The heate is because she is short and thus they infantile her even though she is already an adult and her character is currently 19 so also an adult but "she doesn't look her age." Which is completely false. If anything last night episode proved everyone wrong.

To be clear, they didn't "make the silver surfer a female" they used the female silver surfer that exists. This is the wife of the OG Silver Surfer. Don't let people do with this as they did with She-Hulk. They are both established characters from the comics for meany years.
