Was the vision still an android when he wasn't the original Human Torch with Wonder Man's personality overlayed onto it? Were all the stories where that origin was mentioned somehow completly overturned and invalidated?
How about X-men Hidden years. Was Orroro knowing about the X-men during her African RAin Goddess years really that out of line with anything? Did it make everything a lie?
Was the House of Thunder ruling a chunk of the Earth with a seemingly incestuous marriage between Mary and Billy to produce an heir more or less of a damaging blow to the characters than changing the vision? Was the eventual revelation that Billy Batson (who couldn't grow up ) was strangled by the Martian Manhunter who he thought was a dominatrix more or less subversive to the history of the character? I mean here we have a dynastic murder in a very seedy situation attributed to a pathetic Mr. Batson. THAT is pasted over Captain Marvel and you don't find that WORSE by orders of magnitude than merely deciding that a detail of the origin of the Vision(which itself was retconned from him simply having him being made by Ultron) was a misconcpetion that allows the original human torch to come back?
You think that a retelling of Peter's high school years with more modern dressings is as bad?
How about turing Barabra Jordan into a paraplegic for shock? How about turning Len Wein's Frankenstein-esque swamp thing character into one of a whole lineage of plant gods?
Or taking a fun whimsical British Captain Marvel knockoff and turing him into an amoral alien war machine given sentience who decides to kill his host and gets screwed over by an evil govenrment?
Feh.
Oh and Fyodor...you're supposed to sign up with your real name and not a favorite author or muppet or whatever.
