This writer has zero rhythm and learned everything he knows about rapping from 90s cereal commercials.
White people are banned from writing Miles Morales stories from now until the heat death of the universe.

I've been reading this series each month and they've mostly been whatever, not great but fine. However, on Tuesday when I picked this issue up and read it I was Shocked. It's a train wreck of stereotypes and out of place AAVE. Just mind blowing. It opens with a TWO PAGE rap.
This is the kinda shit you say when you want to insta-lose a battle rap because you need to leave in a hurry
I actually spit out my drink when I read "By Odin's Fade"
Nothing about this year could've prepared me for that.

Looking at the other comics on the writer's website. There are two involving a character named "Chunky" which are described as though they're about the author's childhood. They're about a Jewish Latino boy who draws comics for fun. The second book has him go to a Jewish summer camp.
I guess that doesn't preclude him being Black, but Sci-Fu isn't described as a memoir.
EDIT: Correction, Hudi is the name of the character, Chunky is his imaginary friend.

I feel like if The Boondocks wrote a character like this in the show/comics, it would be presented as an absolute pisstake and at least someone in-universe would be dogging them out as the corniest buffoon they had ever seen.
This is "The Room" levels of taking some material anyone outside the writer's room/inner circle would warn you is phenomenal garbage and playing it completely deadpan. Was the writer for this a script doctor for Shaq's savage rhythms and rhymes in Kazaam?

Dude wears an Adidas tracksuit so he probably thinks it's fine. 🤣Here's a short bio on the author I found
"We love it. No notes. Well OK, one note: could you have Odin wearing Timberlands?"
Man I couldn't even imagine what the timeline where Lux instead said any that "rap" from this comic would be like
OH FUCK
Miles Morales continues his run of being a shit character?
Yes, the whole What-if MIles Morales series has been wack, sue me.
But honestly these guys outdid themselves.....its almost worthy of praise, cuz maybe its just us who dont get it and this is a parody.
With what the writers/editors have done/been doing with this character.
He deserves it.
Atleast Carol got ejected from her own book by a literally nobody with no personality who is more interesting than her.
Miles Morales doesnt have the decency to frikken go away for a while.
Disappear into the multiverse for a year until Marvel can figure out a way to make him worth the ink they are wasting on him.
Utter trash character
<---Yes, I have a stark hatred of Miles partly if not solely because Marvel are so intent on forcing him down our throats.

Marvel cant figure out a way to make him interesting, and using his "urbanness" as a character trait just isnt working because the people writing him dont know what they are talking about.

I've read every mainline Miles Morales comic through the Clone stuff. Is there a reason why Marvel never had a black or Latin writer ever as the main author for Miles? It seems bonkers to me how that has never been an issue addressed? Some of the dialogue (both Spanish or AAE) from Bendis and Ahmed is borderline offensive.
What if [superhero] was a different [superhero] is a pretty dumb idea for a comic to begin with.
I don't live in the US and English isn't my first language, so I don't really understand how badly written this is, art looks good though. Better than a lot of Miles comics since he was brought to Earth 616.
And yeah at this point I just don't care about comic book Miles anymore, so far I haven't read anything that I liked so I just kinda waiting for someone actually good to come with a good take on Miles. I do think that he is one of their best characters thanks to Into the Spider-Verse and the PS5 game though. I think the same will end up happening with Ironheart, one of my fav Marvel Snap cards and soon to have their own Disney+ show.
It's a common implementation, but the original premise is more if some iconic moment had happened differently, whether an iconic success was a failure, or something that didn't happen... did. The first What If? being 'What If Spider-Man had Joined the "Fantastic Four?', and perhaps the most infamous 'What If Gwen Stacy had lived?'
What's the significance of the sneakers btw? Where I'm from (very white Europe) you see this a lot too, like it's normal, is there a different connotation in America?
THE EDITOR IN CHIEF OF MARVEL COMICS IS A WHITE DUDE WHO PRETENDED TO BE ASIAN FOR YEARS AND STILL HAS HIS JOB
like fuck, from the top down, the company is clown shoes

Thing is, same applies to T'Challa (though he has had some runs by black writers), but it has NEVER been this bad for him
I feel like in other media, they try to write him as a *black person* with all the things that go with being a person.
And in the comics, they go for THE BLACK SPIDER-MAN WHO IS BLACK*
*which we know because we've seen black memes
Though, that said, I hear that he had a writer that did a very good run recently.
While it can happen anywhere, it's very much used as visual shorthand for 'the hood' - meaning, black American neighbourhoods - in American media
Considering the EIC at Marvel is a white man who pretended to be Japanese, imma go on a limb and say their attempts at diversity don't have much effort.Why does everytime Marvel try to diversify their writers pool, they get the shittiest ones?
America still hasn't recovered from
