If your point is merely that we are getting a renewed emphasis on lore and don't have a lot of solid info, I agree with you. I got a different impression from your response to Saint. What's more, that's not what made the "golden age" reveals memorable to me, but that's strictly a subjective judgement.You keep focusing on the micro of it all. From 2012 - 2022, there was little to no effort to provide any sort of lore to give fans. Beginning last year, they started diving back into it and it seems even moreso this year. This is the first year since 2015 (I think?) we haven't had 1 house announced and May is halfway over.
I am very happy about the return of icons (regardless of backstory) and would argue that the post-Covid events have been, while not perfect, some of the strongest Universal has ever done.
PS: To Alison - I repeatedly acknowledged that Brian may have info that leads him to see the current campaign as a spiritual successor to the earlier one. Based on the teaser itself and the information that is available to us outsiders, disputing that this campaign evokes older ones is no more premature then asserting that it does so. In any case, as the above indicates, I now see the point Brian was making and don't disagree with it.
