When Captain America Wielded Mjolnir To Fight Nazis
So having a religious relic that has a mystical caveat of the bearer needing to be 'Worthy' to lift it, and whose image already is used by a number of racist, far-right and outright Nazi organisations, being lifted by an arguably Nazi fascist in a triumphant stance is not the best optics. Nevermind the questionable notion of[...]

Should We Be Concerned About Diversity at Marvel?
Sam Wilson is "just" the black Captain America And by having the characters remain under these titles, it is hard to escape the idea, even for the hardcore fans of these current plots, that it won't last forever – the original will some day return. So if Marvel gives these characters their own identities (or returns[...]
