Something I love about Spider-Man as a character: even if there's no big villain to fight, he's still a hero.

On days when there's no crime at all, he's out helping someone carry their groceries or giving directions to someone who's lost. He doesn't need anything negative to fight; he's just actively trying to make the world a safer, kinder, better place. That's what makes him a hero.

[spidey-on-the-block]

Got back from seeing the movie again and a tiny theme I liked was the solidarity in the younger POC generation vs the older gen.

Margo, Hobie, Pavitr and Miles all had eachother’s back. They fought together, they helped eachother in small ways like Hobie telling Miles to use the palms, and big ways like Miles saving Captain Singh and Margo letting Miles go “home”.

They could’ve stopped him, they could’ve not helped eachother but they did. Because they understood and they all realized what was wrong with the Spider Society. All of them at the end came together to support and help Miles, in the way the rest of the spiders couldn’t.

And when you put that into perspective with Miguel and Jessica, older POC that gave no support. They believe that Miles has to suffer in order to become Spider-Man, that pain will always have to happen.

But the others don’t believe that, they know that best way to be a hero is uplift and help eachother. Often the parents, the older generation compromise their morals and others for the future, for them to grow up safer and yet the future generation always has to reckon with the consequences of those actions without even having a say in the first place.

That’s a damn message, and I love that they used the younger poc generation to show that because this does happen in real life, there is a difference and our parents, our grandparents believe that pain has to happen for our identity to be created.

A Goose in the Hand

by Sara (ctrsara)

“Excuse me?” It wasn’t often that Tony managed to surprise his CEO, but he’d succeeded this time. “Can you repeat that?” Pepper’s gaze flicked to two of her assistants, Andrea and Daren, who were waiting for the day’s briefing. It was barely 7:45, and it was way too early for shenanigans of the superhero-variety. “Um, yeah. Giant geese terrorizing Central Park. But now they’re headed up 5th Avenue, and I just wanted to give you a heads up to stay inside if we end up by the Tower.” “Geese, Tony?”

Part of the post-Homecoming series “Strands in the Rope,” which attempts to show how Tony and Peter’s relationship might have developed between Homecoming and Infinity War, but can stand alone, also. Mostly. These stories are starting to build on each other a little more as we start counting down time to Infinity War.

[spidey-on-the-block]

I think you might have done so in the past but can’t find a post like it. Would you mind putting together a list of reasons why Peter would have sided with team Iron Man in Civil War and not team Cap, ty :)

Hi! No, I haven’t done this but it’s a good idea. I kinda hate how everyone is always kissing steve’s ass when it comes to Peter lmao

First of all, Peter did learn about the accords. He may not have been able to understand the entire concept of it at the moment but the kid is not deaf. He heard the entire convo between the avengers, he knows what was going on. Stop treating him like a dumbass yall. 

Tony Stark: And you've been a complete idiot. Dragging in Clint. 'Rescuing' Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave, a safe place. I'm trying to keep... I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart. Steve Rogers: You did that when you signed. Tony Stark: Alright, We're done. You're gonna turn Barnes over, you're gonna come with us. NOW! Because it's us! Or a squad of J-SOC guys... with no compunction about being impolite. Come on. Sam Wilson: We found it. Their Quinjet's in hanger five, north runway. Steve Rogers: Alright, Lang.

Peter was there. And Tony didn’t just put Peter there to fight against his friends. He told him about the situation:

Peter Parker: Hey, Mr. Stark, what should I do? Tony Stark: What we discussed. Keep your distance. Web 'em up. Peter Parker: Okay, copy that!

Steve Rogers: Look kid. There's a lot going on here that you don't understand. Peter Parker: Mr. Stark said you'd say that. Wow. Steve: Stark tell you anything else? Peter Parker: That you're wrong. You think you're right. That makes you dangerous.  Steve Rogers: Guess he had a point.

And after this convo he proceeded to drop an entire plane equipment on the kid. The directors confirmed that Tony instructed Peter into what was about to happen.

‘If you're going out to capture a bunch of people who you don't necessarily want to hurt, you couldn't ask for a better character than Spider-Man to take with you. So he's obviously mentored the kid for what's about to go down.’ - Russo Brothers.

Peter even tells Tony that for some reason Cap and co are not stopping. Because this is what he discussed with Peter. He brought him to web ‘em up, just like he said. Cap escalated the fight.

Sam Wilson: What do we do, Cap? Steve Rogers: We fight.

This dude is in a war zone 24/7 and instead of getting the help he needed (therapy) he decided he wanted to be right all the time. Kinda weird if you ask me, this devotion towards giving Bucky justice and letting him live the life he deserves free of HYDRA but he drops the opportunity to actually see that happen in Endgame.

So, now that we know all of this, we can conclude:

Peter learned about the accords in school and he didn’t look shocked, angry or betrayed. This means he understands why they exist.

Peter is a smart kid, he’s not going to continue to admire someone that ‘betrayed’ him by signing those accords. He knows why Tony had to sign, he owns a TV. 

Peter doesn’t necessarily need to agree with the accords to be on Tony’s side. Stop acting like Peter experiencing prison time on the Raft and getting arrested is better.

Some of you can’t stop talking about how a comic version of Tony revealed Peter’s identity but forget that if Peter were to be on Cap’s side his identity would’ve been revealed to the government (once getting arrested; something that happened to team cap). Something Tony always prevented.

Knowing Tony’s plan to change and amend the accords, he would’ve agreed that the best option is to sign to better terms and conditions. Stop acting like going against the law should apply to all cases, if 117 countries were that concerned about their safety, there must be a reason. Peter can understand that. 

Tony promised protection for Peter and better equipment so he can go out and be safer. I don’t think Cap would’ve offered that to Peter given he didn’t exactly care for Clint or Scott’s families.

Your comic version of Peter is not the same as MCU Peter. It’s important you remember that.

‘Exactly. But I can't tell anybody that, so I'm not. When you can do the things that I can, but you don't and then the bad things happen. They happen because of you.’ is not a valid excuse to say that Peter would’ve sided with Cap. He might be an impressionable kid but as I said before, he’s not a dumbass. Peter knows how to read between lines and how to critically understand situations.

Also remember comic!Steve is different from MCU Steve.

Peter goes by guilt, intention and accountability, not by righteousness, devotion and patriotism like MCU Cap. Peter stated he would feel like it’s on him if something were to happen to someone. He can’t forgive himself that easily. You can see that he still feels guilty about what happened to Ben and what happened to Tony as well. It’s the pivotal essence of his character. An example of this is when Ned and Betty were trapped in the roller coaster in FFH. Peter decided to try and save Betty and Ned instead of fighting the gigantic monster terrorizing Europe and its citizens. When Fury/Talos told him off he wanted to cry and felt like he wasn’t fit to be what people wanted him to be. Peter Parker: Hey, man, my friends are here? And I can't help but think we're putting them in danger- Nick Fury: You're worried about us hurting your friends?  Cap goes by ‘this job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved.’ He can live with that, Peter can’t.

Another example of this. Notice how Peter let go of Liz and decided to do the right thing (go after her dad and save her from a terrible ending). He didn’t stay with her and let her live a lie. He sacrificed what he felt for her to give her and other people the right ending. If Peter and Cap were the same, then Cap would’ve stayed in 2023 to help Bucky and the others instead of deciding to go back to Peggy; a woman he met 83 years ago, someone who already lived her life and told him to live his (and even if the writers said her husband was always meant to be Steve there’s no way for Cap to know that happened given he did kiss Sharon Carter). Peter wouldn’t do that. Peggy Carter: Mm. I have lived a life. My only regret is that you didn't get to live yours. Peggy Carter to Steve: Hey. The world has changed and none of us can go back. All we can do is our best, and sometimes the best that we can do is to start over.

They’re not the same. Peter is not a soldier, Cap is. And Peter is still a teenager, he’s going to continue to develop his personality. Let him.

There you go, nonnie♥

what if there is no tomorrow? by iron_spider

"Tony, talk to me. What's going on with you? You're freaking us out."

Tony keeps making his snow angel. He moves his arms and legs back and forth and stares up at the bright blue sky until Peter moves a little closer, eclipsing the sun. He narrows his eyes and stares down at him like he's insane.

Because he is insane.

"Peter," Tony says, beginning the conversation he's had so many times before. "Do you trust me?"

"Of course," Peter says.

"We're in a time loop. I'm Bill Murray. I remember everything, you guys don't, we're...we are trapped. We're trapped, buddy. I've done this over and over. And over. And over and over and over. I don't know how to fix it. So I'm...giving up. I make snow angels now. And that's it."

My husband, Peter Parker, was an ordinary person. He always said it could’ve been anyone behind the mask. He was just the kid who happened to get bit. He didn’t ask for his powers, but he chose to be Spider-Man. My favorite thing about Peter is that he made us each feel powerful. We all have powers of one kind or another. But in our own way, we are all Spider-Man. And we’re all counting on you.
