Current Events > You think they'll ever reboot the MCU or is it a staple now like Star Wars?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why would they? The MCU is the most successful movie franchise in history, and does not show signs of slowing down any time soon.

Eventually, they're going to want to use Iron Man and Captain America again, so it'll definitely be rebooted down the line.

Of course they will, they'll milk it for all it's worth but once it starts to slow down you can guarantee a reboot.

I kinda wish the MCU was animated partly to avoid these issues

They can just use replacements of Iron Man and Cap though. There's no reason we specifically need Tony and Steve.

Comic books get rebooted all the time, so it makes sense within the lore of the MCU

remember when superheroes were only for nerds

DC does occasionally reboot, but Marvel not really. I mean there are plenty retcons and overhauls that can be considered as such, but officially everything that happened since the 40's comic books is counted as in-continuity.

Aren't they soft reboots though where they have an explanation like flash fucked up the timeline? Which would technically make it all thr same continuity

DC has never committed to a full, line-wide reboot of its main universe titles.

A couple of their heroes (famously Flash and Green Lantern) got rebooted, but those were entirely new characters.

When the original Crisis happened, Superman and Wonder Woman got completely rebooted. Batman just got a new origin story, but was otherwise untouched. New Teen Titans was super popular at the time and I don't think they did anything with it.

New 52 is probably the closest they came, but Batman was still basically the same damn thing, except they came up with some dumbass time compression and insisted that he went through like, 4 Robins in 5 years. (They changed Tim Drake so he was never "technically" a Robin in this continuity). Stuff like Swamp Thing and Animal Man were unaffected. Superman was in this weird limbo where he was technically rebooted, but we're just supposed to assume all the major beats in his mythology were largely the same. (The first issue of Swamp Thing has Superman referencing his own death). Problem was, the writer of the reboot origin in Action Comics, and the present day version in Superman, weren't really communicating with each other, causing weird inconsistencies.

Rebirth was funny because it was a "de-boot" focused on undoing as many changes from the New 52 as possible, the the point where Wonder Woman's Issue 0 was like "everything you read for the past 5 years was a fucking lie." And Superman was like "Well turns out New 52 isn't technically a reboot of the old continuity because the Post Crisis Superman kept on living in an alternate dimension, and he has a kid now, and he's here for some reason." But then they did a mini-story where his reality and his New 52 verion's reality fused and he has some weird amalgamated history now.

TL;DR, most of DC's reboots refuse to touch anything that's actually popular, leading to weird fuckery down the line.
