I didn't read it. I'm sorry.

yay....Peter again...oh well

At least now they can have a chance to kill him off so Miles can properly to take over instead of Miles just being Spiderman first.

If they EVER give another Spidey-person a chance.

I am glad it confirmed the origin will be skipped over. However, he already graduated from high school twice in movies. I would have liked Stan Lee to have kept Peter in high school longer than 28 issues but I would like to see him starting out at ESU.

The internet is fun, because you can say things like "I can't wait for them to kill off the white character and replace him with a minority character." Where if you say the reverse, you probably end up on a watch list somewhere.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm thinking the reason they'll start Peter young and in high school in this version is so that they can keep him in as many movies as they want in the far future.

Not like RDJ who's getting older and older.

Are people really so spoiled these days that they bitch about a superhero being who they're supposed to be?

who said that?

Look I just want Miles because I enjoy him and because I'm really REALLY REALLY tired of seeing Peter's life.

I kinda hoped he would just be an Avenger already (and go play with a team) and maybe Miles could take over the solo Spider-man movies.

(I wouldn't mind a Spider-women movie either)

but ya know....fanboys would rage cause "That isn't Spider-man! There's only 1 Spider-man! not like there's a bajillion different Robins or Flashes or Ant-mans or Green Lanterns"

but for some reason....Spidey is untouchable.

See?

I mean I knew what you were trying to say, I just thought the way you said it was funny. Because if you flip that sentence inside-out, oh man, it doesn't come off so innocent. But I knew what you were getting at.

I'm kinda just teasing anyways, but I also don't think the general public cares much about "Affirmative Action Spider-Man". I mean I personally don't really see Spidey as a "legacy" character, anyways; I think there's a very specific way you can do that so that the audience at large will buy it, and so it's not just "another guy wearing the suit", and I kind of never saw Spidey as being one of those characters. Like, Batman always had sidekicks, so it makes sense that one day, one of them would be Batman, and have their own Robin, etc. Or that one Flash would pass it on to someone in their family who inherited the power. All that stuff is long-established within their respective mythologies. To my knowledge, the only character who could take over for Parker and have it make any real sense is a daughter that hasn't been born yet and only even exists in certain possible futures. But even then, there's a strong connection with the original character that makes it a "legacy" and not just a costume. What they're doing with Spidey and other characters in comics nowadays isn't like that at all; it's just "We need to shake things up. Stick the suit on someone else. And to be really neat, try and make them as dissimilar as possible to the first guy." It doesn't ring true, to me, just feels like a gimmick. Like, Batman handing the gig over to Grayson makes sense. If someone like, Booster Gold started wearing the suit, calling himself Batman... well, sure, he technically could, but it'd be kind of stupid and he'd have no GOOD reason for it. He wouldn't really be Batman, just some dude calling himself that.

To a lot of folks, "That guy had his turn" isn't a good enough reason to replace someone they like and are familiar with, especially if they still think there are good stories with that character that are yet to be told. So, yeah, there's a few reasons why not everyone thinks Spidey can or should be just a suit full of different guys. They're always gonna prefer to see "the real guy" over the replacement. You watch the Stooges, you want Curly, Larry and Moe. Nobody wants a Shemp!

Me? I'm personally not tired of seeing Parker's life in movies - especially since only half of them were any good, in my opinion, and I'd like to see them improve before they panic and scrap everything - but I am kinda tired of seeing the same six months or so of his life played out in movies. We're in agreement on that, for sure. But there's still plenty of stuff they could do that I'd love to see. There's plenty of life left in Peter on screen; the writers just need to get out of that "Year One" rut they're in.

Also, the Green Lanterns are like a police force or marine corps. By definition there are a million of 'em. Totally different scenario there. That's not even a "legacy" character, that's just, "I'm a space cop, this is my standard-issue space cop uniform that we all wear."

Hold up a second.

What makes him "Affirmative action Spider-man" exactly?

let me guess...the fact that he's not white?

cause all non-white heroes that happen to take over another hero as a legacy will be considered as affirmative action.

It sure is nice being a minority and finally having a character that looks like you just to be called affirmative action or a PC ploy.

It feels real good.

I'm sorry...I just hear that all the time, it makes me upset.

[Leo656]

Iiiii know, I was just razzing ya. It was kind of too easy a joke, I admit. Like ya said, though, I'm hardly the first. Wasn't anything personal. Sometimes I just like to take a swing at the ones that are just kinda hanging there.

Wait a minute didn't already have this kind of conversation XD............I think it was when we were talking about Vixen?? lol

[Leo656]

Yep. Not gonna lie, I kinda pitched the Spidey joke out there because I knew you'd swing at it.

I'm terrible, I know. Ants at a picnic, I am.

and I fell for it


I feel like I lost a battle or something.


look, I don't have time to defend a character that I can and will defend all day long! No time!!

[Leo656]

To be fair, I really do bring out the worst in everyone. So it's not really all your fault!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I have to admit, I don't have any interest in a Miles-Spider, either. Nor does MOST of the fan-base, or the general public. Miles is a character who appeals to MAYBE about 1/4 of the Spider-fans. Probably being generous, there, but there it is. The rest of the world is just going to look at it as a cheap gimmick replacement and call shenanigans. It's sad, but true.

[Leo656]

Kinda reminds me of when Superman had a mullet, and I was the only one who cared.

I mean... it was 1993! It was still semi-fashionable! For like... a few more weeks... and he only had it until... like... 1997... so... not... that bad? Maybe?

Hmm well I guess most of the fandom is gonna be ticked off at the fact that Miles is gonna be the Spidey Avenger after Secret wars. (unless there is more than one Avengers comic coming out)

I don't know what they were thinking if Miles wasn't liked.

[Leo656]

They were thinking that if they didn't put him in the book, you'd bombard them with sassy gifs!

You bet I would.

Update on the casting. These five are rumored to be in the running.
