Not that I dont support that, because I like miles more than parker, but good fucking luck
Miles is the protagonist of easily the best super hero films since The Incredibles. Into The Spider-Verse is a universally acclaimed masterpiece. I don't think Insomniac need any luck; Miles is pretty popular already.
Miles is absolutely established as a hero of his own merit and right. Thats not a question. He absolutely stands shoulder to shoulder with parker.
But does he pass parker? Can he surpass what a lot of people consider to be the best marvel super hero, in his own costume and title? I dunno, Im not sure on that.
This might also be a generational question. Ask a kid, they might answer Miles. Ask a millennial or older who grew up with Parker primarily, likely a different answer
That's a very interesting answer!
It is however true Miles hasn't really appeared in the MCU (for teenagers and adults) nor is it made to be the main character in "Spidey and his amazing friends" kid TV series (though he's well featured).
I suppose the Spider verse movies are good at making Miles Morales even more popular and can turn the perception, but new generations still get to see an awful lot of Peter.
If you ask some randoms on the street "Who is spiderman?" I bet 99% will not say Miles Morales. If that changes its gonna be a while imo
This doesn't answer any questions.
But....
Spiderman could be black.

I vote for Glover instead!
That's true, but this isn't about the comics. I still haven't beaten SM2, but it does obvious that they are heading towards Miles being the main SM going forward. He's really going through an evolution arc while Peter is going through a real rough patch.
It's not about any randos, though. It's about PlayStation gamers.
