First, it's the central planning that's become de rigueur in both companies. As in, "Congratulations That's a great story you're telling there. But you've got to work this huge cosmic event into it somehow."
Common sense should tell anyone that that practice produces poor stories.
The second factor is the diversity imperative. How many problems has this caused for DC and Marvel? It would be a huge task even to think of them all and list them. The financial damage from it would be hard to overestimate.
I think the diversity imperative has been sort of like Hillary Clinton. As in, it was unavoidable. It had to happen. And its failure was also unavoidable. It had to happen. The question is, are the people who pushed the diversity imperative and the people who pushed Hillary Clinton going to move on now? I don't think either group will readily do that.
