What does that even mean? Are you excited about the old white man leaning right cliché instead?
Yes, there should be a bit more diversity in the type of stories/heroes/villains we're being presented with. The fact that US culture has two poles of thought makes for many unexplored avenues. Stories like Sandman or the Metabarons would have a hard time in being explored in modern US paradigms, since everything would need to be deformed to fit into boxes. At least that's my interpretation.
To me the adaptation felt worsened by modern ideology. John Constantine was change to Johanna Constantine, a worse written character, while at the same time the comic actually had a great storyline with a Johanna Constantine, one of his ancestors.
Honestly, I'm not sure if you're trying to understand why those like me see a decrease in quality and in idea diversity, or are simply arguing the opposite regardless of what we say.
According to the generally-agreed-upon historical record, Metabarons appeared in French a full decade before its US publication.
I'm not bored, not in the least.
For the sake of discussion, tell us more about what exactly bores you.
You needn't agree with the author of the post, but the author appears to take an interest in history and current events, and he loves art and cares about ideas.
Art and ideas are distinguishing facets of human existence. Art and ideas are everywhere. History does repeat itself, but events cannot be boring to those who face them.
