I know this is late, but do you know about the Spider-Man clone story? It was "revealed" that peter parker was a clone from the beginning, shitting on decades of cannon. I can't even go into the whole story or my mouth will foam blood, but marvel stood it's ground on the whole clone thing, sales plummeted and fans left in droves forcing marvel to cry "just kidding!" The most memorable thing that happened was "real Spider-Man" fighting crime in a fucking hoodie. It costs 10x more money to get a new customer than to keep a current one meaning for every one fanboy crying foul, marvel has to use 10x the money to replace a lost sale. It's not interesting or innovative writing, it's "let's shit on our core fan's heads and see how much attention we can get." If you still think that over 70 years of cannon will keep a company from shitting on everything, all I have to say is New Coke.
