If marvel needs to create an entire new lineup of comic series just to sort out all of the convoluted storylines essentially proves my point. Through various forms of media I am vaguely familiar with most of the major super heros and the dynamics that make them appealing. I just don't think that they've been handled very well. Even the best property can die a quick death in incompetant hands. Does anyone here remember what happened to Family Guy and Futurama when they originally aired on fox? Because of the mismangement the overall appeal of comics has diminished. American Comics tend to be very unfriendly to outsiders and in some cases they can be down right intimidating.

Remember when Superman died. It was tragic, every five year old across the nation dried their tears as the man of steel was laid to rest. Killing off superman may have been drastic but it created a sense of closure. No superman couldn't have just died off peacefully. There had to be more money to be squezed from his corpse there just had to be more money. Then there was the rebirth of superman where there was a superboy, a robot superman, and a cyborg superman. This followed with a confusing rebirth of Superman when Superman should have just been left alone.

What I like about animes and mangas is that they generally follow a linear story progression. There is a beginning and an end. The end my come after thirteen episodes or the end may come after 300 episodes but then end is still there. The American comics seem just to twist around and interwine like some sort of demonic pretzel with no end. If a character dies they can just be brought back through some sort of loophole like an alternate dimensional eclipse. Yes I know you can say the same for anime and manga by bringing up the dragon balls, but the dragon balls remained a constant. In American comics there always seems to be some sort of thing that pulled out of the creators ass to bring back deceased characters.

To further illistrate my point I will create my own parrallel universe in which Naruto was managed by Marvel. First we would have the core naruto series. That's not enough though. We can't post a profit for the final quarter with only one series. There needs to be spin offs involving other characters. So in addition to naruto we also have a side series focusing on Sakura and Ino as they team up to keep the highways of the naruto world safe from villinous bandits and marauders. There's also another spin off following shino where we learn that he's actually an alien from another dimension sent to moniter the naruto world but for what reason? All of the answers are revealed in Naruto xl as we see a younger naruto and watch his trials and tribulations in the ninja academy.

But wait!! Thats not enough. We also need to have Naruto Apocolypse, where all of the what if senarios are explored. What if Orchimaru defeated the Third Hokage and destroyed the Leaf village. What if Tsunande was killed before she could become Hokage. What if Naruto had lost his fight against Neji? From these series will come several alternate universe spin offs where we follow the naruto villains to see what they do after defeating the main characters mentioned before in the what if senarios. Thats not all we also need to have several animated and life action spin offs that throw out all the conventions that have been established before. And then when no one knows what the hell is going on comes the release of Naruto DXLX. A retelling of the classic naruto tale but with new costumes, character interactions. Now Suske loves Sakura but she loves naruto. Oh the drama, oh the suspense, oh the money that is being reaped from the legal prostituition of a beloved intellectual property.
