Evidence dossierThe evidence dossier — both sides, by the receipts

Marvel producers said films should present the world as it is and that adolescents need characters like America Chavez so they are not invisible 1 2.

The critical side argues Multiverse of Madness used America Chavez as representation product more than story necessity 1. The defending side argues comics Strange was always spooky multiverse and kids need to see themselves 2 3. Kevin Feige said films should present the world as it is outside the window 1. Victoria Alonso said children and adolescents want characters like Chavez so they are not invisible 2. Sam Raimi said comics Strange always dealt in spooky dimensions and they tried to bring that 3. WhatSphere scores advocacy 17 of 100 entertainment-first with identity present and LGBTQ centrality 1 4. Whether a multiverse cameo-heavy MCU film is still entertainment-first is a values dispute once the producers representation statements are fixed 1.
