This movie is so good you guys. Just wanted to get that out there, not sure if anyone committed to this objectively correct assessment yet.

And hell, Miles Morales isn't just a fresh and interesting character for an African-American kid, but in general. He's got a very millennial/Gen Z deal of being at an awkward juncture when he's told he has to figure out what kind of man he wants to be but not given any convincing models as to what exactly that should look like- both as an ordinary person and as Spider-man- and has to navigate the wreckage left by the mistakes of his elders.

Yeah, Miles is a great example of how true diversity, with inclusive policies both behind and in front of the camera (such as it is, in this case), creates real positive change that benefits everyone. The rising tide lifts all boats.

It would work really well condensed into movie format, too.

I know absolutely nothing about Miguel and I don't see how he stands out as futuristic when Spiderman is inherently science-fiction.

It's mostly the setting, although some of his powers work differently due to his origin (having part of his genetic code merged with spider DNA in a sabotaged experimental procedure). Instead of a spider-sense his vision is enhanced, allowing him to see in total darkness, much farther with clarity than a normal person and perceive things at great speeds that would just be a blur to others; he also has highly sensitive and selective hearing. Miguel's upper canines are slightly elongated into fangs which produce a powerful paralytic venom, and instead of being able to stick to surfaces with whatever magic effect most other spider-people do, he physically latches onto them with small claws on his hands and feet. And finally, spinners just above Miguel's wrists in his upper forearms produce organic webbing, though functionally it's about the same as modern Spidey's synthetic webbing where it counts.

Although speaking of science fiction, his costume is made of unstable molecules like the modern-day Fantastic Four's and lets him use his claws and fangs without ripping it up, and the web cape contains modest anti-gravity technology which allows him a measure of gliding/air control and a parachuting effect that slows his descent in freefall.
