History YMMV / SpiderVerse

----

* FanDislikedExplanation: When fans pointed out that the universe designations for ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' differed from what was listed in the databooks, Slott responded that he was disregarding the databooks and wikis as non-canon and was free to retcon the universe designations not already given in-comic. The [[TheWikiRule Marvel Comics Database]] - which is based on the ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z'' databooks - chose to [[FanonDiscontinuity disregard Slott's statement as non-canon]] and listed the universes with retconned designations - and the characters from them - as being alternate universes instead, which has created confusion amongst fans who use the wiki for info and aren't aware of its policies. The editors eventually stepped in and said that the databooks ''are'' canon where not contradicted by the comics.

** Editor Alex Alonso said about this storyline [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/slott-unwraps-the-twisted-secrets-of-peter-parkers-spider-verse-adventure "You only get to do something like this once"]]. However, ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' saw ''another'' Spider-Verse series only ''three months'' after the original one ended.

** One of the Spider-Men encountered during the Web Warrior's recruitment drive was a Peter Parker that became the Hobgoblin instead of Spidey. This could've been an interesting character to see interact with other Spiders. [spoiler: Too bad he dies at the end of his short story, taking himself out to slow down Verna.]]

** The conversation that two Spider-Men have about the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy film]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries versions]] of Spider-Man that legally couldn't appear in the comic ([[ScrewedByTheLawyers because Sony had the rights to them]]) becomes hilarious a few weeks later, when Marvel Studios worked out a deal with them to get Spider-Man into the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. Looks like the writers just ran into bad timing. This becomes FridgeHorror when you realize that this reference to them appearing is the last acknowledgement of their existence thanks to the MCU reboot, which, combined with no confirmation of them being among the Spider-Men surviving the event, would indicate they were killed during the event. However, ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' reveals they are alive and well.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Some feel that a line Mayday says to Uncle Ben in ''Spider-Verse Team-Up'' #3, that she hopes that there's a universe where she woke up that morning to eat wheatcakes with her parents and baby brother, is this towards the idea that this Mayday ''isn't'' the real Mayday.
** It's not too far off the mark either, as the old UK Spider-Man comics have a future timeline where the Parkers, Mayday and Benjy are perfectly fine, and the Parker family from the 2009 Clone Saga mini-series were seemingly unaccounted for in this event also. It also helps that this book's Mayday refers to her brother as Benny instead of Benjy.
** [[TakeThatScrappy Peter socking SpOck.]] Some fans previously complained at the anticlimatic ending of Superior Spider-Man, so they found this small moment cathartic.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** The ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' universe is depicted as not even ''knowing'' what death is. The series actually averted NeverSayDie with not only Uncle Ben's death still being part of Spider-Man's origin, but with saying kill outright on several occasions.
** The Spider-Man of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' is regarded as being the same as the Spider-Man of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' even though both shows have been confirmed by the official databooks to be separate continuities. Even accounting for the databooks' designations being disregarded, there are several major discrepancies between the two series.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy:
** Fan-favorite characters were gunned down left and right, lighthearted characters were brutalized to prove how 'hardcore' the villains are, the Inheritors were all so overpowered that it seems to render the effort of the heroes as pointless, and the widely-disliked Silk was at the forefront.
** It's hard to care all that much about Patton Parnel, especially considering that the one comic he appears in skips over examining the past that lead him to become what he is and jumped straight to the conclusion of "Here's a Spider-Man that would have been better off never being born." In the end, [[ShootTheShaggyDog he dies an Ugly Character from an Ugly World with an Ugly Future]].

** A lot of Miles' annoyance at [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Spider-Man's]] 4th-wall breaking antics tends to mirror many of the critics of the cartoon.

* BrokenBase: Aspects of ''Spider-Verse''[='=]s divisive nature among the fandom are extensions of longer-running divisive issues within the ''Spider-Man'' fandom -- namely its status as a tie-in to [[ComicBook/JMSSpiderMan one of the less-fondly remembered runs]]; and with Dan Slott's direction as the main writer of Spider-Man, particularly ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan''.

* ContinuityLockOut: If you don't know about what's happening over in ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers, you wouldn't know why the Captain Britain Corps doesn't intervene, and they come off like pompous jackasses. In reality, they're more focused on the destruction of entire universes as opposed to just Spider-Men.
