I just saw something else Marvel did. This month too, I think.

I get the point of the What If comics. But why? Why did they have to pick the whitest god, a character literally from a real religion, and make him the black character?
And not only that, but the utter disrespect to Mjolnir.
Like, they could've had a What If where Thor is goofing off, getting other to fail at picking up his hammer, and then Miles happens to be the only one who can.
But no. They literally took a whole religion and made them black. Loki is black. Odin is black. Y'know, actual beings that people have followed and worshipped for centuries?
Even other black people are mad at this because instead of ruling over the Asgard we know, it's now have grey buildings with graffiti on them, shoes hanging from powerlines, not to mention the graffiti on Mjolnir. Basically, black stereotypes.
Like, Miles in Spiderverse still did graffiti, it was something he loved as another form of art, but as far as I can remember he was just living life instead of making his hometown look like this. Even after the spider bite. He wasn't covering NYC with his art after the bite.
And the "best" part? It wasn't written by a black man. It's written by a latino man.
So it's a latino man stereotyping black people and then putting that in with a religion of white gods.
And Marvel just allows it, of course.
Y'know, considering they wanted to do pride comics, and were messing around with norse myth, they coulda just, y'know, make a comic about Loki causing tricks and getting into trouble while being his gender-shapeshifting self?
