      @@elcangridelanime no. Screw the multiverse, I'm sick of it. Peter is like NY's mascot in Marvel comics. He should continue to take on the likes of Ock and Kingpin while also trying to juggle family life, like he used to try and juggle school. Both Peter and Miles should be allowed some space from these constant cosmic shenanigans and allowed to fill they're natural niche in the universe

      @@rickrivers2021 Yeah, Pete doesn't need to be multiversal. Just let him grow. Miles can easily fill Peter's original role as a young hero. Peter's arguably in his 30s now. As a man in my early 30s who is looking to settle down and start a family someday, seeing a friendly family-man Spider-man would be really relatable.
      Edit: And I'd argue that Tomasi and Gleason's run on Superman shows that you can tell a good superhero story about parenthood, and what do ya know, Marvel has access to Gleason and they're wasting his talents.

Mayday and Annie are a thing. Hell, he and Black Cat could have kids. Idk, point is that Peter should still be Spidey and just NOT be miserable. That isn’t relatable or cool; it’s depressing and sad. Peter can still be Spidey in NY. There’s enough space for he and Miles. It’s a big State, there’s multiple cities, blocks and so on. Daredevil is in Devil’s Kitchen, which is like a small part of NY.

It's been dragged out way too long.

    I'm just baffled they just don't make Ben and Kaine just a brotherly duo at this point. It would sell because people actually like Ben and Kaine both being good, it gives them a unique branding as not just 1 Spider-Man/Scarlet Spider going around, and people just genuinely want some more good guy adventures from both Ben and Kaine. It would be cool if we could see more of Ben and Kaine interacting and developing their dynamic as two brother clones. We don't need Ben to be a replacement to Peter, he should just be able to work alongside Peter and other Spidey's. Though with Mayday being real, there could be a something with Ben Reilly actually being a mentor Uncle Ben to her.

His design back then was cool plus he had the hate and viciousness of Kane and Venom with Peter's intelligence and dark humor. He didn't even die at the end of the clone saga...he was mopped into a containment unit.

    Throughout both of those entire runs, the only thing the side characters talk about is wether or not the villains going to villain again,and said reformed villain has to just keep proving to people they won’t.

    I think the big problem of Marvel is that most of the flag ship characters don’t get to grow and change.

But Spider-Man changes for an arc and then has to go back to being broke and miserable

    • @HawkEyeTS
      @HawkEyeTS Рік тому +8

      Not only does Marvel have a misery fetish when it comes to Spider-Man, but in order to make that happen, they'll do whatever necessary even if it doesn't make any sense given what has happened right before it. Honestly, Dan Slott's run making Peter a genius who owned a corporation and released major technology advancements should have changed the status quo of the character forever. Peter running the company into the ground is completely believable, but the idea that a single major failure effectively blacklisted him in the business world to the point that he had to return to the Daily Bugle is absurd. In reality, when a person gets into that kind of position, they effectively can fail upwards from that point forward if they're unethical, or bare minimum get hired by someone else who keeps a tighter leash on their creative output while still paying them an absurd amount of money.
      Peter Parker being a broke loser should no longer be on the table as a setting at this point, but because that's what Marvel wants his default to be, they make it happen no matter how stupid the path they take to get there is. And because they're willing to make stupid leaps to do whatever they want, it's that much harder to care when they want to pretend there's gravitas to anything they're currently doing to the character. No, I just don't believe you anymore. If you do something interesting that improves the character I know you're just going to screw it up later on to revert it. I'm sick and tired of it, and I suspect a lot of other people are as well.

    I would argue that the first 23-25 years of Spider-man publication history are fairly consistent and solid. The original clone saga from the seventies was of course silly comic-book non-sense but it still was grounded to Earth in that it didn't go crazy with the lenght of the storyline, the plot twists, nor the amount of characters involved. There was a respect for the established editorial line of the character that wouldn't allow for extended or radical departures.
    The clone saga from the nineties on the other hand is when Spider-man comics went on full self-parody mode, basically rehashing an old storyline and upping the amount of twists and characters, not caring at all for the damage that was being done to the character. It's hard to believe that it's been about 25 years since that story.
    At this point the Spider-man series is at the second or third iteration of old storyline rehashing. Each iteration making the character history sillier and dumb. The existence alone of loads of spider character derivatives is proof enough of this self-parody phenomenon.
    For me the series decline started with David Michelinie and I eventually dropped it when Mark Bagley arrived. Only a selected handful of good stories since then and for the life of me I cannot understand why people keep buying that comic unless they have a genuine appreciation for a self-parody of Spider-man and not for the actual original character.

    Ben Riley is not like a brother to Peter, he is a fake person that remembers things that never happened to him. I didn’t buy the brother thing in the 90’s comics, I don’t buy it now. Would you want to be friends with someone “exactly like you”? That’s weird on a lot of levels. He’s also another redundant character in an era where marvel is doing everything they can to make Prime Peter less special and more redundant which makes this the most annoying time to have reintroduced Ben, but also makes total sense because they are out of ideas.

    Peter and Spider-Man stories with the Peter we've had since OMD is done. The writers, editors, and marvel as a whole need to get over the idea of this Peter and grow him up. One More Day needs to be walked back already, this story has existed ten years too long. MJ and Peter need to get back together, actually get married and Mayday should be in. Miles has gained popularity from the movies, that right there is your young spider-man if you don't want Peter to be a mentor. Have Miles figure things out on his own. The newer readers are more likely to know Miles than Peter, and the movies do nothing for 616 Peter because they simply aren't him as he is (Tom Holland).
    Older readers know Peter, the audience for this Spider-Man is older men and women who grew up with Peter Parker and are loyal to him and maybe some of the clones. Need Killer/violent Spider-Man? Bring in Kaine. Female Spider person? Gwen or Cindy if you can figure something out with them. Jessica Drew should be left to Avengers and maybe join Heroes for Hire if they're around. Ben should just be a brother to Peter and Uncle to May. Repair Peter's relationships too, maybe if you did that and then took the F4 out of play due to Negative Zone or space adventures in their own book, by time they get back May is the same age as Franklin and Valeria, let the kids adventure together. Hell you can even throw Danielle Cage in there.
    Nine days until ASM #25 and man I can only imagine the incoming shitshow and after it I don't know what's going to happen with Spider-Man fan side.

    DC & Marvel BOTH do the same thing when a villain gains popularity Marvel & DC feel the need to stop presenting that character as a villain DC has done this with Bane, Marvel is currently doing this with Normal Osborn, and in either case it only lasts until the next writer decides he needs an explanation for his villain to do something out of character.

    I really like JRJR, but I think he’s not as good as he used to be. I think his best was around the JMS run/world war Hulk, though I have to say my favourite time of him is in the 80’s on Roger Stern books, he’s drawing more classically with modern sensibilities and I think it really holds up. The Juggernaught story comes to mind!

    With the context of how he gets the name chasm that is definitely stupid but the costume doesn't look that bad the colors are kind of cool it is a lot though it's a lot of colors at once and it does look like a symbiot which is dumb they might as well just made it to explain it better which they probably didn't explain very well I have not read the comic that being said I do make the effort to watch UA-cam videos to keep up with what's going on in the comic

    Let Peter settle down with Mary Jane and their missing daughter. He can then be a mentor for Ben Reilly and Miles Morales versions of Spider-man. Heck, give him a photographer angle and a hidden asset that can minorly trip up villains here and there. Can evolve him and even Norman and Jonah into making an organization the helps the webbed heroes. Huge, year over year arc, that could eventually collapse under public scrutiny when Peter is found out to not only be photographing, but assisting the heroes. Lead to lawsuits from villains claiming they were just putting on a show and shouldn't be in jail. More things could pop up to sabotage the company until, eventually, Peter resigns as the photographer and turns over his stakes in the company to Norman and Jonah. Sorry, I thought about this and it definitely needs refinement, but the current arc is so flipping awful and I stayed through the Clone saga.

    I feel they're trying too hard to spearhead the spider-man series so hard into the ground just to replace him with Miles. Miles' series have been lukewarm and forgettable. They tried to bring Ben back and then other people took over the title and were hellbent on ruining Ben too and hating Ben fans. Spencer was actually a Ben fan but left somewhere early on in the beyond arc. I feel like Ben or Kaine could have easily just replaced Peter and it could work since they are both still Peter's anyhow so the fans could enjoy him still.

    As much as I love Ben Riley, I feel like he really can’t work as well as another Spider-Man in the modern day, especially since Miles is here. Miles is more marketable and has something that’s really rare in characters that being beloved by old comic book fans and newer fans. He’s in the video games he’s in the tv shows. A person on the street can recognize miles morales before they can recognize Ben Riley. I feel like Marvel knows that. It feels like they don’t need to, but throw Ben out there to appease the older/hard-core Spider-Man fanbase for a couple years before he’s written off for a while. This also pains me to say it, but the same thing applies to Kaine too. I love him so much.

      I feel like good writers would find a way. People cherish clone characters in concept a lot when they have a great legacy. I agree though that Ben Reilly and Kaine by themselves can't really work. But they should be around because the way their character is made is too interesting to expand on to me.

    Obviously there's nothing wrong with providing a story where a character gets a new super suit or costume or whatever but when that's the entire story and there's no actual like plot or storyline or whatever and like specifically with Spider-Man where you know you don't get to see The duality of if Peter is going through something crappy he's most likely because Spider-Man is doing okay or was just doing okay or good or just save the day right or if Peter Parker's doing great that means most likely Spider-Man not and that's kind of the one the best stories is seeing how he's going to balance his life is Spider-Man and Peter Parker what things in his life as Peter Parker going to get screwed up because the Spider-Man has to happen will he debate throwing the costume in the garbage again for the umpteenth time that's a good Spider-Man story not here's a reworking of villain we've seen before and a character we saw once in one of the first ones of Spider-Man with a new coat of paint the reason why for all the criticisms early versions of and Riley work are because he's equally as flawed as Peter Parker maybe not exactly the same way and no that story is not perfect it's flawed it's just as flawless Peter but if you're a long time comic books reader or a person who understands basic sense about how to write a good story you understand that because these characters are flawed in the story itself is flood that we get to see that when the story is at its best and when the story is at its worst you can laugh at it or be bored with it but when there is no UPS to a story and it's just oh look flashy thing in my face the only thing to do is to go yay for a few minutes and then be bored until you get to go yay for another few minutes that's not a good story it's not a good progression it's not good character writing it's it's just bad but that's usually not what Spider-Man is it's not how to write Spider-Man and it's not who Spider-Man or Peter Parker the character is but certainly it's not how Spider-Man should be written it is how Marvel currently is written candy in front of a horse the horse being the fans then the candy being taken away then brought back in front of us then taken away no one wants it but that's what we're giving

    Give DC had something like amazing Fantasy that it would be a good way to have sideways in a few of their other characters that nobody knows about and that aren't doing well be seen by more people and then you could have some of those characters backups in larger characters books as long as you had a writer that could write that backup just as well as they did the main story and gave that backup story a good amount of respect then you could get this characters respect because just like the fantastic four right now and some other characters sideways is kind of there where maybe not in the mainstream yet but backups for comics and the fantastic four much more well known but anyway I don't know to come book industries confusing I think they just need to get out of their own way Marvel in DC individually on a corporate level creative level and just make comics have fun take chances make mistakes get messy but not to the point where it actually causes them corporate trouble and they file for bankruptcy that's the wrong kind of messy 😁✌️

    It's fine to do a fun story where things get quote on quote shaken up but the big focus should be on the character's story and writing not on what's going on in the world or money although money is important when creating a comic book for a big company but the fans are also important but the fans aren't the ones writing the comic any hoosit story characters plot art in the general comic book itself most important thing any fun extras surprises that should come naturally if the big focus is just having fun and writing the thing and I think the companies that pay the people to write these things forget that or maybe never knew it to begin with ✌️😁
