Topic	So what exactly is the appeal of Miles Morales...
superman 2000 01/11/22 1:22:07 PM #22:	Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... How about the impact of being a young black man in New York and dealing with all of that beyond also being a superhero? Like yeah Peter Parker's Spider-Man character already had to deal with hero work in a city where some people hate him, but he never dealt with racism and the juxtaposition between being a hero and saving people who are potentially racist to you. Being black is definitely a part of his story and depending on the writer plays a huge part in his stories. That's nice and all, but it's riding the coattails of Spider-Man instead of having its own identity, so it still feels lazy and unimaginative. Why not just make Miles Morales a unique/original hero? You can still accomplish everything you just said, but with the added bonus of being completely fresh. Feline_Heart posted... Like 90% of Marvel characters are based in New York I actually didn't know that lol. I retract that particular complaint then. ScazarMeltex posted... To non New Yorkers it looks that way. To people from New York Queens and Brooklyn are essentially two different cities. Fair enough. --- I don't hold grudges. Let's vehemently argue today and casually have a beer together tomorrow. <cite>superman 2000 posted [p:961661312] in So what ex...
