I don't think that is gonna happen.

Because main characters who are minorities alienate ~white people~ according to Hollywood.

I would laugh myself into a coma, where my coma-dreams are just me laughing into eternity. Is it wrong that I actively want video game/comic book movies to piss off the nerd fanbase nowadays? The tears are delicious.:qq:

Miles story so far is amazing and would make a great movie up until the end of the Venom arc. Movie would end and I'd be all :qq:

A cinematic ultimate universe would be fun to see.

I really, really, really want to see Jessica form up a Young Ultimates.

Unless I'm missing the sarcasm, there are four earth lanterns: Jordan, Rayner, Gardner and Stewart. Of them all, only John and Baz aren't caucasian.

There was a big hoopla about the Green Lantern movie whitewashing because a whole generation of people were only exposed to John from the Justice League cartoons and assumed he was the only earth lantern.

Well, they aren't sanctioned by the Guardians therefore, they aren' t true lanterns :v:

I could do without Jessica gushing about how amazing Miles is every time he's mentioned/shows up. Gotta be the... 4th? 5th time?

Seems... out of character (we all know what's really going on, Bendis, stop circle-jerking yourself / your own pet character).

If I wasn't pretty sure there's like a 5 year age difference I'd say she has a crush.

It's hard to tell how old she's actually intended to be. I always figured she was early 20's, since the Ultimates took her on as a member.

Monica Chang says it, but yeah, "You're 16" is the line. Although it seems off - Peter was 16 when he died, and that was before the one year timejump, so if she's the same age she should be at least 17. Notably older than Miles, in any case.

17 and 14 year olds date in high schools all the time, people mature at different rates so in some cases there doesn't seem to be anything weird about it and in others it'd be really unseemly. That being said, it'd be really weird for there to be any romantic interaction between Miles and Peter's female clone, and also I assume Jessica is fully emancipated, so the maturity levels are very different, beyond just the age gap. Though I am looking forward to (Bendis's Uncanny/All-New X-Men spoilers)X-23 and Young Scott Summers hooking up for how awkward that's going to be.

OK I didn't think that one all the way through but come on, surely there are good ideas out there that are not a rehash of the same character as before.

It doesn't really matter that Miles is the same basic character template, the very fact that he's Peters successor means theres a new angle to the story.

Doesn't help with the sense of age that every other artist draws Jessica as a 6+ feet super model.

The "Amazing" dialogue always comes across as... Bendis writing fan-fiction, fan-fiction of his own work :psyduck:

I understand that. But on the other hand, Peter wasn't taken seriously as a hero until late in his career. So how many more "you're just a kid, go home" stories do we really need?

I think there is a middle ground between the two.

You could put in other banter (which is usually pretty good!) or just leave them silent.
