Arguably Green Lantern if you count Abin Sur in the first issue kind of mirroring the set up, but if I had to think on what is CLOSE to what your saying it's probably Rick Jones deciding to take on the Bucky identity as cap sidekick.

So what was the first legacy in terms of how we think of it now, the original dies and the new one steps up

I read a history book on this and no…..because something like Barry Allen was completely new at the time for fans. The idea of a new reboot guy taking over meant they had no frame of reference and the first thought about this…..was Jay could come back.

Do you guys think there was a Jay Garrick fan that was mad about Barry Allen being The Flash back in 1956

The idea that a cancelled comic could come back was not really a thought as the time, once a comic was done it was done why bring back a failure? So when the new Flash worked why not bring back Jay for older fans?

I see indie animation discourse has reached the 90s comic discussions about creators not being good writers and only focus on art.

I understand this take to an extent but I also am careful promoting it because after doing the research trying to sum up decades of culture changes and business decisions to just the code doesn't show the full history and extent of what happened and why.

hot take: if the comics code hadn’t been created, superheroes wouldn’t have dominated the industry. the rules of the code made superheroes uniquely fit to survive. rules like “In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds”

Like keep in mind War comics were a thing and were not banned by the code so WHY did they go away? They were darker and had commentary too? Or westerns? They have their own reasons outside of the code being created and show how much America was changing decade to decade.

One of the reasons I try to be careful is that MANY horror comics will often be LIKE EC COMICS DIED AND THAT WAS THE END but in the 60's Creepy Magazine and Warren would be created and keep horror comics trucking over the decades. I'm not sure if many people know it existed.

For me a couple things Citizen Kane because I was so familiar with the parodies and references before I saw it in high school, Mad magazine because EVERY comic parody drew from them, and Twilight zone

No joke I had this experience watching an adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express. I was like "huh, this solution seems kinda cliche..." then I remembered that it's literally an Agatha Christie adaptation, where so many murder mystery cliches come from.

Lestat is definitely there, I would say the vampire from the various let the right one, and maybe Barnes’s colins from dark shadows

When I was a kid, this was my Luke Skywalker figure, and I HAD NO IDEA, that Star Wars fans were going nuts over these toys trying to buy up cases for collector value, and then when everyone had them and the market fucking crashed and now these toys are hated
Exalted Speed@Exalted_SpeedOct 24
I think sometimes people over react to this stuff and think THEY HATE THE FANBASE, but to the creators who were probably nerds in the trenches themselves for various things, this is the them venting about Pokemon scalpers who punched out a kid to get packs.

Myself I kind of like the Novelty of having BUFF Luke Skywalker as a reaction to what American toys are popular, like the He-man muscles never left us, and you could see it even in toys like Power Rangers.

I would not but if I had too, and wanted to be really fucked up the robot kept him alive and transferred his mind into a small doll body, forcing him to survive on his own and now this "doll man" is not sure if he wants his mom to find out.

Keep in mind these were guys who probably were dealing with various forms of the 90's comic speculator boom in comics, trading cards or the like, they could not imagine how MUCH worse it would get with people, or what the people are actually like but it was not good.
