Decompression
Taking away Thor speech
Ultimatizing/cinematizing 616
A general lack of continuity
Dimestore characterization (saying It is okay for spidey to do any dumb thing cause he screwed up once.

And not just marvel too with copout reboots (which I apply to omd as well)
Bland costume redesigns for the sake of appealing to modern audiences.



All these things and more that I see as pandering to new readers.
