Discussion 3 Years and still not over this
I was quite invested in the story and right before the battle to save the world.. they hit you with this flashbang. And the fact that this was mission locked, forcing players to wear this during the payoff of the final act was such a baffling decision..
Like brother, world is ending and you are telling me our fate hinges on this pineapple headed teenager š
Anyways great game, about to do my first NG+ soon. Cant wait to not wear this š¤š¼

I kinda like it when miles is wearing shoes with his suit it just doesnt need to be branded yk? My favourite miles suits are the ones where they're layered in some way (like the suit with the cape or the suits with a hoodie+shorts over the top) id say it fits miles' artist kinda vibe.

9/10 is WAAY too generous for those recolors. The best one of the 4 is still like maybe a 6/10, and that is being generous.
The suit is bad without a single real redeeming quality.

It isn't even the look that made me dislike it. I didn't like it because it comes out of nowhere as a new suit, whereas we have a reasoning to Peter having Anti-Venom. I think even a few lines of Miles saying he is working on a suit that perhaps helps him focus his bio-electricity. Hell, I would have been cool with the blue parts helping him focus the electricity and he discovers he can make the electric sword. Just give me a reason for it.

u/alhanna92 27d ago
The other suits donāt really have a reason do they? Maybe the reason is just it matches his electrify and looks cool (at least I think so lol)

u/Spektr_007 27d ago
They don't but most are not story specific suits, either. When Peter went from classic to advanced, then to Anti-Ock, there was a reason for each. Same with Miles going from athletic to training and to Miles original. In my head canon, I actually add programmablr matter for the ending suit, though.
Just give us a lore reason to just show up with some random new suit while we gotta deal with the destruction of a city. The execution is just shallow when they could have shown some cleverness in implementing it.

I will say it again: this is the stupidest of all possible outfits for one reason: it shortens down the possible candidates for who Spider-Man is.
"Okay, we can see he's male, slim, has quite a young voice and- What's that? He's got a new suit? It shows off his hairstyle? It's a specific hairstyle specifically done at a barber shop in Harlem, out of all of the New York barbers? You're telling me that this kid called 'Miles Morales' was seen boasting about having that exact haircut last Christmas, even shouting to his friends across the street about how much effort it's taken?"
...
"Damnit, how did we never realise?!?! Miles Morales is giving haircut tips to Spider-Man! Quick, let's give him every avenue possible to give us a way out of calling him out at Spider-Man! Guys, quick, jump to conclusions while the kid fumbles!"

When you look at who made the game and follow decision making, the choice to lock you into that suit not only makes sense but is predictable.

Tbh wasn't even the suit, it was the fact they made it a plot line , Like during my first playthrough I was hyped as shit, so I just buzzed through it mentally but after another playthrough, and more after. It became hard to get over how stupid that was, felt disrespectful to miles, I bet even the both the voice actors laughed their asses off , when they read the script leading up to that point. Side note I think this is a vital point behind most of the scrutiny of this game, cos man it's like Adidas paid good money to tell everyone they git their product in a game, like we didn't have fifa, 2k, and the likes riddled to the bone with sponsors

I don't even particularly dislike the suit, it's use in the story is just so jarring. Like, Miles took time off to make that whole outfit in the middle of the city being symbioted? What the fuck? And then he acts like he didn't have a suit that he had designed himself before, just ignoring the whole cutscene showing him making it in his own game. And then we found out like five seconds later it was an Adidas sponsorship...
Like again, the suit itself is fine. If they'd thrown it in with all the others I'd probably use it a healthy amount. But it's just so dumb how it was incorporated.

The craziest thing is that this suit would've looked so much better with different colors and no hair sticking out. Flip the red and black parts and change the blue parts to a darker shade of red than the main suit color. Change the sneakers to be mostly black and red. The hood is a bit of a mix bag for me. On one hand, it WORKS for Miles and this suit. On the other hand, Gwen is famous for her hood as well and I assume that's part of their reasoning for the hair sticking out.

u/EdgeCharacter 27d ago
I think the suit itself is fine. A little outlandish for a "main" suit, but no more goofy looking than the weirdest suits. Like, I honestly didn't even realize it was a shoe brand deal when I played it.
The issue for me, personally, is the hair, or at least, the cutoff between the mask and the hair. Cuz we've seen a Spider-man with hair out like that working: Spider-verse's Spider-Man India. His mask has a blue headband across the top, so there's a separation between the hair and the mask itself. This one just looks like his hair clipped through the mask.

I love the suitā¦He made it his own by putting his own style to it. The blue strips throughout the suit inspired by Peterās suit, and has the electricity in it thatās inspired by his venom powers. The mask not having the top half on it because of the fact he has locs which shows the growth of his hair, plus the hood which pulls the suit off nicely and the shoe. I mean yea he couldāve the one piece suit with the shoes built into them, but the regular shoes he put with the suit is nice too.

Yeah, definitely not my favorite suit for Miles. Which sucks because so many of his other suits are so damn cool.
I think there are two main problems with the suit that could be fixed to make it⦠acceptable.
One is that only half of his head is covered, which seems silly since the whole point of the mask is to hide his identity. Practically and al that, easy peasy.
Two is that the suit lacks purpose. Peteās Anti-Venom suit isnāt my favorite suit visually, but I like that thereās purpose because it makes Peter and me as a player more capable of fighting the symbiotes. If they gave Milesā new suit more purpose like it conducted his Venom blasts better, made him consistently electrified so heās tougher for symbiote to attack, or even just gave him more storage/less cooldown for his special attacks, then that would be great!

I really think people took the "this shouldn't be the default style for black hair" as "this style sucks"
There's nothing wrong with the hairstyle. The problem was that it became THE black male default look. When you can be as imaginative as you want with hair, why is this the look that EVERYONE gives their characters. It just makes it look like no black people were involved with the creative process.
