:WHAT!:@ the balded, why not just use you know... Peter Parker instead of completely re-writing another character:snoop:

The characters are not clones of each other(when is a second version of a character ever?), Miles Morales is a spinoff character of Peter-Parker/Spider-Man the same way Robin is with Batman. You need one before the other.

Like I said in the previous post this is about payoff, the trademark Spider-Man that everyone knows wants to see is Peter Parker, the payoff is with the character crossing over and joining The Avengers down the line, it won't work with Miles Morales, Ben Reilly or Incarnation X, this isn't an unknown character, this is Marvel's top dog and the top superhero character in the world. You think anyone wants to see Jean Paul Valley as Batman going up against The Joker in a movie and then leading The Justice League in another?:scust:
Exactly :russ: Starting off with Miles would be like having a Flash movie with Wally instead of Barry.

i think I said the reasons earlier. Do you really NEED one before the other or is that just your preference? What would happen if they tell an origin story leaving out PP? It's impossible to do? The movie would bomb?
I disagree about some PP payoff. He's had 5 movies. If that were the case they should have just kept Garfield. Now they want to make him a teenager again? Tell and Aunt May/Uncle Ben story again, gwen or MJ story again? That's what people want to see? I'm not so sure.

You can tell those stories with those characters in several different ways. Gwen is more than likely out at this point, but there's MJ, there's Liz, there's Sally Avril, there's Betty Brant if you want to do a romance story and even then I'm betting the focus won't be on the romance as hard and go for more of an even split. There are always good Peter Parker stories to tell and just because you go back to high school doesn't mean you do the origin again

It's obvious that if they go with Miles Morales it won't be due to the lack of Peter Parker content to guide them. But the fact that it could possibly go either way is HUGE. In a perfect world I would like to see Peter Parker first and then Miles Morales due to the fact the a big portion of Miles Morales is living up the mantle of Spiderman and the impact Peter Parker has already had on the universe and Miles. So like I said in another thread, the only way I can really see Miles working is if Peter Parker is used first or if Peter Parker/Spiderman has already existed in the past.

Still if we are going back to high school. We will get our 3rd Peter Parker, our 3rd Aunt May possibly our 3rd Uncle Ben. That's just confusing and redundant. You can avoid having to rehash any of this by just going with MM. And we are going to introduce love interests who are lower tier to Gwen and MJ?! Why?! That's just bending over backwards to keep PP in the mix.

fukk you fakkit c00n. Are you Asian :heh: There are millions of us who wanna see Miles. He's the future of Spidey on the big screen :win: Go c00n elsewhere.

#TeamMiles We gotta contact these nikkas and make sure they make the change. Is Robinson Cano too old to play Miles :lupe:

You won't get a 3rd uncle ben. And they aren't lower tier breh. Liz Allen is an important part of his history, as is betty brant, not as important as MJ or Gwen but still important, and it's about the writing because any good writer can make any character important. Liz Allen in spectacular spider man is extremely important and fully fleshed out and the way she and Peter get together is a good story, makes sense, and it's heartbreaking when he breaks up with her and earned.

To assume that any and everything will be redundant is also assuming that the writer or writers won't have any new tricks up their sleeve or that Marvel and Sony can't collectively make a good story. Spectacular spider-man told a story of him in high school with an Aunt May but only referenced Ben on and off and made him the focal point of an episode but it was understood at this point that if you're watching the spider-man cartoon, you understand the history of the character well enough to know how important Ben will always be to the story. Even to this day in the comics, Ben continues to be important. So to say it's redundant or to say it's bending over backwards to keep a 50 year old character and their most popular character in the mix is short sighted. As with anything in film or tv or literature, it's all about the writing. A good writer can make anything sing

Foh. Its not about being a c00n. I'm just old school. I came into the game with Peter was Spidey and I think it should stay that way.

You don't see DC trying to put some that ain't Clark lent as superman.

Breh, cacs have already had their day in the sun. It's our turn now. fukk em.

And when Man of Steel was casting, I wanted LeBron to be Clark Kent, Chris Rock to play Jonathan Kent, and Rihanna to play Lois Lane :manny: They missed a golden opportunity, tbh.
