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.

    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
