Well it's that time again where I answer your unanswered questions in an epilogue because why not? Please read previous chapters before reading this so it makes sense. Or don't, and let this confuse you. The previous chapter was the end this is just me explaining shit. Anyway…
The first and most important question is…how the heck did we go from Morlun to crazy time travel plot? Well I always wanted to have 2099 show up at one point or another and Morlun was NEVER going to be the main villain. I actually hate the entire animal totems thing, and hence why I made Mysterio just 'write' it. I didn't know where this would end either, but my love of post-apocalyptic universes made me want to do some chapters based in one. Seeing what the heck happened to so many characters can be fun, and writing them differently but yet somehow connected to their original state was fun too. I pretty much just went with what stuck and what I thought would be the most fun so that's how we went from the sort of grounded first one to the far more out there second one.
What happened to Morbius? He's still out there. I might cover that in the third, and last, Amazing Fantasy or maybe I'll leave you to your own conclusions on that one.
Out of all the heroes Spidey could team up with, why did we get Doctor Strange? Because I like Doctor Strange a whole lot. He's probably one of my favorite b-list heroes and this was the perfect opportunity to use him. I didn't want to do the Avengers because that would've been too much to handle, and same goes with the Fantastic Four. I'm not too great at writing teams. But I'll work on that one.
Who the heck was Mason Banks? I was gonna have him be Norman Osborn, like the comics, but then I decided to instead have him be Baron Mordo to tie into the Doctor Strange thing.
If Norman Osborn isn't around, then who the heck is Iron Patriot? A good question, but nobody was Iron Patriot. He was a drone created by Mysterio to use as a symbol for Alchemax.
Miguel just vanished! Is he alright?! Yes he's alright. Back in the year 2099 of course.
Well what happened to Alchemax? With Mysterio, Mordo, and Fisk gone who's still there? Alchemax is around under new leadership. We'll cover more of that in another story.
So…what happened to Norman? He was let out. And what happened to Harry and his pregnant wife? Oh man, as said above that'll be covered eventually believe me. Unless I end up procrastinating in which case I apologize right now.
What made Mysterio the main villain, why him of all people? Well because Mysterio just works so well for a big bad that isn't Ock, Venom, or Goblin. And in this story, I was trying to give some focus to villains that were neither of those three guys, and if Spider-Man Friend or Foe, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and Spider-Man Unlimited showed me anything it's that Mysterio works best out of Spider-Man villains for this type of thing. And yes, I took heavy inspiration from Spider-Verse, Shattered Dimensions, and Spider-Men.
So…what's next on your agenda? Personally I'm probably gonna move past Spider-Man for my next story, but after that it's the next and final part of Amazing Fantasy. And it's going to feature Spider-Girl. No, not Arana we already showed her. I mean Mayday, who…won't be MC2 Mayday because this is my continuity after all. And in my continuity Peter's hooked with Gwen, not MJ. Not that MJ is bad, and it's not that I prefer Gwen either. It's just that I thought she worked better in the direction Amazing Fantasy 1 was going more than MJ did. Or Black Cat. Or Jessica Drew. Or Carol Danvers. Really any of those ladies I like with Peter too, but now we're getting into shipping and I don't want to get into that can of worms.
What with the time travel plot? Why'd you go so big? Because I wanted to raise the stakes! The third one will be back to being more grounded, trust me.
Anyway that's about that. Unless you have a question you want to ask, which I'll gladly answer. Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it and hope it wasn't a disappointment when compared to the last one.
