People want authentic characters and compelling stories. It's really that simple. The American comic books injuries are entirely self induced. No one cares about the current state of Captain America if he's just going to be retconned in the next run.

"Woke" comic writers are usually lazy / bad at writing / pandering to a crowd that doesn't buy comics. These writers make literal propaganda, probably without even realizing it. Their stories give no food for though, have no overall thesis. They usually write 1 dimensional characters that have zero depth or thought put into them. This goes for the protagonists and the antagonists (they're evil becuase they're racist!!). It comes off as childish and just plain boring to read in most cases. And if it's paired with mid art good luck selling any copies.

Alan Moore wrote watchmen to be an interesting and compelling story. Rorschach was a right wing, conspiracy theorist, homophobe that could only see the world in black and white. He wasn't a traditional "good guy" but Moore still gave him virtuous qualities, he was the only character that was willing to die for their convictions.


>tldr
People just want authentic stories with real stakes. People want well rounded and thought out characters instead of walking mouth pieces for the writers shitty opinions.
