Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 9603395" data-attributes="member: 907">I may have misread your "You should tell each story as if it is an entirely new story." I strongly believe that connected stories should be part of the same continuity. If Fisk is acting one way in Daredevil, he should act more or less the same way in Hawkeye, or at least have an explanation of the changes.That said, I'm OK with massaging continuity in response to real-world changes – moreso in comics than in film, because of the sliding timescale comics (at least Marvel) work with. For example, in the comics Tony Stark originally got captured in Vietnam, and this has later been retconned as an unspecified South-East Asian country, Afghanistan, and now the fictional country of Siancong (where Frank Castle and Ben Grimm also served, though in unrelated roles). That makes sense, because the Vietnam War was 50 years ago, the specifics of the war aren't vital to his character, and I don't believe he'd had a "rebirth" event (the way Magneto was regressed to childhood and later re-aged to the prime of his life). I'd be much less inclined to accept Magneto's connection to the Holocaust being removed from the comics, as that is such a huge part of his motivation.</blockquote>
