I'm tired of this overemphasis on diversity spilling into our entertainment.

And there wouldn't be a double standard in your case if they made Falcon white, right?

 

Changing age isn't a big deal, since most instance of FF take place during Johnny being an adult, meaning making the movie with a kid would have thrown off the general population who know adult Johnny from the cartoon and comics. Civil War changed in its entirety because Fox owned the mutants, who were a HUGE point of contention and practically the point of Civil War.

 

But do you have any instances of this double standard that aren't super easily debunked?

Spiderman wasn't 15 during civil war, planet hulk didn't feature Thor, captain America was supposed to die at the end of civil war ect but I'm sure you're going to twist yourselve in knots trying to justify why all of those changes are fine but making a minor characters like Ben Urich black is the end of the world. 

You keep bringing up age like it's a big deal, but it isn't.

 

Planet Hulk was either not going to happen at all because of Universal, or it was going to be a cameo arc. I'd rather have some than none.

 

You know, you keep circling back around to Civil War, but literally everything wrong with it has to do with the fact that X-Men isn't there. Not having mutants in it changes the entire story from the ground up, which is *gasp* another studio issue. 

 

And I'm sure you'll twist yourself in knots trying to come up with more examples. Maybe you'll start vetting them a bit more, but I'm sure I'll get to repeat the lines about Civil War a few more times. And people don't generally complain about minor characters (unless you consider major characters like Johnny Storm and Domino to actually be minor).
