Truly, we are ALL Spider-Man.
Truly, we are ALL Spider-Man
I got up and walked out like five minutes later
Everyone takes it the wrong way.
It's clearly meant as a Ratatoille "Spider-man can't be everyone, but a Spider-man can come from anywhere" type thing
Peak white male nerd culture is getting angry that the superhero who is supposed to represent the underdog and average Joe type character is being represented by people other than one specific type of person.
I see at last. The real Spider-Man were the friends we made along the way.
No, Spider-man is Peter Parker.
This.
There are a lot of 'everyman' heroes where having different people inhabit the mantle here and there makes sense.
Unironically yes.
I'm surprised I didn't hear more noise on here when Spiderman Noir and Peni Parker had their actual issues.
Is there an archive of when Gerard Way's issue was first announced?
Let's go, Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse
So inspiring (;﹏;)
>Spiderman is about an ny soap oprea focused on the youth of said setting
holy thicc
My word
fucking coomers...
I am mad because they made a story about how Spider-man is a brand, and consoomers eat it up while using sjw-tier lingo to bash anyone who criticizes it.

I would say your point is a bit focused on one aspect and missing the forest for a tree.
Spider-man has been, for some time now, an icon of heroism and super heroes in general. He is, after all, the most popular super hero in the world.
So Spider-verse does what the Lego and Lego Batman movie do (and what Lord and Miller seem to really enjoy doing) which is examine something holistically in its cultural context.
I can understand if you sort of prefer Spider-man to just be a singular character in a story rather than something bigger than that though. Having that 'icon' status comes with a lot of cultural baggage.
It seems something like the PS4 Spider-man game is probably more your speed, since it's laser-focused on the Peter Parker character
> "Spider-man can't be everyone, but a Spider-man can come from anywhere"
That message doesn't quite work when so many specifics makes spider-man who he is
>Be randomly bitten by super spider
>Survive the bite and not mutate too far into man spider
>Develop web shooters
>Make a high quality luchador themed costume
>Survive encounters with villains like electro and sandman
>Have the wit for distracting quips
It's not like a green lantern ring that can seek out someone worthy
I feel like noir, pig and animoo spiderman didnt add much to the movie.
wouldve been fine with the first three only
boy i sure love going to the theatre and watching a movie and imagining a college student who would hate my guts if he knew me projecting himself into the story because one of the characters is black
I agree. It isn't that you can be spider-man, it's that you can be a hero like spider-man.
Silence, woman
Costume and surviving is not exactly specific to spiderman
wit is common quality of street smarts
Nobody wants to fucking admit that this is Marvel AND Sony bumblefucking their way forward because Miles Morales was an absolute mistake but they can't get rid of him without making black people mad.
>well shit, Bendis made this black teenage Spider-Man because of his black adopted kids
>but now Bendis is gone
>we still have to deal with Miles
>we can't get rid of him
>what do we do?
>we just say that Spider-Man isn't unique
>we dilute and water down the entire idea of Spider-Man
>even though Spider-Man's entire existence is due to some extremely unique circumstances in Peter Parker's particular life
>Nope! We have to say that Spider-Man is some universal, omnipresent thing
>we have to do that, because the alternative is zapping a black character out of existence
It's like when Shia LeBeouf got called out for plagiarism, and his response was to have a mental breakdown and invent an entire artistic philosophy, all as an alternative to admitting that he was in the wrong.
That's where Marvel is. Miles Morales IS A MISTAKE. He only exists because of Bendis' fucking stupidity and his desire to please his black adopted kids. But Marvel can't dare admit this and just do the right thing, which would be to kill Miles and delete him from existence. So they keep bumblefucking their way forward, ruining and destroying everything good about Spider-Man in the process.
God I hate Brand-Man so fucking much. Every single Spider-Man property got poisened by this shit and I can't escape having multiple Spider-Men exist in one world now. As long as you belong to the brand(TM), you can also achieve greatness.
The Spider-Verse idea goes back to the 90s cartoon, maybe further.
Spiderwoman is leggy lamb
Delete Peter instead.
Zig Forums is just Zig Forums now.
No, it's getting angry that the superhero who is supposed to represent the underdog average Joe character and his stories keep being sidelined so that this very obvious and acknowledged point of his can keep being hammered in unnecessarily with ever more marginalized demographics, which is just shit writing on an objective level. You'll know what we are talking about once your favorite Spider-Brand gets replaced with a trans Down syndrome disabled gay sentinelese tribesman Spider hero.
>the superhero who is supposed to represent the underdog and average Joe type character
You mean Pete? The super-genius nerd outcast that all woman love?
>is being represented by people other than one specific type of person.
Well considering Spider-man is supposed to be a unique identity and not a job title like, say, Green Lantern, then yea.
It's like having a league of Silver Surfers, Ocean Thirty, the group of 30 Hydro-s or the Triclops, three people who each call themselves Cyclops.
And this is from a character who has a legacy (Miguel who's in the far future... usually) plus a legacy (Mayday) plus literal clones (Ben and Kaine... sometimes Jessica Drew) who already exist.
Spider-man isn't just a power-set you slap on someone for instant fame or a brand to be franchised. It's Pete's secret identity.
Who dropped all this salt?
