I didn't have much of an attachment to Ted, but that was basically my gripe with Miles.

Yeah, but that's a blow that's softened at least somewhat by the fact that it wasn't the mainline character, so you're not going to get as much "You killed off Peter Parker after 40 years to cram this other person into the suit? I now hate you and will hate this new character forever!"

I get that you personally may have been more attached to the Ultimates version (and I'm sure the same was true for any number of people), but you're not going to get the same level of mainstream hate heat.

It's the same reason why they were able to get away with ridiculous stuff like making Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch incest jokes canon, having Peter cloned as a sexy lady, or killing off or radically retconning characters every few months. "It's Ultimate, so it doesn't count" sums up a lot of that mentality. It's almost like an Elseworlds/What If? scenario. Just one that ran for 10 years.
