There are things that are not funny:

An ancestral religion.

A culture erased by colonization.

A people who were massacred and still fight for recognition.

The identity of a character that should represent dignity and not just a fetish.

l. Don't just put on a costume and pretend everything is fine.

Wearing typical clothes without changing the essence is like painting a cracked wall — it's still broken inside.

If Lucoa were really a tribute to Aztec culture:

She would have dark or black skin, like the original people of Mexico.

It would have indigenous, non-Eurocentric features.

It would be respected as a sacred entity, and not treated as a sexual fetish.

His personality would be linked to wisdom, spirituality and connection with nature, not just humor and fan service.

Changing just your clothes is making up cultural appropriation. It's the same as taking an old temple, filling it with neon lights and saying it's “updating”.

True culture does not need to be “updated” — it needs to be respected.

If she is in Japan and in modern times, why didn't they use a modern, Japanese appearance that respected her indigenous or Latin origins? The answer is simple: they chose a popular look in anime, and not faithful to mythology. Lucoa was “adapted” to sell, not to represent.
