What are some examples of shit characters getting GOOD reboots? How often has this happened really?

Opinions on Chaykin's shadow are pretty mixed. Some still feel that he changed/updated TOO much.
>>
>>82440904
But The Shadow is not shit in anyway.

I can't think of many characters being redeemed by reboots... the 2003 He-Man cartoon was really good.
>>82442427
Dude, even Batman loves The Shadow.

You're both wrong, the Spider is better!
>>
>>82442682
Well, not post-COIE, sure... canon has always been a nebuous thing with The Shadow, anyway, especially in comics.

Still a nice moment, though.

>>82443096
There's not a single pulp character worth any actual merit besides Conan. Sure as fuck not The Shadow and definitely not any of his derivatives. The Shadow is only truly liked by either old people not yet entirely senile or literal hipster edgefags who watch Razorfist.

I think you're trying too hard with this staged argument.

cry more pulp faggot not everyone shares your opinions on 100 year old characters

Buzzphrase

using faggot as a buzzword
>not everyone shares your opinions on 100 year old characters
Where is the opinion on 100 year old characters? I just noted that it's the same one or two people trying too hard to make a fake "angry" argument over the Shadow and Batman again. You know, like
>Le Shadow is fedora character
>Le Batfags don't know their character is a ripoff
Even your response is cliche.

I'm glad you confirmed I was right with another cliche response.
>>
>>82446934
I'm glad you're a paranoid autist making up bizarre scenarios in your dumbfuck head.
>>
>>82447173
I'm glad you've only literally proven me right about your fake fights each time you respond.
>>
>>82447364
Nothing has been proven right because what you're saying literally only makes sense in your own head.
>>
>>82447700
Of course it makes sense in my head, it makes sense to everyone else except you.
>>
>>82447869

Not him but I have no idea what you're talking about. I made the fedora comment, and stand by what I said.

You know, quite a few early Batman stories were complete rip-offs of Shadow stories (and The Joker might've been both inspired by a Ted Tinsley's, and The Shadow Radio Story "The Laughing Corpse"), but outside of that, The Shadow's influence is neither here nor there. Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, Gardner Fox, and Bill Finger's love of trivia had a far greater impact on Batman than The Shadow did. Razor is a fucking casual who doesn't give a fuck about The Shadow outside of pissing batfags off.

Also, while the Shadow was undeniably popular, it's ludicrous to claim that The Shadow made more than Superman and saying that The Shadow was more popular in the fifties is ridiculous. The Shadow Magazine ceased publication in 1948, and the radio show finally kicked the bucket in 1954. Superman not only had a radio show that ran from 1940 to 1951, but a newspaper strip, two serials, and a fucking television show that started in 1952. The Shadow, meanwhile, didn't appear in media again until 1963 when Belmont Books started publishing Shadow paper-back novels.

Fucking Casuals, thinking they know shit.
