I don't think it's a matter of "realism" so much as just the actual experience and effect it had on the characters. It was different for both Peter and Miles but they shouldn't have the same kind of high school experience, but it's a factor for both characters.
I think it's more the other way around where Gwen Stacy is Miles' most popular love interest (that is if we're not separating the Gwen's into different characters).Well Miles is now Gwen Stacy's most popular love interest these days. So why not? And besides, in Bendis' Ultimate run, Peter's cast occassionally did cross paths and helped Miles. MJ was like a big sister to him who Miles came to ask about dating advice.
And JJJ being on podcast wouldn't be major.
I know Miles kind of took over Ultimate Peter's supporting cast more or less...but I was looking at it more from a 616 perspective. It's just weird to me.
I'd hate to lose those Jonah podcasts...although if this is like the DLC, we might only get like 2 or 3.
A Kingsley nod is far more likely then getting the Hobgoblin before we get the Green Goblin. This isn't one of the cartoons.That might happen too, yeah. You know if they want to do a gangland storyline, it might also be cool to bring in Hobgoblin/Roderick Kingsley. He's not big enough to be a Spider-Man villain in a game/movie but he's the right size to threaten Miles Morales/Spider-Man. And hey if you want a Trump analogue for a black Spider-Man to beat up (as in ITSV) then a lying scheming plagiarizing conman who dresses in orange is not a bad choice.
I know the game acknowledged the Avengers as a nod to their own game, but I just don't see them factoring into the plot of a Spider-Man game. Peter might just be injured enough to where it might take him a few days to heal, giving Miles enough time to be Spider-Man.Thing is Peter Parker is Spider-Man with a great healing factor and determination/tenacity. If Spider-Man is sick and so Miles has to take over, then he has to be "at death's door" to make it so that Miles has to take over. There's no way that Peter would allow Miles to endanger himself if it was some kind of flu.
So Avengers team-up makes most sense. It's simple, not too dramatic, and allows us to focus on Miles. I can of course be wrong.
I agree they can, independently.
Miles main character premise is taking over from a dead Peter Parker and Gwen is supposed to be the only Spider-Hero of her world.
I think there's a difference between mentoring some high school kids in your civilian identity and mentoring teen Superheroes wearing your likeness. One could lend itself to another but that isn't really what happened in terms of the actual franchise narrative.I also don't think it's that far off from where Peter was pre-OMD. Peter The Science Teacher was already in a mentor role. Other people were already learning from him that 'with great power comes great responsibility' ('great power' doesn't just apply to superpowers, after all).
Even without the representation issue, having more than one Spider-Man was the next logical step IMO.
This is kind of what I assumed at first, but the advertising was incredibly deceptive.
I guess the length will probably be a little more then some of the DLC stories.
