I think they caved to outside pressures.
I dislike race or sex changing characters. It hardly works. As far as i can remember all were disastrous except Nick fury because Samuel L Jackson is an icon. He could pull anything because he is cool outside the role.
Things like black human torch, female thor, etc. They just don't work. That isn't who the characters are, not to mention what a huge disrespect it is to their identity and legacy.
I'm sure i will still give it a chance, but i'm far from excited. This cave in to outside pressures will create a disconnect with the fans and the show runners that may spell disaster to the series.
