We are also turning Superman into a genderfluid crippled black midget with elephantitis and autism.
Why bother with worldbuilding and writing when we can just do this so the people incapable of reading can sympathise with him inmediatly simply because of his race, loveual identity and handicaps.
yeah but that's the fault of stuffty writers, not casting a woman as thor. if you have stuffty writers then you aren't going to have a good comic regardless of if your protagonist is white, trans, willy wonka, or a t-rex made out of legos
I think you can change the gender and race of a character if you stay true to the way they were written originally, you can't like turn something like Batman into a quirky lesbian you'd completely destroy his character and the batman universe.
Changing the race, gender and whatnot of a character still remains a completely handicapped move because it is nowhere near necesarry, if you really want to make a genderqueer autistic chickenboy who fights crime, make a new loving character for it, don't ruin existing characters.
There are however some characters who can work regardless of race, gender is a tougher one because a character with a lot of manly traits in his personality would need to be rewritten and that's something you should avoid, especially on decade old characters.
