I think I had an epiphany last night...I was re-reading the original Secret Wars series via TPB and realized I'd forgotten how different 80's Marvel was from even 70's Marvel, and how much I didn't care at all at back then. Wolverine was in his brown suit. Storm was sporting a mohawk. Spidey got his black costume. Hulk was smart, then gray, then a mob enforcer, and I loved every minute of it. Got me thinking...why am I so resistant to change now?
The entire Marvel Universe was only a little over 20 years old when Secret Wars came out in 1984, and it had already changed significantly. I remember how much I loved the new villains like Hobgoblin and Venom, and even the new Ghost Rider with Danny Ketch. That was 25 years ago!
I think it's time for me to stop thinking of everything old as good and everything new as bad, and just go along for the ride and enjoy what's out there.
