Stan Lee said the beauty of Spiderman is that you can imagine anyone under the mask but he also said he doesn’t like changing established characters and would prefer to just make new ones. Now for me legacy mantles aren’t bad I mean look at Batman Beyond It’s mainly how you handle them and the problem with Miles’s introduction in the comics was that he was only made and given the mantle because of current day social politics, this was popular at first but eventually people just wanted Peter Parker again. back in those days if there was more to the character that made him unique and interesting most people would’ve liked Miles but due to the fact that most readers saw him as a Peter Parker clone with nothing to stand out interest dropped until Into The Spiderverse. Into The Spiderverse took Miles’s character and made him unique and interesting in ways that even some of his critics began to actually like his character. He was focused on as an individual not a current check box & more people began to like Miles in that movie because that version of the character was made and handled for more interesting and well written reasons then just being a Peter Parker Clone or current day social politics. But despite the fact that legacy mantle characters can be handled well and successful or badly and horrible at the end of the day the original or iconic version of the character is what most people identify with. Terry became Batman in universe of The DCAU but we call him Batman Beyond for a reason. He’s a great character but he isn’t Bruce Wayne. The same thing happened when all many of The Robins got the mantle of Batman, even if the story was good eventually people wanted Bruce Wayne as Batman again and The Robins as The Robins. The beauty of legacy characters is that passing down the mantle/torch is inspiring when written well and can be entertaining based on how you handle the story & characters like how Batman Beyond & Into The Spiderverse did but the downside is that legacy characters aren’t they’re own characters. They are tied to the original or iconic versions and since those characters are number 1 for many, they’ll always be seen as secondary to them. This is why original characters usually have more potential then legacy characters. So when people say Miles Morales is Miles Morales & Peter Parker is Spider-Man , it isn’t racism, or bigotry it’s usually due to the fact that for many are fans of the original character before the legacy character. I personally have no issue with saying Miles Morales is Spiderman because like I said legacy characters aren’t inherently an issue for me I love legacy stories when done well, but in my mind I’m saying Miles Morales is a Spider-Man, not The Spider-Man, Just like I’d think Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson become versions of Captain America, not that they are The Captain America, because Captain America in mind will always truly be Steve Rogers. The lesson we can learn here is that legacy stories can be well made and legacy characters can be interesting with hard work and good writing put in but eventually they’ll have to be sidekicks, partners basically secondary characters to the original or iconic versions that came before because they can never truly replace them for people. For a new character that you want to have their own status has to always be original because while legacy characters can be well made they’ll always just be legacy characters to people which is just another version. T’Challa was replaced by his sister as Black Panther people didn’t like that either and The Black Panther comics were going downhill at that point anyway. Legacy characters can be made and I’m behind them being made because I always loved legacy stories as a matter of fact I’m one of the few old comic book fans that believes you can make these new legacy characters in DC & Marcel good if you strip out all the modern wokeness and actually put great writing quality behind them but they can never fully replace the original or iconic characters and they have to be mainly side characters in that original or iconic Mythos they can still have solo stories but they have to tie back into that particular Mythos so while fans can enjoy these new characters and other new characters with better creative writing put in they can still enjoy the original and /or iconic characters that mean so much to them with better interesting creative writing. The only new characters that should fully have their own status like the originals and or Iconic ones should be the new original characters that have their own identity. If legacy characters transition from mantle sidekicks & secondary characters to their own full identities then the same applies and if they’re are characters that start off as new original characters and go to a mantle of an older original and or iconic character the same rule of side character/secondary/sidekicks applies. I believe that will solve the problem for many older and newer audiences not all but many. No more replacing, and no more changing or downgrading characters to replace them either. If you’re making a legacy character they need to be well written & interesting to be liked but sadly they’ll usually always be secondary to what came before. That’s the most likely scenario Now if your making a new character with they’re own legacy & mantle or taking a legacy character and giving them they’re own identity, legacy and mantle then the potential goes up especially with good writing and storytelling. There’s a reason Dick Grayson got more popular when as the first Robin he became Nightwing, or Jason Todd The Second Robin became The Redhood, even Tim Drake The Third Robin becoming Red Robin, or Barbara as Batgirl becoming Oracle. You could most likely have the potential to tell great stories with them in The Batman mantle with a legacy theme but if you try to write that they stay there forever people will loose interest & eventually they’ll just want Bruce Wayne back as Batman. Because he is The Batman. “As the indefatigable 92-year-old superhero conjurer and Marvel Comics chairman emeritus sees it, fan backlash up until this point hasn't so much been spurred on by racism as much as unyielding fealty to the source material. "They're outraged not because of any personal prejudice, Lee says. "They're outraged because they hate to see any change made on a series and characters they had gotten familiar with. In Spider-Man, when they got a new actor, that bothered them, even though it was a white actor. I don't think it had to do with racial prejudice as much as they don't like things changed.” “I wouldn't mind. if Peter Parker had originally been black. a Latino, an lndian or anything else that he stay that way. But we originally made him white. I dont see any reason to change that. It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that. Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it's so easy to add new characters.” - Stan Lee

I'm fine with legacy characters who are otherwise unique people apart from sharing the moniker of someone else who had it first. I don't even mind that Mikes exists. The problem with Miles is that he is literally just a less interesting Peter. Calling him Peter Darker says all that needs to be said about him. Into the Spider-verse was the first time I actually managed to give a rip about him because they actually put in the effort to give him his own personality. If they just made Miles more like the movie, stopped trying to ship him with a younger Gwen Stacey, and called him literally anything other than Spider-Man, I might actually be persuaded to care.

Here to point out that even in the animated movie Miles is still replacing a dead Peter in his own universe.

They couldn't even make him the only Spider-Man of his own universe even though they had a Peter from an alternate universe work as his mentor, which killed the need for Peter to exist in Miles' universe. They had all the tools to make him his own character instead of a legacy one and they still couldn't bring themselves to do it.

because he was never written to be his own character. The concept for him from Brian Michael Bendis is literally just "we have a black president, so why not a black Spider-Man". His character design is even based on Obama.

Another point against him and the Spider-Verse is that there's already plenty of Spider-Tokens, in the main continuity: Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker (which had the decency to call themselves differently), Ezekiel Sims, Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Charlotte Witter and Mattie Franklin, and a couple more with future continuity like Mayday Parker, April Parker and Ashley Barton. There's no real need to have more and more Spider-Tokens. Eight of these examples can be tolerated because they are directly related to Peter, both cause they are clones or his descendants or a clone of his descendant with April's case. I don't know if you want to consider Reilly Tyne, as one, since he chose to be Darkdevil and not a Spider-Person, even if he's Ben Reilly's kid and Bengy Parker was still a baby, in the MC2 continuity. And it's already daunting to have infinite Spider-Dudes spread across the Multiverse, but they are constantly ret-conned in and out of existence every couple of years, a proof that people only likes the IDEA of Peter Obama Darker, is because he doesn't have a story and a set timeline. He and his universe have being kept rebooting since his introduction, specially cause nobody asked for Peter to be killed and replaced by a r*cist caricature that all he's missing is a pair of kfc dispensers instead of web-shooters and a taste for watermelons and bananas. Nobody wanted Ben Reilly to replace Peter, which was a goddamn clone, why would they think that having a socialist depiction of a black kid would be any better? Nobody has a genuine care about him and nobody ever will. Because he was specifically made to replace one of the most beloved characters in modern day mythology. We are already opposing these sadistic writers who keep f*cking with Peter's life just for the sake of keeping him from aging and being a man, despite the fact that the premise of Spider-Man is just that, a boy growing up to become a man because of his acceptance of responsibilities (a lesson, these days he needs to relearn every couple of years at someone else's expense). Why would we accept people actively trying to kill him off so that a poser can replace him just to have the exact same life Peter already had? They don't even care to give him his own life, he just lives what Peter already faced when he was alive. And going back to Peter being responsible, the only reason why ONLY in the Woke-Verse movie and the PS4 game, Peter is responsible, is because they are using him as a stepping stone for Miles, otherwise he would still act like a complete moron at the expense of other people's life.

Stan Lee said the beauty of Spiderman is that you can imagine anyone under the mask but he also said he doesn’t like changing established characters and would prefer to just make new ones. Now for me legacy mantles aren’t bad I mean look at Batman Beyond It’s mainly how you handle them and the problem with Miles’s introduction in the comics was that he was only made and given the mantle because of current day social politics, this was popular at first but eventually people just wanted Peter Parker again. back in those days if there was more to the character that made him unique and interesting most people would’ve liked Miles but due to the fact that most readers saw him as a Peter Parker clone with nothing to stand out interest dropped until Into The Spiderverse. Into The Spiderverse took Miles’s character and made him unique and interesting in ways that even some of his critics began to actually like his character. He was focused on as an individual not a current check box & more people began to like Miles in that movie because that version of the character was made and handled for more interesting and well written reasons then just being a Peter Parker Clone or current day social politics. But despite the fact that legacy mantle characters can be handled well and successful or badly and horrible at the end of the day the original or iconic version of the character is what most people identify with. Terry became Batman in universe of The DCAU but we call him Batman Beyond for a reason. He’s a great character but he isn’t Bruce Wayne. The same thing happened when all many of The Robins got the mantle of Batman, even if the story was good eventually people wanted Bruce Wayne as Batman again and The Robins as The Robins. The beauty of legacy characters is that passing down the mantle/torch is inspiring when written well and can be entertaining based on how you handle the story & characters like how Batman Beyond & Into The Spiderverse did but the downside is that legacy characters aren’t they’re own characters. They are tied to the original or iconic versions and since those characters are number 1 for many, they’ll always be seen as secondary to them. This is why original characters usually have more potential then legacy characters. So when people say Miles Morales is Miles Morales & Peter Parker is Spider-Man , it isn’t racism, or bigotry it’s usually due to the fact that for many are fans of the original character before the legacy character. I personally have no issue with saying Miles Morales is Spiderman because like I said legacy characters aren’t inherently an issue for me I love legacy stories when done well, but in my mind I’m saying Miles Morales is a Spider-Man, not The Spider-Man, Just like I’d think Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson become versions of Captain America, not that they are The Captain America, because Captain America in mind will always truly be Steve Rogers. The lesson we can learn here is that legacy stories can be well made and legacy characters can be interesting with hard work and good writing put in but eventually they’ll have to be sidekicks, partners basically secondary characters to the original or iconic versions that came before because they can never truly replace them for people. For a new character that you want to have their own status has to always be original because while legacy characters can be well made they’ll always just be legacy characters to people which is just another version. T’Challa was replaced by his sister as Black Panther people didn’t like that either and The Black Panther comics were going downhill at that point anyway. Legacy characters can be made and I’m behind them being made because I always loved legacy stories as a matter of fact I’m one of the few old comic book fans that believes you can make these new legacy characters in DC & Marcel good if you strip out all the modern wokeness and actually put great writing quality behind them but they can never fully replace the original or iconic characters and they have to be mainly side characters in that original or iconic Mythos they can still have solo stories but they have to tie back into that particular Mythos so while fans can enjoy these new characters and other new characters with better creative writing put in they can still enjoy the original and /or iconic characters that mean so much to them with better interesting creative writing. The only new characters that should fully have their own status like the originals and or Iconic ones should be the new original characters that have their own identity. If legacy characters transition from mantle sidekicks & secondary characters to their own full identities then the same applies and if they’re are characters that start off as new original characters and go to a mantle of an older original and or iconic character the same rule of side character/secondary/sidekicks applies. I believe that will solve the problem for many older and newer audiences not all but many. No more replacing, and no more changing or downgrading characters to replace them either. If you’re making a legacy character they need to be well written & interesting to be liked but sadly they’ll usually always be secondary to what came before. That’s the most likely scenario Now if your making a new character with they’re own legacy & mantle or taking a legacy character and giving them they’re own identity, legacy and mantle then the potential goes up especially with good writing and storytelling. There’s a reason Dick Grayson got more popular when as the first Robin he became Nightwing, or Jason Todd The Second Robin became The Redhood, even Tim Drake The Third Robin becoming Red Robin, or Barbara as Batgirl becoming Oracle. You could most likely have the potential to tell great stories with them in The Batman mantle with a legacy theme but if you try to write that they stay there forever people will loose interest & eventually they’ll just want Bruce Wayne back as Batman. Because he is The Batman. “As the indefatigable 92-year-old superhero conjurer and Marvel Comics chairman emeritus sees it, fan backlash up until this point hasn't so much been spurred on by racism as much as unyielding fealty to the source material. "They're outraged not because of any personal prejudice, Lee says. "They're outraged because they hate to see any change made on a series and characters they had gotten familiar with. In Spider-Man, when they got a new actor, that bothered them, even though it was a white actor. I don't think it had to do with racial prejudice as much as they don't like things changed.” “I wouldn't mind. if Peter Parker had originally been black. a Latino, an lndian or anything else that he stay that way. But we originally made him white. I dont see any reason to change that. It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that. Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it's so easy to add new characters.” - Stan Lee

[@joshualittle1479]

I do like the concept of someone being Spider-Man after Peter's death in some other universe, and I enjoyed the version of Miles I saw in the Spiderverse movie. I agree that they need to work harder to differentiate him as a character and a hero from Perter Parker. Miguel O'Hara doesn't strike me as a Peter wannabe. Kind of like how Terry McGinnis was a different kind of Batman than Bruce in Batman Beyond. They really have to do some more to give him his own iconic feel in my opinion.

[@trublgrl]

Some people need to be humiliated. It's the only way they learn.

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

All of this boils down to these guys just hating on Peter (or being told to hate him) because he's White and thinking Miles is owed his spot and popularity for being Black. None of this shit would happen if Miles were allowed to be his own character in the 616 universe now rather than Marvel trying so hard to replace Peter. His Ultimate story has weight where that version of Peter did die and Miles was handed a massive responsibility but in the mainline where Peter is still very much kicking, the best thing they could have done is just allow the kid to be his own damn thing but they constantly sell him on how he's 'Spiderman....BUT DIVERSE!' This is why I hate how these people handle non-White characters. In their hands, they're NOT characters. They're social statements. Miles could be a cool(er) character if he could be unhooked from the forced burden of being a walking social message for whatever the shit writer is obsessed with. Non-White characters are NOT protest props. Someone needs to tell these 'writers' this.

[@ExeErdna]

Get most of the Spiders out of NY. Leave NY for Peter and Eddie Let the others do their own thing in other cities and then create rogues and supporting cast for them too. Like how they had all the "Captain America" in different cities (which was also a shitshow) they can get out of NY. It's sad black people are basically saying JUST GIVE MILES AGENCY these fucks going "but he's better anyway as is"

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

@@ExeErdna That makes it even funnier once you think about it. They can't even get a variety of Spiders out to other cities that need heroes. They all have to be clumped together in New York as if that's the only area where super hero stories can happen so you end up with a glut of the same hero type in the same area. And yes, you can argue that they could fight in 'neighborhoods' but even then when the only thing separating a neighborhood is a single block, you got too many damn spiders in the same damn place.

As a fan of Ghost Rider, I know a thing or two about two versions of a character being pretty much the same but with a different name.

Virtue Signallers for Miles suck because they do not look at any hindsight that Marvel themselves wasted 10 years keeping him in Peter's Shadow no matter what. Sure the movie and game did him justice because they made him human which is something the comics refuse to do. It kinda reminds of Damian Wayne and how he's kept this 4 foot nothing runt eventhough everybody around him gotten older.
