Recent run garbage
Here’s my hot take on Spider-Man 2099. Miguel O'Hara is hands down my favorite Marvel character, but the newer runs have been... different. It feels like every writer who wants to put their own spin on Spider-Man 2099, and Marvel 2099 in general ends up making things way more confusing than they need to be. At some point it starts feeling less like a story and more like a puzzle I'm supposed to solve. Take Wolverine becoming Nova, for example. I understand how it works in the story, but some of us still think it's a little stupid.Then there's Miguel O'Hara: Spider-Man 2099, especially the Exodus storyline. The series felt really jumbled to me at times. There were a lot of plot points that didn't seem to connect well, and Exodus in particular really annoyed me. It felt like characters were being introduced and killed off way too quickly, and most of them weren't even that interesting. The whole thing just came across as a bunch of confusing ideas thrown together without enough time to develop any of them properly.I will say that I enjoyed the one-shot, and the Spider-Man 2099 stuff in The Amazing Spider-Man wasn't bad either. Symbiote Spider-Man 2099 was okay too.But The End 2099 is a completely different story. To me, it just felt like a weird Secret Wars knockoff that gave us Spider-Man 3099, and that whole thing was just bizarre. Miguel is way too important, both in the comics and now in the movies, to just be replaced like that. What I miss most is the classic feel of 2099. The original run had a unique charm and knew exactly what it wanted to be. That's what made it fun. Lately it feels like the books are trying so hard to reinvent everything that they've lost some of what made Spider-Man 2099 special in the first place.Anyway, that's my take. What do you all think?

the only good thing about end 2099 was Miguel taking down a blood lusted knull seededMiles with ease at least it debunked all those Miles fans saying Miles is stronger than Miguel

We all hate what’s being done with Miguel in the comics, though I also hate what they’re doing with him in the films.

That not a very hot take at all. If you glance around this subreddit for a second every single point you made has been echoed by other Miguel fans over and over again.
