Part 6/8:
In a light-hearted segment, the hosts discussed various comic book adaptations and their historical successes. Covering topics from "Space Ghost" to classic literature adaptations, they gleefully shared memories of comic series launched in the heat of creativity.
The hosts drew attention to how nostalgia plays a critical role in the current landscape, where characters are being introduced almost haphazardly in an effort to create connective tissue between different IPs.
Gary pointed out the fatigue surrounding the rhetoric of “diversity” in storytelling. The general consensus among the moderators was that adaptability should be rooted in good storytelling rather than merely meeting a quota.
