now obviously, i'm using hyperbole by saying this is the one reason that comics got worse. but overuse of digital gradients is prominent today and looks bad 90% of the time. in addition to that it's just the disrespect for a classic, the disregard for detail and
restraint and careful choices, the need to flatten something original and distinctive to fit in with what's "modern", and lastly the fact that the only reason this was done at all was to squeeze more money out of a comic that wasn't even that old and did not need to be republished in a shiny all-new edition, let alone "retouched"
