Part 7/11:
The show is critiqued for its overt and, some argue, excessive cultural messaging. It features diverse characters—transgender individuals, non-binary characters, and women in prominent roles—to the point where some see it as "black girl magic" or an overtly progressive tool. However, critics argue that this comes at the expense of storytelling quality, with some characters appearing tokenistic or caricatured.
They lament that the show seemingly "waited too long" to include diversity into the MCU, and now faces the challenge of balancing political correctness with quality storytelling. The critique extends to how the writing seems influenced by contemporary cultural shifts, making the show feel both stale and dated, as if it was made in a different era.
