I mean did you really want to see yet another production of Uncle Ben dies and "With Great power etc". It's an active joke in Spider-Verse that such a story is so played out that people know it without any real elaboration.
That's not at all what I said. What I
said is that they take it so far as to actively dance around it, as if even
saying the name 'Uncle Ben' will trigger the bombs to go off, contrast to Sonyman where characters are perfectly comfortable to talk about the incident when it makes sense in context without having to do a full flashback recreation (because those are the only two options I guess????)
Hank Pym isn't a Big Name; Peter Parker is. Aside from Wolverine and MAYBE Captain America, Peter "Spider-Man" Parker is the only pre-MCU character any random member of the general public would be able to recognize. It'd be like if the DCCU decided to have Terry McGinnis rather than Bruce before bombing their portrayal of him hard. Spider-Man is basically THE marvel character, the one who's always been on par with Superman and Batman (particularly Batman - notice how those two get the lions share of their companies' cartoons).
As such, they can do more or less whatever they want with Ant-Man and only comic-book geeks will notice, whereas they change Spiderman too much everybody gets up in arms.
That's the price of using a Big Iconic Figure as your main character. You get name recognition butts in seats, but you also get loads more expectations of what Should Be Included built into those butts in seats.
Yeah and Peter Parker's already had five fucking movies
. People were fucking sick of Peter Parker and the Responsibility Rumba. Disney-Marvel could've used Miles instead of Peter because they're Disney-Marvel and they're utterly bulletproof at this point but they not only cowarded out but made it even worse by actively stealing shit
from Miles to pass off as a 'fresh new take' on Peter, and Into The Spoderverse proved that they had no real reason to do so.
Like to use your analogy imagine if the DCCU brought in Batman but for whatever reason Zack Snyder was lured away from the wheel by promises of snacks and tummy-rubs, and whoever was responsible for The New Batman made him Terry in all but name, right down to suckering himself to a previously-established character as his mentor and having an arc about proving himself a worthy hero in his own right. You would rightly ask "if you're gonna steal from Terry so much why didn't you just fucking use Terry". In fact if anything it'd make
more sense for the DCCU to do that because Dawn Of Justice Batman is some insane blood-hungry burnout who's been doing it too long and already lost Jason Todd offscreen and everyone knows who Batman is already so Terry would slot in naturally
but not really because Batman retired in Beyond because his ailing health forced him to compromise his morals and Snyder Batman has none.
Point is I'm glad Spoderverse exists because it and Sonyman kinda wombocomboed MCU-Spoderman's presumption that they just
had to use Peter and only Peter because he's so i c o n i c (and in fact Spoderverse kinda soured me on Sonyman in retrospect because they build up Miles for so long to so little effect when he can clearly work so well it's kinda lulzy).
