Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits
Source: Miles told me.
I just found this in a YouTube post and instantly trought of Miles and Ganke.
Like, Miles doing this but with the ATSV version of Ganke.
Idk, that version of him looks like won't clean the dorm and Miles would do this so Ganke finally does it.
Maybe this is so out of character, so I'm sorry. I don't do this kind of things because of that-
I’m not sorry I’ll straight up say it.
It feels incredibly racist to me that MCU literally stole a character from Miles’s comics, to give a new best friend to Peter Parker, so you know the 10th+ version of this white boy could feel slightly different from the 9 other white boy Peter Parker’s.
Again, to make their 3rd movie series version of Peter Parker stand out from the two other Peter Parker movie trilogies, instead of just making their own creative decisions and character writing, just plucked the character of Ganke Lee, from the Miles Morales comics, and rewrote him into Ned for Peter Parker.
I'm not saying ITSV and ATSV rewrote Ganke's character for the movie specifically because of this as the movie does already make changes from the comics- but I would't be surprised if they avoided using Ganke much in the movies to avoid being compared to Ned. Which sucks, seeing Ned is just Ganke Lee from the comics repackaged.
Again having to steal a a character from a black character's universe and comics to make your white character more interesting than the dozen versions of your white character before is gross.
But the creator of Ganke Lee from the comics says it best.
“It's weird only because Ganke wasn't part of Peter's story — he was part of Miles's story."
