732834, First: MCU Spider-Man isn't an "anxiety case", at all

He's probably the most happy go lucky version of the character in any featured continuity across any medium including tv/films, video-games, and comics.

Second: It's probably best to count the featured non-white male characters when they are actually featured. We can assume BP and CM will be heavily featured going forward but "Disney" isn't "killing off all the legacy white male and characters"; the contracts have run out for the overwhelmingly white male characters Marvel Studios featured in their films and either aren't worth renewing due to cost or the actors would like to do other things.

No reason to give them credit for something that we don't even know is about to happen, especially for reasons that aren't even intended.

As of now, due to Ike Perlmutter being regulated to controlling Marvel TV and Kevin Feige has been promoted to Marvel Studios president; Marvel Studios is featuring characters from more diverse backgrounds and they deserve some credit for that, definitely. But let's not pretend they are killing off all the white males on purpose or that the white males they will still feature don't count for completely made up and silly reasons

Holla when the X-Men films star a woman of color instead of multiple handsome white dudes assuming the story of minority struggles
