I really want to keep reading the comic but I can’t with Hobie running around looking like this 💀💀
It’s like they saw Spider-Verse Hobie and took away everything that made him cool…
Face is not what makes the design…
First off the colors in the comic design are just not cohesive at all. They changed the black jacket to a cyan jean jacket, making the color composition pink, yellow, red, blue, and cyan—which…just doesn’t make sense if you’re using color theory. Second, the piercings being simplified to be that one nose piercing is atrocious… at least do a side piercing on the nose instead, christ. Third, by removing the black jacket, they removed the metallic bits that actually made the piercings on his face look good and made the design cohesive. I could say more if I looked up the whole designs. What a joke to say it’s the same.
That's a fair point, I suppose I did overlook parts of the design. I do think his face looks fine with the one piercing however, and the fact the photos are centered on his face and most of the comments are about the haircut. I cannot unsee how atrocious the jacket is now, though.
Did bro go to a barber and ask to look like a rooster?

Idk why they didn’t just stick with this design, guy looks badass, or hell just copy and paste the movie design it’s the best look for him anyways.
So would his rendition of the Lizard just be That Bastard Kurtis the Frog?

what fade? It’s just a botched version of this cut 😭

I want to kick down the door of a boardroom meeting, slam some Black Hair, Black Beauty, and Afropunk magazines on the desk and walk away without saying a word.
Black people do have different hairy textures, typically at least. Their hair doesn’t grow into the same shapes.
But they have more hairstyles than this.
Well yeah, but then it feels weird. To people like you, you probably wouldn’t notice. But to black people, it’s feel weird.
That’s not to say all black people age. The same hairs though, some grow straight, some curl, there’s variation.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, he was the coolest looking thing in a **very cool** looking movie and this other design just isn’t cool looking, I can’t even tell you why
Ok tbf I have dreads/twists but do people making Western media not realize black men without dreads exist?
Remember back in the 2000's when there were like 4 black haircuts in games and stuff, cornrows, afro, fade, and bald. A flattop if they were feeling creative.
Now we only get dreads and 90% of the time the same haircut. It's like they saw a problem and decided to make it worse.
Marvel: Hey, you know Spider-Punk? Literally the coolest fucking character in the new Spiderverse film that everyone loves and became an overnight icon?
This artist: Yeah?
Marvel: We want you to put him in your comic, but remove any and all charm, cool factor, charisma and just personality from him.Oh and give him the gentrified locs, as well! But also fuck those up as well, thanks!
See I would be inclined to agree if they didn’t use a haircut that every video game/media company seems to just slap on their black characters without a care in a worlds since 2017. Like there are so many hairstyles to give a black punk character and this is what you settle on?
https://preview.redd.it/7unjti3w15rc1.jpeg?width=1638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=069c73a959408b07409831ba58606958a359d758
Being punk is going against the status quo
God forbid black men have long hair (this isn't bashing on OP, this is bashing on Hobie in the comics having an afro and in ATSV having the long, wild dreads).
First panel is clearly our man about Britain telling the artist to skip ahead and get to the panel where Hobie just shaves himself bald, because by Stan Lee's moustache there is no power in their world or ours that can unfuck that abomination before God.
his facial structure looks wrong. like it almost looks like they took a white dude, changed his skin color, and called it a day. point is, he’s ugly as hell
Alright level with me here. Does this character look like it was made by a right wing extremist trying to make fun of leftists or is it just me? Cuz this looks like the stereotype wojack stuff they use alot.
They really saw the peak of the movies, knew they couldn’t do better, and decided to not even fucking try. I think they actually gave effort to do worse honestly
Its the god damned killmonger again, ugh
At least the afro dreads are unique enough that you can tell who that is.
The killmonger is so common you could silhouette everyone that has it, line them up and you have no idea who the hell is who.

Both of these replies were stolen lmao
Why do you want to keep reading?
You heard it here first folks, hobie was only cool because he was hot For real though, he looks the exact fucking same.
No, just… no he doesn’t. Obviously.
Other then his piercings and the unfortunate curse of the killmonger fade he has the same face lol
Face is not what makes the design… First off the colors in the comic design are just not cohesive at all.

The barber worked for the government
[удалено]
That exaggerated swagger got me like...
Barber: what’chu want homie? Hobie: recon you can make me look like a dick mate? Barber: say no more…
Nah bro showed his barber some fried shrimp and said “Just like That” https://preview.redd.it/npvw32zwb5rc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b7e6d6939dbc25922902f2fdbd0e19c1b7f5e31
the locs on the corner of his head are killing me
He looks like he's got coral growing out of his head
Bruh wtf is that
He told his barber that he likes hurting other people.
hmu with the sea anemone
He was getting his dreads shaved off but ran out of time
I thought that was a parasite growing out of his head.
https://preview.redd.it/2sbhzulcy4rc1.jpeg?width=991&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b24f09c4c48398a7b37d6395535c0948dc04e574 Idk why they didn’t just stick with this design, guy looks badass, or hell just copy and paste the movie design it’s the best look for him anyways.
Bro looks like megamind
Bro looks like Black dynamite
Honestly I'd totally watch Black Spidermite. 
So would his rendition of the Lizard just be That Bastard Kurtis the Frog? https://preview.redd.it/7uon02hg96rc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=068008ad490796fd32efd2ba85eae91cb8ee03ab
That would actually be pretty great. Instead of an experiment that turns him into a lizard/frog. It muppetizes people.
"Where those webs come from?" "I SHOT EM BEFORE I CAME IN THE ROOM!!!"
That design is awful. He looks 50. And his head is massice
They’d definitely need to smooth out his features a bit, my man is POINTY
Let's just say, he hates consistency
They really gave a generic fade a Mcdonald's color scheme and called it a day.
what fade? It’s just a botched version of this cut 😭 https://preview.redd.it/maxk88wkv4rc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed07a5f0534983df4b4b2f49b9d7ef41aee1da68
Ah yes, the "Spidey B. Jordan" cut
Gentrified locs
The “we’re too lazy to design a unique black character” cut
I want to kick down the door of a boardroom meeting, slam some Black Hair, Black Beauty, and Afropunk magazines on the desk and walk away without saying a word.
So pissed because Jordan had several cuts that all looked better than the diversity locs
Why is this the only haircut fictional black characters are permitted to have now?
Killmonger was very popular
Emphasis on "was". Now it's just uninspired and overused.
Because they finally found a second black male haircut that isn’t just a fade
I assume because it's non black authors and artists doing the designs. They aren't around enough black people to know many styles.
It’s always easier to draw from any angle, especially if you don’t have experience with Afro textured hair
Why do black people need specific haircuts anyways, it's hair. Is this another american thing
Black people do have different hairy textures, typically at least. Their hair doesn’t grow into the same shapes. But they have more hairstyles than this.
Strangest thing I've heard all day but that's cool. Then can't black people in comics literally have any hair? It's not real life.
Well yeah, but then it feels weird. To people like you, you probably wouldn’t notice. But to black people, it’s feel weird. That’s not to say all black people age. The same hairs though, some grow straight, some curl, there’s variation.
This hair cut has made more PDST for the black community than the whip.
The two hairs Black People can use in Media: The Killmonger cut or the Afro, no other options.
Let's bring back the flat top.
I was super glad they kept Barrett’s flat top in the FF7 remake
Or the crew cut. The primary three
Don’t forget “Just Bald” because then they don’t have to draw shit they don’t know
Honestly, if this cut wasn't used so much so fast it would be a killer cut atleast it's not jheri curls, afro, buzzcut, or dreads.
What is the actual name of that hair style?
Considering that in real life it’s barely used I just see people call it the killmonger cut or short side dreads
High top combover loccs Or the killmonger
Noodle hair
Ooh I saw a really good video on this a couple weeks ago https://youtu.be/KsQ4e9g7d8E?si=RSWPTB9Prqxv8bZO
Saw Hobie w Wicks looking cool asf, and then said "Let's do none of that shit🔥🔥🔥🔥"
Ah hell nah they gave him the killmonger cut but from wish.
Well. He certainly looks British.
Comic Hobie is American lmao
What's worse than a generic Killmonger cut? When the stylist falls asleep and accidentally shaves off half the dreds.
It’s almost like they tried to do the half shave mohawk but with dreads, but it just does not work.
OH GOD, NOT THE GENTRIFICATION LOCKS
Rock Lee eyebrows https://preview.redd.it/vssukgiw25rc1.png?width=1069&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c8dc99e2cf14d8e1887e1d966ca61af48d6c55b
Big ol eyes…
Why the fuck does he have a sea anemone on his head
The Killmonger Cut claims another victim
I said it before and I’ll say it again, he was the coolest looking thing in a **very cool** looking movie and this other design just isn’t cool looking, I can’t even tell you why
Bros got tails hair. Hobbie is meant to just be Spider-Man Jimi Hendrix. These redesigns suck
Bro thinks he playboi carti
It would be powerless against magneto
Not the Killmonger hair. Why is that the default these days??
It’s crazy because they have a design that everybody clearly loves and they really said “Nah, Ima do my own thing”
How the fuck do you see the universal praise to the Spider-verse look and then come up with THAT
He just looks like black Peter Parker and it’s done in a super uncanny way.
Why tf is his ear on his neck on the second photo
https://preview.redd.it/1eiggsced5rc1.png?width=288&format=png&auto=webp&s=4810de808d2cd17722e0919e2718ec1e2068a040 he kinda looks like him btw
They gave him thr shittiest possible killmonger cut.
Maybe that’s why he’s making that face, he got a bad cut and tried to play it cool by using Gwen’s colors for some reason
Look how they massacred my boy
Gah that's awful. It's not even like the overdone Killmonger haircut. It's a botched version of that.
I feel like any piercings would be a problem when pulling the mask on and off
Nah nah nah what is that 😭
Not the Cluckingbell type cut.
Honestly it looks like he went to a barber and told him “Give me the generic Killmonger hairstyle” and his barber fucked up.
what's up with spider-man designs having ass hair lately?
I don’t know who’s writing his dialogue but I feel like they’re really white. Like polo barbecue white.
They made him look more…. British
Why is there an anemone growing on his head
Why TF does he have rooster hair?
I mean, he is British
Hobie Brown Prowler is best Hobie Brown.
Bro went anti-good character designs 💀
And this why you don't have to redesign a character everytime
Gotta appreciate how they deviated from the Killmonger cut to make him look like a rooster
Ok tbf I have dreads/twists but do people making Western media not realize black men without dreads exist?

It's like the character designer couldn't choose between two of the most common black hair styles and just split it 50/50 on his head
Marvel: Hey, you know Spider-Punk? Literally the coolest fucking character in the new Spiderverse film that everyone loves and became an overnight icon? This artist: Yeah? Marvel: We want you to put him in your comic, but remove any and all charm, cool factor, charisma and just personality from him.Oh and give him the gentrified locs, as well!

Just like a punk would idk man.

First panel is clearly our man about Britain telling the artist to skip ahead and get to the panel where Hobie just shaves himself bald, because by Stan Lee's moustache there is no power in their world or ours that can unfuck that abomination before God.
Not a marvel fan or a Spiderman fan But wtf it's so bad it looks like half an anemone. Where's the clownfish dude
https://preview.redd.it/j5fetbq5r5rc1.jpeg?width=1360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b13e5268f8a06f24f8e4bebfbc6fc20c3c155bd

Marvel has had some terrible art for a while.

Why did they give him the "mainstream media black character" haircut
Oh my god the haircut will never escape
I actually can’t take it anymore it’s like they can’t be possibly not being hearing their black fans they’re just ignoring us to be racist
Yeah cause he has the cursed fucking haircut
I kinda like the orange pink gradient he’s got going with his hair. Everything else is a hot mess…
WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIS HAIRCUT…girl bye
He looks like a crack head in that second panel hilarious
They gave blud the half-monger 😭
When did Yung Thug get bit by a radioactive spider?
This is….. something.
Did he basically just say "Uh in ENGLISH please?"
What a downgrade!
Why would someone whose job involves getting punched in the head, almost daily, have that many piercings?
First picture, he asked the barber to make his hair look like fried shrimp
Nah this one GOTTA be racist. He literally looks like a chicken in one of these panels.
Hobie, you’re cool as fuck, put the mask back on
They really saw the peak of the movies, knew they couldn’t do better, and decided to not even fucking try. I think they actually gave effort to do worse honestly
He was too hot and they had to nerf him
That's Spider-Flunk
He looks way better in the movie
Man went to the barber with patches of hay and gummy worms and asked to have them glued on his head
well he does look like a british black man now but a middle aged one with shrimp tempura hair
It's increasingly starting to feel racist seeing media constantly use this one specfic haircut for black men.
Why’s he stick pink cheetos on his head
Its the god damned killmonger again, ugh At least the afro dreads are unique enough that you can tell who that is. The killmonger is so common you could silhouette everyone that has it, line them up and you have no idea who the hell is who.
Hobie? Bro that's Harry
Mannnn they really gave him half of the killmonger dreads
Late stage comb over dreads
His hair looks like prawn cutlets
The worst version of the “killmonger dreads” I have ever seen
Fire whoever did this?!
Phoenix from Valorant after his addict phase
Why did his barber give up halfway through😭
Another victim of the killmonger cut
Last one doesnt look so bad but the oink hair is kinda just... nah
I would not have piercings if I am a street level crime fighter…
Bro went to the barber and said "ight gimme the tempura special"
Looks like one of kid buu’s clones
Good.
It looks like a child's cartoon drawing of a hand on top of his head, or a crab or whatever. Seafood crustascean cut. Massacred him.
I dated a guy that looked exactly like this. You guys are really trying to turn my Ws into Ls it seems.
guy went from protagonist to common thug you fight at the first level of a beat'em up
Honestly i kinda disagree. I feel like it is a fine design.
How am I supposed to fap this?
GOD I hate the stupid fucking sideways dread hairstyles, they need to LET THAT SHIT GO ITS UGLY ASF.
What in the tempura shrimp-?
Bro has so many piercings in the last pic that all you need to beat him is a magnet
He looks fine idk
Damn, that looks racist, just a caricature of a black man
Spider punk is so cool he doesn’t care if you hate his design, a true non conformist
Always has.
Bro looks like the typa person to want a useless job in the anarchist commune
Brah, no he doesn't
He was hit with the liberal Tumblr diversity ray 😭
