Visions is cool, but I think What If has better plots and more interesting character work, I liked them both but I'd rather watch a What If episode over a Visions one anytime of the day
I think Visions takes more chances and is more interesting as an anthology than What-If which tries (and ultimately fails in my opinion) to explore its universe and characters in new and provocative ways.
Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.
The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.
I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.
Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.
Visions is just style over substance, there is not meat on the bones.
ReplyBoth are great, don't get me wrong, however What If has cooler characters and better stories
