And no I don't dislike her, she seems like a kit bash of mr.fantastic, and mystique, with the teenage girl vibe thrown in to appeal to a very specific audience. And the inhuman slant to cut the xmens throat for internal reasons at Disney... but no I don't know her well enough to dislike her... which is my point, you have some "marvel now" hardon so you think everyone loves the new fish, I'm just saying no one I know was like "fuck yeah we're gettin susy big fist!".

That's your right of course, no one is saying you should like her. I'm just saying that she is popular by any objective standard. Her books are some of Marvels best selling, her digital sales are unprecedented and the video game developers with Marvel licenses could hardly add her to their games fast enough, and Funko got a pop vinyl out for her pretty fast for a new character too. You don't hear people talking about her, fair enough, but I don't hear people talking about Spider-man either, all we can infer from that is that the people around us are largely indifferent to Kamala Khan and Spider-man.
I'd recommend anyone at least try reading the first few issues of her title though, you might like it, it's popular for a reason.

Well said. I really, really hate The Walking Dead for example, but I don't assume everyone else must and its popularity is faddish or imagined. People like different things, and that's normal and fine.
