New 52 good for the far future?

Friendly blog. my opinion only don't trash talk what so ever

As far as I know so many people have been up and down with the dc reboot: the new 52.Some fans are disappointed because some of their favorites are missing, some because titles they liked are getting canceled, bad story lines etc......But if you notice this new 52 original purpose was to gain new reader even if it meant the loss of old readers.Take marvel for an example some of the characters have really started way way way way back in the day so if i am a comic book fan i would be confused if i wanted to read Thor for example as i would have to check his history,background,other things.but since the start of the new 52 each character given his own title was given an issue to explain his origin.So it raises the question if marvel is dominating now what after 10 to 15 years or more dc or any other company will be triumphant.

Main Reasons

1)New Reader friendly titles: New reader friendly existing block buster characters.Let me explain to you what I mean;if marvel company wants new readers to attract new readers it should maybe create new characters/titles/series or alter its already big characters to adopt with new readers but it may not appeal to them and before you say it I know new 52 also has unlike changes but the advantage here is that it already started back in 2011 so it has took its time to understand what needs to be fixed/tweaked/modeled to old or new fans to be on the middle of the rope.

2)Marketing Strategy: I may be alone on this but haven't you noticed that dc has focused quite a bit on making animated movies.you may ask yourself why?well here is my thought: It is because they want to attract young kid age audience so when they grow they will be reading the comics of the films they saw.(My cousin saw the justice league:Doom film and just started getting interested in it and just started reading my Dc Comics as he saw in the film and iron man too because of its animated film ) So maybe you would say that when he grows old he will change his mind but he is already grown on this so he might take and/or drop some comics but he wont for the ones like justice league and characters related in it.So do you get my point?(hopefully).

3)Origins Exploration:As I mentioned earlier it would be tough for new readers to discover or be familiar or even remember a 20 year old history of a character.I am one of the biggest fans of thor which i just started reading lately in which i had a rough time implanting all of the history i could remember of his to understand the series(Thor:God of Thunder which is actually very annoying)and i remember last month when i wanted to try X-men but got so confused it is really very confusing now even more with it separating/branching into different titles:Uncanny X-men,All New X-men,Uncanny X-Force which i just simply don't have the time nor the money to read all of them to understand it.The Problem is that when marvel releases big events like age of ultron sometimes to understand you just have to read other titles related,and the new 52 has a good thing is that it trys to avoid that thing look at the upcoming trinity war for example it was clearly said that there is almost no need to buy the other JL books to get it.

Agree or not? give me your honest thoughts not just cause you a dc or marvel fan opinion thing.

Or could it just be that marvel will utilize its new Marvel Now and will release stunning first new titles and continue with its series but wont be able to use its big guns such as hulk,spidey,X titles etc... or is it bound to do a full reboot to cope with the next coming years give me you thoughts and i will read them all and reply if I can thanks everybody.
