Thor is not a woman! Captain America’s best friend and
long-time partner might change his costume to reflect his regard for Steve, but
Sam is his own man (and would not cede his iconic identity over to do so)!
Everyone in the Marvel Universe is NOT a member of the Avengers or the X-Men or
the Fantastic Four (blending them all together only masks this conceit)!
Captain Marvel died and Carol Danvers IS the new Captain Marvel (and although
that was a long time in coming, Kelly Sue DeConnick did not create either
version)! There are not a half dozen Spider-Men; or Women! Sidekicks and love
interests aren’t potential replacements for their super-powered pals and lovers
(doing this undermines the core concept and shows that the writer has run out
of ideas of their own)! The Falcon, The Black Panther, Shang Chi, Blade, Storm,
Bishop ( …… well seriously, the list of available non-caucasian heroes and characters
goes on and on), so changing all of the blond & blue-eyed characters into
an ethnic version seems pointless (unless you have a point on the top of your
head)? Those massive cinematic versions rolling out successfully time and again
based upon the recognized iconic versions scoff at the ridiculous print
versions that try so hard to be something different? Hey editors and creators,
hundreds of millions of movie ticket patrons might want to read the adventures
of their heroes, maybe you should stop dicking around with your stupid bullshit
and check your egos??

Amen, Chuck! Most egregious of all is turning Captain America into a HYDRA agent.
