@wowlock: My point is that people are complaining that they're changing characters and saying why don't they just make original characters. The answer is they have but nobody wants to buy a book about Amadeus cho, even though he would bring more diversity to the roster. Same with falcon. These characters are original but since nobody would give them a shot marvel is doing something that answer all these problems. Replace an iconic character with an already established character. Falcon, Jane foster, and Amadeus cho were already established but they can't hold a title on their own but they can bring new stories and something different to the table.
Thing is , diversity is not the concern of a consumer...a good book is. when you force diversity like that to appease loud-mouths who can't see NUANCE of things...you will make it look cheap, like this.
You cannot change something drastically to something arguably worse and say ''it is for diversity , now you should it enjoy it more ! ''. Sure it maybe a 'noble' goal but people don't really read these books to confirm ''Oh such a diverse book ! ''.
It will be seen as a publicity stunt and nothing more. And I don't respect such decisions at the cost of great characters...It both hurts the replacement and the original. Sam Wilson is Captain America now but what would be the reaction in the future where because of some crazy reason, Marvel decided to make Captain America , Captain Mexico ! Because diversity ! See how deep the rabbit hole goes ?
Long story short, you cannot force people to like a certain character or the forced diversity that is now happening in certain books. There will be backlash and they will be validated too since the only logical explaination the changes have are bad ones that people don't want.
Remember when people said ''Hulk is here '' everyone would dread ? Man he will be more of a joke than Deadpool now...and Deadpool has his reasons to be a joke....But Hulk ?! Come on man...
Frankly, in a comic world like Marvel...Normal is not something I expect people to focus on. I mean after Secret Wars...normal kinda lost its meaning that premise kinda goes '' ...ok. ''
So from what I understand the Thanos in this book is the 616 Thanos that survived the death of everything with the rest of the Cabal. Based on that assumption I have one question; since when is Thanos on a first name basis with Ben Grimm or any earth based super hero for that matter?
Since his whole universe is destroyed and he has to make do with this 'battleworld' until he conquers it :D
