For whatever reasons, I don't think any major changes to Captain America causes much of an uproar with people. And I think that's part of it. Several different characters have called themselves Captain America, while picking up Mjolnir had never before turned anyone else into Thor. It also might have helped if Marvel was a bit more forward about who new Thor was, or decided to unveil it somewhere other than The View.

Fans have already had a while to get themselves comfortable with Miles Morales, and even before that have had a Spider-Man who isn't white, who isn't a guy, and who isn't even human. So I don't think there's going to be much of an uproar over this one. But we'll see.

And to anyone that is for some reason upset by this, the one thing I can say is that Peter Parker isn't going anywhere. Not for long, at least. I remember a time in the 90s when the Flash and Green Lantern were Wally West and Kyle Rayner.
