Biggest reason Terry is acceptable is it's a different fucking era. Bruce was literally elderly, yet never lost his touch, only his capacity for physical activity. They keep trying to have Miles replace Pete in his prime.
True and that's the point, the team behind Batman Beyond were told originally to have a Batman story but set in school (that was a major theme of that time remember X-men evolution).
They had respect for the character so rather than replace the one they had from Animated series, they fast forwarded it so he was no longer on his prime but became a mentor (ironically like Alfred was) and have a new character who wasn't perfect, needed to someone to learn from but had a good heart.
The problem with these recent replacement attempts us they DON'T respect the previous characters, a lot of times the replacement is more powerful, intelligent etc that it comes off as mocking the past if that makes sense.
That was NEVER hinted at any point, and only became a point YEARS after the show had ended, in an entirely different series. Seriously, "we injected a serum into your late father before you were born that modified his sperm to contain Bruce Wayne's DNA." Even I gotta say that's some fucked up unbelievable bullshit.
Not canon, as far as I'm concerned. Terry being genetically related to Bruce detracts from the idea that he was just some punk kid who had his own dead parent trauma that pushed him towards justice.
He is only a “decent” character in the animated movies. Miles is a shit character everywhere else. Nobody even gave Miles Morales the time of day until the movie.
I’m glad I sold my Miles Morales and Spider Gwen comics. I liked Miles at first but then stopped reading when it got into “kids in cages” and refugees. I had a feeling they would be pushing him and Gwen to replace Peter Parker. For me there is only one Gwen Stacy
Miles should’ve been given a different name. Not necessarily a bad character but it’s annoying they are using him as a replacement
Spider-Gwen, from what I can tell, is a big nothing of a character. She doesn't give any more insight into the Spiderman experience. Actually you might say the same for Miles as well?
I think one of the worst things was not giving him his own name. Also, why not just have him have a different super power and be inspired by Spider-Man. One of my favorite characters (though his comics didn’t sell well) is Steel. He was inspired by Superman after his death and fought crime
They've been trying to replace Peter forever and it keeps failing to take because people are too attached to the character and his mythos. Its why One More Day is still considered one of the worst things in comic history and will explode any fan who hears about it.
Like, who was the biggest talked about character from the first Spiderverse movie? Still Peter Parker, even the older slovenly version. No one gave a shit about Miles.
They will keep pushing, and the "new hotness" will carry them for a while. But once that new shine wears off they will pull Peter back again because he sells forever while Miles or Gwen don't.
They are pushing Miles so hard that it's making it annoying despite being a decent character, just not the Peter Parker Spider-Man.
Think the ONLY character I accepted taking the title of the original character was Terry McGinnis.

This is nowhere near the same.

And they were respectful of Bruce Wayne and he did an important job from the bat cave
Plus, terry was his son. Unless peter parker was like 8 years old and banged miles morales mom when the dad was over seas fighting wars..

That's just the like news of Jewish doctor substituted the sperms with his own at the fertilization clinic! But sci-fi!
One of the best passing of the torch examples

Eh i was OK with wally west and kyle rayner
What about a perpetually criminal tagger is a good character?
