Am I the only one excited about having a black Human Torch?

Here's an article on this.

 

Here, have another.

 

It's nice to see some diversity in Marvel movies, especially since one of the first racial-reverse roles I can remember seeing was the Kingpin.   (And recently, but before the new Netflix DD came out, I was saying it would be nice to see some black allies in the Marvel universe.   Black superheroes?   Nice, too.)

 

But Marvel - cinematic, TV shows, comics?   Getting a little diverse there.   From Northstar tying the knot (gay marriage), Jessica Alba playing Sue Storm, a black Kingpin, a black Nick Fury, a black human torch, a black Ben Urich, and a Muslim super-lady, we're getting treated to some options that aren't all just white dudes - or ladies - saving the day.   (Or, in one case, trying to crush everyone under their heels.)

 

I was like, wait, what? when I saw that trailer, and then I was like, they did!   I almost squealed in excitement, except there were like three other people in the theater with me.
