He looks a little banged up in the first picture; pretty sure he's got an IV going. I'm guessing nothing major, but they probably kept him in overnight for observation anyway.

>>90244497

>Implying using an innocent and naive kid as a move for PR is good in any way whatsoever

You can be sure the only reason they did it is because it was profitable, nothing more. Free publicity basically, and nowadays with the price of adspace and the like it is like being given out gold for free. Maybe the action itself may be good, but the entire mentality that comes from using this event as a PR stunt implies that they care more about virtue signaling than actually living by these virtue.

>These Negative Posts

Guys, who gives a shit if it's PR; look how damn happy the kid looks in the second picture. Poor kid had a really shitty and now he's having a better one. If it ends up in some PR guy's portfolio, so be it.

I bet if this was a white kid, he wouldn't have gotten anything. Fucking virtue signaling cunts.

Yeah, it's a good thing overall.

My only issue is that the kid didn't imply in any way that he knew or cared about Miles, just that he liked Spider-Man, so Bendis assumed "oh he's black, he must be a BIG fan of Miles!" despite Miles having basically no presence outside of the comics.

>>90244468

Except he sent him a bunch of non-Miles Spider-Man comics.

He's just mentioning his credentials in case the family doesn't know who he is otherwise he's just some random Twitter creep.

>>90245632

I mean, he name dropped that he's a Miles co-creator, but we don't see all the comics he sent. Seems reasonable that he could have asked the sister what kinds of comics the kid might like to get after she emailed him

Apparently the letter from the kid with Leukemia was printed eight months earlier, and I can't find a scan of it. Here's the transcript of the letter, which appeared on the letters page of Captain America vol. 6 issue 10:

>Hi. My name is KJ. I am 9 years old and I love Marvel comics! I am in the hospital right now because I have leukemia. Marvel comics have helped pass the time on some very long days. My favorite character is Captain America and my favorite comic is the Defenders. Just as sure as Spidey beats Doc Ock, I am going to beat leukemia! Thank you very much.

>>90246512
I believe it. My coworker has a aol email.

I know it's gmail, but I've been using this same one since around 2004 iirc, where you still needed an invite to create an account.

>>90246486
It's how /co/'s hivemind operates.

When they hate someone (like Bendis), then from that time onwards that someone can do nothing right. Even if they do something good or nice, it's bad.

When they like someone, everything they do is awesome, until the first time they do something bad. After that, they're forever hated.

I was hit by a car, but I didn't need an IV. I was wearing a big coat and was fairly big for my age (I was twelve), so the impact, while it did make my left leg muscles tense and painful and traces of blood were found in my urine, I was well enough to go back to school three days later (I even stood up after, but everyone told me to sit down). He's definitely smaller than I was, so luckily he got out okay.

>>90246486
The problem is that he chose his shitty comics over ones that are actually good.

Creators try to pull this shit all time time. They find some kid in the hospital, send them free goodies or make an appearance, word spreads on the internet because people like you are morons, and sales of said product raise because of "How much of a good guy the creator it". It's why movies will have actors go to children hospitals to keep hype up about their movie. Make no mistake, Bendis does not care about what happened to this kid. He cares about selling books.

If it was a white kid bendis wouldn't do this

Is it true that all black people are instantly like Miles? Because all the black people I know don't care for him that much. Hell, the only person I know who actually likes him is blonde haired and blue eyed.

Yeah, I bet it's a coincidence that all the books he sent were written by him.

>>90245439
Mr. Glass? Bendis?

>>90247320
I meant all as an exaggeration of most. Yeah, kinda stupid in hindsight, but I'm currently out of it at the moment so sue me. Obviously the people who live in my area aren't reflective for the rest of the country, I just wanted to see more opinions on the matter.

>>90247424
Well, Miles gives his identity to everyone, so did Peter
why not him?

Individuals will often act on behalf of themselves just as companies do the same. However most people are capable of doing something superficially nice with no forseen benefit and just because it was no effort. No one helps an old lady cross the street because they want people to know how much they care for the elderly, perhaps they'd just prefer the old person safely crosses and it requires minimal or no effort on their part. In the same way it makes sense that a company would send a fan in a rough patch some free shit that is probably worth only pennies to them because they know itll make his day.

>>90247470
When Peter did it, it was a way of showing why that's stupid, though. You' think that would be obvious enough again at this point.

>>90247681
>No one helps an old lady cross the street because they want people to know how much they care for the elderly

Yes they do. More importantly, they can think back on it later and think "Remember that time I helped that lady for no tangible reason? That makes me a good person" which makes them feel good about themselves. We aren't built to be selfless creatures.

Still, so long as the action itself was good (which in this case it obviously was, that kid is delighted to get those shit comics) the motivation behind it isn't important.

>>90247937
Plenty of people are still capable of acting like that though, don't criticize the example. Maybe giving someone his bag of chips at lunch doesn't bother Bob because his dad owns a chip factory and he can eat as many chips as he wants. As social animals it's to our benefit to act on behalf of individuals in the group just as it is ourselves. We wouldn't have developed societies if we were only not dicks when we we're trying to get something from someone somehow. People are too caught up with the complexity of morality in this regard, think of the term "no skin off my bones". You can apply that to both pocketing money out of a dropped wallet or helping someone you don't know whos about to trip and fall. Seeing someone fall and eat shit is bad for everyone, and having 20 bucks for you is pretty sweet. These positives are what the individual thats acting cares about.

>>90247937
I refer to >>90247015 This is all a marketing ploy, nothing to see here.

>>90246088
I highly doubt he even knows who Miles is unless he saw him in the Ultimate cartoon. Most kids don't read comics, it's an extremely expensive hobby and it's a crapshoot that there'll even be a store close enough that kids parents would be willing to drive them, much less kids even realizing comics exist these days. They just know the characters from the cartoons/movies/etc.

God no, Miles came out when I was about 14 and I really wanted to like him but after 6 years of boring stories he has nothing going for him.

>>90244372

Man I totally get why Priest was fed up by writing black characters since that was all they gave him. Editors also fucked up his Cap run by shoving Falcon in when Priest didn't want him, shiving Disassembled shit in there and then giving Cap to Brubaker.

I look at his Deathstroke and I get pissed at the thought of Marvel screwing up what could possibly have been a GOAT Cap run.

>>90245501

>>90251756
Probably, kids don't care about identity politics, that's just a phase people go through in their late High school life/college years. Also, do you honestly believe that people know who Miles Morales is outside of comic fans? Even the cartoons knew it was a stupid idea and renamed him to Kid-Arachnid.

>>90245645
You say that like the Hypercrisis isn't real.

>>90251908
I mean, I can't speak for any one else. But in my household my family spoke a weird hybrid combination of English and Brazillian. Not like the examples you posted, but some words would be in Portuguese while others would be in English without any rhyme or reason. Thing is, I grew up learning that, and I just assumed it was normal English. So by the time I went to school I wasn't able to fully communicate with my piers since words would get lost in my version of English, so I basically had to re learn all the words I didn't know.

If there's anyone reading this who does this and is going to have a kid, fucking stop. It just causes problems later on.

>>90252740
>English and Portuguese*********

Fuck I feel like a retard.

>>90251756
It is, he's a teen now but he's a big Spider-Man fan (grew up watching cartoons, saw the movies, has merch, etc..) he's not a dedicated comic reader tho and has only read Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and some old Spider-Man comics collected in trades that my friend has bought him.

Anyway during a book fair that happened in his school (which Marvel participates in) someone offered him a Ultimatr Spider-Man Miles comic when he asked for Spider-Man and of course he had a "Not muh" reaction and asked for a comic with Peter Parker in it.

He likes some black superheroes like Blade, Black Panther, and Prowler (but I don't know what story he knows him from.) and he's vaguely aware that there are some Spider-Men that aren't Peter but Peter is the one he is interested in reading about.

>>90253451
>has only read Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and some old Spider-Man comics collected in trades that my friend has bought him.

That kid is going to grow up to have some pretty top notch tastes.

If he watched Spider-Man TAS then it's from that.

>>90251908
Well most Latino/Hispanic characters tend to be Americans or written by writers who are Americans and whose only perception of Latinos and Hispanics are the American ones.

And most of them are Chicanos or Puerto Ricans and sometimes Cuban-Americans and unless you're from those groups you probably won't identify with them and to the average Latin American they are just another character.

Aracely and Massacre (who is a guy with a machete who dresses up as Deadpool) are probably the only characters I consider to be truly Mexican since they're actually from Mexico, they don't do the Spanglish shit and in Massacre's case he speaks pure Spanish and Duggan gets someone who actually knows the language to write him.

Rictor I guess is cool too at least after he got over the 90's and stopped thay "Dios mio" shit.
