Continuity: A: uninterrupted connection, succession, or union b : uninterrupted duration or continuation especially without essential change
Remember when comics kept true to that word? These days nothing much is cannon; Powers, pasts, family and friends all change faster than a Las Vegas stripper. When I was a kid, Heroes never died, Villains never won. costumes stayed the same.
Today Heroes die, the bad guys win, villains become heroes and Heroes become villains, Sometimes that works (Rogue, Hawkeye, Hell any number of Avengers) The Bad guy turning into a good guy thing can sometimes backfire i.e. Magneto: Bad guy, Good guy, Bad guy, Good guy back and forth, dude s#it or get off the fence.
Another thing that gets me: Mind f%cks, a few good examples: Ronin (New avengers) is at first a guy then the mask comes off and it's a lady (Echo from Daredevil) now it's someone else. I think either it's Aunt May or Hawkeye, in realistic thinking it should be Hawkeye. 1. he's back from the dead. 2. Someone else took his name and 3. He's gotta be somewhere. But knowing marvel it'll be Aunt May.
Being back from the dead is probably going to be my next post, untill then -- Green eyed Dragon
