Worlds Collide - Spider-man voiced by Big Time voice actor
The reason for the new Spider-girl is because the previous one was Peter Parker's daughter in the future. After O.M.D., that character was wiped completely from continuity and replaced with a current time line character.
You are probably questioning why I was doing consumer research on a comic series I say I'm boycotting. Well, I am a huge fan of the current artist, Humberto Ramos, lead artist of Crimson. I've been considering just buying this story in the trade paperback and keeping the boycott going for any further stories.
As I was surfing youtube looking into Big Time. I came across a trailer. I thought I would give it a shot, but the first voice I heard was unmistakable. I've been hearing it for years in dub work on some pretty big animes. Now, I haven't been able to confirm this independently, but the voice of Spider-man in this trailer is non other than the voice English dub voice of Vash the Stampede, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Lelouch Lamperouge. You got it, Johnny Yong Bosch. He has past credit in TV series such as Power Rangers.
Johnny does a pretty decent job as Peter Parker. I will say, my favorite Spider-man voice is still Neil Patrick Harris.
I'm always taken how users are always telling me to "Give Big Time a shot.". They go on with their praise and try and make the case that it all makes up for what Quesada did in the past. Far as I see it. You don't get credit and praise for fixing what you purposefully broke. Yes, things may have changed, but so what? How long until Marvel undoes these changes and treats them as if they never happened? Nothing ever has any meaning or consequence. There is just no more reason for me to care about anything that happens in these series anymore.
There is also this new girlfriend. Why is Peter dating anyone now? Quesada has plainly stated that this will never go anywhere. He thinks Peter shouldn't be married and Marvel obviously agreed. The fun about reading relationships is that you never know where it's going to go. Could this relationship end next month, or could she become the next Mary Jane? Well, she wont. Marvel will never let it go anywhere of interest. To know the outcome from the start is boring. They have telegraphed the outcome of any relationship he will ever have. If this has no meaning but to be the cliche "hide the secret identity from the girlfriend" peril, why is it even in the story? It's meaningless.
I've also gotten push back for my statement now calling Spider-man "Iron Man Jr.". From what I have read, I say it applies. Rather than using his existing powers in new and exciting ways, Spider-man is creating powered suits to deal with new threats. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just this once. He's done special suits in the past, but they are years apart. In a month or so, he's getting another suit. This one appears to be body armor. Will there be another one after that? Both Spider-man and Iron Man now create specific suits in order to deal with a new threat. He's another Iron Man.
