Hobie's Canon Event

Okay, so I see a lot of people talking about how Hobie probably lost a police captain and that was his canon event and etc...

but people seem to be forgetting that this guy kills cops on a day-to-day basis

like he fucking hates cops

He hates cops to the point where he even talks about them in his intro, depicting them as pigs and smashing their heads in with his guitar

You see that? It literally shows the cop with a pig snout and pig ears 😭

"Maybe he lost a police officer that was his friend"

HUH??

Bold of you guys to assume that he'd be friends with a police officer in the first place

Hobie's character is extremely hard to understand. To this day there are still people confused about what he said in the movie, due to his thick accent and the fact that everything he said had some sort of double-meaning. He's a super well-developed character with a genuine backstory.

This is why its important to pay attention to his character instead of projecting your own emotions onto him

Gwen and Miles are easy to play around with. They say what they mean and everything they say is fairly light-hearted. The same goes for Pav, its very easy to understand what he means when he talks about something. They are also well-written characters but their dialogue isn't as deep as Hobie's.

Its a lot easier to make things up about the others without undermining their character. But you can't do that with Hobie brown while still being accurate.

Writing him requires a lot of research. It requires a lot of understanding.

I get that these are headcanons but headcanons can't be an excuse to diminish his character and what he stands for

Someone ACAB wouldn't have been friends with a police captain.

He either killed his police captain or his police captain wasn't actually a captain and was his version of Captain America (Karl) or some other superhero

It makes more sense for his canon event to have been a dog named Captain than an actual police officer.

I know for a fact Sam has thrown a slice of cheese at Vincent’s face , and has hulk smashed him onto the couch.

I’m also 100% confident that Jas has given Shane make overs more than once at this point.

Miguel Is Wrong About Canon Events

So, we've all made jokes about Spider-verse's canon events, the whole "I can't let you do that it's a canon event" joke. However, these jokes alongside what people think a canon is, is not actually what a canon event is.

Miguel tells us precisely what canon events are in the movie, while showing some examples. "They are the canon, chapters that are a part of every Spider's story every time." In other words it's not just any event that happens in a Spider's story or history of a world, it has to be very specific events that are shared by all Spiders. The examples Miguel gives includes the spider bite, the upside down kiss, Venom, the death of a close loved one, and the death of a captain.

Now here's where I start speculating based on things that don't add up. What canon event did Miguel break to destroy the universe he went into? Miguel makes it seem like just being in another universe breaks a canon event, but that doesn't actually add up with what he said. As he said, a canon event is something that happens in every Spider's story and that it can't be disrupted. Simply being in another universe wouldn't do that unless he was actively breaking canon himself in that world.

Continuing on, we don't actually see what happens when someone breaks canon, at least that's what it seems like to me. You may be saying, but Miles breaks a canon event or there's Mumbattan. But here's the thing, what happened in Mumbattan does not look similar to what happened in Miguel's footage it's different. What we see in Mumbattan is the work of the Spot, and is not caused by Miles saving the Captain. Even Miles points it out to Miguel that it was caused by the Spot.

Now if we take a look at Miguel's footage, there is something interesting that we see. The universe glitches as it is destroyed, the same kind of glitching we see in the first movie that was caused by specifically Kingpin's collider. Now we know Miguel is using similar but more advanced technology to what Kingpin was using. So what if Miguel didn't break a canon event but rather did something with his technology that destroyed the universe. From there Miguel either misinterpreted what happened, or is lying about what actually happened.

Also, canon events have been broken already in this movie without a world being destroyed. If we take Miguel's claim that what happened in Mumbattan was Miles breaking a canon event and not the Spot as a fact. Then shouldn't the breaking of what could be argued the most major and important canon event there is, result in the immediate destruction of that world. Or at least Mumbattan but sped up? What am I talking about? The spider bite of course, even Miguel has it labeled as a canon event. So tell me why does Earth-42 still exist? It has no Spiderman, the spider bite canon event never happened, yet it is still intact with Prowler Miles running around. We also can't make the suggestion that Miguel saved Earth-42, because he didn't get the ability to travel across the Spider-verse until after the events of the first movie.

Speaking of Miguel, he was never bitten by a spider. Instead he injects himself as we see him do in the movie. Isn't that breaking away from the canon? Also, at the end of the movie Gwen realizes that Miguel is wrong when her father quits, that these canon events aren't set in stone. Btw, can we stop the Gwen hate? She is meant to be a flawed character who while in a bad place made some bad decisions, and is now correcting herself. Seriously you guys are spiteful.

Sorry, time to get back on track. There is also the meta text of the movie, the idea that the story has to go one way. That the canon must be abided by, the Spider Society's authority, or you could say the Comics Code Authority. With Miguel representing it, as he tells Miles that he is the original anomaly and that he's not supposed to be Spiderman. The rest of this post info is in a reply because I keep getting an error.

The Spot is behind the Canon Event universe collapsing AND I CAN PROVE IT!

Okay so,

When The Spot shows miles the vision, he shows mumbattan's captain AND miles' dad. This is, as miguel explains it, event ASM90, a police captain close to spiderman dies saving a kid from falling rubble, during a battle with an arch-nemesis. However, Pavtri was not battling his arch-nemesis there, the rubble was caused by the black energy of The Spot. This implies that The Spot was an arch-nemesis to Pavtri as well, which makes no sense maybe The Spot is the arch-nemesis in that slot? but Pavtri just met the guy, how could he be an arch-nemesis? He can't. This cannon event was different, because it was the first event The Spot did after getting his powers. He shows this event to Miles before he disappears into the spiderverse again right after his powerup, so what he does wasn't quite as smooth as the later events that Miguel has catalogued.

But why am I sure it's The Spot? You see, when Miguel originally changed a canon event, and the universe collapsed around him, we see the exact same glitching as the alchemax machine. The only person to wield that power, is The Spot. The only way THAT glitching could affect a universe without the alchemax machine being active is if The Spot saw a spiderman avoid a tragedy, saw a spiderman happy, and in revenge, took everything from him, as he promised miles. Even before the powerup, The Spot had access to the entire spiderverse, and now he's ungodly powerful, overcharged with the energy from the only machine to make those glitch ripples. Who's to say now he can't END universes with that power? He saw Spiderpeople having close calls, and changed it so they didn't quite make it to, for instance, save uncle ben, save the police captain, and he MADE these canon events happen. And when another spiderman from another universe disrupts it? He devours the universe whole. He causes trauma and suffering, takes everything from spiderman, across the entire spiderverse he has unlimited access to. It fits his motive, it fits his powers, no other cause for the canon events is shown or even attempted to be found. It all just clicks together too well. I believe that after Miles defeats The Spot, the canon events, the universe collapses, they'll stop. And as for Miguel? Well, Miles just met a prowler of his own... but that's into the thumbtacks and string zone.

Please, what do you guys think of my theory? I think it holds water and fits too well to be wrong, but maybe there's stuff I'm overlooking here. Feel free to devil's advocate at me.

The Ranger Wikia Billy/Skull Introduction:

Skull and Bones is the queer ship between Billy Cranston and Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch from Boom! Comics Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, etc.

Canon:

In the original live action series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers they were often at odds with each other as bully vs nerd, natural enemies; but as the series progressed they developed a sort of mutual worry/tolerance for each other. Throughout the original series and carrying on through over thirty years they were known to constantly be within each other's orbit, albeit often only in passing. During the Alien Rangers series, it was implied that they were friends before reaching middle school, but scholastic and personal differences took them in different directions.

In the Comic series, they were shown in Go Go Power Rangers issue #3 to have been best friends in grade school with the implications being that something went wrong due to Billy developing some sort of superiority complex that Skull wasn't willing to tolerate. Bulk and Skull were prone to throwing water balloons at Billy--but he was not special in this, as they also did it to other Angel Grove students. Billy was a target of other such annoyances, but never absolute violence and Skull was seen on multiple occasions trying to lessen Bulk's provocations and aggressions--even outright trying to talk Bulk out of his targeting Billy so often in the aftermath of the Blue Ranger saving Skull from being crushed under fallen construction debris and commenting that Skull was not "just like a Ranger" when Skull tried to ingratiate Bulk and himself to him, claiming, "Rangers see everything." Which lead to Skull making an effort to change for the better moving forward.

In the World of the Coinless Universe, Billy was taken out by Drakkon very quickly in the aftermath of taking over the world and it was implied that Skull took up his duties as a spy soon after.

Moments:

Skull trying to apologize/excuse his and Bulk's behavior towards Billy after a fight where Billy yells at him about the reasons why Bulk and Skull seem to enjoy humiliating him, with the belief it's because he's smarter than them. Skull rebukes this by claiming it was only because he acted like he was smarter than them.

The Blue Ranger saving Skull from being crushed under debris and the subsequent conversation that leaves the both of them somewhat changed in little ways moving forward.

Coinless Skull being at the old abandoned Juice Bar with the other Coinless to greet the Prime Universe Billy, Trini, and Zack to get them up to speed on what was happening in their dimension after having gotten Coinless Zack out of the palace (possibly) without blowing his cover. He made it possible for the Rangers to rescue Ninjor, despite it leading to his own sacrifice.

Billy observing Skull's introducing Candice Clark (aka Zelya of Eltar) to Bulk as "Kinda my girlfriend...Kinda." With Kim being curious as to what was happening with Billy calling the situation "mutually assured destruction".

Skull performing 'bunny ears' behind Billy's head during a photoshoot for the homecoming dance.

Skull and Billy both being in attendance for Tommy's funeral; both brought to tears.

Billy not at all being surprised when Skull's first canonical girlfriend in the comic series turned out to be an alien spy. Disconcerted, but not surprised.

Children:

In the original series canon, Skull was father to son Spike Skullovitch, mother unknown.

Billy Cranston in the Once & Always special became guardian to Trini's daughter Minh alongside Zack Taylor.

Quotes:

"You're, like, my best friend. And besides...Skull And Bones protect the galaxy, right?" -Pre-Teen Billy Cranston, Go Go Power Rangers #3.

Skull: "Billy, all the stuff we do, we're just...ya know, messing around..." Billy: "Messing around? You make every day of my life a living hell. And why, because I'm smarter than you?" Skull: "...No, it's because you've always acted like you are." -Go Go Power Rangers #3

Skull: "My buddy Bulk and I, we're a lot like you..." Blue Ranger: "Are you? Because Power Rangers see everything." Skull: "Um..." Blue Ranger: "Everything." Skull: "...Oh." -Go Go Power Rangers #4

"Everyone always tells me how smart I am. But you know what comes with being smart? Fear. If there's an undesirable outcome--no matter how minor--trust me, I find it." -Billy Cranston, Go Go Power Rangers #6

Skull: "Hey, Bulk, maybe we lay off of Billy for once?" Bulk: "Is it my fault he makes it so easy? Buddy, if we don't challenge him, who will?" -Go Go Power Rangers #10

Behind the Scenes:

"I wanted to be Billy!! I just wanted to be Billy, that's all I wanted!!" -Jason Narvy, Power Rangers Q&A at ConnectiCon 2015.

Songs:

"The Next Time I Fall" by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant.

Fanon:

It is considered a rarepair by the general fandom that simply coasts by while looking through the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fanfiction or fanart. However, in the comic fandom, it is the pairing with the highest number of fics and does fairly well among fanartists.

Oftentimes, the fandom ships the pair in a fix-it fic, hurt/comfort, angst and fluff capacity. Childhood friends to Enemies to Lovers is a common trope, and when it comes to the Coinless Universe, there is the exploration of the What If scenario of Billy surviving, Haunting as a Grid Ghost, or Resurrection.

People most often claim to have started shipping for them very late into the third season of the original MMPRs or the third issue of the GGPR comic.

-Romantic: Nine times out of ten the relationship is walked into with a slow burn or excited utterance on the part of either Billy or Skull. Consistently is not often found in the fandom at large, except among the writers who advocate for them most often. -Friendship or Family: There have been no family centric works for them, but friendship is sometimes touched down on in Skull making an effort to change from being a bully or Billy finding himself feeling somewhat abandoned by his Ranger friends or out of sorts from his time on Aquitar.

Trivia:

Billy Cranston started working for Promethea behind his Ranger friends' backs and at one point was almost kicked out of being a Ranger during the events just before the Eltarian War Arc in the comics, which gave off the impression that he was both depressed and willing to take his punishment without much of a fight. This ran parallel with Skull's desperation to find his kind-of-girlfriend, looking into every nook and cranny throughout Angel Grove, despite her actually being perfectly safe and merely bailing on him without any kind of explanation for her actions. Both of them were undergoing new changes and revealing deeper parts of themselves the further into the Arc the comic went.

Skull can play piano and a couple other instruments in both the original series and in the comics. However, in the original series he was ashamed to be known for specializing in classical piano until Adam Park talked him into playing in the school talent show; in the comics it was revealed through the Instagram Alternative Covers that he openly plays where people can see him and appreciated immensely.

Billy created a backup system in the Command Center in the event that Zordon's tube was ever destroyed, which then had him transferred to a robot body he created within Promethea without Grace Sterling's knowledge. This allowed him to fight during the ending of the Eltarian War Arc and confront Lord Zedd (aka Zophram of Eltar) and Zartus of Eltar about a ruse that was the reason the two had become mortal enemies.

In an Annual for the MMPR comics, Bulk and Skull were both given never-before-seen Power Coins by Zordon due to the sage having no other choice but to recruit them to save the other Rangers from a monster that had devoured the entire group. Bulk became the Purple Mighty Morphin Ranger and Skull became the Orange Mighty Morphin Ranger. Their memories were erased without any thanks at all, despite their getting the job done, with the implication that this was not part of canon events for the timeline. However, in the Charge to 100 comic event, the artist Dan Mora featured them in a massive poster of all canon Rangers throughout the television and comic series, which gives alternative implications for many of the Rangers featured.

In the comics, Bulk and Skull are merely interested in maintaining a journalistic podcast of the Rangers in their battles against Rita and have thus far given no implication of wanting to unmask them.

The Coinless Universe version of Billy Cranston died before the age of twenty-one, with Lord Drakkon having either shot or stabbed him right through the heart while Billy was defending the Coinless Trini. Among the Coinless Rangers, only Billy's coin never fell into Drakkon's hands.

Billy lobbied for Matthew Cook to be the Blue Ranger during the Go Go Power Ranger's Infiltrator Putty Arc, and lobbied for Matthew again when he obtained the Green Dragon Coin for Grace Sterling's New Green Ranger.

In the World of the Coinless, Skull was the only spy working espionage within the Red Sentry ranks of Drakkon's army. When Drakkon was banished to a prison dimension, he was moved up the ranks to Brigade Commander, which made him 8th in Command of the entire sentry army.

In the Darkest Hour Arc, Bulk and Skull--as well as Ernie--were some of the few human individuals to sign up for Promethea training to protect Earth in the even that the Rangers failed/were possessed by Dark Specter. They were also allowed into the Command Center, though were never let in on the Ranger's identities in spite of already being involved in fights against invading forces with Jason vouching for them.

I totally forgot I had this on the backburner for @skyland2703 and had it here in drafts the whole time.

Someone said the ‘Captain’ that Hobie loses as a canon event was/is Captain Anarchy and I haven’t been able to function since.

[byfulcrums]

Guys that wasn't Pavitr's canon event

Miguel says that one of the spiders' canon events is "The death of a police captain close to you on the hands of your (or one of your) nemesis". The disaster wasn't caused by Pavitr's nemesis, but Miles'. The disaster was caused by Spot, and he isn't from Pavitr's universe. Therefore, that being Pavitr's canon event makes no sense. Miguel would be just contradicting himself by saying it is

So, if that wasn't Pavitr's canon event, then Miles wouldn't be the one at fault for Pav's dimension crumbling. Besides, we've seen what a universe dying looked like because of Miguel's flashback, and the "glitches" in Pavitr's universe resemble more Spot's holes than that. So Pavitr's universe disappearing would be a consequence of Spot breaking into that universe and absorbing the energy from the Collider of that universe

(waa-waa) “canon events”

(waa-waa) “it was supposed to happen”

(waa-FUCKING-waa) “web of fate & destiny”

BITCH.

mfs out here really blaming miles ALONE for the multiverse collapsing in on itself and for what?

“oh um. aCtUaLLy miles you saved someone else’s dad sooooo… we gotta let yours die cause canon gotta canon yk?”

BRUH.

miguel pulled a “iykyk” on miles and basically whooped his ass for not knowing. my guy just got here and you’re already mad.

the shit that pisses me off the most is this…

when miles first interacts with miguel he mentions he has some “new/fresh ideas on how to capture spot”*

*i’m paraphrasing here but yk that line was said

miguel replies by shutting down that conversation and saying “i’ll worry about spot” AND THEN PROCEEDS TO CHASE DOWN A 15YO CHILD ON ALL FOURS, LOSE A FIGHT TO HIM AND MONITOR HIS DAD TO MAKE SURE HE DIES AND MILES DOESN’T INTERFERE !!!

when the fuck was this mf gonna worry about spot???

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT SPOT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CANON EVENT THEORY, MILES IS ONE HALF OF THE ORIGINAL ANOMALY !!!

MILES WOULD NOT BE SPIDER-MAN IF NOT FOR SPOT // ALCHAMEX BRING THAT SPIDER FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION !!!

idk why i’m so mad about this, it’s just something i’ve noticed recently that’s getting on my nerves ARGH

Researching Characters So You Don't Have To Part 5 - What was Peni Parker's Canon Event?

In ATSV, we get a short glimpse of Peni Parker during Miguel's canon event explainy scene. She, along with hundreds of other spider-people enter in order to help keep Miles calm and share their own experiences with him. The only thing she says is "Miles" and she kind of tilts her head at him sadly.

If we compare this version of Peni to the version we saw in the first movie, it makes it very obvious that she went through some kind of traumatic event, probably her canon event.

So what was her canon event?

From the research I've done, I've found that her canon event is a little confusing, but I tried to make it as clear as possible.

After the events of Into the Spider-verse, Peni was approached by her classmate, Addy Brock, during class. Addy proceeded to ask her whether she was Spider-woman (or in her universe, Sp//dr). Peni brushed her off, and left without telling her. But what Peni didn't know, was that Addy was also a mech pilot, and was actually the owner of a special suit called VEN#m.

Note: Peni Parker's suit was created by Oscorp. Oscorp also used the Sym Engine which was used to create Peni's mech to create the VEN#m mech and chose Addy Brock to pilot it because of her psychological connection to it.

Now later, Peni has to fight M.O.R.B.I.U.S. but is defeated and captured by him, leading to Addy Brock's VEN#m mech being deployed to help her. During the fight, the VEN#m suit lost control and Peni had to take it down using her Sp//dr mech.

Addy and Peni's Aunt May tried to fix the VEN#m suit, but it was too late. The suit went completely crazy and took over Addy's mind, assimilated her body with cables and tendrils. When Aunt May tried to intervene, it consumed her.

Peni's canon event is completely based off the Evangelion Units 01 and 03 from the Neon Genesis Evangelion series.

Pretty sad :(

CHOSEN BLOOD - Theo//Andrew BG

I SWEAR I tried to make this the cliff note version, but here is some background on our two BFF's in question:

Andrew Montrose Back Story |Blood Cursed|

Andrew is part of a historically prestigious animagus family. The Tamerlaines have all shared the form of shifting into lions as their shape. It fits, considering they act as though they rule everything. The Tamerlaines have a dark history of a fight to power, and are involved in business both commercial….and illicit. Montrose has always been subjected to the need to show strength, considering his father had him in a fighting ring at 5 years old. He has seen many a show of violence at his father’s hands, and so he decides to turn to books instead in defiance….to use knowledge and words as a weapon and not his hands.

 However  — as an unfortunate result of a business deal gone wrong, Andrew finds himself in a crossfire. A vindictive business partner casts a blood curse on him in revenge for his father’s misdoings. Similar to a maledictus, he transforms into his beastly shape with no warning, rhyme or reason. And that shape is certainly no lion.  As he grows older, it gets worse. And violent. To the point that his family constrains him at the slight warning of the transformation. For this affliction, though not of his own fault, he his shunned by his family after already being named second to his brother in all ways. He is sent away to Hogwarts, and told to never return, for they cannot be shamed by his nature. It adds to his thankless drive for perfection, to prove himself without the shadow of his family name. Those who try to befriend him because of his family’s ties to power cause him to distrust everyone, wondering if he will ever be seen as himself beyond his affliction, or name.

Theo Back Story| Wild Magic|

Theo’s parents were archeologists, and she was always happy to be towed along on each of their digs. It is one unfortunate dig that calls out a power in her that was unknown before. A fire sparks, the camp is taken out. 

Theo is left parentless and living with her aunt. Her aunt reveals to their family has Huldra blood in their line. When it arrises, it may cause stronger calls to nature, shifting one's magic trace just slightly. It is one that causes affinity to certain ‘wild magic’ that can be produced without a wand. It’s possible that in Theo’s case, that magic is fire. 

She blames herself endlessly and turns to Herbology, and plants, to show she is capable of creating growth, and not just burning things down. 

Humble Beginnings:

Despite a rocky start with much fighting that lasted from their first year to their fifth (mainly Theo trying to stand up for those Andrew snaps at, and Andrew passing jabs at how she is entirely too willing to help others when no one asks for it) Theo and Andrew both somehow find themselves as loners. 

While both of their family histories had preceded them to Hogwarts, the reasons for their isolations were much different. For Andrew, it was a choice. He was devastatingly aware that people tried to use him, whether his own family connection or just to social climb. But none of them truly know him. For Theo, it was a constant battle to prove her worthiness - that she was not the accident that had stained her family name, and that she could be worthy of friendship because it was all she wanted to give. 

It was slow, but over time it was as if they both saw a reluctant recognition in each other despite being total opposites, both trying to prove they were more than their demons. 

As opposite as they were in every manner, one night their opposite schedules was the reason a disaster was averted.  Theo liked to be up into the night, spending evenings under the stars in her flower grove, while Andrew enjoyed the solidarity of the early dawn before the rest of the world was awake to pass judgement. 

He had been running in attempts to keep the blood curse from rising. Somehow physical exercise helped with keeping it at bay. Until one night. 

During his run, he was wracked with a sudden chill, his breathing uneven and pallor drained. 

Theo had been walking back to the castle, and heard the anguished scream as she rushed to find Andrew, seeing him doubled over, body spasming as the transformation took place. Not knowing what to do, she simply holds him to remind him he is not alone. Her parents told her to always be the hand that reaches out, and despite the fighting between her and Montrose, she never stopped.

Eventually, the shaking stops and the transformation stills. 

Conscious again, Montrose is at first shocked that now she is now the only other soul behind his family that knows his truth. He is shocked when she doesn’t run from it, but offers him her own truth instead. Her wild magic and it’s volatile threat that plagues her constantly, and his curse that offers no promise of any future no matter how hard he tries to overcome and be the best at everything. 

They are friends reluctantly, only to see if they can help each other find help for both of their natures, knowing they are worth more than their demons. 

An experiment and a deal is struck. Theo mentions that the Huldra in her bloodline and it’s ties to nature may help dilute the blood curse with another sort of magic, perhaps confusing the curse. 

She offers him her blood, and he takes it, and it works to subdue his blood cursed form….and it also helps her to release some of the fire that lingers. It is not a gift that Andrew takes lightly, and it makes him realize that she does it without asking for anything from him. It is that part of her that instills their friendship, and it is also why he allows her all the ‘dog and leash’ jokes….for there is no better way to deal with trauma than with humor. 

It seems that while they help each other this way, they can survive. And so they help each other survive through more than just blood. But the true gift is the friendship and bond that forms. 

There is a side effect to this transaction, however. The alchemy of this mixture creates a bond between the two of them, heightened to each other’s emotions. This comes in handy when Montrose is being especially hissy, but Theo knows his true feelings underneath it all, and therefore pushes him to accept that side of him more than the one that lashes out. 

In return, Montrose pushes her to stop being such a ray of sunshine all the time, when he knows she doesn’t want to be.

There are SOME times where this connection is rather unfortunate. But that’s another story. 

Overall, they are still very much opposites in all ways, but their connection is one of chosen blood, and chosen sacrifice. Despite their pasts, they know if that isn’t family, then what is.
