    What does seem evident is that Marvel wants “to have mass appeal,” says Shama Rangwala, a York University assistant professor of humanities, “but will likely end up pleasing no one” due to the concerns expressed by a range of viewers.

    “Seems evident” my ass, they adapt comic characters completely differently in the movies all the time. No matter what the background is.
