Don't see enough value in him to think that it's going to make the MCU special in some way.
So like I said you don't see it.
It's exactly what I said.
Just because you don't see the value in a character and putting that character in movies doesn't mean there is none or that that person's opinion doesn't have some truth in it.
Peter Parker false starts?
The first film was excellent, passing 100 mill in a weekend and earned great ratings.
I was obviously referring to ASM and the span of Spidey movies overall the past decade +. When it comes to the first incarnation it's more about what ended up happening with SM3. Pretty much tanked potential for that continuity continuing. Hence, SM4 & 5 being scrapped.
So overall I again see no reason not to continue using Peter Parker.
This is more about rebooting Spidey for a 2nd time in such short intervals and still starting with Peter in HS. You keep saying waste but it'd be nothing but a fresh start to introduce Miles Morales, the circumstances of his origin, and supporting cast. There's a lot of unsaid things about what Miles represents (if done right) that would be highly praised if he was put on the big screen instead of Peter.
I'll say it right now, the ONLY reason this next incarnation of Spider-Man will be successful is because of the close ties to and inclusion of the MCU. The ONLY reason.
SONY would be left with a bleak outlook on Spidey movies and their attempt to expand Spidey's universe with spinoffs without Marvel studios help. Not as bleak as F4 but pretty bleak in comparison to successful cmb movies by competitors.
True enough, but Miles doesn't have any great stories or any major villains of his own that people are instantly going to recognize, once more going back to the issue of why he should be used instead of Peter.
Sounds even better. Nothing about a Miles movie would have fans saying this is just a Peter movie in black skin. This is the opportunity of presenting something familiar in a new way. It's Spider-Man in the title so fans will be curious regardless. Fans don't instantly recognize villains? Fine here's the chance to be blown away (or disappointed, it's all about if it's done right) by a different take on Spider-Man.
A Miles Morales as Spider-Man movie has the iconic imagery that all Spidey fans love and would be drawn to along with the mystery and excitement of something new that Guardians of the Galaxy surprised everybody with.
I'm not saying he's outright better than Peter but if that movie was made it wouldn't be far behind the Spidey movies that already came out quality or box office wise. Quality wise, I'm betting that the writers, producers, and directors involved would be able to learn from past mistakes to give us a better story.
Sales really aren't irrelevant at all
Spider-Man comic book sales when we're talking about a Miles movie vs. a Peter movie is pretty irrelevant. They have no basis in this hypothetical situation where a Miles movie is made. Hell my stance isn't even that that a Miles movie would make billions more than any Peter movie. I haven't even hinted to anything close to that. I also never said something like Miles comics sales are huge so his movies sales would be too.
That Amazing Spider-Man sells more than any other Spidey title is not proof of anything. It's one of if not the longest running comic at Marvel. Only recently interrupted by Superior Spider-Man
Again, what reason is there to use Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker? Comic fans love Peter, film fans have been receptive to him, so why not continue using the character that's worked out well so far?
as they tell us who comic fans themselves prefer between the two and its Peter.
No, no, no. Not at all. Amazing Spider-Man sold huge #s when Ben Reilly was the main Spidey. The Aforementioned Superior Spider-Man did ASM #s when Doc Ock was Spidey.
You swap Peter out for almost any character attached to a compelling story and it'll do great #s because It's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. I don't know if you're aware of this but that's just how it is with comics. Fans buy the mainstays almost regardless and sales only surge when the stories are better. It's the same for Batman, Uncanny X-Men, and Justice League. Batman selling more doesn't necessarily mean Bruce Wayne is the best bar none, especially when he gets replaced by ****, his son, AzBats, and currently Commissioner ******* Gordon. This is even more apparent in team books when rosters constantly change. The only thing ASM selling more than Ultimate Spider-Man tells us is what most comic fans already knew, after the Ultimatum event, the Ultimate Marvel comics lost their appeal and began a slow death.
