Miles Morales will be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the main Spider-Man going forward in Insomniac's games as Peter Parker is taking a much-deserved rest from the spandex and webs. But of course, gamers are gonna gamer, so there is plenty of outrage over this revelation.
Spoilers ahead for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man 2.
At the end of Spider-Man 2, with Kraven dead and Venom defeated, Miles and Peter find each other on Aunt May's driveway looking to the future. Peter wants to retire and spend more time with MJ, building up the normal life he hasn't had time for over the past ten years. With Miles having proved himself, redeeming Mr Negative, defeating a Symbiote-consumed Spider-Man, and helping take down Venom, the two agree that he can handle things from here.
Insomniac confirmed its intentions with the ending and announced that yes, Miles is the new main Spidey. Immediately after, "Peter Parker is Spider-Man" started trending on Twitter, with many repeating the same trite, "Miles Morales is Miles Morales". Even though, across comic history, we've had an entire corps of Green Lanterns, a Flash as popular as Barry Allen in Wally West, a whole conveyor belt of Robins, multiple Captain Marvels, and several Spider-Men before Miles even stepped on to the scen♚e. Shocker, Spider-Man 2099 does not refer to himself as Spider-Man 2099.
Then there's a second camp of gamers, those who are angry at the idea of their favourite wallcrawler taking a backseat despite being the focus for the two main games we've had so far.
"I am here for Peter," Barachim said on a Reddit post sharing the news. "After this game's rather disappointing story and now their plans to shift the focus towards Miles, I think I'm done."
Peter Parker has had games going back to the '80s, whereas Miles didn't appear in a video game until 2018. There are plenty of Peter Parker games to dig into while Miles gets the spotlight.
"Yeah, no thanks," Troop7 said. "🎐;I enjoy Spider-Man because of Peter Parker. Not anyone els🎃e".
Finally, we have the third camp - those who don't believe Insomniac. Spider-Man 2 sets up Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, two villains competing for the title of Peter's archnemesis. Miles doesn't have the same emotional attachment, so many expect the Goblin's debut and Ock's return to pull Peter out of retirement, with Insomniac's statement being a bait and switch. Maybe, but it's possible he'll only appear briefly while 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Miles and Cindy Moon ﷽(AKA Silk) take ce🏅nter stage.
We'll have to wait and see. But if you're an avid reader of the comics or a fan of the Spider-Verse movies, you'll be used to the mantel being more than just Peter's.
