I mean, that's the negative POV. It may simply be that she said goodbye to the character and has no interest in revisiting it again

It's the same effing thing over and over. Same with dinsey beating the dead corpse of Star Wars. Don't they have any new, different ideas? Or are they gonna make 5000000000000 movies about the same shit?

I mean, I feel the same way about character deaths. It's an overused trope. Let's have them quietly working in the background, like a capable spy would, eh? I think comics should have long ago embraced having their superheroes 'retire' by simply being background mentions from time to time, rather than have big dramatic deaths and torch passing.
