i actually think this'll be the case. ben eventually getting a good run, not the murder pete bit
i guess for me personally, i 've grown really fond of character arcs that make sense...there's a satisfaction i get from those that's hard to grip with continual retcons, resets and heel turns.
which i also get is the nature of the beast with long form story telling and superheroes. no shade on those who embrace the madness: it's a more fun way to be
there's also a window of interest for me that i think might have closed? i can't imagine checking in again in 2042 to see what nu new nouveau ben is up to...but never say never
