I like to hate read this so that my complaints are up to date and informed, and I'm inflicting it on you as well
>>147138544Bump if you're reading
>still pretending that Ultimate Venom is a big deal to Miles>when the only thing he ever did to Miles has been undone for longer than it was around
He's just like Spider-man, except he has electric powers, can turn invisible, can produce energy web, is an avatar of a spider god, is a vampire and has a vibranium suit. All the good things that made Peter so popular
Why is Shift even around anymore?
>random powerups are my burden>I can't inflict them on anyone else
>What If? Miles Morales was Black Panther
I remember someone saying that Ziglar was damage controlling about Anansi actually being the patron of all Spider-Men and that Miles wasn't being treated like he was special. Guess that was a lie
If you liked that support your LCS or whatever
This series has been okay, better than ASM and Gwen's.
>>147138551bump, fellow Miles hater
>>147138744I would use the word mediocre but you're right with the comparisons, not that it says much. It gets carried a lot by the art, the actual plot and especially the dialog are either middling or straight up bad
>>147138744It's not hard to be better than current ASM, but Miles' ongoings are just... nothing. It's just random powerups, guest appearances, anime references and new suits to appear in future games.
>>147138703Miles' Aunt Nancy seems like a jerk.
>>147138601they should have Ultimate Venom re-kill his mom
>>147138569He can turn white now? Finally, a useful power!
>>147138630vorebait
>>147138613>Why is Shift even around anymore?It feels like they might be building towards a "Shift wants to replace Miles because he wants the life Miles has" storyline.Make Shift into Miles' Chasm
>>147140929That's what I think too and that's really fucking lame
>>147139022Miles is the Spider-man for dbz fans. I'm sure they are creaming themselves over this run
>>147138744yepstill crap tho
>>147138559I forgot that all black superheroes are on a first name basis with the king of a foreign ethnostate
>>147138544I appreciate your commitment to your hate. Some anons around here half ass it.
>>147138544It's better than Nu-USM.
>>147138601It wasn't even a real Ultimate Venom. Just a shitty knockoff attached to some no-name asshole that died at the end of its arc.Because Bendis forgot all about the OG Ultimate Venom after he raped one good thing he's done with a shittier retelling.
>>147138703So this Anansi guy is a villain, right? He screams villainy just by seeing him.
Man that was shit
>>147140929That would be too much conflict for Miles. He's just going to be a family member.
>>147146808Fuck off already. There's nothing to discuss here. Post best trio now.
>>147138601The pain of losing his mom is still there, right? I'm fine with this. Ziglar acknowledging Miles' two other big writers with the most traumatic moments of those two runs is the right move.
>>147147864It’s retarded to cling to the ultimate stuff considering that’s a decade old and two universe back. It’s just a mishmash of bland ideas designed to push banal action that goes nowhere. Miles has over 300 issues and we have no idea when he actually got his powers in the grand scheme of the overarching story. Hes just around and better than in universe Peter, and that’s about it
>>147147944The ultimate stuff is literally his origin. This isn't like DC where the entire history is retconned. The OG Ultimate Universe died Molecule Man resurrected his family and folded them into Earth 616.
>>147144325>He screams villainy just by seeing him.Anon you're just being racist
>>147147989That doesn’t mean it’s good anon. It just proves that miles isn’t a character with a story, he’s just a DEI hire written by a jew that fetishizes black people
>>147144325More like an antagonist
>>147147989Yes but Miles literally can't remember any of it, his dad's not a racist anymore, his mom's not dead, all his friends got ported over. Like Miles doesn't remember Ultimate desu.
>>147148072What do you mean? He referenced it earlier this run and he referenced it in the Saladin run.
>>147138601hey isn't it crazy how 2/3 of these guys are just fucking dead
>literally attaching bullshit mystic stuff on top of Miles wankWhy? Spider Totem was fucking stupid, why do Spider Totem again???
>>147148099Okay then I'm lacking critical information. Did he start remembering Ultimate again? Because I thought the part of it was Miles retroactively always existed in 616.
>>147148129Yeah. Read the Miles stuff. It's not mentioned often, but it's mentioned consistently.
>>147138544Based Miles fan poster.Thanks for storytime anon.
>>147141265It’s dope as fuck. However, they doing my girl Lana so dirty.Shift and Ganke make a good duo though.I like so many waifus the comic has set up: Rabble, Gust, Hightail, Agent Gai, Straling, Bloodline, Misty, Rio, etc
>>147148215His knowledge of it all started to fade with time, but the origin itself didn't change. It's not a retcon, its more like the universe scabbed over.
>>147148275But that means his entire 616 life is the retcon and one that has no rhyme or reason.
>>147148362>ret·con>the act, practice, or result of changing an existing fictional narrative by introducing new information in a later work that recontextualizes previously established events, characters, etc.By definition it's not a retcon, no.
>>147148275That sounds disturbing. Especially if someone else is able to remember you from a past life.
>>147148478Anon the current canon of how he got his name is he was fighting robots with Pete and told him he was spiderman now. How is that not a retcon? Everything about the IDEA of a literal god grafting his friends and family into a new universe is a literal description of what a retcon is
I like spider totemApparently there are anons here who want to see ultimate venom again lol why its not even alien its some weird monster made as medicine somehow or something
>>147148711The ultimate spider-man game was really good
>>147148584DC is better at playing with that. Characters are constantly having existential crises after getting dumped on new composite worlds where they don't exist or got replaced by a newer younger model. Marvel barely cares about it. The X-Men always have a couple of alt-timeline or alt-earth characters hanging around all happy like they didn't lose everything and everyone they ever loved.
>>147148611What issue?
>>147148757I have no idea it’s in one of the early bendis issues when he was glommed onto the mainline universe
blegh
>>147149918We were all fine with the thread dying anon
>>147148274Someday there will be a story where a time-traveling good guy appears and Lana assumes that is her child with Miles, but isn't. Maybe even with a fakeout like a civilian name of Lily or something that matching the "theme" she has with her mother.
>>147148737I liked this series
>>147148737This was a nice Little series. Outsiders most recent volume
>>147147864>The pain of losing his mom is still there, right?I mean, no not really. For a long time Miles forgot it happened (apparently), and he barely remembers it now.
>>147147989It's not though. He does in fact have a retconned 616 origin that justifies why he does the things he does IN UNIVERSE. And we've never seen it, not fully.They still don't know how to justify some random kid getting spider powers deciding "yeah I'll be Spider-Man too actually, the original can and will deal with me taking his name" so they refuse to elaborate
>>147148757Spider-Man (2016) #2
Does Spidey need an electric sword?
>>147150914As a goofy action figure to sell, yes. But not as a new power to try and make your uncool Spider-Man cool.
