It happened 10 years earlier and it limits him today. I think that's excessive and unnecessary. What if there isn't a Crisis in 50 years? More and more ideas would become undoable because of old stuff.
This is just sad.

So you're saying that between having X number of stories that tell one continous story you would rather have 10 stories (an example) told over and over again?

Think about it:

Writer A tells story 1, then 6 years later Writer D wants to retell story 1 HIS way. Should he be allowed to do that or be told 'you can't do it, someone else already did it before you came along, think of something original instead of repeating what someone else did before'.

I rather have an unlimited number of stories than a limited number of ones by writers who can't come up with anything original and instead choose to imitate what others have done before...
