In a way, you could look at Dan Didio as someone who thought that it was a mistake to replace Hal Jordan with Kylo Rayner… but NOT to do it the way Emerald Twilight had done it, and as someone who was arrogant enough to think he could do stuff like that all over the DCU at the same time.
Arguably, Emerald Twilight was far and away the worst of the 90’s mishandling of major, Big 7 properties… but I’d also argue it still showed more finesse, patience, and gravitas than Didio would allow writers to have under his reign.
And that finesse, patience, and gravitas was why so much fo the rest of the 90’s was actually covered in pretty legit and high quality work - even the early 90’s stuff. The editorial staff back then had higher standards for execution than they did their right to micromanage things, and I always look back at the 90’s as having sort of cordoned off most of the over-the-top excesses elsewhere.
