maybe i'm still kind of in the supernatural fandom but it could be worse. i could still be in the hamilton fandom.

any 2099 retelling that’s stuffed to burst with uninteresting clones of modern characters marketable new superheroes is doomed to fail from the start because one of the keystones for the whole premise of the original 2099 imprint was that this world doesn’t have any vigilantes after the swift and brutal end to the “normal” contemporary world decades ago.
in earlier books especially, one of the most interesting concepts that the 2099 books tackled was that of people diametric to their modern counterparts but still choosing to fight for societal change whilst living up to the mantle of a long-dead idol. obviously, a good number of the books... weren’t able to really pull that off, in the end, but. the books that did, did it real damn well.
nowadays, it seems like every attempted reboot of marvel 2099 is made solely for the purpose of introducing as many New Characters as possible, instead of trying to further explore or flesh out the world we were given in the original imprint. as a result, they overwhelmingly end up feeling flat, rushed, and undercooked, and people inevitably forget about them within a month or two. hell, when spider-man 2099 got two whole volumes in the present (ca. the mid 2010s), he spent almost none of it actually in the year 2099. spider-man 2099, and they didn’t even let him exist in his own setting. it’s disappointing at best and enough to make me want to rip my fucking hair out at worst.
