History YMMV / SpiderVerse

** Spider-Punk is either this, CrazyAwesome, or [[NarmCharm both]].

* ATruceWhileWeGawk: When the Superior Spider-Man murders the Master Weaver to stop the Inheritors' plan, Morlun and Peter pause in beating each other up to stare in horror and call him out.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The [[DeliciousFruitPies Hostess ads]] Spider-Man's death is seen by many as good BlackComedy, particularly since the scene plays out like a comic book Hostess ad gone wrong and the Hostess slogan being used to refer to Spider-Totems as a delicious treat.

** 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.

** 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 editorial "Spidey Kicks Butt" [[http://www.spideykicksbutt.com/YearinReview/Spiderman2005.html has its 2005 retrospective]] make several comments that fall under this:

** The editorial "Spidey Kicks Butt" [[http://www.spideykicksbutt.com/YearinReview/Spiderman2005.html has its 2005 retrospective]] several comments, such as it being unlikely that Morlun will ever appear after J. Michael Straczynski quits writing the book, wondering if Morlun comes from a species that hunts spider-powered people, and mentions the difference in sales numbers indicates how most readers prefer reading something related to the controversial Spider-Totem" drama than a more lighthearted story written by Dan Slott after praising his "Spider-Man[=/=]Human Torch" miniseries. Can double as HarsherInHindsight, considering this own story's divisivness for how dark it got.

** Some have found Peni Parker and the Sp//dr to be incredibly interesting and want more of her. Probably helps that she invokes a lot of anime tropes. The 2018 sequel event would bring her back again, even highlighting her popularity with fans in the solicits. A version of her is even slated to appear in the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' movie.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Solus]], father of [[Characters/SpiderManTheInheritors the Inheritors]], transformed himself into a life-devouring monster and then turned his own family as well. Conquering his own Earth, Solus seeks [[MultiversalConquerer multiversal domination]] by sending the Inheritors to devour countless "Spider-Totem" users, resulting in the deaths of a multitude of heroes. A monstrous tyrant, Solus has some of the users abducted to be devoured by his family in macabre banquets and even attempts to sacrifice young Benjy Parker to summon the ultimate Totem. [[AbusiveParents Having no care for the children]] he has made into monsters, Solus leads them into battle to massacre all the Spider Totem warriors during ''ComicBook/SpiderGeddon'', intending on devouring and dominating all they find in their path.

** The Hobie Brown AU Spider-Man, Spider-Punk got this because of the RuleOfCool premise of his world. While not playing a large role in the event itself, Spider-Punk proved popular enough to get promoted to one of the members of the ''ComicBook/WebWarriors'' and was also confirmed to be taking part of the 2018 sequel, Spider-Geddon.

** Some have found Peni Parker and the Sp//dr to be incredibly interesting and want more of her. Probably doesn't (or does) help that she invokes a lot of anime tropes (and character cameos).

** 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.

** [[ComicBook/SpiderGwen Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman]] from a universe where the spider bit her instead of Peter has become really popular, to the point where some people are begging Marvel to give her an ongoing series. This originated with just the cool costume, but grew once previews came out. This has gotten to the point where they have already decided to give her ''her own series'' before the event is even ''started''.

** ''Old Man Logan'' Spider-Bitch (Ashley Barton) is called Spider-Girl/Woman or her real name in-story, but fans still call her by her original codename (in reference to her being a villain and her name in that story) to avoid confusion with ComicBook/MarvelComics2 Spider-Girl (May "Mayday" Parker). With 616 Spider-Girl fans just go by her name Anya or old codename Arana.
** Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman is called Spider-Gwen to not confuse her with 616 Spider-Woman

* PlayerPunch: The deaths of [[spoiler:the team from ''Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends'']], and later, [[spoiler:the Peter Parker and Mary Jane of the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' continuity]]. AnyoneCanDie, indeed.

%%* 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''.

%%** That the very premise of the event involved bringing back long-time favorites only to kill them off also drew a lot of ire from fans who disliked seeing their childhood memories being treated as CListFodder.
%%** On a similar, though smaller note, some people are sick of Ramos being the artist for the Spider-Man books and can only roll their eyes as he's put to work here as well.
%%** Some fans are worried that some Spider Men/Women will get more focus due to name recognition (Kaine/Ben, Miguel, Jessica, Miles, 616 Peter and [=SpOck=] just to name a few).
%%** The inclusion of Morlun as the main villain again has split fans down the middle, in no small part due to his previous appearances. Some reckon that the character could be redeemed with this arc, others would rather that a different villain took his place as the BigBad of the story.
%%*** Then are those who liked his previous apperances but feel that Slott writes him out of character and that his family does nothing but makes him less mysterious and interesting.
%%** The fact that many of the {{Elseworld}} Spider-Men have received the CListFodder treatment. The most egregious of which being the fan favorite [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 MC2 Peter Parker]], who was married to Mary Jane and fathered Spider-Girl, Mayday Parker.]]
%%** Slott's statement on Twitter that he intended to disregard the universe designations listed in the databooks and databases like the [[http://www.marvunapp.com/master/earthteaz.htm#numbered Marvel Universe Appendix]] - which were previously treated as canon - and retcon the ones not already featured in comics angered a lot of fans. Most notably, the Marvel Comics Database wiki - which was conceived as a digital version of the databooks first and foremost - protested that Slott didn't have the authority to make those sorts of decisions and disregarded his statement, treating the retconned universe designations as being alternates regardless of Marvel's stance regarding them. The editorial response to the controversy was that the databooks ''are'' canon, but only where they don't contradict the content of the comics.
%%*** 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, editor Nick Lowe 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."
%%** Many find that [[spoiler: the survival of [=MC2=]'s Mary Jane and Wes and Mayday's transition from Spider-Girl to Spider-Woman]] is nothing more than a slap to the face, a crappy AuthorsSavingThrow from the writers to save face after the events of ''Amazing'' #8 and the crap she was put through throughout the story and that [[spoiler:her Peter should have just survived instead.]]

** Spider-Ham taking Benjy's place is reminiscent of a scene from {{Willow}}, where the titular character saved another infant from being sacrificed using a "Disappearing pig trick".

* BrokenBase: It's a Marvel Event Comic. Par for the course, really:
** The fact that Dan Slott is writing this invites this from the fandom, particularly those that hated ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan''.
** On a similar, though smaller note, some people are sick of Ramos being the artist for the Spider-Man books and can only roll their eyes as he's put to work here as well.
