#i can't say i'm not disappointed. if youre going to entirely reboot the damn universe every time its mentioned at last do smthn INTERESTIN

[spider-man-2o99]

various fucked-up sm2099 (1992) canon divergence aus that people at marvel COULD be exploring instead of just inevitably rebooting e-928 for the umpteenth time every six years under the guise of “modernizing” 2099:

- literally Anything to do with aaron not dying in the aftermath of miguel’s Spidering   seriously. how WOULD miguel have dealt with having an unpredictable witness running around who not only saw his whole transformation, but also literally tried to kill him--? there’s a lot of room to throw a massive wrench in the early plot of sm2099; the change could be little, or it could send the whole thing off the rails in an entirely different direction!

- the Spidering Machine That Spiders People doesn’t blow up, but, for one reason or another, miguel still no longer has access to a full and uncorrupted file of his DNA anymore.   now he has to work triple-time to sabotage his previous life’s work to keep his little accident a one-time event, while at the same time struggling with his new powers that are getting harder and harder to keep secret. spider-man takes the heat off miguel, and gives him a plausible excuse for any mysterious property damage.

- i dunno, like. maybe actually using the fucking Vulture in an interesting way--   i mean the potential is RIGHT THERE--

- indulge my fanfictions. lean more into The Horrors   it is so casually implied and referenced, earlier on in sm2099, that:   there is always the nonzero potential that miguel could, within certain reason, spontaneously mutate further Spider-bits, and he plumb just doesn’t know whether he will or not at any given time;   alchemax legally owns the people they bring in for Unethical Experiments. that is canon in the text. kasey nash as a person likely does not exist anymore, after issues #4-5, in the eyes of the law;   if spider-man slips up even once, he could go from “vigilante” to “various antagonist’s lab rat” faster than you can say fwizz fwizz;   nueva york is an incredibly blatant surveillance state and the only reason that spider-man can mostly dodge Public Eye cameras Uptown is because george o’hara worked on developing and placing the ones that are around in miguel’s lifetime;   and i could go on and ON-- there are so many horrific implications in 2099 that are just completely disregarded without a second thought, and sm2099 is no exception. there’s so much goddamn Juice for storytelling there PLEASE dig into it a little put that beast (comic) in a situation (horror-focused arc).,,

- idk have the incredible hulk show up or something   he’s my friend i miss him   (really just about any immortal character could show up, but because i hate the maestro with a burning passion, i think it would be a fun “fuck you!” to future imperfect by having bruce banner still just be a quivering wet meow meow of a man with a deep and quiet righteous anger in his heart 100 years later instead of digivolving into some evil dictator fucker. plus i want to know joe fixit’s thoughts on the casino scene by 2099)
