I like how they distorted his "Spider-man wears a full bodysuit so everyone can relate to him regardless of skin color" quote to mean the exact oposite
Lol, I just realized Miles even has a black bodysuit
That already happened with Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider and people didn't particularly like him replacing Peter, even thought it was his literal clone...
Yea, I never cared for that storyline.
I read Miles Morales at first but then I got annoyed with the push to have him replace Spidey. Like you said they should’ve had him be inspired by Spider-Man but have his own name and powers
One of my favorite characters is Steel. His comic run wasn’t successful but he appeared during the death of Superman (my favorite character along with Spidey) and he was inspired by Superman to fight crime and make a difference so he created a suit. Didn’t call himself Superman.
I always liked the concept of Steel. It's a shame that he didn't become DC's working-class Iron Man.
Me too. I guess the one good thing is that I’ve bought a lot of his 90s comics from the dollar bin
At least Miles is acknowledged as a fucking different person.
Nick Fury got literally supplanted by Black Nick Fury after the MCU made that the image of him. And they barely even pretend they aren't just treating him as the same person.
Black Nick Fury originated from the Ultimate Marvel universe, where he was intentionally drawn to look like Samuel L. Jackson before the MCU ever happened. I don't actually know the specifics of how they transformed original Nick Fury into Jackson but the character's not completely pulled out of nowhere.
Both Fury and Miles were from Ultimate, and are the only two things that made it out of that world's cancellation I believe.
The one in the main continuity debuted literally right around the Avengers movie, and its literally "OG Nick Fury fucked some black agent, this unrelated previous character's real name is literally Nick Fury Jr. and he also shaves his head and lost an eye." Which they then made Original Fury stop being used almost entirely and let this one take on basically everything Fury would normally do.
Miles being just Spiderman also isn't something they pulled out of nowhere originally, but its a bit different now that Spiderman isn't dead and circumstances aren't the same. No different than the gap between "in this universe he was always Sam Jackson" and "his identical but black son we never mentioned for 60+ years will take over his entire existence."
True.
the meta-verses was such a mistake..
People love new. They are suspicious of “Like New” and hate “Like it or go away.”
