bound to insert that shit into comics, and nobody reads comics to get lectured by some uber liberal heroes
3. Reboot everything for one time in a Flashpoint-fashion. Shit is all jumbled up now, especially with continuity being ignored by Bendis. History needs to rewind so that Marvel can now try to not fuck up again.
4. Make sure that One More Day is made nonexistant in post-reboot Marvel.
5. Cancel Squirrel Girl

>>84204226

That's impossible. At this point, perma-death in the main universe of DC and Marvel is never going to happen. Fucking Barry Allen was dead for years until Final Crisis happened.

Marvel couldn't even fucking let AUNT MAY die. Fucking Aunt May.

The status quo is here and just neverchanging. DC is afraid of Batman fanboys going away if Bruce dies, so Bruce will stay alive no matter what. Likewise, the same goes for Clark Kent, but who knows, maybe in a decade he'll be replaced by his son?

The solution is to do what Marvel did, and just make an alternate universe where perma-death is allowed. Just don't fuck it up like Marvel did with Ultimatum where they obliterated half of the fucking cast in that universe.

Shooter.

Shooter needs to come back. Shooter needs to cut a dea lwith Disney and boot out Brevoort's fat, useless ass. He needs to be Editor-in-Chief again.

I guarantee you that within a year he'd have Marvel working again. It would be a bloody, yearlong purge, but the end result would be something beautiful.
>>
>>84203200
Get MJ and Spiderman back together.
Get Misty Knight and Iron Fist back together.
Stop all of the crossover events full stop. Even have it freakin' revealed that Ulysses is a plant and the whole thing was orchestrated to cause the CW2 just to throw it in everyone's faces that they are dumb and are acting dumb. If a superhero randomly shows up in another comic I want it to be a BIG deal, like in the old days when it was The Mighty Thor GUEST STARRING THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!!!!

Undo all the gender and race swapped heroes that serve no purpose. Femthor and falcon-cap can go, Spiderman and Marvel can stay because they are actually characters in their own right.

Make new characters or bring back existing characters from the different races and genders. Marvel comics has been going on for decades, they have SHITLOADS of heroes that can pass the torch to a new generation or come back. 3D man during Secret Invasion was a good example of a black character coming into the spotlight.

Focus on strong stories for groups and individual characters, but make sure that the writers actually read the information about the characters.

Less "THE WORLD IS GOING TO END TOMORROW/NEXT WEEK/NEXT MONTH" situations, the comicbook industry is burned out with galactic armageddon. I would rather read about Nova trying to break down an alien slave network that has started abducting humans, or more Spider Duo actually travelling around doing all sorts of Batman and Robin like adventures.

Finally, have every comic script read and reviewed by someone whose job it is to make sure that the writers don't try to use a comic as their soapbox in a "I guess the world wants heroes to be born with a Y chromosome when I just want to talk about tampons" mockingbird situation.

I don't think you could find 10 young writers in the whole industry that would stack up to Shooter's requirements. There's an entire generation that grew up with nothing but company-spanning crossover events and have been conditioned to write with only that in mind.

Shooter would basically have to make Marvel into the Expendables and have everyone working for him be 45 years of age, minimum.
>>
>>84203200
Really the issue comes down to that when Marvel actually makes decent books such as Vision, Moon Knight or Black Panther - It's a tiny run.

Reminder that X-Factor had a 50 issue run during modern era not that long ago but there's no possible way they'd do that now even with renumber/relaunch

Actually I don't think that's a problem. Marvel has good writers and artists, they just don't know where to put them. For example Spencer, give that fucker lightheaded fun books, maybe Young Avengers with Miles, Kamal and Sam. Or Waid, give him an Avengers roster he cares about. Give him Busiek era Avengers roster. Give Hastings more work. Get Ewing high profile books. Keep Bendis contained to 2 books. Ease Lemire's and Soule's work load and keep Lemire away from team books. Also their output is best on experimental titles.

This is what DC was going to do with Earth 2 until they, you guess it, obliterated half of the fucking cast in that universe. And then brought in killer Batman, evil Superman bizzaro-clone, etc.

The alternate universe thing will only work if they first set some ground rules for the writers, i.e. DON'T USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO GO KILL-CRAZY YOU FUCKHEADS.

It's made it a lot easier to laugh off most of the shit that gets posted here. The average person on /pol/ or /co/ discussing politics isn't old enough to have even taken any college-level classes on polisci of sociology or any of the shit they claim the be experts on, which is why these debates always devolve into the regugitation of catchy slogans and buzzwords and facts carefully assembled for image macros.

No they aren't. Marvel's current output, some of it is pretty good. Most creators, be it DC or Marvel are Liberals. No, what you need is good editors who can tell writers to keep their politics out of the book if it's inappropriate.

>You just want change for the sake of change.
Add onto that I find most people who want "change" seem to ironically stick to the rigid idea of legacy as change. So really they only want so much change.

It's about as dynamic as switching out a red triangle in triangular hole for a blue one. Everything has to comfortably fit within an already existing pre-established mold to give the illusion of shaking things up while literally playing safe.

I mean to me the very idea to me that sane people will willingly erase their own identity to sub for Bruce doesn't feel like a coming of age. It feels like they've been conditioned to believe they're disposable and to think that's noble when really it's psychotic. They're literally just a replacement to keep what they believe is a more important idea than themselves alive until the next set of spare batteries arrive.

I guess people who grow up with these sort of things find some kind of allure or connection to them based on which version of a character was around during their childhood and how it shaped their thinking, but that ain't me.

Wouldn't it be more a testament to their growth and what they've learned from their elders if a character invented their own identity like the originals instead of just waiting for a hand-me-down?

Don't get me wrong, it can certainly surprisingly work out like in the case of Batman Beyond, it's not always a bust but often Legacy for the sake of Legacy is the death of writing and originality. Characters end up becoming a checklist of homages, modern takes or subversions. Walking "This Ain't Your Dad's X".
>>
It all comes down to a stronger, more professional editorial department. It always does. That is why the Shooter era was the company's golden age. Sure, he was a tyrant, but he was passionate about the job and kept a tight rein on things. After he left everything went downhill. Look at the 90's where you had no strong editorial department. You had marketing suits making major decisions, you had editorial reorganized into the most incompetent set up imaginable, you had Tom DeFalco using the EiC position to give himself his dream writing gigs, you had goddamn Bob Harras.

You've got to have editors who know their job, are passionate about the job, and are willing to stand up to creators and suits. Strong editorial is absolutely vital. It keeps things cohesive and directed.

And, y'know, I'd be totally willing to give DeFalco another shot at the EiC chair. He admits he did a piss poor job and abused his authority the first time around.

Going that back wouldn't work . You'd be removing essential character development that those characters had.But yeah i agree they should probably reboot each character individually and go back to the most simple point in time that still allows for interesting stories to be told.
>>
>>84204721
This.
>>
>>84204171
Rebooting characters is stupid and is far from progress. The last thing Marvel needs now is for fans to leave like DC fans did after new52 reboot.
>>

By re-reading the stuff you grew up with in your formative years.
Read only this, as all that deviates from it will aggrevate you.
>>
>>84204171
Rebooting is pretty stupid. It's not like Marvel writers are rehashing the same old stuff. Marvel just needs writers who can write something new like Milligan did with X-static, Morrison with X-men, Batman and Action comics.

JQ hasn't been EiC for a long time. Sure, he gave us OMD and No More Mutants, but at least he was able to attract talented writers and contributed to some of the strongest runs of modern Marvel.

>>84206203
Has the right idea. And personally, it all falls on current EiC Axel Alonso, who lacks a spine and gives us all this SJW and Inhumans crap. Marvel needs a new EiC.

>Stop movie pandering, let the comics flourish on their own. Playing constant catch-up is just pathetic.

>Settle on ONE point of relaunch and just continue as normal from there.
>Use Bendis less

They'd never do half of that, but that's the best group of suggestions I have. The way I see it, they need to do one of two things: 1. They allow each series/creator do their own thing and flourish in different directions. Or, 2. they need a very strong creative direction by someone competent. A Kevin Feigie for the comics.

OP here. Is there anyone in the industry today that's like a modern counterpart to Shooter that Marvel should hire? Or should they just rehired Shooter?

Shooter was one of a kind. Well there were DC editors too that were really good. If you're asking which is the best editor currently in industry (big 2), that would be Mark Doyle in my opinion.

When will the shooter meme end. Shooter drove away most of Marvel's top talent and it resulted in Marvel being complete shit in the next decade. There are better editors than shooter.

The only thing that can fix Marvel now is a complete restructuring of the entire company and starting over from zero.

There never was a time when any comics were great OP. You see them as such because of the time that has passed. Just as many people back then complained about stories being preachy then too and minorities being added.

>>84210004
Shooter's rein of terror ended with Gruenwald Cap, JMD on Spider-Man doing Kraven's Last Hunt, Walt Simonson Thor, Peter David Hulk, Nocenti Daredevil, Michelinie Iron Man, Englehart West Coast Avengers, Stern Avengers, Louise Simonson X-Factor and Power Pack, Claremont X-Men and New Mutants...

Yeah he drove away a lot of talent, but they had more than enough to spare.

Isn't Marvel on its own enough band recognition? I mean you dont see Ghibli or Pixar (atleast till recently) repeat the same shit over and over, and they do just fine. Just slap a Marvel on the cover if you really need to, just come up with an entirely new universe/characters.
>>
>>84213975
New characters are not Marvel's strongest point.
Yeah, I know a lot of people waifu Kamala, that still doesn't make her actually good. After her, most of Marvel's new characters from this decade are either agonizingly bad or completely forgettable

This would actually be hilarious. Literally every villain in every comic would be a trump replica. Thousands and thousands of Trumps. They could even make an arc with all the Trumps uniting together and the whole marvel universe has to stop them.

I have had this idea to fix American comics for a while.

Basically you eliminate the universes and continuity between all the books.

A writer/artist team picks some characters. Then they just get to make a book that tells a specific story. Running for how ever many issues they need to properly tell it. The book as no effect on anyone else's book.

So team A makes a batman book. Where Batman rapes the Joker while Gordon watches. Team B can make a Batman book where Gordon rapes the Joker while Batman watches. Team C can make a Joker book where he rapes Batman while Gordon watches.

Bring back Jemas. Best Marvel has ever been.
Morrison X-men
JMS spider-man
Ellis nextwave
Ennis punisher
Rucka Wolverine
