What was the point of this character?

Even if you absolutely had to bring a token diversity character into the canon, Miguel was already a thing.
Could've easily just retconned him into Peter's sidekick instead of introducing an entirely new one. Plus, Miguel is just inherently more marketable than Miles seeing as every Spidey incarnation after him has incorporated a gadget focus while I've yet to see a single Peter Parker using electricity powers.

Brownie points.

Peter (now) and Miguel are both adults.

Miles is teen Spider-man. For the modern day. Pure and simple. That’s his niche. Peter can’t have teen problems and situations at his age anymore. It would be regression.

This

But are Miles' "teen problems" interesting enough to want to read about?

I don't think they are.

Neither are Spidergwen's.

No one really liked ir used Spiderman 2099.
And he was white with a Spanish first name. Not Latino.

Didn't boych about the spider clones and they almost fucking bankrupt marvel and killed the Spiderman ip.

so why are they so desparate for him to grow up? He's 18 in comics now.

>Peter (now) and Miguel are both adults.
Miguel is an adult a hundred years in the future. Just write some bullshit about how Miguel fought alongside Peter when he was young, took up the mantle of Spidey once Peter died, and eventually became immortal with nanomachines or some shit to justify how he's still active in 2099

Yes, they are. Because they are zoomer problems.

Unlike Pete, who with the sliding time scale, had boomer -> gen X -> and now millennial problems.

This is the dumbest response here. You must be trolling.

They tried to bring Miguel back and he didn't sale. Blame capitalism.

>Miles is teen Spider-man
Except Peter is still the teen Spider-Man in the vast majority of popular media

>And he was white with a Spanish first name. Not Latino.
He's half mexican. Just because he's not brown and wearing a Sombrero doesn't stop him from being latino

Putting him in college gives more narrative freedom than high school, same reason he very quickly stopped being an 8th grader after his debut.

He was a white guy with a Spanish name and you people only bring up his nonexistant Latin heritage because you need a point against miles.

zoomer problems include clones? It's all his stories are about nowadays

Expect that to change in another 10 years.

Especially as Holland’s Spider-Man ages in the films, to the general public.

>He's not latino because... he's just not, OK?

It would unironically be kino if Iron boy ends up becoming Spidey 2099

Your right.
If Miguel threads only exist to cry about another character, what does that mean for Miguel?
At least this thread is not like icon "fans" crying about a character that don't even exists outside of rumors.

God I remember when people were arguing that Miles only sold because his comic had Spider-Man in the title meanwhile Miguel was getting crumbs despite also being a Spider-Man book

Miles exists alongside Peter in the main continuity. Miguel's books are very blatantly marketed as spinoffs. It's like arguing Babs is a more popular Batman than Terry because she appears in way more shit.

>If Miguel threads only exist to cry about another character, what does that mean for Miguel?
Holy shit this, I only ever see Miguel brought up in the context of a discussion about Miles, never just on his own

Wow it will only take him 20 years to come into his own and that "his own" won't actually be his own, it will be another one in the long line of things he stole from the actually popular and successful original, I wish my OC donut steels got that kind of leeway.

She is more popular. No one really likes ripoff Spiderman 2099 and gross batman and Batgirl shenanigans are why the batman adventure timeline is dead and buried.

Since the turn of the century, Comic companies don’t want the “next generation” of an existing superhero to be the exact age/race/sex/orientation of the hero they’re emulating.

This is because of factors in marketing, franchising, grander reach of aesthetics and such.

This is why though Jon Kent looks like a younger Clark, they made him queer.

This is why Miles, the new teen Spider-man, isn’t a young white guy, like Peter was.

This doesn’t just extend to white guys either. There’s a reason Shuri was made to become the new Black Panther after T’Challa. Or why Blade now has a daughter. Or why Black Lightning has daughters and not sons.

If Barry Allen died today like he did in the 1980s, then it wouldn’t be white Wally replacing him.

There was a fucking fairly popular spiderman 2099 cartoon.
It didn't bump up the sales for 2099 much at all.

Miguel's book that ran at the same time as Miles' took place in 616

fpbp

That's retarded.
That doesn't actually work and....oh God.
That's why the multiverse thing is done now.
For both more knockoff versions of a character and giving the retards in charge what they think is carte blanche to do whatever they want.

>Nuuuuuuuu a light skinned son of Mexican woman and Irish man you a not latino
Why milesshills are such fucking trash?

>There was a fucking fairly popular spiderman 2099 cartoon.
That was a show about Peter Parker going to Counter-Earth. It wasn't a 2099 cartoon. It was no different than MCU Peter Parker using Miles' supporting cast.

Miguel was transfered to main the 616 universe before Miles Morales.

That wasnt 2099 and it was a turd that was canceled smack in the middle of a 2-parter.
God that show was fucking awful.
