Agreed. People love Miles Morales and don't want a black reimagining of Peter Parker.

I get the decision to make Sulu bi in the star trek movies, but the problem was never that sulu wasn't allowed to be queer, but that George Takei wasn't. If anybody in TOS should be made bi it's Spock and Kirk. Sulu was just a straight character played by a gay actor.

Not looking to pick a fight, but imo nothing about TOS was (totally) straight, least of all how Takei played Sulu.
