How Spider-Man went from a story about one character to a “team franchise”

[Kaitou D. Kid]

Well, are we expecting an older Peter would look and act his age, though? Like would Peter at age 65 still have the physique and looks of him in his 30's-40's?

I doubt 616 Peter will ever grow past "thirties-ish" at most. He will probably continue to grow and change post the undoing of OMD but it will all be under comic book time.

What story do people say that about?

Basically whenever a story is presented as "filler" for the "main plot".

A lot of people felt like Spencer dragged out the Kindred reveal too long, so many of the stories in between then are considered to be filler.

It's because people want a specific conclusion that it counts as filler.

I'm conflicted about the concept of filler because sometimes it's not an appropriate description. Maybe it stands out more in serialized stories

Hence why filler and main plot are in quotations.

Ok. How much do you think is actual filler?

Well what do you think the finale to Spider-Man's story would be like? Since no one expects him to have a finale, none of his story can be considered filler. It's just episodic.

Interesting way of putting it. I guess he probably never will have a finale.

"The multiple character with the same name thing usually bugs me, but there are cases where it doesn't. In cases where the name was also a rank or a job, I never had an issue, for example, Green Lantern, Nova, heck even Robin I was fine with. Other times I was ok was when a legacy character assumed the mantle and kept the name, Wally West Flash and Laura for example. I think they earned it and it fits better than any other (unpopular opinion, I prefer Wally to Barry).

Other characters... I'm not a fan. I don't like having 2 people named Spider-Man or Hawkeye etc."

An quote from the X-thread that fits here.

Talks about how legacy characters don't work.Not the characters themselves.

It's even worse for Miles since he was built to work as an alt. reality 2nd gen Spidey with a dead Pete.
Works even worse when he's in 616.

Of course there are problems with his character(everything handed on a silver platter,no rogue's gallery, an undeveloped supporting cast, similar yet worse[usually] storyline[sinister six, Mephisto and now clones], etc.) but this is just a general legacy POV.

[CosmiComic]

That's subjective.

[Spiderfan001]

That's subjective.

I mean it's a opinion.All opinion's are subjective.

There are some facts though like Miles's being created like an alt. reality 2nd gen legacy hero.They didn't have to differentiate him from Spider-man because he was dead in his universe.
And some of the other points but all these still do have prespective plaguing them.Everything does.

Miles had some missteps but they aren't insurmountable. Future writers could iron out the kinks later.

I just find a lot of people complain about legacy characters without much objective reason.

That's true for any character but I agree.

Just goes to show there is an actual problem here.Things don't come out of thin air.

Not necessarily.
