Honestly, the changing of the cast to being more diverse isn’t really the problem. They’ve changed who X hero is several times, and while, I do get the argument of “People like/want Peter Parker, not random black kid”. They won’t replace him forever because it’s comics and nothing is forever.
What is the issue is them falling over themselves to push agendas which lead to these decisions and having people who clearly can’t handle the material writing these comics.
Gender/race “swapping” heroes doesn’t bother me all that much. It’s when they make monsters like Riri Williams, or [unsolicited opinions on Israel].
And on the other end of things they also made Captain America a Nazi.
I think the real issue is that they’re comics aren’t doing well so they’re pandering as hard as possible in order to bring in new readers but it’s not working because the group they were pandering too really wasn’t interested in buying comics.
It also doesn’t help that I think they’re still not putting out comics for some of the fox/sony-owned franchises either?

nexovo said: I remember seeing someone argue how the main reason they swapped out the comics stuff so much was so they could test ideas for future movies, cuz the actors are inevitably going to retire and need replacing. Does make a fair amount of sense.
