You are bored of many artists being in a similar region on the political spectrum? What does that even mean? Are you excited about the old white man leaning right cliché instead?

> You are bored of many artists being in a similar region on the political spectrum? Yes, there should be a bit more diversity in the type of stories/heroes/villains we're being presented with. The fact that US culture has two poles of thought makes for many unexplored avenues. Stories like Sandman or the Metabarons would have a hard time in being explored in modern US paradigms, since everything would need to be deformed to fit into boxes. At least that's my interpretation.

  Totally agree. Politics and ideology is ruining imagination and fantasy. It's a disaster that i hope is soon going to be over, so we can find poetry and dreams back.

    How does imagination and fantasy get ruined by politics? The commercial publication of entertainment material that was created using imagination and fantasy might be influenced by politics, but that is not the same. As for commercial success you need to be popular and certain behaviors are just not popular enough anymore (I assume this is what you refer to) There is still racist poetry out there and people still have dreams with inappropriate actions in them. I fail to see your point

  Wasn't there a Sandman series produced in the US 2002? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(TV_series)

    You mean 2022, right? Yes, it did appear, but not as an original work. To me the adaptation felt worsened by modern ideology. John Constantine was change to Johanna Constantine, a worse written character, while at the same time the comic actually had a great storyline with a Johanna Constantine, one of his ancestors. Honestly, I'm not sure if you're trying to understand why those like me see a decrease in quality and in idea diversity, or are simply arguing the opposite regardless of what we say.

  > Stories like ... the Metabarons would have a hard time in being explored in modern US paradigms According to the generally-agreed-upon historical record, Metabarons appeared in French a full decade before its US publication.
