Stephen Wacker has announced that Peter Parker will soon be replaced by a new younger spider-man. Bad idea. Bad, Bad, really Bad idea.Would it be a good idea if superman was replaced by a younger character? no.
Would it be a good idea if hulk was replaced by someone younger? no.
So........WHY? well here's why:
"aahaHH wE aRe doinG thiSssss beCause.......... WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER!!!!
Bull.
he hasn't got kids. he hasn't got a car. yeah I know the last example sucked but it's true. But most importantly? he's Peter Parker. He wasn't a handsome, muscular, figure who had girls pleading to spend one night with him and was universally loved ever since he was a kid.
He was scrawny. Unlucky. A geek. And only got his powers from something that should have killed him. we felt for him and he real emotions besides punch that, kick this.
the next one will be a football jock because if you make him a geek it will be the same thing.
lastly?
peter is spider-man. peter usd spidey as a way to show people his fun loving side.We grew up with him, and I really felt a connection with him in his stories.
What am I going to do if he gets replaced
to be honest I'll stop reading comics. AND COMMIT SUICIDE.......
.....by announcing war on marvel!! they aren't a comic company there a movie company now days!! If this happens please contact me as I will be trying to start a group. Thank you and goodnight. Or morning. Or afternoon. Depends.
This brings back memories for me, Tom-- when I was younger, one of the reasons I stopped reading comics for a while was because they kept doing goofy things with Spider-man & it was for similar reasons, that they thought they'd run out of ideas & they were desperate. I hate it, too, but I do hope your robot doesn't commit suicide over it. I'm sure smarter heads like yours will prevail in the long run. Good luck with your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is bad, sad news. I rather suspect that this is more to do with them thinking of the movie & merchandising market than of comic book fans & readers.
ReplyDeleteI hope the new character remains a vulnerable, identifiable persona and that they don't beef him up out of all recognition. That would be a travesty!
