Cyborg has never really had the character breadth or depth to carry a series on his own, but people don't really seem to DISLIKE him, just dislike how hard he's being pushed lately. He's boring, and overemphasized, but not nearly to the extent of Carol on either front. Dude's got a strong history with the Titans, and he's been reasonably entertaining in the JL book, it's when he goes solo that things start getting dull.
He's probably the closest approximation, though, just for filling the same mold, albeit to a lesser extent.
Aquaman is more of a meme than genuinely disliked, especially amongst more well-read fans.
Cyborg is boring trash. I don't mind any of the other characters really.
still I don't think they should change his origin. Him being a former Football player is the most interesting thing about him. Means we might get some nice game-scenes in his film hopefully before he turns into a shitty version of Robocop.
What they should do is replace him with Jaime Reyes, who is like Cyborg, but good, and also with a good supporting cast.
