You Swear You Want Originals… But Nostalgia Keeps Winning | UYNC S2 Ep15

You say you want original characters… but do you actually support them?This week on Up Your Nerd Cred, we’re digging into one of the biggest contradictions in fandom: everyone claims they’re tired of reboots, remakes, and multiverses—but when brand new characters show up, they rarely get the same attention, time, or support.From characters like Moon Girl and Naomi to Mosaic, Sideways, and Escapade, we take a look at what happens when comics actually do create original heroes—and why so many of them struggle to stick.We also break down:Why the early MCU was a much bigger gamble than people rememberHow nostalgia shapes what audiences actually show up forThe gap between what fans say they want and what they watch, read, and buyHow review bombing and media coverage impact new and different storiesAnd ultimately, we ask:Is the problem really a lack of originality—or the way we respond to it?🎧 Available on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and more📲 Follow us on Instagram: @UpYourNerdCredPod@ciracdavis@Amdiaz_art💬 Got a question you want us to tackle?
