Are non-comic readers complaining about X-23 again?

"Marvel Comics keeps replacing white male heterosexual characters, via its "Diversity Initiative".without creating ORIGINAL minority characters that people care about."
Funny thing is Marvel's editor-in-chief has discussed that they do this since the original minority characters don't sell that well e.g. Black Panther. So although you are here lamenting the lack of great minority characters it seems like many people (maybe even you) aren't actually supporting minority characters.

I'm not complaining about X-23 taking the mantle of Wolverine, but I just refuse to BUY ANY ACTUAL COMIC BOOKS with her as Wolverine.
X-23 was created from Logan's DNA. But she was never ever intended to be a replacement to Wolverine. If you've read any of her books not only is her personality polar opposite from his and she's made a concerted effort to be her own person and push herself as far from the life she was made for as far as possible. Let's face it Wolverine isn't Batman. He's team thug and heavy,that's it. That's his function, why on earth would Laura want to be him? When she can be a hero in her own right? The placing of her as taking on Wolverine's mantle is just bad and lazy writing. I dropped ANW after the first arc because, the writing was just bad and that wasn't X-23. It's generic American Teenage girl in a Bruce Willis film.

Im a comic reader, I dont like X-23 but it has nothing to do with feminism. I'm actually a feminist myself.
Not surprised. Most women/girls don't like X-23 type characters. That's why Girls and Sex and the City have had such longevity as shows.

Why would non-comic book readers complain about a character they don't know? Generally only comic book readers complain, because they always think that the characters and story-line of the comics is butchered in the movies (as if it's the first time they seeing such a thing) and are vocal about it.

Well, a funny thing is, even I when I don't read comics know that there IS spider-woman (but I think her name is different).
I don't know, for me the main criteria with these superhero movies are:- story-line;
- logic behind story-line;
- action
If these are all met for me - well, the movie is a good blockbuster.
