And speaking about his death, I really took it as an omen of the end of an era. You see, when he was making comic books, someone began talking about the need of black characters. And they didn't lazily make Heimdall black or the Valkyrie latino-american like in the MCU, (which are minor characters by the way and that just make the choice seem tokenism even more).

And of course I can't refrain from mentioning Captain Marvel, who is now a woman in the comics (and of course they had to use this latest persona in the movie) even if she already was well-established and beloved character Miss Marvel and the Captain Marvel/Miss Marvel "pairing" was already good. This left the Miss Marvel spot vacant but of course they are not going to create a Mister Marvel, instead there were rumors of another female character, a Latino-American girl last time I checked.

In the sixities, they instead they created new characters, with powers and abilities which were never used before like Luke Cage, Black Panther and Falcon. Not to mention they also made black villains to keep things realistic and avoid pandering (don't know if that was intentional but it worked greatly), the Prowler is a prime example of this (former unhappy window-washer Hobie Brown who used his inventions to turn super-villain, don't know if you know him since to my knowledge he isn't part of the MCU).

These were very original characters, who don't make the stories feel odd because of representation issues.

No wonder the Man was against useless unnecessary changes made to characters, he created three out of the four characters I mentioned, this shows you how highly creative he was, a Man who knew how to make a good job in entertainment industry.
