one reason why some of us fans get frustrated when people only praise the bad era is because it can sometimes reflect unconscious colourism, even when people don't realise it, many will say they simply prefer how he looked during that period, without recognising that part of that preference may be tied to the fact that he had a darker complexion before his vitiligo became more visible. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own preferences, but when his later appearances in the dangerous, history, and invincible eras are constantly dismissed, it's worth considering whether those preferences are being influenced by factors people aren't even aware of themselves.
