You said that it was sexist and racist that they made the Black Order instead more diverse characters... except that Corvus Glaive is played by an African American actor and Proxima Midnight is female.
This seems like another time where you are upset that they didn't do exactly what you wanted and then now you are trying to equate them not doing what you wanted to them being sexist and racist.
cute, real cute job there trying to twist around an actual and a long-standing issue in toy collecting (ignoring female and poc heroes in favor of villains) into a personal temper tantrum.
My issue with the A:IW was the fact that the first wave contained more villains than female or moc heroes combined. The fact Proxima Midnight was female does nothing to change the fact that she was a villain and it still doesn't change the fact that out of more than 25 A:IW POPs (so far), only two have been female heroes. And yes, the actor who played Corvus Glaive is African American. But that doesn't magically make Corvus Glaive into an African American character.
As for today's box, I had little expectation we would actually get a Pepper Potts or a Maria Hill figure because I know Funko does not cater exactly to my demographic - plus I've been collecting toys way too long to put that much trust in any company. I assumed we were going to maybe get that Avengers-back-to-back movie moment or worst case scenario get some more lazy chrome POPs. I didn't get mad until I saw the spoilers this morning and saw that Funko apparently rather scrape the bottom of the MCU villain barrel than finish off the two remaining reoccurring heroes from the first 10 years of the MCU. That was my final straw with the MCC boxes, so I'm done with them.
