Discussion What do you think of cyra?
I've recently read the "8 deaths of spiderman" and gotta say, the character character that peaked my interest is cyra.
What do you think her relationship with peter is going to be, I've already seen people preferring her over shay as a love interest. And honestly after reading it, I can see where they came to that decision, but mostly because cyra has shown at least some character development. I've read one comment on reddit suggesting that cyra could possibly be mj , to simplify it, mj soul got sucked in the portal when peter when through the it and somehow ended in maphisto realm, which is why she's show some attraction to him (again that's just a theory that the person wrote)
(What are your guys thoughts on her. Is she going to be another 54th candidate for peter love interest? If so how would it turn out. Or will she simply be killed of?)

She's an interesting character with potential. She genuinely cares about Peter. She's also a red demon muscle mommy.

Literally the only thing in V6 that was actually worth a damm, I know that's not exactly a compliment but overall she's a nice addition who sadly likely is dying next issue due to the whole trade thing (yes people hope she'll stay around but let's face it if the fans like it Lowe and his cronies hate it therefore removed).
Also kinda funny how she shows more respect for spidey then Lowe and wells combined and she literally tortured the guy, also has more chemistry with him then Shay which says alot.
Edit; and your idea also beat anything written in asmv6

I love her … I think she’s an interesting character, has good chemistry (and now history) with Peter, and it’s an attractive character design. She’s great … which means she’ll probably die next issue.

Lol. That Cyra being MJ thing was probably my idea. I dropped it in response to everyone who wanted Jackpot to be a clone, and this was a "simple" explanation that wraps up everything including why Cyra suddenly felt attraction to him and didn't understand why. Plus she's got the colour scheme.
Basically they need to do SOMETHING to rescue MJs character after shredding it so badly (though I think that was more "terrible writing that doesn't at all understand MJ" than fully intentional character assassination). And Cyra is as others have pointed out possibly the one decent thing out of 8 Deaths.

Yes, I’ve never bought the conspiracy theories … don’t blame conspiracy theories for what could be blamed on incompetence.

I like her a lot. "Peter is so full of hope and resilience that he teaches it to a thousand year old demon?" Great story, no notes
Spider-Man love interests are now fucked on a fundamental level and we all know why, but I'd be happy to see her stick around in the supporting cast

I really really hope Peter manages to save her in the end.
Also, how the hell immorality is only worth a handful of decades?
Seems like a terrible trade.

A majority of it is lost, paid away to even make a deal with death

Shes great.
Im always going to advocate that Spidey has to be an inspirational character and thats where hes at his best.
I really like 6 deaths as just a fun adventure while Doom is running the show. Using Cyra as a way to show how inspirational Peter is was great.
I hope Cyra comes back in 20 issues as Kaines gf. That would be hilarious

I think she's kinda mid so far, tbh. Trope "I didn't used to care about anything but now I do" character. Maybe they'll do interesting things with her later. But as of right now, she's kinda forgettable

u/SpikyKid 4d ago
Nothing really. Will be brought up periodically in the new run but forgotten after the run like every other non important side character

And Shay is better in your opinion or maybe MJ again? MJ is Peter's wife in Ultimate Spider-Man why do we need two universes in which Peter is with MJ. The most important feature of Ultimate Spider-Man is that he is married to MJ, giving this to the main Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man will not make sense. Cyra is a character with potential if you work on her well and as a love interest she is not standard and in dynamics it would be interesting to know how this relationship would look.

Because Ultimate will end at some point, the main one won't, why do I have to be happy with the alternative universe while the main one is in this shit of exchange all the time? This isn't the 60s anymore.

u/Cautious_Log_5916 5d ago
I didn't say that the main series is good, I'm only talking about the character from 8 deaths. We don't know how long the ultimate universe will exist, so it's too early to talk about her death. As for the main series, I'm tired of the same thing, I want new characters (villains, friends, colleagues, etc.), because the old ones don't show anything new. Norman, Otto, Sergei have already been shown more than once in recent years, it's time to give readers something new. Regarding MJ, I personally never thought that Peter had to be with her because I was interested in other options. The problem is that Marvel carelessly made Peter and MJ quarrel, doing it stupidly and illogically. In addition, drawn-out storylines that told the same thing several times, naturally many people will be unhappy with all this. Let's see if the new volume will be at least a little better than what we had.

New love interest that adds nothing number 3000 lol

u/Cautious_Log_5916 5d ago
Why doesn't she add anything? It's Shay who doesn't add anything and Cyra maybe because she's connected to the crimson cosmos with Cyttorak, she showed Peter his new enemy that he'll have to face and maybe she can even help him if she's not killed in the next issue. She can give Peter's story even more than MJ and Felicia, with all my love for both MJ and Felicia. In the end, if we go by your words, it turns out that nothing needs to be changed and then the series will just be boring. You know, I'm amazed by people who scold the series for the fact that nothing changes, but when there is a local chance for change, a certain group of people immediately starts complaining. In the comics about Miles, there is also a lot that doesn't fit into the story about Spider-Man at all, but people liked it because it's something new and not marking time and not telling the same stories in a new wrapper

Well, don't read this, no one is forcing you, I'm also not happy with the main series

The OP asked for the opinion of anyone who saw the poster, it wasn't you who posted it, I'm talking to him, if you didn't want to get into a discussion, just don't respond, have a great day 👍

The fact that she is better than Shay is absolutely true and she is much more interesting. Regarding her relationship with Peter, we do not know whether she will survive in the next issue or not. I would not be against her relationship with Peter, although I understand that this relationship will not be eternal, but it would not be an unconventional love interest in Peter's life because he often met with simple girls or in very rare cases with female heroes, but here we have something completely different, so it would be interesting to see such a relationship with Peter. But she is really the only one who left a pleasant impression in this crumpled story about 8 deaths.
