I'm definitely not against diversifying comics. Should have been done a long time ago.
At the same time, however, I think it's lazy appeasement to being PC in this day and age to change already established DC/Marvel characters into different ethnicities.
They should be thinking up original superheroes with their own backstories and histories that reflect their cultural heritage.
Take for example, Luke Cage. Being a black man from Harlem, changing his race in the future would strip everything from the original character as written.
Same for Black Panther. You wouldn't make those characters white guys.
Just curious though. Is it really Captain America without the super serum? I mean, at least Bucky, when he took it on, had the Winter Soldier super arm. Seems strange to have a cap without the serum pumping in his veins.
Falcon is BA though and I loved Marvel's choice of actors for the movies. Nailed that.
