Yeah, Marvel is starting to become political and keeps shoehorning in minority characters for "diversity", and replacing a bunch of characters too. I remember Thor was replaced by Jane Foster, which makes no sense since Thor isn't a mantle but is literally his name (and don't get me started on when Jane-Thor let a supervillain get away on purpose due to having a "girl pass"). Or creating an Ironheart, who in my opinion isn't interesting and adds nothing new. Or making Captain America a Hydra character.

I don't mind when they replace characters temporarily because it's usually interesting, such as Doctor Doom as Iron Man (Doctor Doom is an established character who people already like), Amadeus Cho as All-New Hulk or whatever (Amadeus Cho is a supporting character who has helped Hulk before and fit into the role), Bucky or Falcon as Captain America (they're both characters who have been important to Captain America and were their own characters, and they deserved to be Cap).

I'll admit when Miles Morales replaced Peter Parker in the Ultimate comics I was at first suspicious since it seemed like they just wanted to have a black Spider-Man, but he grew onto me until Ultimate Universe got destroyed and he got sent to Earth-616. I found it pretty unnecessary, and it felt shoehorned. Ms. Marvel was done right in my opinion, and while her comic sometimes features religion her character isn't "I'm Muslim" or "I'm not a white person" or "I'm female", something that other comics seem to do.

Doctor Octopus as the Superior Spider-Man was a great idea in my opinion, and done right since Doc Ock wasn't a minority (Not like that, but as in when Marvel tries to force minority characters into roles for diversity while not understanding why fans are upset over a character dying off purely for a minority character to fit in his/her place) and was already an interesting character for years.
