Part 5/7:
The fanbase is sharply divided on the issue of representation within the Marvel universe. While many acknowledge the importance of diverse characters, the execution of their stories has come under fire for being “forced” or lacking organic development. The shift from beloved original characters to newer versions reflecting a more diverse demographic has raised voices across social media platforms.
Critics of this trend claim that the essence and originality of characters are lost when legacy heroes are replaced without adequate buildup or respect for their predecessors. The balance between progression and tradition continues to polarize audiences, inevitably leading to a confrontation between long-time fans and newer audiences.
