Realizing that most of these characters were certainly created well before "Diversity" was a popular word in American Culture, I'm not arguing that various races shouldn't find more equal representation in the modern age. I just think that the way that Marvel is going about it is lazy. It's very much as lazy as adding Wolverine and [the currently moronic] Deadpool to everything to help bolster sales.
Create something new, don't just "reimagine" the existing.

There was something in the wiki page about him getting flak for wearing the blue and red tights... But it also describes him as being "very good at science" plus he's just another kid with a chance encounter with a radioactive spider.
I stand by my original statement, Marvel got lazy and accepted this to attempt to appeal to a new fanbase. |

Someone explain to me how my In Stock Conehead Seekers at TF source suddenly went back to Preorder? They were there just last week waiting on my Sunstorm figures to arrive and now... I'm waiting again for them to be restocked so my order can ship? The hell?

Because they probably got ganked out of your preorder in order to fill somebody's shipped order? I have never shopped at this place, but it sounds likely.

No, my price is set. But I'm thinking that Irid is right. I should have an answer by tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest. But I'm not happy. These should've shipped the moment my Sunstorm's came in stock. I certainly don't want to wait.
