Chuds hated it for being woke. The targer audience hated it because they didnt feel represented, they felt mocked. One near universal backlash later its thrown in the bin.

The best part was how big of a deal they made about this iteration of the New Warriors
Like they put out a press release and did a big announcement splash on their website
Then everyone immediately tore into it, it was just completely eviscerated
To the point where Marvel scrubbed it, like utterly wiped out everything they could, because it was just that poorly planned
Honestly, Marvel's just been one bad idea after another these last 20 years
Kamala Khan and Miles Morales were good ideas tho.
True, but early on, Miles had a lot of white guy baggage from Bendis writing him
Lest we forget, his dad was literally named Jefferson Davis as a "gag"
also there have been numerous white authors who write Miles Morales speaking with a stereotypical "ghetto" inflection that doesn't resemble how black people in NYC actually talk
Yep
It's especially rough since Miles is one of the very few Puerto Rican superheroes out there, so it hits me on a very personal level to see him getting written poorly
it's like the stupidest people at the company heard about outrage marketing and thought "hey, we can do that!"
