WHen a new continuity is done well it almost rewrites on the public consciousness. Alan Moore did a take on this when he took over Supreme for Rob Liefeld back in the late 90s and completely reinvented the character causing Liefeld's universe to "reboot" to reflect those changes in the character. The Timmverse was so well handled that even the comics set there were often the better comics from DC in the time period.It's all based on your first exposure to a character or concept. Transformers for example, for me, was the OG G1 series. I was one of the "Trukk, not Munky" people but now I dig the Beast Wars designs and have quite a few but I know people who are die hard Unicron Trilogy and Prime Trilogy fans because that's what was on when they were the target audience. I wasn't an FR fan until 3e. To me 3e is the best FR but I recognize that the OGB is the best published version and not just because it was first. It is the most accessible and well written. Some people it's 2e era. But it's that exposure. For new fans it's Sword Coast. For new 5e fans... it's not really any defined setting. It's just the game.</blockquote>
