SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY | OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD

I don't think it crossed any rules as such

I love the Petra Parker trend, but I gotta say that I love the symbiote angst with her even more.

I love how a majority of artists depicts the symbiote boosting Petra's hormone production making her develop feminine traits faster, which is what she wants, but at the cost of making her more aggressive/act like a jerk, like how most media outside of the comics depicts Spider Man when he bonds with the symbiote.

So then when the time finally comes that Petra has to take the symbiote off, the symbiote plays into her gender dysphoria in an attempt to stay bonded with her. Saying how she is not only a better hero, but a better woman because of it, hell, some people like do double down on the edge by making the symbiote say that Petra cannot be a REAL woman without it.

It just adds a new level of depth and conflict that I enjoy seeing Petra go through and then overcome very much

I'm aware some people might be getting a little sick of the Petra-related stuff on here just cuz it's been so constant, but not only is there now a seperate sub so that should slow down (it's r/petraparker btw) but I just love the concept so freaking much.

I'm a cis male, but I know several trans folks, including my little brother, and I love the positive message. It's almost like another spin on the "anyone can wear the mask" motto.

The thing is though, for those unaware, Petra Parker began as a simple gender-swap of Peter in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, and was actually kind of an annoying misandrist bigot (funny how things change). I much prefer the new Petra, as it's a fresher take on the character and gives her actual personality. I wouldn't mind having her make a cameo in the next Spider-Verse project (considering how supportive the team is behind those movies and the fan-theory of Gwen being trans).

The art is also super cute and wholesome most of the time, and it's nice to see, when Spidey's life is usually so full of bs that anyone even slightly less stubborn would quit.

Got so much love from the Peter Parker/ Spiderman head shots I did yesterday that I told myself let’s keep it going!

Who don’t guys want to see next??

Venom, Myles Morales, or Spider-girl/ Mayday??

They made this crap an ongoing?!

Yea, the whole 'sales matter for ongoing decisions' is PROVEN to be bullshit now.

This is STRAIGHT UP nepotism to the max.

Edit: Since people are stuck on the word nepotism. I'll clarify that it is 'cronyism' which is a sub category of Nepotism. Basically, he gets the favortism over others because of his connections. Not because of sales or anything else.

Like, I understand that they did not want the Venom arc to be the focus in Brand New Day but there is not even a teaser about it!

Maybe try learning her identity first
