It's not one or the other, both of those things happened.

and I agree with this however do you think a 12 year old knows that comics are horrible?
would a 14 year old read any of Tom King's Batman and say "why is batman such a fag"?

actually- 14 year olds would probably pick that up

He still can be redeemed though, he just needs a refocusing for this era
>Comic books (Not to mention capeshit) will die out within your lifetime
As in physical books like floppies, yes. Graphic novels will continue to sell, whether or not they'll be serialized is something that idk.
>You will never be a successful comic or cartoon creator
I'm an EP on an upcoming Netflix cartoon so I'm not going to write this one off 100% yet

Comics were pretty much shit before I was even old enough to buy them
I was six years old when Mark Gruenwald died and Rob Liefeld took over Captain America

Did 6 year old you know they were shit or were they shit in retrospect? I ask that wanting a answer btw
In retrospect, I realize that the King Kong Bundy attack that set up the main event for Wrestlemania II wasn't that great. However, as a 7 year old, my world was SHOOK and I thought it was amazing

Anon, assuming you are at least 12 years older than 12, think back to the comics you enjoyed when you were that age. The ones people sneer at now, but you were too young to know any better, and you still like even if you don't admit to it. Now can you imagine your 12 year old self enjoying King's depressed Batman, Hickman's cuck orgy X-Men, or anything by Bendis or Aaron? And those are the A-list talents of today. I don't know who their target audience is, but it's not 12-14 year olds.

Anons think comics used to be better because retrospect allows them to only consume the great and ignore the mediocre and bad. Most comics have always been shit, and there's still good stuff being released at the same rate it always has.

this is actually a good point
I was answering this in my head and I realized that I was a pretty stupid 12 year old....I didn't question how absurd the Punisher becoming a black man (without the assistance of magic or anything "woo woo" involved)so yeah I was that kid

Of those, 12-14 year old me could've initially enjoyed Aaron's Avengers (if I had never read an Avengers or She-Hulk comic before it) and Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man. Everything else you listed I don't think young me would've cared for.

Somewhat? I grew up on 60's and 70's comics, so when I started picking up new issues I had no interest in all the X-Men, Punisher, Ghost Rider stuff that was so popular. The modern stuff wasn't really cool to me and I always wished I lived in the 80's. I had this sort of fantasy view of the 80's being some perfect time for comics though I hadn't actually read much from that era.

I loved Spider-Man, Hulk, and Fantastic Four, though. This in spite of Spider-Man being legendarily shit at the time and FF being unbelievably boring, but Hulk still holds up.

>Comic books (Not to mention capeshit) will die out within your lifetime
Covid has forced the comics industry into a change or die period, but even if comic books did die out, superheroes are too ingrained into popular culture and would continue to survive in cartoons, movies, games and toys. Even if the movie bubble finally bursts and we aren't getting 5+ big budget cape movies per year, at worst the decline will be like Westerns, where the genre isn't as popular as it once was, but they still get made.

>Harley Quinn will continue to be popular as a character
Yes, but not as popular as she was in recent years unless they massively course-correct. They fundamentally misread her appeal and her movie bombed as a result, a lot of the people who were crazy about her in 2016 have moved on. The comics will continue to do their own thing, but if they want to salvage Harley's mainstream popularity, expect other versions to return to her being Joker's girlfriend.

>Webcomics and web animations are the wave of the future
The successful webcomics are the replacement for newspaper comic strips, not comic books.
Streaming is the future of television, so web animation is technically the future of cartoons, but it's hard to say what the future of cartoons is going to look like.

>You will never be a successful comic or cartoon creator
Most of aren't even trying to do that though.

Superhero comics are better now than they were in the 80s and 90s but worse than they were in the 00s. The 00s was a golden age of super hero story telling.
