Character Ownage

I wouldn't have a problem with that. Female characters have been underrepresented in comics for decades. This would be Marvel's attempt to fix that. At the end of the day who cares what gender a fictional character has. It in no way effects his/her overall personality. Juggernaut has no personality traits that require him to specifically be a man. In fact I think it'd be really empowering to have an unstoppable female character.

Then Marvel should out some effort into creating a new character with new powers etc.

Not just shoehorning POC or females into other roles.

I never agree with you but 👆

Eh, Juggernaut is a mantle, not a name like Thor was. There's already been what, three Juggernauts so far? A woman being one wouldn't be a big deal imo.

Just don't make Cain Marko get a sex change or anything.

Eric masterson was Thor for awhile.

Its not without precedent. Odinson never liked his first name that much apparently. Lol

I only have a passing knowledge of Thor solo stuff, but iirc that was wholly different. Masterson was to Thor as Donald Blake was, I thought.

They should make Cain Marko trans, that'd be so progressively lame that I can actually see it working.

I think it's really brave moronic what they're doing.

Not at all. It takes some courage to stand up to the oppressive patriarchy and other forms of oppression and discrimination.

I'm all for adding more representation. Not at the expensive of the more established characters. It's lazy writing as they can't rely on making new and interesting characters

Ms.Marvel is the one of the better examples To do it properly

As is America Chavez. Bit cheesy at times, but hey, no characters perfect.

I think you are missing the point. Most are not against diversity, its the way Marvel has decided to dump on established characters to promote it. All they had to do was advance diverse characters with thoughtful writing and interesting stories. But apparently that was too hard.

Iron Heart's personality seems quite good from what I saw in her Spider-Man appereance but why does she have to replace Iron Man?

Her solo book is pretty bad and hammers the entire first issue white men are evil

Guys, I'm kidding.

I hate when people uses that crap. What patriarchy are talking about?

Do you know there are more than 10 laws on the books that favors woman over men?

A woman can cry rape and be believe and destroys a mans life. Guilty or not.

I mean seriously, it's the same shit with comics. You don't spit on the face of you're fans and expect them to take it.

Just saw you're post.

Yeah. Tbh thought you guys will call me out on it the second I started talking about oppressive patriarchy. I mean come on people! 😛

Sam's located in Russia. The patriarchy is alive and stronk there.

Completely agree, why to replace Thor with a female when they already have a Thor girl? Or Valkirie? Wouldn't be easier to make those characters more interesting?

Titania could be a new equivalent to Juggernaut although I don't think disney will like to call a female character Juggs 😛

But no, really what will happen if instead they started replacing the female characters for male characters?
Who is up for reading scarlet warlock? Or the male black widow who happens to really be black? The invisible man? ... Oh wait!... Nevermind!

How about making the objects of power more female friendly and more unisex?

The wand of... Oh wait!
The starband?... Damn, scratch that one off
The cosmic cube?... No that is is too unisex

Oh I know the infinity gauntlet, should be replaced by the infinity purse or the infinity nail polish! Yes! That will be more female friendly.
Guys can take it.
