April O’Neil is black now. Because screw your childhood memories.
In the comics, when Captain America died, the shield went to the next nearest super: Bucky Barnes. The Winter soldier then went on a quest for salvation. MCU: Nah, let’s give it to Sam Wilson. Whose super power is operating a jetpack, and trying to guilt people to “do better.” AYFKM?
Halo, the Series: We’re going to take the Big Damn Hero … and make him a side character for a large chunk of the series, making a random Asian woman the heroine. She makes Rico Tico look likeable.
Firestar, the alien princess, who is orange … nah, we’re going to make her black (in HBO Max’s Titans) and dress her like a hooker. WTF? They even managed to make a beautiful black actress look drab and dull!
Not even history is safe! Let’s make Henry VI’s wife black! (The Hollow Crown) Henry VIII’s wife Anne Boleyn? Black. Never mind that we have paintings showing them as white, and Boleyn is a redhead. Cleopatra was Greek … but NetFlix will make her black. Doctor Who will make Isaac Newton Asian— because white folk can’t contribute anything, right?
Marvel is doing its best to wipe out Peter Parker in favor of Miles Morales. I believe it was Eric July who referred to Miles as “Peter Darker.” Because they just re-skinned Peter, with similar backstory. And now, fans will like him, or else.
Any Victorian era were black folk are just jammed in at random to 1800s London.
