Why did they waste it? People were liking it. It could have probably went toe to toe with DC's Absolute.
>>155668236They couldnt Absolute batman is 6'7 and weighs 420
>>155668236Because Spider-editorial were fuming it was selling better than the 616 Spidey books and proving them wrong, they would rather cut off their nose to spite their face.
>>155668236>Asking why SpiderOffice did retarded thingWe need to go over this again?
>Expecting Hickman to produce a good comicLOLLMAO
>>155668236It didn't really do anything interesting, compared to Absolute.
The gimmick was a cancer that ate the run and it was never meant to be everlasting despite how much people want an alternative to the current nonsense.
>>155668236All they had was the premise for USM. Everything else was a scramble.
>>155668270On the other hand they were thrilled that USM proved that Peter becomes more useless every time he ejaculates inside MJ, which justifies keeping them apart in 616.
>>155668236Because it was editorial but less >>155668270 and more that they have notoriously shit planning. Ultimate suffered because they pushed to have the "le real time" gimmick attached to the imprint, so stories weren't afforded any proper legs. Want stories of Ultimate Peter actually growing into the role? Too bad, we gotta blast through this shit because it'll totally be a worthwhile gimmick
>>155668760Okay but that's all stuff you can sort of fix. You can drop the real time gimmick going forward.
>>155668911They absolutely need to when Ultimate comes back.
>>155668236Because Hickman hates writing actual characters instead of the usual super smart morally neutral guy.
I still remember all the shipping between Richard and Valeria
>>155668236Hickman clearly just wanted to write Harry instead.
It was still aimed at dorks rather than trying to reach the manga audience.
It wasn't "wasted," all the talent who were doing the books wanted out except Deniz Camp. No one actually liked these stories, they just liked the "potential" and Endgame was a brutal reality call.>>155668270Absolute cope.
