What Are You're Thoughts On The New Spider-Man?

Question

I mean Miles Morales. Everybody seems to be mad because he's black, but no ones saying anything about the information that he's possibly gay. I have no trouble with these traits, actually I don't understand why people are complaining other than the fact that the character Peter Parker's gone. I mean we do need more other minority superheroes, and even though out of all minority superheroes most of them are black, they aren't a lot of them and plus the aren't very popular. Plus he's hispanic too, and to be honest I can't name another mixed superhero at the time without them being mixed with alien. Anyway what's your thoughts on the character

Answer 1

In simple terms: It's a Bendis thing, and he does this. It's what I find most repugnant about him, both as a writer and a bad influence on other writers.



The reason the Ultimate Marvel Universe, as such, didn't have a story in terms of why he showed up and why he died really is what it appears to be--Millar wanted as little to do with torpedoing that title as possible. Nothing less and nothing more. It wasn't even a character arc--it was your typical, phoned-in Plot Hammer, thanks to the Bendis/Quesada Regime, with a side order of Politically Correct. Bendis himself hinted at this quite often from day one--that Parker wasn't going to survive his 18th birthday, that he wasn't going to live long enough for Nick Fury to use him.



It's a plot hammer, not a real narrative. Ditto with MM--he's a plot hammer, a reversed male Mary Sue, and not a real character. He's a cipher designed to hit buttons and provoke stereotyping. I've never seen anything more cynical in my life--and that includes _Brand New Day_. Congratulations, Bendis, you've out-sucked Quesada.



You'd think the fans would get fed up with this. You'd think more people would just walk away.



Because the truth is: Peter Parker needed to retire from active heroics ages ago. He did. Spider-Man as character only really works when he's young. There's no question of that: As an adult you really can't be that emo, and that reliant on part-time work. In the real world we call men like that losers and worse. And there's no question that Parker himself was metrosexual if not a deeply closeted bisexual--not something he admits to because his aunt would kill him in _either_ universe, but once the mask goes on, he's flaming and air-humping whatever moves, quite literally.



So what I'm saying is: Ok, yes, this sort of thing needed doing. Absolutely. But there's a right way to do this.



Spider-Man is NOT a damned disposable C-lister. He's not someone you can just _replace_ by plot hammer and plot hammer alone. You really do have to do this the right way--actually have a narrative and write the damned thing and actually make it work.



Not that 21st century Marvel Comics gives a damn, but hey.

Answer 2

I don't care that he's black, hispanic, or whatever. I don't even object to the idea that once Brian Bendis was done with the book, he decided to kill off U. Peter and introduce a replacement Spider-Man.



What I resent is that Marvel took what was a quality line of comics and stopped investing quality talent into it. Then, when sales dropped, they went about dismantling everything except the Ultimates, the only books they still had primo talent working on. And they did it, again, without quality artists, other than those Ultimates related titles. Then, when the time came to do the same with Spider-Man, they didn't even have the decency to kill him off in a story that he had anything to do with. He just shows up at the end of Ultimate Avengers vs. the New Ultimates and dies. Not a word about what he was doing there. It was as if Millar, the writer, wanted to have as little to do with this cowardly homicide as possible.



Can you not see how this seems designed to tick off every Ultimate Spider-Man Fan?

Answer 3

Its not because hes black even if he was someone else like if he was white i would still hate it because I grow up listerning to Perter Parker as Spiderman he was amazing and now hes dead and some black kid come out of know where. I understand if Spidey has a son and he becomes the next spiderman I get that but I just dont like the idea of a new Spidy.
