A great video about the negatives of a potential reboot by The Whole Shebang on YouTube
I actually agree with a lot of the things said in the video. Personally, I don't think that we should get a new Iron Man or Captain America just for the sake of those characters existing alongside the new characters. I also think that keeping Sam, the New Avengers, and the Avengers around alongside these new characters would be great.

Not even sure what we can discuss.
They keep refering to "new characters". Who's that? Most of these characters have been around for years at this point, and they even point out Sam's became Captain America 6 years ago. This is a character that's talked about a lot in this video, but what kind of future do you think Sam has? Mackie is 47, said he's done with the role at 50. Even if he was joking, he's not playing the character for another 10 years. If you don't recast Mackie soon, when are you going to? Wanna pass the shield to someone else?
And these newer characters haven't been successful. You can't expect Marvel to keep trotting them out.
Feige originally wanted to do the evergreen approach for these characters, and he compared Iron Man to James Bond. Then he changed his mind and was okay with killing off Iron Man. And now he's changed his mind again, and wants to use Tony Stark again. This is the best approach.
Fans get selfish, and they tend to only consider their own feelings. You don't want future kids to have their own Iron Man movie? Imagine if we never had another Batman after Adam West or Michael Keaton.
Rebooting makes sense. And we can debate what type of reboot works best, whether hard or soft. If you don't do it after Secret Wars, are you gonna do it in 2035? 2040?
