your second line proves my point - you don't think they should or can introduce new or less established characters because Captain America and Thor will sell (and it remains to be seen how well Falcon America and Lady Thor sell - neither of them are established characters), even though this attitude is proven to be wrong.

Presenting knock off versions of their characters (as well as doing it, in Captain America's case) in unbelievable and unrealistic ways (why are seasoned Avengers suddenly taking orders from Falcon?) is a lame and pandering way to increase the diversity of their top characters. They have a long list of female and minority characters they should have pushed in new individual series as as part of their top teams and events to create that diversity in a better, more organic, more engaging, more realistic, less insulting, sustainable way.

As I said, I'm glad you have no influence in running Marvel as all they would ever do is whats been proven, nothing new or different would ever be tried. Once upon a time Hawkeye, Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch were established Marvel Villains, they become closely accociated with the Avengers ONLY because creators were willing and able to try something NEW and DIFFERENT.
