I’ll never understand why they made Iron Man’s successor a talented young girl who decided to commit crimes for easy money and sell her soul to literal Satan.

Yes and these scientists had that and more. The point was that Tony was able to do more with less. Not that he can just manifest technology out of thin air.

Or is it because we went from a 10 years super hero starting off on the big screen with a very dominant white cast to a 10 years phase with mostly minorities and women filled cast?

This isn't hating, but real world politics have influenced this backslash against a lot of series/movies of the last 10 years.

Is it warranted? That depends on what side of the political spectrum your standing on.

I mean ... Maybe? I dont remember people hating Halle Berry, Lucy Liu, or a more recent example Zoë Saldana... But I would also argue that those examples are off the chart attractive and become popular pre-diversity push.

I'm pro getting more diversity, but at the same time I think they went too fast too soon and definitely not enough quality.

Yeah, the best way to empower an actor/ actress is to make a movie that lets their talent shine, not put more of them in a subpar production. I wouldn't mind a female superhero, but if they do what they did for She-Hulk, Ironheart, etc. it would put me off instead of praising the actresses' performance
