One thing i do think that comics need to adapt to and recognize is the fact that comics have serious competition now in the form of anime and manga. Thats just something the casual audiences will be familiar with now, at least in passing, and forms a point of comparison. And its hard to judge comics favorably compared to manga when it comes to action and fights. With very few exceptions, most of which are DECADES old, comics action is extremely fucking stilted compared to manga action scenes. Its all super compressed, people are frozen in place like statues, with little sense of real movement because they are drawn in a perpetual state of flexing every muscle in their body like an anatomy model instead of, you know, *fighting*.

Now, to be clear, I am NOT saying "comics should draw in anime style". I don't want comics to be BE manga. I want comics to be AS GOOD AS manga. Raise their standards to what new audiences are just naturally going to be expecting from drawn media these days, instead of clinging to "well, it was good enough for 1960 so that means its good enough for 2030!"
