You don't want retroactive changes done to the origins (i.e. instead of meeting in World War War Reed and Ben met in Desert Storm), no, you want the origins to take place NOW, ignore everything that took place between the origin and today and start from scratch.

You use the 'that's the way it happened before Crisis' defense, you use the 'the characters origins have been retold a hundred times, why not again?', excuse.

You claim to want fresh takes on the stories yet you use outdated, 40 year old story techniques to justify the changes you claim you want.

Do you see the irony?

......

They (you) think that comic books are meant to be repetitive and redo the same things over and over again, which is why you have no problem with projects like Birthright, while the idea of actually telling NEW stories scares you...
