They are not even comparable in godhood. Anansi holds dominion over the Web of Heaven, who is basically Yggdrasil by another name and some more, a hyper-transdimensional structure that encompasses, connects and binds the entire multiverse altogether. Loki has maybe become the God of Stories, but Anansi *created Story.*
You misspelled Peter Parker. He was the first spiderman. Stan Lee wrote him first. So technically Peter Parker is the first spiderman. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Not even counting multiverses, it feels like every Marvel character has at least 10 versions of their character that exist, or existed before they did. Theyll have a prehistoric version, a god version, a civil rights version, a medievil version, etc.
Same with DC actually. There's usually spinoff characters based off popular characters, female/race swapped characters and kid versions. I'm not sure what 'civil rights' version implies though...and medieval versions don't come into play unless time travel is involved or crossover multiversal stuff.
I honestly hate it lol, I wish they’d stop doing this it really weakens the individuality and uniqueness of the character when there are 50 other people who can do the exact same thing, some even better
I mean its how time and history have always worked. It’s a cycle. The spiders save the world, peace comes about for too long. Some villain starts something somewhere bcz they’re bored of the mundane existence. Then a new spidey arises in that era. It’s all there in our history too with real life. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Hard times=strong men. Cycle repeats
@@SaluteTheHarajuku Peter Parker is objectively the original Spiderman. He was created in the 60s. Whatever bs they come up with after that is redundant.

long before Spiderman Peter Parker Anansi was Spiderman. I am Jamaican and such is our folk culture a West African heritage. he always had most of those powers before he was added to the Marvel lore.
@@jadeanomuzik8849 I know the folklore. Anansi's no Spider-Man, he's a trickster in morality tales and so on and so forth. Spider-Man had no connection to Anansi and still shouldn't, they started messing up the origin years ago with this supernatural spin on his origin.
Anansi is a cool mythological figure but it makes the other spider guys less sprcial if some dude just shows up handing out and taking spider powers at whim.
I've been reading Spider-Man since the 80s and I'm fine with it. Peter Parker and Ben Reilly are still my heroes and Anansi the MFing Spider being a major part of Spider-Totem lore doesn't put that in jeopardy at all, imo. If anything, I'd like to see much more of Anansi. He just needs to be fleshed out and made more complex than what we're seeing here. The IRL Anansi stories are fire - from the parables all the way to Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys."
@@blankuser3158 The reason it is relevant is that a common myth about comic book fans is that they eventually become purists who attach themselves to particular eras and often eschew newer tales, alternate takes, and retcons. I've seen lots of stories. The naive assumption would be that eventually, a reader like me would probably become jaded by seeing their favorite stories being "overruled" by some newer story which doesn't hold the nostalgia for them. But Anansi _doesn't_ make "the other spider guys less special" to me. Nothing can take that away. It would be unwise for me to be sour about newer stories that seem to contradict the old in some way, because I'd only be injuring my own capacity for enjoyment. I can hold the stories apart as unconnected tales, each enjoyable in their own right. Or I can hold them together and enjoy them as a whole. But I won't let them conflict too much within me, if that makes sense. That is an approach gained over time, facing the ceaseless waves of new stories and retellings. It is not a way of framing comic books which _most_ readers start with. In a way, it can be seen as a learned defense mechanism for guarding the joy of reading comics from eroding over time.
@@cooldude2027It's still wearing itself thin. Clone Saga is so poorly remembered because marketing wouldn't let them move on. It wore itself very thin and was one of the reasons comics nearly fell apart. Just because like Thor, Anansi is a piece of myth in real life we're supposed to what? Love the character automatically? No.
@@angrytheclown801 I wouldn’t say “Iove automatically” I’m just saying that he should be an exception to the fatigue of multiple spider people since he’s based of real myth. And I might just be a little peeved with the amount of people going “oF cOUrsE hE’s BLacK” towards the African Spider God of real mythology
@@cooldude2027 Well of course he's black, he's a Ghana legend. I don't care about that. I'm also unmoved that he actually exists in real life as a legend, that doesn't matter. What matters is instead of being an interesting character who happens to be black, he'll be a recycled bag of bad ideas we're supposed to accept because he's black, and this current crop of writers couldn't write their way out of a paper bag. Him being black isn't about representation, never has been. Representation isn't as big a panic as the current writers make it out to be because there's a ton of minority characters that deserve a spotlight they refuse to give them. For them, the skin is just an excuse to do the bare minimum.
@@angrytheclown801 I don’t really care about the skin color I’m just more intrigued in by him being a mythology character like Thor or Hercules. Always found it interesting when they use real life mythology and give it more connection
@@who_is_gustPretty much. If you have any skills for critique and comparison then you can easily see how downhill the quality of media has gone over these past years.

Now its like oh yea and btw.. This one was first, and he's the best, oh and he's also god, and everyone worships him.. He not only makes your powers but can also take them away..

I'm all for Anansi being brought into Marvel as a trickster spider god in keeping with African folklore, but this whole idea of him being the one who gave all the spider heroes their power is trash. The whole idea of the spider heroes going from scientific origin to magic origin is garbage. Why was that retcon necessary?
@@lyssanch3096oh u mean this story is uninspired even though it's made by the guy that fking saved spiderman comics in the early 2000s jsm , literally is meant to connect real mythology to marvel like how they been doing for almost a century of comics
They want the original Spider-Man to be anyone other than Peter Parker so bad whenever he's the one who gave the character its relevance and meaning in the first place😂
@@doe8939 i know who anasi is and his myths and the akan mythology he's from and no Stan lee did not. He got the idea from watching a fly land on a wall he has told that story many times what you were referring to is the web of life story lines that were added later by like almost 50 years and he almost completely stopped writing the character by the time Captain Stacey died. And the reason he based it off of a spider was because of a novel crime fighter called the spider as well as other depictions of media at that time like the shadow.
I hope you are not thinking for him to be original overall......If you were actually a fan you would know that the original comics made sure that Peter Parker wasn't even thought to be original other than belonging to our universe. There was always an original spiderman, whether it is this guy we are shown or someone else that Lee had in mind but Peter Parker was never chosen as original. From the start he was a kid spider while the other spiders in the original comics were adults, that should had already been a no brainer that he wasn't an original. Some people say that it was mistake and Parker should had been the original and I can understand that. Whether the adult spiders was a mistake that they forgot to think about it not, once it was published they knew they couldn't possibly have Peter Parker being original because how would that make sense now? Especially since adult spiders existed in the old comics while our spider was still just a teen.
@@royalbee1283 Mate I don't even know what kind of word vomit that you just through together but Amazing Fantasy 15 is the first appearance of Spider-Man ever as an idea period making Peter Parker the original Spider-Man I don't know what you're on about.
That's totally deeply inspired by the real myths from Africa where there's a trickster spider god (who is also a shapeshifter) that isn't really evil but loves mischief. Cool reference to that from the comics
I miss when hulk was just the dude who got his power from gamma radiation, or when the first iron was captured which led him to make his first suit 😂😂😂 grow bud
@@nicksonleslie7366 I see the angle that person was going at though. Almost every character now has some crazy cosmic link to their origin story these days. It's just the oversaturation of cosmic origins for everyone is what bothers us abit. I not against it just needs to settle down abit.
@@trustworthyh3ro267exactly. Now the cosmic/god stuff is just an easy way for lazy comics writers. The Hulk stories are just a mess so far. For years Peter David did a fantastic job and wrote great stories without the absurd 'green door' concept.
@@trustworthyh3ro267its a contemporary trend. There's always been a fad of the time. Spider-man and hulk both came about because of the fear and obsession with radioactive and nuclear power. Captain America and Superman were war time comics that soldiers looked forward to reading. Spider-man 2099 and Cable as well as a ton of others were a product of the time travel and future obsession. We're in our "space age" now and it shows in our media.
That ist true, Peter can't beat Stan Li because he is from another realm and has zero power. Kwaku will also have to fight Stan Li as well to claim that throne, but he can't because Stan Li is beyond their reach.@@GrossSisters
Wait, I thought the Egyptian goddess Neith is the one who created the Web of Life and Destiny and that's where the spider powers come from. I'm not certain of this, so no one jump down my throat. I'm really just asking if anyone else has read this also. Edit: the Anansi stories for the creation of the spider powers came before the Neith version of their creation
Actually they mostly wrote him out of Marvel comics because they thought the idea of a god being 'the original spider-man' and having a similar costume was ridiculous, so they replaced Anansi with the god 'The Other', and Madame Web could divine the webs of life The Other was connected with. Anansi only appears a few times in Marvel books with mythology characters, I don't think he's associated with Spider-man anymore.
The dumbest thing I’ve heard all the day. Modern comic writers trying to destroy the legacy of Peter Parker, the first Spider-Man put on pen and paper.
Yeah, i was just reading my issue of amazing spider-man #1 at home, when the Marvel secret police broke down my door and burnt it. I assume they came and scribbled Anansi over every mention of a radioactive spider in your collection too huh?
@@Jay_Tsunami_yeah but making him an omnipotent god that just wills radioactive spiders in other dimensions to make spider men for no reason is stupid asf
Im slightly familiar with the existence of a Spider God. But beyond the irl inspiration for this character, he feels like an amalgamation of my love for SpiderMan growing up. I had SpiderMan everything! And now he’s recognized as he should be and not just a fun co-main character. God status officially unlocked
@@localcringelordjr odd how comics were doing relatively fine for decades until the past five or ten years when they started doing too much. Like this.
@@localcringelordjr he meant as in the reader could imagine themselves as Spider-Man. He didn’t mean there should be a thousand spider men in the comics.
I actually kinda of agree with you, the more spider concepts are integrated into the lore, the more confusion about how it works. I would prefer if, for example, you integrate this character into Spider Noir stories, as his powers come from one of the Spider Totems, as far as I know, so you can create different dynamics between the god that provides and judges on how the gifted ones use his power.

They do not tell you this in school, but the Anansi spider was used as a symbol a freedom to fight slave masters during colonialization. Also, Spider-Punk absolutely has the spirit of Anansi coursing through his veins, that’s why I think he was so important in the Spider-Verse movie. From wiki: Taking the role of a trickster, he is also one of the most important characters of West African, African American and West Indian folklore. Originating in Ghana, these spider tales were transmitted to the Caribbean by way of the transatlantic slave trade.”
Spider punk is a made up character. He’s as strong as the writers want him to be or as weak as they want him to be depending on the story. You need to live in reality, dude.

Same with DC actually. There's usually spinoff characters based off popular characters, female/race swapped characters and kid versions. I'm not sure what 'civil rights' version implies though...and medieval versions don't come into play unless time travel is involved or crossover multiversal stuff.
U are racist !! Lol what does “civil rights” version mean?
I honestly hate it lol, I wish they’d stop doing this it really weakens the individuality and uniqueness of the character when there are 50 other people who can do the exact same thing, some even better
Then there’s Spider-Man who has hundreds 😂
I mean its how time and history have always worked. It’s a cycle. The spiders save the world, peace comes about for too long. Some villain starts something somewhere bcz they’re bored of the mundane existence. Then a new spidey arises in that era. It’s all there in our history too with real life. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Hard times=strong men. Cycle repeats

Anansi is a cool mythological figure but it makes the other spider guys less sprcial if some dude just shows up handing out and taking spider powers at whim.
My thoughts exactly. Inclusion is not even close to being as important as story
I've been reading Spider-Man since the 80s and I'm fine with it. Peter Parker and Ben Reilly are still my heroes and Anansi the MFing Spider being a major part of Spider-Totem lore doesn't put that in jeopardy at all, imo.
If anything, I'd like to see much more of Anansi. He just needs to be fleshed out and made more complex than what we're seeing here. The IRL Anansi stories are fire - from the parables all the way to Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys."
@@mypetoc you're allowed to have that opinion. Reading it since the 80s doesn't give any more or less validity to it though
@@blankuser3158 The reason it is relevant is that a common myth about comic book fans is that they eventually become purists who attach themselves to particular eras and often eschew newer tales, alternate takes, and retcons.
I've seen lots of stories. The naive assumption would be that eventually, a reader like me would probably become jaded by seeing their favorite stories being "overruled" by some newer story which doesn't hold the nostalgia for them.
But Anansi _doesn't_ make "the other spider guys less special" to me. Nothing can take that away. It would be unwise for me to be sour about newer stories that seem to contradict the old in some way, because I'd only be injuring my own capacity for enjoyment.
I can hold the stories apart as unconnected tales, each enjoyable in their own right. Or I can hold them together and enjoy them as a whole. But I won't let them conflict too much within me, if that makes sense. That is an approach gained over time, facing the ceaseless waves of new stories and retellings. It is not a way of framing comic books which _most_ readers start with.
In a way, it can be seen as a learned defense mechanism for guarding the joy of reading comics from eroding over time.
@@mypetoc okay, I disagree. I think it does wreck things, and that's relevant because I'm a consumer and not because of how long I've been consuming

@@cooldude2027It's still wearing itself thin. Clone Saga is so poorly remembered because marketing wouldn't let them move on.

No.
@@angrytheclown801 I wouldn’t say “Iove automatically” I’m just saying that he should be an exception to the fatigue of multiple spider people since he’s based of real myth. And I might just be a little peeved with the amount of people going “oF cOUrsE hE’s BLacK” towards the African Spider God of real mythology
@@cooldude2027 Well of course he's black, he's a Ghana legend. I don't care about that. I'm also unmoved that he actually exists in real life as a legend, that doesn't matter. What matters is instead of being an interesting character who happens to be black, he'll be a recycled bag of bad ideas we're supposed to accept because he's black, and this current crop of writers couldn't write their way out of a paper bag.
Him being black isn't about representation, never has been. Representation isn't as big a panic as the current writers make it out to be because there's a ton of minority characters that deserve a spotlight they refuse to give them. For them, the skin is just an excuse to do the bare minimum.
@@angrytheclown801 I don’t really care about the skin color I’m just more intrigued in by him being a mythology character like Thor or Hercules. Always found it interesting when they use real life mythology and give it more connection

Anansi has historical and cultural origins Stan Lee based Spider-Man off that
Brain dead comment
@@doe8939 i know who anasi is and his myths and the akan mythology he's from and no Stan lee did not. He got the idea from watching a fly land on a wall he has told that story many times what you were referring to is the web of life story lines that were added later by like almost 50 years and he almost completely stopped writing the character by the time Captain Stacey died. And the reason he based it off of a spider was because of a novel crime fighter called the spider as well as other depictions of media at that time like the shadow.
I hope you are not thinking for him to be original overall......If you were actually a fan you would know that the original comics made sure that Peter Parker wasn't even thought to be original other than belonging to our universe. There was always an original spiderman, whether it is this guy we are shown or someone else that Lee had in mind but Peter Parker was never chosen as original. From the start he was a kid spider while the other spiders in the original comics were adults, that should had already been a no brainer that he wasn't an original.
Some people say that it was mistake and Parker should had been the original and I can understand that. Whether the adult spiders was a mistake that they forgot to think about it not, once it was published they knew they couldn't possibly have Peter Parker being original because how would that make sense now? Especially since adult spiders existed in the old comics while our spider was still just a teen.
@@royalbee1283 Mate I don't even know what kind of word vomit that you just through together but Amazing Fantasy 15 is the first appearance of Spider-Man ever as an idea period making Peter Parker the original Spider-Man I don't know what you're on about.
That's totally deeply inspired by the real myths from Africa where there's a trickster spider god (who is also a shapeshifter) that isn't really evil but loves mischief. Cool reference to that from the comics
Being bitten by a radio-active spider doesn't require magic or gods.

Feeling the need to justify greatness in lore is what eventually destroys it. Classic Spidey lore was the GOAT.
Wait, I thought the Egyptian goddess Neith is the one who created the Web of Life and Destiny and that's where the spider powers come from. I'm not certain of this, so no one jump down my throat. I'm really just asking if anyone else has read this also.
Edit: the Anansi stories for the creation of the spider powers came before the Neith version of their creation
For the people of Wakanda, the Egyptian and Yoruba or voodoo gods are a unified pantheon. MAYBE they are following this reasoning to tell the story.
While yes, anansi came first; both stories can be compatible, showing Neith be the spider goddess, and Anansi being the first totem
What's the point of madam web now if this guy is the start of everything?
Actually they mostly wrote him out of Marvel comics because they thought the idea of a god being 'the original spider-man' and having a similar costume was ridiculous, so they replaced Anansi with the god 'The Other', and Madame Web could divine the webs of life The Other was connected with.
Anansi only appears a few times in Marvel books with mythology characters, I don't think he's associated with Spider-man anymore.
Frankly it's almost odd he didn't show up earlier than he did... He's not a new deity in any pantheon
he is not the first spiderman bro, according to the marvel comics he is just a Spider God that lives in west africa

Remeber when spiderman was just about a teenager getting bit by a spider 😅
I like the MF DOOM song you used, ALL CAPS
They do not tell you this in school, but the Anansi spider was used as a symbol a freedom to fight slave masters during colonialization. Also, Spider-Punk absolutely has the spirit of Anansi coursing through his veins, that’s why I think he was so important in the Spider-Verse movie.
From wiki:
Taking the role of a trickster, he is also one of the most important characters of West African, African American and West Indian folklore. Originating in Ghana, these spider tales were transmitted to the Caribbean by way of the transatlantic slave trade.”
They also stopped teaching you in school that Africans sold off conquered Africans to Spaniards and Europeans. But we cherry pick history now
And Peter 616 is his direct descendant
Maybe he might be an upcoming character in the triology?

Spider punk is a made up character. He’s as strong as the writers want him to be or as weak as they want him to be depending on the story. You need to live in reality, dude.
