You're not wrong. Racial stereotypes with Shaman and Talisman, questionable at best portrayal of mental health issues with Aurora. Questionable potrayal of dwarfism with Puck. And inappropriate relationships between Sasquatch and Aurora given Aurora's mental state, and the relationship between Hudson and Heather was heavily implied to have begun when she was underage.
You mentioned a few I haven't thought of. It's been decades since I read any of AF. I was also thinking of Sasquatch, which is considered a spiritual entity in several indigenous cultures.
And I hadn't thought of that. What's funny is that when I first read these stories when they were first released, the only thing I flagged as being potentially controversial was that they were obviously coding Northstar as gay. Now I don't find that controversial at all, and it's all this other stuff stands out.
It is interesting how culture has changed over the decades. I was watching The French Connection last year and Gene Hackman uses all kinds of racial slurs but never says the word F**k. You're right that Northstar as gay would have been the only controversial piece at the time if you weren't indigenous.And I hadn't thought of that.

Now pull the other leg.
Michael B. Jordan will be returning alongside Chris Evans (who is doing double duty!).
We will see the Council of Reeds and have cameos from Alex Hyde-White, Ioan Gruffudd, Miles Teller and John Krasinski appearing alongside Pedro Pascal.
Now that would actually makes sense within the context of the film.
I've actually read rumors that this might happen. I believe it way more than Norton coming back.
Nope. And I hate that movie.
