DMC series is the only example I've seen of a passing of a torch from first main character to new main character and it being done in a not-super shitty way, with most fans ultimately liking it

spiderman? shitstorm
prototype? fucking retarded
assassisn creed series doesnt count ig since none of the games titular characters actually meet each other to pass the torch

They sort of do it with Ezio but he was already far more popular than Altair even after one game. And then they gave up on Desmond. lol.

are you referring to elizabeth? she gets murked doesnt she, and consumed after becoming a big sphincter in 1

what we really needed in 2 was pic rel, they built him up fucking perfectly, the transcripts about pariah being held in a top secret facility, the details about entire bodies of personnel going missing in his chambers, no blood, no clothes,, just fuckign gone, all this while he's still just a kid, they even drop a direct line iirc, goes like "if pariah and zeus ever meet, shits gonna get fucked up the a" pariah was the mirror to zeus, a virus born instead of one artificially made, but nope, le angry black man

I hate Miles. Not because he's a nigger, but because EVERY SINGLE MAJOR STORY he has is about how he is a good Spider-Man and it's always in detriment of Peter. He can't just be a good Spidey, he has to be better than Peter and that's just annoying. Can't he prove his worth without the writers shitting all over Peter?
>>
>>738244154
it's hack writing 101 - when you introduce a new main character you make sure to portray previously established competent hero as a buffoon.
>>
>>738244154
>Can't he prove his worth without the writers shitting all over Peter?
is there a single example of this even in his comics? the entire philosophy behind miles to me just seems to be peter parker but cooler and black

hes like gwenpool but worse
his dlc seemed pretty standalone in showing his merits and character as spiderman but doesnt it also include Peter getting his ass fucking destroyed by rhino, a guy he tussles with every 2nd day of the week and was handling with the sinister six solo in the main game

rhino bitch slaps peter easily then miles tank hit after hit and has a whole epic clash with rhino sending him flying, felt a little weird to me

another reason why I liked the transition in dmc4 and 5, theres only 1 real good way to have a passing of the torch between 2 vidya mcs and have it not be too controversial
new character to take over from the og? have dante show up and SSStyle on nero in both cutscenes and gameplay just to remind the player of the pecking order
they had neros backhanding him in 5 but that was alright since it was after his whole fight with vergil, and they play it off well with dante tapping out in his typical cavalier attitude instead of acting like hes on death doorstep needing nero to step in, like what they did with peter

the japs got torch passing down to an artform
>>
>>738243759
snake to raiden was another good one

>>738243759

Nigga people hated the fuck out of nero in dmc4, that was one of its biggest criticisms. People hated his chapters eating up Dante time.

I dont read or keep up with capeshit, but why was there a need for peter to step down as spiderman in the first place? He seems fine.

They genuinely wrote peter feeling old and worn with the hero life as if hes not still in his mid 20s
>>
>>738243124
I'm sure Insomniac or maybe Sweet Baby assumed Peter would be old news by now and they'd go to making Spider-Man games that were all Miles all the time. SM2 was fucking awful, and many of his parts are standout horrible to the point making a Miles game would be throwing money away.

Miles isn’t even black hes a mutt. Puerto Rican/black hybrid who occasionally uses spanish slang but also can’t somehow understand spanish. Everyone forgets that and just assigns him the black label including Marvel.

He is Bendis' pet character and is just a worse Static Shock expy that cannibalizes all of Peter's storylines.
>>738244510
>Like Gwenpool but worse
I think I hear angry screaming off in the distance, possibly from the fanbase of a niche character that got mildly popular only to instantly get fed into money burning shredder of Miles Morales crossovers that have no real idea what the character is about other than that it is called Gwenpool.
>>738251639
Eventually new Peter adaptations will start with him cursing the toll of his double life and hanging up the cowl before his origin story has even fully happened. It will be considered the lamest wrestling kayfabe to have ever happened and he'll get his first real costume from his co-wrestlers husband.

Its just funny how they wanted and expected Miles to appeal to the inner city youths, but Miles is just the opposite of what they are.

it would be darkly humorous if she got morbidly curious about how bad her own writing could possibly get and quietly encouraged the writers to do their worst to her on the belief she could just rip out all the bad writing when it got to bad

if there were any comic book writers left that were sufficiently self aware and tolerant of criticism you could even make a pretty good story about that highlighting the state of modern day comic books

Imagine shitting all over established IPs just for the sake of extremely poorly written black/female/trans characters that only cause fatigue for these characters in the long run.
We've had so many poorly written DEI characters that it's only leading to a greater interest than ever in just having everyone be a white man. Talk about dropping the ball.

spiderman writers are all hacks who think suffering makes a character relatable
comic book writers in general are utter hacks, there's a good reason that even as ridiculously huge as the MCU was, it never even once helped comic book sales because the comic storylines while the MCU was at it's biggest were baffling in their sheer terribleness

The mental gymnastics they did to explain how he had a Spanish black name but having a fully 100% black father was hilarious though.

Yes. The Superman crossover actually had an entire segment devoted to the DC writers just completely shitting on him.

If they made a good character and just made them black or female I think they'd get a lot more success.
The problem is they start from the opposite end and say
>lets make a black character and have everything we write about him be about how he's black
when there's nothing interesting about that concept.
>>
>>738259898
the really super hilarious thing is, they could have kept all this explanation by instead making him of Brazilian heritage
it's such a complex mix of every race possible you could legit have a dad who looks fully black, a mom who looks fully white and the kid comes out somehow looking mexican

Because the way they wrote MJ and Miles, and how the universe bends around them is the root cause of all the game's problems. It's just everything wrong with ESG and sweetbaby inc influence bundled into one game. There's a point where the Spider-Man game stops so you can play as Miles' deaf girlfriend while she tags a wall.

You're not going to get a more perfect example of a game being pozzed

At work so can't get it, but he's on a blind date with Power Girl who makes it clear it's completely miserable listening to him talk, and ends with her deciding to ditch him to on a night on the town with Frank Castle. The only reason she was there was because some villains mistookhim for Vandal Savage and were trying to kill him.
>>
>>738258894
Bendis does a lot of stupid things, but it's reasonable to make an alternate "what if Peter died" storyline and they made some good decisions about what happens next. It was very possible to just keep following comics where Peter was alive and not give a fuck about the Miles comics. He went from kind of interesting to stupid when he was right next to Peter and people started wondering why the fuck he's doing anything when Peter could just do it better.

It doesn't help that Miles is a super genius on par with Peter despite being less than half his age. But also he's a "cool" black kid who plays basketball and makes sick beats with his supervillain uncle. Miles was written by a white guy every step of the way and you can tell.

I'm sure there are people at Marvel banking on that, but kids will just watch/read older Spider-Man things because they're better, and even those who don't care much about Spider-Man have a steady supply of Tom Holland and Yuri Lowenthal content to keep them associating Peter with Spider-Man.
