people have said that miles would replace peter ever since his introduction in 2011

it's 2023 and peter is still the main spiderman

think it's time for you to get over it at this point

tbh, the whole situation at this point is just weird, but at least Miguel O'Hara is finally getting appearances, so... step in the right direction?

Otherwise, the claim that 'people said Miles was going to replace Peter Parker in 2011' is misleading because he DID replace Parker, who was killed off to bring Miles in almost immediately -- iirc, the promotional material came out within weeks of Ultimate Spidey's death. And Miles was intended to bring in a more diverse readership, which didn't really work and the poor handling of Ultimate Parker's sendoff just further alienated parts of the readership. Although it's hard to blame Miles alone for the failure of the Ultimates continuity because they'd done so many stupid things and, technically speaking, the Ultimates continuity influenced the MCU which has been financially successful.

I'm not sure it's "gullible" to like a better character better than a worse character. Like if I baked you two chocolate cakes, one of which had chunks of horse testicle mixed into it, you're not "gullible" for preferring the version without nuts. That's just liking a better thing better.

Peter Parker is objectively the better character, but you do you.
