What's the difference between "natural" diversity and "forced" diversity in a comic book make-believe universe?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Unceremoniously dropping Tony into a coma, stripping thor of his power, title, even name, and turning steve Rodgers into a literal nazi, all in very rapid succession were PROBABLY not the best ways to convince people to fall in love with their replacements. Dont shit on the legacy

The idea in all three of these scenarios isn't to make the legacy heroes look bad though. Most people read headlines for these stories without actually reading the comics to see where the writers were going with it and just went along with internet outrage and complained about SJW pandering.

Thor himself chose to live as a regular man and denounced his godhood because he believed the Gods were selfish and spiteful. My only beef with that is that it makes no sense for someone to adopt Thor's name.

Tony's coma was probably a callback to the original Civil War, where a hero gets near fatally injured in a situation taken too far. But he still lives on as an artificial intelligence mentoring the new Ironheart.

And Hydra Cap, if nothing else, is a cool what-if story about what would happen in Hydra found Steve Rogers first before the U.S. government did and corrupted his ideology. And ultimately, Normal Cap comes back to challenge Hydra Cap anyway.
