History YMMV / SpiderVerse

** Dan Slott's statement that [[spoiler:Spider-Man from ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited Unlimited]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 1994 Spider-Man]]'' are the same character. The way the animated series ended could have led straight to Spider-Verse, and he was already experienced in working with several different Spider-Men.]] However, he's contradicted by the databooks, which the editors maintain ''are'' canon where not contradicted by the comics, and nothing in-comic suggests that to be the case.

*** In response to fanmail pointing out the universe designation discrepancy in regards to ''Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends'' and asking if there was hope for the canon Spider-Friends to have a happy ending, Nick ignored the comment regarding the discrepancy and stated that "There are a lot of universes out there, so maybe there's a version of the Amazing Friends who are still alive. I wouldn't bank on it, though."

** 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 to be separate continuities.

** Fan-favorite characters are getting gunned down left and right, lighthearted characters are getting brutalized to prove how 'hardcore' the villains are, the Inheritors are all so overpowered that it seems to render the effort of the heroes as pointless and the widely-disliked Silk is at the forefront.

* 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 Spiderman's origin, but with saying kill outright on several occasions.

* 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.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Fan-favourite characters are getting gunned down left and right, lighthearted characters are getting brutalized to prove how 'hardcore' the villains are, the Inheritors are all so overpowered that it seems to render the effort of the heroes as pointless and the widely-disliked Silk is 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 "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]].

* 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 universe's as opposed to just Spider-Men.

** A lot of fans are in denial over Slott's statement that he intends to disregard databases like the [[http://www.marvunapp.com/master/earthteaz.htm#numbered Marvel Universe Appendix]] - which were previously treated as canon - and retcon the universe designations not already featured in comics, stating he doesn't have the authority to make those decisions.

** Silk. The fact that she [[spoiler: got fan favourites such as Spider-Assassin and Old Man Spider killed]] only hurts her case.

* TheyJustDidntCare: Some elements, from Spider-Woman inexplicably changing costumes between issues whilst in the same exact scene and not having moved, to the comments about [[spoiler:Leopardon being reconstructed through "future tech and steam power"]] (which is not how it happened) makes some readers believe that both the writers (especially Dan Slott) and the editors didn't bother to read some elements of the story they were working on.

** 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.

** [[spoiler:''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' Peter gets killed trying to stop Deamos getting to Mayday & Benjy, meaning we don't get to see the Spider-Man who's married with two children interacting with post-''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' 616!Peter.]]

** [[spoiler:Patton Parnell gets killed before he can encounter any of the other Spiders.]]

** Morlun's older brother Daemos seem to get a lot of heat from fans. Mostly because they consider him just bigger, dumber, more sadistic version of his brother, minus charm and style. Oh, and because [[spoiler:he murdered Spider-Man Unlimited and Mayday Parker's parents]]. At least the other Inheritors tend to stand out more.

* MoralEventHorizon:
** In case you needed to anymore assurance that Morlun is a monster, [[spoiler:we get to see him brutally murder WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends.]]
** Daemos [[spoiler:slaughters ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' (Who is also the main character from the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 1994 animated series]] according to Slott) and dozens of animal-people of Counter Earth and planning to go on and kill the entire planet until Jennix drags him out]]. And just in case that didn't do the job, the next issue [[spoiler: he murders ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' Spider-Girl's parents and boyfriend. And makes it pretty clear he will come after her and her baby brother]].
*** And then he starts toying with the idea of {{rap|eIsASpecialKindOfEvil}}ing Lady Spider.

** It's hard to care all that much about Patton Parnell, 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 "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]].

* CanonSue: Silk gets this reaction from fans. She has many CommonMarySueTraits - origin connected to Peter's, better at using her powers than him despite being in a bunker for years while he was actively fighting crime, mastering many skills from watching television, getting high-paying job despite having no education or experience, getting in love with Peter by pheromone powers and apparently having similiar power to Kaine's Other [[spoiler: which makes her one of the most important people in the Multiverse]]. She is written as entitled and selfish and her behavior constantly gets people either killed [[spoiler:(Spider-Assassin and Old Man Spidey for example)]] or put at risk of death (Spider-Woman, Spider-Man Noir, Anya, Spider-Gwen) and yet she never learns her lesson and we're supposed to like her. There are also the facts that her appearance and story kickstarted and plays a central coincidence with Mayday Parker [[spoiler:(losing her family and having her character turned around by 180 degrees, destroying a colossal part of her appeal)]], she plays SpotlightStealingSquad in first issue of Jessica Drew's new book and there is a big risk Anya Corazon might die [[spoiler:(possibly at Silk's fault, giving her her "Uncle Ben" moment)]] in this event. [[CreatorsPet All of this lead some fans to believe Marvel is pushing Silk by actively screwing over other ladies of Spider-Man family.]]

** Silk. The main reasons are explained in CanonSue. Also, the fact that she [[spoiler: got fan favourites such as Spider-Assassin and Old Man Spider killed]] only hurts her case.

* VillainSue: An accusation given toward most of the Inheritors, but Solus the leader gets plenty of it. Many see him as both dull and ridiculously overpowered compared to everyone else [[spoiler: such as killing Captain Universe and demolishing Leopardon.... only to be subverted as seen in AntiClimaxBoss]].

** It's hard to care all that much about Patton Parnell, especially considering that the one comic he skips over examining the past that lead him to become what he is and jumped straight to the conclusion "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]].

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Fan-favourite characters are getting gunned down left and right, lighthearted characters are getting brutalized to prove how 'hardcore' the villains are, the Inheritors are all so overpowered that it seems to render the effort of the heroes as pointless and the widely-disliked Silk is at the forefront... At this point the book just inspires misery.

* 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 as non-canon and free to retcon the universe designations not already given in-comic. The [[TheWikiRule Marvel Comics Database]] - which is essentially a wiki based on the databooks - chose to [[FanonDiscontinuity disregard Slott's statement as non-canon]] and listed the universes with retconned designations as being alternate universes instead, which has created confusion amongst comic fans who use the wiki for info. The editors eventually stepped in and said that the databooks ''are'' canon where not contradicted by the comics.

* HarsherInHindsight: When Mayday [[spoiler:[[WhatTheHellHero snaps and accuses all the other Spider-Men of being fakes]], with the only ''real'' one being her now-deceased father]], she does so right to Earth-616 Peter's face. Now consider what happened in OneMoreDay, and Quesada's own "controversial" statement that the ComicBook/MarvelComics2 was the natural progression for Peter and Mary Jane's characters. It is either Dan Slott's TakeThat at Quesada and "One More Day", or it is a [[SelfDeprecation somewhat valid condemnation]] of the direction the mainstream Spider-Man has gone.

* CanonSue: Silk gets this reaction from fans. She has many CommonMarySueTraits - origin connected to Peter's, better at using her powers than him despite being in a bunker for years while he was actively fighting crime, mastering many skills from watching television, getting high-paying job despite having no education or experience, getting in love with Peter by pheromone powers and apparently having similiar power to Kaine's Other [[spoiler: which makes her one of the most important people in the Multiverse]]. Some of her traits carry a lot of UnfortunateImplications (she falls into the "Asian Seductress" stereotype and basically has Peter-tailored date-rape powers). She is written as entitled and selfish and her behavior constantly gets people either killed [[spoiler:(Spider-Assassin and Old Man Spidey for example)]] or put at risk of death (Spider-Woman, Spider-Man Noir, Anya, Spider-Gwen) and yet she never learns her lesson and we're supposed to like her. There are also the facts that her appearance and story kickstarted and plays a central coincidence with Mayday Parker [[spoiler:(losing her family and having her character turned around by 180 degrees, destroying colossal part of her appeal)]], she plays SpotlightStealingSquad in first issue of Jessica Drew's new book and there is a big risk Anya Corazon might die [[spoiler:(possibly at Silk's fault, giving her her "Uncle Ben" moment)]] in this event.

** That said, Jessica Drew embodies the AudienceReactions towards Silk, becoming increasingly infuriated with her incompetence, naivety, and NeverMyFault attitude.
** StrangledByTheRedString: The super-powered pheromone attraction between Spider-Man and Silk is this - only Spider-Man is being strangled, and Silk is the one pulling on the red string.
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Fan-favourite characters are getting gunned down left and right, lighthearted characters are getting brutalized to prove how 'hardcore' the villains are, the Inheritors are all so stupidly overpowered that it seems to render the effort of the heroes as pointless and the widely-disliked Silk is at the forefront... At this point the book just inspires misery.

** Slott even takes a shot at his own storytelling when he has Mayday claim that [[spoiler:her mother would "never leave Peter in his moment of greatest need", something that 616 MJ actually did in the closing chapter of ''Superior Spider-Man'']].

* HesJustHiding: The majority's response to [[spoiler:the probable deaths of ComicBook/MarvelComics2 [=MJ=] and May's boyfriend Wes]] as well as the apparent anti-climactic death of [[spoiler:Kaine]].
** [[spoiler: ''Amazing'' #15 revealed that that's the case for all three.]]
* JustHereForGodzilla: Face it, you're probably here to check out your favorite Spidey and see if he or she makes it out alive.

** Silk. The main reasons are explained in CanonSue[=/=]CreatorsPet. Also, the fact that she [[spoiler: got fan favourites such as Spider-Assassin and Old Man Spider killed]] does NOT help her, at all.
* TakeThatScrappy: Seeing Spider-Man (Earth-616 Peter Parker) punch Superior Spider-Man (Earth-616 Otto Octavius/[=SpOck=]) in the face and telling him that he's not in charge of the situation is ''extremely'' satisfying to look at after months of [=SpOck=]'s SmugSuper tirades.

** Jessica Drew's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards Silk can also be seen as this.
