If I heard that the Arrowverse was going to feature an older Kyle who was divorced and no longer interested in dating, I wouldn't just throw up my hands. There are still ways to make Kyle the character that he's meant to be, even under those circumstances. That's true for most characters................................................... ..........................

So either 11 of us are wrong or your living in a fantasy land. This isnt about a character being older . And again the multiverse is a lazy excuse for writers. How would you feel if whoever author of a book series decided one universe isnt enough the Harry potter world needs to be a multiverse or take a book series like hunger games. To me its a way of saying nothing in the tank for new creativity. 6 years ago they remade annie but tokenism took part . Granted annie isnt my thing but annie was written to be a white girl. People called me racist because how i spoke out against it. Put anytime people talk about casting a white person in a role like gods of Egypt people said the cast is a white wash. People need to honestly quit living in fear and grow a pair because towing a its ok line is very bad when it comes to race swapping white characters
I love multiverse concepts, and I'm intrigued by DC's new omniverse. As for race-swapping, I'm sorry if that is a stumbling block for some fans. I wish it weren't, but it is what it is. My favorite DC character underwent a "race change" (or "race revelation", I suppose) and it didn't change the character for me. That might be due in part to my understanding that the concept of race is ultimately rooted in pseudoscience, so I attach very little significance to it.
Back on the subject at hand (since race-changing isn't really applicable to the HBO Max show), I still feel that the GL80 story with Alan Scott might have dropped a hint at what version of Alan that we're going to see. He looked like the Golden Age Alan, but he was gay. Some of the GL show descriptions lead me to believe that a story with that type of fused-version character is what we'll see.Check out my Green Lantern product reviews on Twitter as the Emerald Enthusiast! @EmeraldEnthusi1

I like 60s/70s TV shows where you could tune in any given week and it doesn’t matter what order you watch the episode because the story finishes and you move on. No lying groundwork for some big, earth-shattering season finale; no crossovers, just simple one-and-done stories.

I’m so tired of multiverses and shared universes (yeah, even the MCU stuff I can mostly watch once and forget). I’m burnt out on it and by extension don’t really get excited for any comic adaptations anymore.

An older divorced Kyle might be something new and done well enough, however it's not the same as changing his sexuality to non-binary or making him Cuban instead of half Mexican and letting us know about it with every appearance. Every time he's advertised as a 'popular Hispanic hero' it makes me cringe, not because I'm not okay with the retcon but because at the height of his popularity he was of Irish decent and the retcon didn't come until much later. He's done alright since then, but it has less to do with him now being part Hispanic and more to due with the fact he had a solid fanbase BEFORE the changes were ever introduced.

Not to mention he was in SHIELD at it's earliest stages. No, we got desk jockey Fury who lost his eye to Carol Danvers' f***ing cat that was brought into SHIELD proper BECAUSE of interacting with Carol. Ultimate Comics Fury was still Nick Fury, MCU Fury is just trash after the bullshit that was Captain Marvel.
