No, that means they're known, not popular. It's like Rey: Nobody cares no matter how much marketing they throw at it or how many popular franchises they hijack because there's nothing interesting about them, no matter how hard Disney tries to tear down the original to make their replacement look good. Nobody gives a shit about Miles at all, and nobody gives a shit about Gwen Stacey as Spider-Whateveritisthisweek aside from the porn.

Jessica Drew literally exists as a character to keep a trademark active and out of anyone else's grasp: There's a reason she's just a random Avenger instead of a book lead. Madam Web (Julia Carpenter) is, at best, NPC plot device character and not someone that's interesting to follow as a hero.

You’re fucking retarded if you think all those people in love with Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse don’t like Miles Morales and Gwen Stacey.
Or I saw that people went crazy for the glorified cameo of a character who was in a one-shot+a few cameos in a terrible event while completely ignoring the lead character (there's a reason she's already in this game). Nobody gives a shit about Miles outside of woketards, even after Disney has spent billions trying to get people to care. Even the woketards don't care about him beyond the checkboxes: If they did they'd have noticed his family was waving the wrong flag in his game before launch.

Yeah, I get it, you’re a moron. You’ve been taking too much culture war bullshit up the ass, it’s back up into your brain, and now you can’t even think anymore.

The Spider-Verse movies, which aren’t made by Disney, are extremely popular movies. Miles Morales and Gwen Stacey are the lead characters in those extremely popular movies, and because of that they are both now popular characters.

You’re bring up the comics but here’s the thing: Nobody gives a fucking shit about the modern comic book industry. Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen can suck a dick all day long in the comics and it doesn’t mean shit because nobody reads the comics. What they do, do however is watch those Sony CGI movies where they’re main characters. If those movies didn’t exist, and those characters were purely comic book characters you’d have a point; but the movies do exist, so going on about some comic event is just fucking stupid. It’s like if today someone said Jeff the Land Shark is a popular Marvel character and you tried to refute the claim by talking about the comic nobody cares about when the character’s popularity comes down to being a character in Marvel Rivals.

Saying Disney spends billions on trying to make Miles Morales popular also makes you sound like an insane idiot. How much do you think they spend on comic books? Marvel Comics as a whole cost Disney nothing. It’s probably why Marvel Comics are so shit, their operating cost is so little they aren’t even worth Disney and Marvel Studios paying any attention to. I’m almost surprised Marvel Studios and Disney don’t just license out the comic business like they do video games to publishers like Penguin Random House, Abrams Books, and Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions’ VIZ Media by now. Disney also is not the one fitting the bill on the Spider-Verse cartoons or the Sony Spider-Man games.

AFAIK Disney has pretty conspicuously not spent ANY money trying to popularize Miles Morales (I don’t follow the MCU, but I don’t think he’s even been cast in it? Maybe name dropped?) and I think they’ve gotten some guff from people about that.
