I always found Elmyra pretty depressing because she genuinely loved those animals, didnt know she was hurting them, and couldn't understand why they always died or ran away. She was not an Elmer Fudd

Well, what made it less depressing IMO is that she would so quickly move on to the next animal, because in her eyes they were kind of like toys. It puts an innocent spin on her dangerous behavior, unlike Elmer who just outright wants to shoot Bugs & Daffy lol

How do you make a kid version of a dimwitted, gun-wielding hunter who has little regard for the lives of animals? Turn him into a ditzy, overbearing lover of animals who doesn't even realize her affection is literally killing them. Two opposite attitudes; both equally threatening.

Too bad she probably won't be the same in the reboot, if she appears at all

if it makes you feel better, with the way New Blood ended, his name will most likely be cleared.

That actually does make me feel better. Doakes being used as the scapegoat for Dexter's bullshit never sat well with me. His image was so tarnished that nobody (besides a few loved ones) even showed up to his funeral, and some of his allies died without ever learning the truth. Always hated that. Doakes was a jerk, but still a morally upstanding guy who definitely didn't deserve such a cruel fate.

As another poster mentioned, MCU Peter is basically just Miles. Goes to a school for the gifted, Asian best friend, has to prove himself to other more established heroes, etc. Spiderverse had to change his personality up a bit to differentiate him from Peter even more.

Wow! That's pretty enlightening.

This seems more a complaint about mantle-passing in super hero franchises than anything specific about miles (who isn't that similar to peter imo, all that they really share is being an altruistic nice guy). I see nothing wrong with the passing of a mantle onto a protg, it makes more sense than not having a character change for 80 years.

Both Peter and Miles start off as brilliant but somewhat socially awkward teenagers who become superheroes of the cheeky and wisecracking variety. I don't mind stories that entertain the idea of someone else taking up the mantle of Spider-Man, but if they're just gonna be "Peter Parker but darker", where's the novelty? If the novelty IS the fact that Miles is black, then to me, that just feels kind of lazy and unimaginative. I'd rather Miles's Spidey be meaningfully distinct from Peter's, as opposed to just feeling like a knockoff.

@Guide

Heroes having similar personalities can be found across the board, but when one of those heroes is basically just a spin-off of the original with the only notable catch being that they fill a token role, then it kinda just feels like a corporate cash grab. Again, using Terry McGinnis as an example, he wasn't just Batman with a new face; he was a kid (which was novel since Batman's always been well into his adulthood) with a much less cynical outlook on life, and the adventures took place in a more technologically advanced era. It played with the idea of "What will become of Batman when Bruce is too old? Who will protect Gotham then?" That made it feel fresh in a way that actually requires some thought and creative effort.

Well to be clear, I don't mind that he's "Black Spidey" so much as I mind that the writers don't really do anything distinctly different with him. He's very similar to Peter Parker, but just a different race. Feels kind of pander-y. If that was gonna be the case, he might as well have just been his own type of hero.

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.

besides being a black Spidey? I don't see what makes him unique, or sets him apart in a note-worthy way from Peter Parker. When I look at Terry McGinnis, for example, I can see that they were going for a younger, less broody Batman with futuristic tech. But Miles just feels tokenized from top to bottom. Similar age, personality, etc. as regular Spider-Man, but plot twist: he's black.

Am I missing something?
