I, for one, am outraged that this comic that I have never read is being changed.

I'm starting to see why Hollywood is running out of ideas.

They better not touch Batman, Batman is white.

I think I'm more surprised people still care about comic books than Spiderman becoming blacxican.

You can't. As far as I'm aware, Marvel hasn't given two shits yet about making an origin story and decided to go for this marketing angle first where they go "HEY LOOK SPIDERMAN IS GOING TO BE A MINORTY!"

There's nothing inherently wrong with a minority spiderman. It's the way that they're going about marketing him that seems wrong.

And obviously a new hero wouldn't have the notoriety of an established hero. But that's Marvel's problem if they don't want to spend the time to develop and market a new hero instead of going about it this way and alienating many more fans who just feel that spiderman is and always should be Peter Parker.
