Ganke should have been Spider-Man. He has more personality than Miles and Asian protagonists are underrepresented in comics as well.

At least he's not as whiny?

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
At least that would be a distinguishing character trait.

Compared to who, though, besides Peter Parker?

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what you're asking but just off the top of my head Miles' dad has more characterization than his son.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
wait you don't like spiderman

what

what

i'm absolutely shocked

you've never said anything about that before

not once or even a million times about how you find him whiny and unlikable

maybe you should say something the next time anyone peripherally mentions spiderman like you don't do every time he comes up

If it makes you feel better, your Peter Parker hate always makes me laugh (because yeah, I think he's whiny too)

Yeah it's kind of my shtick at this point.

Ooooh, I like his costume.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-07 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Me, too!

I'm glad people think he's boring- he lacks about 85% of the stereotyping you normally get with PoC, and that makes me happy because I can relate with that.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
...So...you're boring?

DA

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
LOL well played anon

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I don't understand this at all.

I can get being happy that there isn't a lot of stereotyping going on. But I can't get being happy that a PoC character has no personality, and is only interesting because they're a PoC.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I really liked him before the time-skip, but now, yeah, I agree he's pretty boring. It's like his personality is "teenager". There's nothing particularly notable about him.

Ganke is a much more interesting character.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same here. They kind of drained his sense of humour and his crankiness away.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Characters with flaws are the most interesting.

I imagine they're terrified to give him any flaws because of his race, and that's just fucking dumb. GIVE HIM FLAWS.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
It seemed to me like he had the Jacob Taylor (Mass Effect) Syndrome really bad-- which is to say, it feels like the creators were so afraid of offending by making him do anything that could vaguely be construed as stereotypical that they just sort of...deleted any possible personality he might have had. It's a shame, too, I was super-excited about him at the start. :(

(Anonymous) 2014-05-08 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh indeed. I don't follow this Spiderman comic but I totally know what you mean about "Jacob syndrome". Jacob was... just there. I didn't hate him, I didn't love him, he just did nothing for me. It was really disappointing when compared with all the other quirky characters in the game. I really wanted to like Jacob but didn't find anything to grasp onto.

Funny that they were so afraid of that and then turned around and made him the most stereotypical unfaithful-asshole-with-daddy-issues-and-a-baby's-momma around.
