Poking a hole the Canon Event BS with the Bite.

So...Miguel's whole thing is that Canon Events are immutable. They are events that HAVE TO HAPPEN. No excuses. No exceptions. Events like an Uncle Ben death to learn responsibility, a police Captain also dies for the lesson of not able to save everyone. Because that's what defines Spider-Man.

So...I ask: Why is Spider-Gwen not an anomaly? Why is half of the Spider-verse even here? And really the big one: Why is the Spider Bite...not canon?

Keep in mind Ghost-Spider/Spider-Gwen's origin asks the question: WHAT IF the Spider had bit Gwen Stacy instead of Peter. Which is also the origins of multiple Spider-sonas.

"Oh but it does happen. & obviously not all events have to match. Not everything is a Canon Event." You're telling that the Spider bite gets a free pass? It's only the ORIGINS of the character. One would think that if any event was required to play out exactly as it should, it should be getting bitten. It should always be Peter. But it isn't. What you're gonna tell me it's the events that matters not the people who are involved? What sense does that make? If the person doesn't matter it why is Miles an Anomaly then? Why does the multiverse allow variants if it has to follow a certain set of events or it break? Seems pretty convenient that the details suddenly do & don't matter to some oddly specific things.

Checkmate Miguel.
