Reminder that the original copyright term was 14 years, with a single 14-year extension.

If this were still the norm, it would feel crazy that blockbuster movie studios are still recycling comic book characters from the 1950s.

If copyright was shorter blockbuster movies could still recycle comic book characters from the 50s. It just means that any filmmaker could do it rather than just who can afford to pay Marvel/DC

Agreed.
