Sadly, due to an awful editor, and some mediocre writers and talentless diversity hires the entire era crashed and burned immediately after Hickman left. Characters like those mentioned above, especially Moira, had to be handled with a bit of care and nuance, something absent in the skill sets of most of the writers who took over after Hickman left. Only Gillen was able to keep some of that nuance and character work (IMO).
