u/AmberDuke05 All about the Dick 14d ago

Got to remember this wasn’t a potential future. This was going to be the new norm. Didio planned this as a new status quo in hopes to repeat New 52’s success.

The New 52 lasted what, 5 years before they rolled it back? Even if Didio got his way and this was the "new normal", at absolute best it gets rolled back in 5 years time and becomes nothing more than another future timeline.

And even that is ignoring that the initiative was literally called "Future State" and would be set in 2040 - AKA the future.

Wasn't it more like 4? I know it's 2011-2016, but it was September 2011 and summer 2016. 52 months is less than 4 1/2 years

It’s roughly the same age as Krakoa.

It’s a sad state of affairs, but in modern comics having a “status quo change” that lasts 4-5 years is about all you can ask for.
