Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man Appreciation 2023

An article by ScreenRant addressing a complaint I've had concerning the way Miles is sometimes written. Especially most recently.

This is another article from last year that complements it somewhat.

This covers Miles' feats across different media.

The part about being more experience than some older heroes is something that really needs to be remembered, just because some heroes have been around longer doesn't mean they've managed to accomplished much. Not mention he's definitely one of, if not the most, experienced heroes in his generation. (depending on who you consider part of it) It wasn't too long ago he took on the more experienced hero role for the new Darkhawk and it wasn't portrayed as if it was something he struggled to do.

Uh-huh. Hell, a similar issue exists with Peter Parker/Spider-Man as well, since he did start as a teenager while most of the other superheroes of the time (except for the original X-Men and the Fantastic Four's Human Torch) were already adults, and even then, he was accomplishing more with a lot less going for him, comparatively speaking. Of course, Marvel has seen fit in more recent years to downgrade Peter in terms of overall competence and maturity as a hero, so making Miles out to be less experienced than he actually is . . . may be par for the course, sadly.

Yeah I agree. I don't mind Miles picking up or honing skills he doesn't use regularly, but he shouldn't have to start at a zero point. Makes it seems like he's goofing to prop these other heroes up.

Miles CAN'T still be 16. He was already 16 when he arrived on Earth-616, and Rio wasn't even pregnant with Billie yet. And we've seen Miles have TWO birthdays since then (one in that annual before Ahmed's run started, the other during Ahmed's run). He should be 18. Ahmed even ended his run with Miles getting accepted for college - he shouldn't still be at Brooklyn Visions. Was Miles just de-aged? Kamala Khan was also 16 just after Secret Wars, and she now has a job. In another spider book, too, so the editors know it!

Nah, That Miles would be 17/18 given in the first movie he was 15.

Plus they've already stated the movie is partially about Miles growing up and leaving the nest. At this rate movie and game Miles might end up older than comic Miles.

Possibly. Beyond the Spiderverse is back to back sequel so it's release won't be too far from ATSV. There will probably be a sizable gap between Spider-man 2 and 3 though due to huge increase of time needed for modern game development anywhere from 3-5 years. Even if Ziglar de-aged Morales a bit there'd be some half a decade before you'd see the older versions again. Technically that's plenty of time to catch up. I'm not sure how time is going to pass across the two movies but I'm fairly positive Miles will be out of High School in Spider-man 2.

I think Beyond the Spiderverse will still be treated as a part two to ATSV so there won't even be a time skip. I was more so implying if they made another movie after BTSV that version of Miles would be older than comic Miles. And agreed the odds of game Miles being out of High School in Spider-Man 2 is fairly likely.

Should be an interesting read, all around.

5th issue of the arc? Ziglar said he's confirmed at least 12 issues right?

Is this supposed to be the last issue of the arc?

Yeah, he's only confirmed for 12. If the fifth issue isn't last for the arc I'm a little surprised he'd dedicate so much time to it. I guess maybe he's confident in it showcasing his writing abilities. I will say though it is nice to see an arc actually hit five issues after what we had before.

Issue one of this was really good, definitely going to get to. I especially loved the art and miles just comes off as a good guy trying to do the right thing. It was nice to see he was able to call his parents and they support him, there was a lot crammed into the issue. every single panel was full of bursting motion and vibrant colors. I am wondering what's going on with Raheen, though she seemed kind at the beginning she is coming off as a hater by the end which one can be both i guess.

some of my fave panels, really all of them were.
