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

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).

Ok you want some non civil war examples. Days of future past was about kitty pryde not wolverine, captain marvel didn't show up 20 years before characters like spiderman and iron Man, ant man and wasp were on the original avengers team, Ultron actually managed to stick around for more than a few days and I can easily go on. I honestly can't think of a single super hero movie that accurately follows the comics even in situations where there's no legal reason for them change things but like I said no one cares until they change someone's race. If the internet existed 20 years ago people like you probably would have complained about ultimate Nick fury being a black guy but wouldn't say a word about the dozens of other differences between the ultimate and 616 universe

Days of Future past starred Wolverine because the timeline doesn't work the way it does in the comics and Kitty Pryde would not have been born yet.

 

We have absolutely zero context on why Carol is showing up so far in advance, so bringing this up is really just grasping for straws.

 

Ant-Man and Wasp were also viewed as B-tier characters at the time the first Avengers came out, and weren't given a chance until after the second Avengers.

 

Age of Ultron was already way too long, and partitioned movies usually catch a lot of negative response. Including all of his shenanigans would have taken up too much screen time.

 

Nick Fury (MCU) is based on Ultimate Nick Fury from the Ultimate Marvel comics; he has basis in comics, and has been a thing for 17 years.

 

And to sum things up: people don't like core aspects of what makes their character them being changed for what is literally no reason. You can change the age Peter Parker joined in the Civil War, but you can't decide Peter Parker is black. No, you make a black character to take that identity as well, like Miles Morales. No one's saying there can't be a black Wolverine. But James Howlett is a white canadian.
