How do you feel about Robbie Reyes?

So it's nothing new that non-comic readers don't always like when a character they don't know much about shows up, but do you think some of the heat Robbie's getting lately is unnecessary? Or do you think it's justified? For those who don't know, Robbie Reyes is the new Ghost Rider who is going to appear on Agents of Shield.

A majority of the complaints I've seen against Reyes is that

-He's not Johnny Blaze

-He drives a charger instead of riding a motorcycle

-He's not a spirit of vengeance

-His skull "looks bad"

Reyes is new yes, but he's not that bad imo. His rider is suppose to be different because he was designed to be different. There's nothing to say that Blaze won't show up later in Netflix or later on in regards to Robbie..He did show up in his book after all when Blaze heard word of a new rider in town. He helped Robbie learn to control his powers and gave Eli the Penance Stare.

Though yes..Things do get complicated as you see Blaze point out that Reyes isn't a true Ghost Rider. For me that felt like a neat twist, for once we have a Ghost Rider who's actually bonded to an evil spirit. What gets me is that some are saying Robbie is Marvel's political correctness at work again. I'd have to disagree, Robbie seems like one of the few diverse characters who was made that can actually be seen as their own character..Not a character designed for whatever reason Marvel seems to do nowadays. IMO the only thing that Robbie needs work on was his backstory as his story didn't really get interesting until the last 3-4 issues imo, however I bet the general audience will like Reyes once they see what he can do..Besides, not all Ghost Riders ride motorcycles

Cringe level increased.

• Would have without a shadow of a doubt unequivocally(Kicking rocks in anger) prefered Blaze..
• But i can still dig the Robbie Reyes version being used for Agents of Shield.
• And like you said maybe well see Blaze as the main Rider on the Netflix show.

Not interested in him in the least.

Indifferent.

When i first heard about him i was cringing pretty hard but i actually really enjoyed it as well as Robbie and his supporting cast.

Id love it if somewhere along the line he could be freed from Eli (who is a scary mother f$%&r) and become an actual Spirit Of Vengeance.

I'd like to hear why some aren't interested..Is there a reason that's not listed? Because "He's not Johnny Blaze" is a pretty vague reason to not give Robbie a chance

Isn't Ghost rider supposed to be an inhuman on AoS?

I'd sure hope not

I like him, but I also don't really care much about any previous incarnation of Ghost Rider or their established history .

I want to like him, but he hasn't reached iconic status yet.

@jumpstart55: Yea I don't see why there can't be more than one

Yea and maybe they'll use Dan Ketch in the movies..lmao

Eh, the Ghost Rider movies kinda ruined GR as a whole for me, so never really got into them... was tempted to give Robbie a try, but never did...

He's a fresh, fun character.

@jumpstart55: We'll never see Ketch

Yea i know i was just kidding..lmao

Never liked him in the comics and the picture of him from AOS is so cringe worthy

no. thats Hellfire. Robbie is showing up there though.

@jumpstart55: that was obvious

Hoping it's a step in the right direction..Bringing Ghost Rider on board brings in one of their biggest heavy hitters that Marvel's not used yet if Blaze ever shows up
