I think that they have done great things with Squirrel Girl, and Ms. Marvel as well. Note how popular those series are. Note how kid friendly.
The problem here is not unique to comics: Look at how many sequels, reboots, and adaptations are produced in movies: Nobody wants to take a chance on anything that does not have an established audience (they made a movie about emojis, for Christ's sake!), so very little new material gets made.
Fatigue is starting to set in. A lot of these adaptation films are flopping hard. I'm not suggesting that anybody cancel Batman, I'm saying that we have to cater to a younger audience as well in order to draw new readers. Maturity of content is an obstacle, gigantic continuity is an obstacle, and price is an obstacle. New, digitally distributed, kid friendly content would only help.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
