But no character is a book seller right away. You have to push them and present something compelling, and maybe you get a new top tier character. Daredevil was a bimonthly book in the verge if cancelation until Miller took over. Bucky was supposed to be cap for like 6 issues but it took off and went on for years. Who says Blue Marvel wouldn't take off, or Luke Cage wouldn't take off like Ironman did after the movie with a good push?

Prove to me Patriot wouldn't sell. And I love how him being g retired is this impossible hurtle to get over......and who said Valkyrie or Sif should be used/pushed?

You can disagree with this desire for top tier minority characters, doesn't change the fact that's what they are going for. And yes they have to tell a story, and falcon sudden becoming cap the way he did and getting a lady Thor are lame stories, and/or poorly told ones. I'm suggesting there are better ones out ther (like patriot learning how to be cap. Blue marvel becoming a top tier hero etc...) that push their desire for diversity, and black cap and lady thor are lame characters, with weak stories that only invite comparison and a desire for the status quo.
