Or maybe people just dont like poorly contrived changes to established charachters for the sake of some forced sense on inclusiveness when they could actualy make an original charachter.

Am I the only one who remembers Static Shock. That was a good one, in fact my favorite part was that it actually made an effort to be racially conscious. I want to see more stuff like that instead of Hand me Down Identity Mary sue self insert who is of X minority decent.

What this is here is some Fanfic.net Sonic OC level bull crap.

I literally know nothing about the new Iron Man because frankly I don't pay attention to new-age comics

But it's not like they said, "this is Tony Stark and has always been Tony Stark," it's just a new person taking up the moniker of "Iron Man". There have been multiple personalities behind every single big-name superhero to ever exist. There have been at least nine Batmans, at least six Supermans, twenty or so Spidermans, and so on and so forth. Why is this one such a terrible thing? Iron Man's race and gender really don't factor into his overall identity - yes, the Superhero Name is Iron Man, but it's not as though that really plays anything into his role as a superhero. Black Panther being white or Odin/Zeus being black would be stupid because their race factors into their being and position.

I just don't get why people are mad about a black chick wearing a robot suit. She could be a Mary Sue, but isn't that, like, 90% of comic book characters regardless?

TBH the retarded writing of comics in general like this are the reason why i'm not actually into them in the first place. TBH i'm just annoyed with the overall forced politicization of "nerd culture" in general when it clearly shouldn't be, like the whole shit when feminazis flipped a tit over that one batman cover. I cant even blink without ten thousand retarded articles on why X established character should be changed to a Transexual Latino Midget or some nonsense of the sort. With that kind of shit running rampant its not hard to see why this looks suspiciously like forced tokenization to appeal to that SJW crowd who in reality dont actually care about said character or even the medium...especialy when the character is such a marry sue.

Also, this kind of character replacement is acceptable.

When an established character gets a gender or race flip for no reason is when I get a testy. I'm all for inclusion, but write your own characters and make them interesting.
