Being Spider-Man is inherently about being the one man who can make a difference, and how that ties into personal responsibility...only now there's another man?
Peter being a mentor is neat, but I feel like that has a shelf-life and has to inevitably downplay Peter to some extent to do Miles justice like we saw in Miles' game from Insomniac where they had to write out Peter to basically give Miles his due and skip over the mentor/protege stuff because that's not Miles' story at all. It was the same in ITSV. Ultimately it feels like it's inevitably to service Miles than to do anything with Peter, when Peter's story should be about him and his experiences and not building up a legacy. This is why I get kind of irked when everyone is immediately jumping at getting Miles into the MCU because I know what that might mean for Peter.
And honestly I think two people with the exact same codename without a clear distinction being paired together just sounds kind of silly, especially in practice where they're calling each other Spider-Man. Fine in certain instances, but not on an ongoing basis.
Of course this isn't just an issue I have with Miles, it's a general issue with Peter + Other Spider-Character, because his stories just aren't designed around that. And I hate to see Peter "somebody bail me out" Parker.
