So I wanted to see about some characters people's views have changed on for one reason or another. Could be you didnt like the growth or you just out grew them or whatever. Can be comics, movies, what ever.
I have a couple. The biggest for me is Batman. I used to love reading him. of course most of what I read was from the 60's or 70's. back when Superman was his best pal, he cared about Robin, and treated the Metal Men as crime fighting equals. (yes even Tin) But I havnt enjoyed too much of the modern stuff. Where Bruce is a jerk and batman can do everything including punk out guys like Green Lantern and Superman.
Another for me that I used to enjoy but do not anymore is Doctor Strange. I can handle him in guest roles and I loved the movie. But when I read his solo stuff I get more bored then anything. I used to love reading him. But now struggle through it.
As for things that changed for the better?
I used to hate reading the Silver age Dc. Didnt mind Marvel. But I avoided Dc at all costs. Now Silver Ager Dc is like one of my favorite ears of comics. I just love all the goofiness and cheese. I think this is because when I was in prison my bunkmate who was a huge comic book fan had some Showcase presents Black and White books with the 60's and 70's reprints. He let me read them and they were a great escape for me.
So what are some characters from any media that your have changed on and why?
