Depends, I personally prefer a canon to what happens with hero comics like Marvel and DC that have 20000 stories that contradict each other and they have to reboot everything in a 5 year cycle.

That's exactly how canon is done badly. Why in the end it never helps anything.

They try to stay consistent across dozens of series, each with several writers. Eventually it becomes more of a hindrance than help, as all canon does; And they restart to clean up the mess.

But if they didn't bother trying to keep a consistent canon to begin with. Instead, letting each writer tell their own story. They never have to wory about it. Each one can be self contained, and make changes as needed to tell the best version of their story.
