I could care less about Miles. Every “fan” of his I see always say the same things, they like the movie, yet can never say anything about him from the comics other than oh yeah he’s alright. I’m talking about IRL so hold your essay that we both know I won’t read like you didn’t read this rant.

No one knows who Kid Nova is and Ms Marvel was never actually popular. Miles being attached to other things that do well, primarily movies, doesn't mean people like him.

Someone made a series of fan art reimagining Teen Titans 2003 as a Champions series (this was part of some trend where people imagined a timeline where Marvel and DC "switched" shows)

They won't even make a standalone movie about him. He always has to be tied to Peter Parker for anyone to give a shit.

How is Ms. Marvel disrespected? They gave her two solo minis as she coped with becoming a mutant, then she was the main character in NYX, now she has this time-travel storyline...

Yeah, but it's not disrespectful. The last disrespectful thing they did was shove her into Spider-Man as a minor supporting character for months before having her unceremoniously murdered.

They've been disrespecting her since Year 1 when they nerfed her powers. Then they took her out of her isolated bubble to make her an Avenger, then a Champion, then pretty much doing everything that wasn't what she was originally made to do: to be a weird shapeshifting fangirl living in Jersey City where all the rejects and losers who can't make it in NYC end up going.

They had one book together and it tanked very quickly. He's sales-poison and Rich is nowhere near popular enough to save him.

Zoomers don't read comics for the most part, they just enjoy the out of context pages and panels posted by the few weirdos who just read them online.

>1 out of dozens is saved by people outside of comics
We need a word for Marvel / DC retardation. It's not your usual failure. It's special. A very specific kind of refusal to follow basic common sense. And I think "saved by movies/games" is a unique condition for comics. They leech off of better writers and directors found in all the other industries. Video games sometimes rip off movies but God of War never became popular because of movies. GTA isn't big because of others. It was made and designed to be popular by Santa Monica. The endless reliance on others to sell your shit is exclusive to Marvel and DC Comics.

Maybe side media and movie miles. Comic miles is the most boring motherfucker in existence, he would make sense if Peter died and miles never stayed in the 616 universe. In the end hes just a black man variation of an already well known popular hero, ans thats the whole reason why he sucks along every single hero who's just a variant of another hero, be from "admiration, legacy or another universe"
