Lol then don't watch the sequel. Its a complete story but its also set in a comic book universe so there will always be more stories to tell.
The fact that people are seriously considering something not happening in a movie spoilers just goes to show that spoilerphobia has turned into indefensible lunacy where people refuse to take any responsibility over their own desire to go into a movie blind, and instead expect the whole goddamn internet to bend over backwards for their sake.
Sequel sounds good. Haven't seen the movie yet but I'm definitely gonna with how well it reviewed, a total surprise to me. Hopefully Sony doesn't find some exciting new way to completely fuck it up now.

There's a post on the first page claiming that Gwen dodged Miles advances during the film. If that happens in the film, then yes, the title of the thread is a spoiler imho. It isn't that bad for me because I know the source material, but others that would like to go spoiler free, it's only common sense to not spoil things in the title of threads, giving others an way out.
More Gwen Stacy is fine with me! Her costume is one of the best.
Now get her in the MCU as well.

90% of the sales came after the book. That first issue didn't sell 1 million in its first month.
I ain't saying her outfit didn't have a massive effect. But to call it the sole factor is incredulous. It was a great one off that did so well it spun out into a book. Not a book I'd call ground breaking.
But fuck I wouldn't call silk a masterpiece either. But Silk also had a lower fucking bar given that she came off from being THE MOST HATED spider-person by a mile after Spider-verse.
Only spider-person who was that hated again after an event was Ben Reilly after Dead No More
I'd agree with this in general. Spider-Gwen was never a book I'd call stellar, but it IS one of the few books that is still an ongoing- vol. 1 was 5 issues and vol. 2 another 35 issues and she will continue as "ghost spider" after spider-geddon wraps up. The amount of solo books marvel is running that are anywhere near this amount of issues since 2015 is very, very low. Spider-Gwen has an audience, even if the book isn't thrilling for me personally.
Silk on the other hand never quite seemed to find it's audience. Vol.1 was about 7 issues, and the rebooted Vol. 2 about 19 issues before meeting cancellation. Not every character is suited to an ongoing, sure- marvel cancels them CONSTANTLY these days but it's rather telling that Cindy has been completely MIA since her book ended. Other than a quick panel where she's taken out of commission at the conclusion of Slott's run of ASM and a few Spider-Geddon cameos, I'm struggling to think of anywhere she's actually been used at all since 2016.
If the character is compelling or has potential Marvel will find ways to keep using them. For instance Gwenpool after cancellation was "rebooted" and incorporated into West Coast Avengers along with the Kate Bishop Hawkeye and Ms. America who also had recently cancelled titles that struggled to find footing. Amadeus Cho as "totally awesome hulk", Nadia Pym as Wasp II, and the Sam Alexander Nova continued to be used in Champions after their books ended. Even the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider who had not one but TWO swiftly canceled and not-at-all-good books was retooled and incorporated into Avengers because someone at Marvel thinks he (and those other characters) have some potential even if they can't really carry a solo book.

that's tame, if they were holding hands i'd say put it under a NSFW tag
You clearly have an interracial fetish. You're looking at this with such wonder, and that in itself is weird, b.
How'd you guess? Dont knock perfectly rational fetishes man. But on the broader point, i like that comics are not staying in their lane in that area to hold onto a potentially close minded or bigoted audience
I'm not knocking it, but you're reaction to it is pushing my buttons for some reason. Probably because you feel it's remarkable when it shouldn't be.
It's weird. I hate Miles and Gwen being a thing in the comics, but I actually didn't mind it in the movie.
I mean, Miles and Gwen in the comic made no sense, and had the really fucked up age thing.
I mean, not jumping to his defense, but it IS remarkable. Shouldn't be, but it is. How often we see black leads get romances at all in film, let alone with non-black women?
I'd actually say it's more common, at least with white women.
Mostly in series not created/directed primarily at black audiences.
eh, i don't really care about romance in these kind of movies, hope it doesn't take too much of the screentime
Heck no. Venom was entertaining from start to finish.
Kraven has a solid premise
(Adapting Kravens Last Hunt from his perspective)
Decent director Rumoured (hit and miss to be fair but he was rumoured to be in talks for the MCU)
(Antoine Fuqua — Training Day, Equalizer)
You can also make a good Black Cat movie.
Superior Foes of Spider-Man is also ripe as a light action comedy. A rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead like focused story. purposefully adjacent to the action in almost a clerks like way about these loser super villains who have no idea what they're doing. Not even really all that evil, but a group of people who have made really bad life decisions with like no awareness.
I wonder if some of the economics of these lower selling series could be improved if Marvel goes digital with some for an a la cart sub, and then allows direct orders/manufacturing/shipping for the big fans. I feel like there's some sort of pseudo web comic model that could turn out moderately sustainable

I would love a Spider-Man movie with a Peter who has been in the game for over 10 years. Sony can then bring him in with Venom and what not.
You're thinking of white men with black women, not black men with white women.
I was always a little meh that Sony didn't brush off Spider-Man 3 and continue on to a more bronze age Riami Spider-Man. Married, experienced and adapting those stories. I wasn't in the mood for ASM reboot, and while going younger still with Homecoming had its potential, I feel like outside of his 10 minutes in Civil War, he hasn't clicked (for me). I grew up reading a married Peter Parker so that probably had an impact.
Right?

That is basically the Peter we have in Into the Spiderverse though?
Not at all. I see interracial couples all the time out here in NYC. So when you have a dude mystified by the prospect of such a relationship it says a lot.
"Mystified"
Dude just said he was interested in reading the comic. You're pushing your own buttons.
Possibly, possibly. But then maybe not. Internet exchanges ultimately meaningless anyway ;)
Miles. I'm watching a Maximillian video on the side so I got them mixed up.
We very rarely get interracial couple in media though. I can't think of any long term ones in comics that weren't basically flings. I could be flat out wrong.
Isn't it fair for people to be excited by representation? I don't know if the person having a sexual component to it really undermines that. You can get going about something without that meaning that you don't also see it as valuable/good/interesting in non sexual ways. I guess I can understand a defensive reaction against the possibility of objectification tho.
yea this post is mad projecting
-this is coming from the black guy in an interracial relationship.
