    Phin feels a little redundant with Starling, unless they play her differently.

    I guess because they've never quite captured that magic again...

    I wonder if in the sequel to Spider-Verse if Miles is going to keep is spray paint spider symbol or go for the sleeker design in the comics, as he's going to be more seasoned and probably have access to more resources.
    "I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."

    As far as im concerned, while it did express Miles' individuality, it was also an on-the-fly job, he can't keep the logo's style, but i think he should graduate to a more legit suit.

    Exactly, just like he dropped the additional clothes to show development he'll make his own suit to show further development

    Take the name of the original and reverse it to name the clone. That is SO LAME!! Peter's clones were a little more original. I mean, none of Peter's clones ever thought to call themselves "Retep". Geez! This reminds me Disney's Gargoyles, where Goliath's clone was name "Thailog".

    It kinda gets a pass from me since Selim is an actual name as opposed to gibberish

    Still, the backward name is a lame resource.

    Well, to be honest, it took me years to realize the origin of Kaine's name. (Because the name is said different in my country). But anyway, "Kaine" is definitely better than "Retep".

    At least Kaine had thematic resonance, insofar as him being the "bad firstborn clone brother" who resented and wanted to kill his "good second-born clone brother." Nothing against Selim, though; they could have called him "Kilometers."

    I would argue Selim is also better than Retep :P

    Kaine has also had years to develop as a individual and character with relationships with others.Selim sounds like a bad kaine "clone".

    Funny thing, it could be a coincidence but there was an Ottoman Sultan known as "Selim the Grim" who killed his male relatives to remove any competition for the throne.

    Hmm, maybe that's what "Selim" will do here, both with the actual Miles and the other Miles clones.
