Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is a sweet superhero tale where, yes, a group of younger heroes come together to battle an extremist group. But more importantly than that, it's a superhero tale with diversity oozing out of every animated frame.
...
Ms. Marvel, who idolizes Captain Marvel and is inspired by her, instead leads the Secret Warriors movie, showcasing her origin tale, her relationship with her mother and her struggle for acceptance in a culture that is adverse to the creation of the Inhumans -- the latter being people who gain superpowers after getting into contact with a gas substance called Terrigen Mists.What Secret Warriors is doing particularly well is that it isn't shying away from its focus on diversity in any part of its plot. In particular, the storyline aims at a brewing conflict between humans and an extremist group of Inhumans, the latter believing that a war between the two groups is inevitable. Khan ends up stuck in the middle, as an Inhuman herself who doesn't believe the conflict is needed.
Another refreshing carryover from Marvel comics is America Chavez. Her origin story, which sees Chavez's two mothers sacrificing themselves to protect their daughter, remains completely intact and sympathetic. Chavez herself demonstrates herself as a formidable ally, having super strength and the ability to fly. It's a nice start for LGBT representation on the animated side of the Marvel universe for now.
Wasn't Captain Marvel a man?

Nope, afraid not. I'm neither Republican nor conservative and I've been reading comics since around X-Men Giant-Size #1when the second team of X-Men were introduced (In a big box from my uncle not fresh off the press. I could read early but not that early.). And you know what? I never had issue with what they put in comics until after 2K. The problem is not minority protagonists. The problem is putting agenda ahead of good storytelling, with a side of being insulting, self-righteous, antagonistic pricks about it.

Watch out, that spotlight shining will earn you a CoC smackdown.
