Why are modern creators and readers so quick to dismiss continuity?

It used to be (and still is?) the sole point of distinction between a "nerd" and a guy in Superman shirt: the first one has read and memorized the issue # of the first appearance of Rainbow Kryptonite & all of its effects on Supes or the 1st meeting between Superman and Umrial of Henn-Z, the second one just thinks the emblem looks cool.

Even the Marvel movies grossed their billions solely on the promise of continuity even if they rarely deliever. Contiuity is essentially experiences and relationships, and what the hell IS more important in what essentially is a soap opera with some badly drawn punching.

Because it's not anymore. A casual can download a couple of back issues of Batman from the silver age with minimal effort, skim them, and talk on a forum about the Batman of Zurr En Arrh and Kathy Kane like they've been a hardcore reader for 20 years.

It's not as bad as Brian Michael when he dismisses his own continuity.

Jesus Christ, stop getting so defensive. Just because I think one thing the artist drew looks ugly doesn't mean I'm bashing everything they've ever drawn in their career.

I guess cause its autistic as fuck? I still love continuity to death but making is a huge deal is pretty dumb. I do think a great author knows how to work around it to tell the story he wants to tell and shouldn't just ignore it.

That wasn't my point at all

Hell, if it's so easy to get hose issues there shouldn't be any bitching about continuity being a "burden" at all

Sorry I misunderstood.

On a business level, I'd imagine that it's a burden because both DC and Marvel seem to assume that any stories reliant on callbacks to 10+ year old books instantly lock out new readers (I don't think that's true though).
