I’m sorry, but a story development that you do not care for is not an insult to writers like Gruenwald and Thomas–any more than their storylines were an insult to the writers that came before them. That’s the nature of a massive shared universe like the MU–every creator builds on the work that their predecessors did. And sometimes that means that characters change in a myriad of ways. None of that’s an insult to anybody, though–it’s simply storytelling. And you either like the stories or you don’t like the stories.
