I'm wondering how they expect the kid to survive in 616. He stopped being spiderman for a year after his mother was killed.
I wonder if after the beating Otto gets from Cage, Miles will replace him on the Mighty Avengers. It would be glorious.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankThat also makes it difficult to drop him in 616. By doing so you remove the sense of normalcy that character represents by having him be the survivor of a dead universe. What do you do from there? Drop him on a team book or push all the second rate 616 spiderman villians on him?
I think that's part of the appeal and draw for Miles. To some people, he's more relatable than Peter Parker was (who in his own right, is widely considered to be the most relatable superhero of them all) because even before the spider bite, Peter was a remarkable student with a brilliant mind.

That's true as well.
Ultimately, I do think Miles is such a popular and relevant character that not doing anything with him would be a mistake. As far as what to do with him, I don't think there's a real easy answer for that.

Make him an Avenger, that seems to be the perfect solution for everything in Marvel.
Meh, anyone can find embarrassing screen caps of actors. People allowed SM3 to erase 1 and 2 from their minds, forgetting how much almost everyone loved them. SM1 was the first post-2000 superhero movie to really show us the potential of the genre (along with X2). I think we'd still be waiting for things like an Avengers movie had it not happened.

Hmm. I always thought it was the 2 Blade movies that sort of kicked things off in the right direction. Especially Blade 2.

Blade got the Underworld movies kicking alright, but it did nothing for superheroes, I'm still not sure most people who watched Blade knew he was a superhero to begin with.

What Bentley said is true. But the buzz in the movie industry after Spidey was palpable, and it was during that period that all the licenses to various heroes and teams got bought up. Blade was successful, but not the kind of tentpole bonanza that sets marketing execs hearts aflutter. SM1 was predicted to do well, but smashed a bunch of box office records when it opened. It was the light switch moment for the current golden age of live action comic movies that we're seeing, and deservedly so.
This is quote is from this IGN article, just made me lol

" It’s been a constant PR battle for Aquaman to get even the residents of the DC Universe to take him seriously."
