>>86670202 The thing is though, this is how Marvel shows a character love.
When Spiderman was living a nice, stable, married, uncomplicated life and running through the motions in terms of superheroing ...
sales nosedived.
Why? Because Pete was meant to be the hard-luck hero, the underdog. Anything else is boring.
Marvel's first fix was blindly trying to recapture the glory-days of teenaged Spiderman with an idiotic clone retcon, then again with an idiotic OMD retcon, all the while not understanding that it's the heroically met trials and tribulations of those past stories that fans responded to.
It wasn't until they turned Parker into Doc Ock that fans were excited again, a touch of tragic evil made things more dramatic. The threat to the status quo and the actual change to the status quo were progress in Spiderman's overall story. And fans cared about the Webhead again.
It's the same thing with Carol:
When you demand that Carol get her happy ending you are demanding that her stories no longer have any goals for her to strive toward.
When you demand that she be returned to the character she was in the past you are demanding that all her growth, all her hard-earned experience and past struggles be undone.
And when you demand that she become perfect and never again make mistakes you are asking that her human flaws, the very things that make a character unique, be erased.
Carol deserves better than that.
