The fundamental reason high-budget American comic adaptations would fail is that they lack a self-sustaining financial model. Unlike anime, which relies on a massive domestic foundation, American comics are currently struggling to succeed even within their own medium. If an anime fails to gain traction in Japan, the entire production would collapse; international popularity is often just a secondary bonus, not a survival strategy.It is difficult to justify a massive investment in an animated series when the source material itself isn't a dominant revenue generator. For these franchises to truly thrive, publishers like Marvel, DC, and Image should focus on gaining a foothold in Japan. By licensing their characters to a mangaka/Japanese writer, they could utilize the local market's infrastructure to build the momentum necessary for a truly successful high-budget adaptation

I guess if you just want everything in the world burned down it's a good idea.
