Part 7/9:
The move to gender-swap Silver Surfer, especially with a relatively new star, indicates that Marvel is committed to reimagining its classic characters, possibly at the expense of legacy and traditional storytelling. Given the collection of missteps and underwhelming releases in recent phases, many fans are skeptical about whether these new creative directions will resonate or contribute to a successful resurgence.
Despite some claims that alternate universe stories have previously featured female Silver Surfer variants, critics remain doubtful that Marvel's primary intention is authentic storytelling. Instead, they suggest it's a marketing decision aligned with a broader cultural agenda.
