I remember the "new universe" Marvel did about 15 or so years back, where characters were supposed to exist in real time and age, go to school, change grades, etc. That was a total failure.
I look at Marvel and see Quesada flailing at anything he thinks might work. Case in point the "reworking" of Rawhide Kid and Captain America. It might sell some copies now, but it's just stunting and ultimately destructive to the core fan base.
