Anonymous asked: There's a fetishism going on at Marvel for the writer's own personal nostalgia and nothing else. Shang-Chi, Weirdworld, Devil Dinosaur. There's nothing inherently wrong with this but the problem is it is very specific that most the writer's cut-off point is before 1980. Where are the similar pushes for 80s or 90s stuff? I've found Marvel are mostly been this way for far too long. It's like those years did not count towards continuity.

As you say, you’re talking about the emotional attachment of our creators and editors, so the stuff that resonates the most with them is what they’re going to be most interested in. But that said, I think we’ve got different guys pulling from every conceivable era of Marvel history at this point, the 90s included.
X-Men 92!
Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars!
Deadpool #6 is our first Deadpool 2099 issue!
Remender on UNCANNY X-FORCE and Slott on SPIDER-MAN are frankly packed full of 90s stuff and reworkings thereof.

Yeah, the latter has been - for me and James, at least - a near-constant stream of going “My god, we didn’t think anyone else cared about ‘90s Spider-Man stuff but us!”
