[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8074877, member: 6701124"] How many game sessions would you consider a movie or episodes worth of screen time? And some of the characters certainly develop a lot. How much did Coulson and May develop? Are their at least three big reasons for needing resets in comic books? One is that character's appeal is in their development (like younger mutants or spider-man) and that at some point they've gone past that stage (they're the adults now and are getting married instead of doing teen angst). Is this like in D&D where campaigns stop some time between level 10 and 20 instead of continuing on (where an E6 type thing, or one with slower advancement like I remember in VtM could keep going). A second could be that they're looking for a big sales boost and to draw people in that have drifted over time whenever a story hits a lull? (The continual sets of new number 1s in comics, but no particular major change. The long time campaign has kind of stalled, so lets reboot it). A third could because one of the authors decided to have a formerly stable character develop to a dead end storytelling stage (after x00 issues of gradual armor improvements that don't really change the stories, Tony goes nanites, or after x00 issues of doing his thing Thor becomes powerful enough to put back together the moon)?
