I think it's also the nature of what's happening in comics. Let's look at some of the 'usual', 'classic' threads.
We've all done Superman vs Thor vs Hulk to death.
Except if I were to open that thread now, it would be a Superman with both pre and post 52 feats, vs Jane, or vs Amadeus Cho.
Wolverine vs Batman? Erm, Laura Kinney vs a guy who has faced WW and lived?
GL vs Surfer? At the moment, we have Hal outrunning OB, and Surfer struggling to cross the universe or whatever.
Flash vs.....yeah. Quicksilver? Runner hasn't had any new feats at all.
Lex vs IM? It'll be Riri Williams vs a guy who packs a frigging Motherbox.
There are one or two Marvel's who have packed on more battleboard feats, sure. Black Panther springs to mind. But then his usual opponents (Deathstroke fights Superman! Batman outpsces HV!) Just makes it difficult for some posters to accept, or to debate against.
And so it looks like they're being run off. Even Rulk, a relatively new Marvel character, gets downgraded.
