What's wrong with Black Widow?

Look at the original Avengers poster.



Iron Man has personality in his design.
Thor has personality in his design.
Hulk has personality.
Cap too.
A bit muted, but Hawkeye has personality.

These characters all have a good presentation to them. You can tell by looking at them that they're significant characters who will shape the story.

Then you have the chick and the black guy in basic clothing. (And they're in the background.) No special marking. Nothing to to suggest that their title might begin with "The" or "Captain" or "Super." They're just there.

We've come a long way since there. If Black Widow were introduced today, she'd have a more memorable costume design and a probably lot more dialogue. Nick Fury would be the same character, but he wouldn't be the only black guy in the series -- the normal human being yelling at white superheroes. Now we have Black Panther. He's only one character, but it's a good start. A very strong start.

Like I said, Hollywood's making a lot of headway on diversity. Inclusion is in.
