Critics exist in a realm of retroactive safety. It's easy to analyze, to pick to poke fun and bring down. They don't have to deal with the struggles that went into make things. They don't have to struggle with the actors. The budgets and time tables. The sets the effects and any other limitations. They don't have the drawbacks that come from outside meddling and demands from investors. All a critic needs to do is sit there and watch for however long the subject lasts for. Then they take a little more time, mull over their thoughts and pass judgement before moving on and never looking back. Does this invalidate their critique? No. At least not if it's genuinely insightful and made with though and care but creators and critiques are very different and in many ways don't always cooperate.

I often think about this too. Comics are an interesting thing. I'd hesitate to call them disposable, but I think I understand what you mean. They were something meant to be bought with milk money and read month to month. Reading comics was part of our routine. Every time a new issue of Spider-man came out I'd stop on my way home from school to read and get it. It may have been a good issue it may have been a dud but the experience of reading the issue every time was the fun part. It was something to talk about with fellow fans. It was something to look forward to when there was a big cliffhanger. We look back at a lot of events and bullshit now with praise or disdain but we're so removed from the hype that made them that it's hard to really get the same experience retroactively. I think a lot of comics still generally hold up very well but it's not the same reading experience if you read a dozen issues in one go. It's not a bad one, especially if the comic is still good, but it's not the same thing by any metric. There's no, anticipation, you don't get the same digestion when you can read the next issue or conclusion to a story in the same day. Having that time between issues really gave you an added sense of excitement.
