I fucking hate people that defend how copyright works, especially since so many of them are shitters that have never published anything successful in their life.
You shouldn't "need" someone's permission to write something related to their work or make an adaptation off of it. Of course, a part of the money made should go to them automatically. But permission? Fuck that, that's giving these companies an indefinite hold on properties for NO REASON.
While I'm not a comic book fan, one of the things I appreciate that medium is that different writers get to use the same characters in different ways and retell the same stories over and over. This is literally how oral traditions perfected certain stories and then left them behind for posterity in a written form.
If you support an authoritarian hold over copyright, unironically die. Like, I get having a minimum of like 10 years, but after that it should be available for everyone to use so long as you can pay the % due to the copyright holder.
