I don't think you understand the criticism

from a storytelling perspective, once you have crazy shit like pocket universes or hero cloning or characters who can create anything they can imagine, you have to account for that in every piece of media that builds from it in the future

I think you underestimate how much comics have deal with this stuff. 

If anything, is the multiverses stuff is most difficult to accept for many and tends to feel cheaper than cloning or people coming back from the death. That’s why DC made a event just to kill it off decades ago.

I don't know what you're trying to say, it's ok because comics do it? how does that counter the argument that general audiences get turned off by all this weird shit that often doesn't even try to have contrived explanations as to why existing in-universe solutions can't be used on the new problem of the week?

I mean, general audiences current reaction seems to be more positive than recent Marvel stuff, excluding the Thunderbolts*.  

I don’t particularly care about the shared universe stuff, so Im not concerned about longevity, but I don’t think the general audience cares that much about suspension of disbelief, the thing you are actually arguing rather than narrative, as long it doesn’t feel the drama has been invalidated (something the Multiverse stuff often gets wrong)

"oh comic books know how to deal with it," you mean the perpetually impenetrable and dying industry that couldn't even buoy itself on the back of massive cultural dominance from marvel movies? some of the biggest shared cultural events of all time, and yet the moment a normie says "gee what have I been missing all this time" and glances at one of the recent comic book stories for the first time, they run off in the other direction screaming?

More like there is actually good stories and story arcs that do what you complain about, rather than the health of the comic book industry, you could argue that the cape film genre is making the same mistakes and I will agree with that… I just disagree that stuff is poket dimensions or x character is too powerful.
