#MIGUEL EXPLAIN

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

You know what's crazy Miguel really be like 'Miles you're not supposed to be Spider-Man' meanwhile-

???????? ? ???

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ben Reilly a literal clone 🤨😐

Y'all got a test tube baby on the roster.my man was grown in a lab and y'all still talking about 'youre not supposed to be Spider-Man Miles!!'

Fuck being Spider-man that man ain't even supposed to be alive. he's a CLONE. He can't have an Aunt May cause he doesn't have a MOM cause he's A CLONE

Was he even BIT??? Or was he literally created as Spider-man already?? Where's his Peter???? Dead?? At the Society as well??

MIGUEL??!!! YOU DENSE MFER!!!!! YOU ARE MAKING NO SENSE!!!!!!!!

Continuing the theme of Wade being scared and horny opportunist. Also a very important question for a bonus gratuitous panel that will happen because Migs is a man of his (sleepy) word:

watching atsv I got mildly upset that miguel named it the “arachno-humanoid POLY-MULTIverse” bc it’s redundant, but then I realized

they did that on purpose

redundancy is a heavy theme throughout the movie - spot saying “atm machine,” miles getting 2 cakes, PAVITR AND “CHAI TEA”

there’s PATTERNS!! there’s PATTERNS EVERYWHERE and you’re fucking LAUGHING??!?

[duckapus]

It honestly makes sense that Noir and Ham didn't end up in the Spider Society because a Nazi-punching Detective and a Cartoon Reporter would've almost immediately clocked everything wrong with Miguel's "stick to the script" "some losses are acceptable and necessary, actually" philosophy, and they would not have been able to be nearly as subtle as Hobie when going against him.

Here's a thought...are the kids ever going to find out Kreese strangled Johnny in the parking lot after he lost the '84 All-Valley? Because it's not clear to me that any of them, even Robby and Miguel, know that happened and that's such a major turning point for his character...there's drama to be mined there.

I wonder if/when Pavitr Prabhakar finds out that his girlfriend’s dad was supposed to die and that Miles disrupted the canon because it seemed like he didn’t know that was gonna happen. Pavitr was also not present at Spidey HQ with all the other Spidey people as Miles learns about the canon events that are “supposed to” happen to make Spider-Man. I think Hobie would tell him, or him and Gwen would.

Or maybe he did know it was gonna happen and started panicking for that reason. Then it would make more sense why he was not invited to Spidey HQ because he would have been on Miles’s side from the start, and Miles would have Pavitr, Hobie, and Margo on his side.

In the first Spider-Verse movie during Gwen’s background she mentions that she saved her dad from getting shot. Then in “Across The Spider-Verse” her dad quits his job as Captain. Soooo canon can be changed because Gwen had already saved her dad and everything was fine.

no offence but are you telling me that some people genuinely don't understand why they would use a scene from miguel's first tournament win, one where he was focused on winning at all cost, full of anger and fought dirty as a flashback during miguel's sekai taikai fight where he was told and shown to understand he can't go into a fight filled with anger or wanting revenge, acknowledged that he's going to fight for himself and how far he's come along with honouring everything johnny taught him, was told repeatedly that winning and point scoring isn't everything and to put everything out there, the good and the bad and just do his best and when fighting against axel, he fought clean and won fair and square.

[smuby]

yeah across the spiderverse was pretty good

[starkrebellion]

I could complain about the fact that Robby isn't going to win, but I'm going to save that for later. BECAUSE I'm just so happy to finally see Robby having a lot of supportive people around him instead of having to go through everything alone. And right now that's enough but yk let's see how I feel about it in 10 days...

[the-squeege]

couples who call each other dude and bro (I love them so much)

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

Miguel really be like 'you're not supposed to be spiderman but also your dad has to die because you're spiderman and if he doesn't die the world will end and it'll be your fault cause you're spiderman'

Wait Sir you lost me I'm not following can rerepeat your logic? Can you elaborate? Can you rephrase the statement?? I must not be understanding

[thelmis]

miguel noticing his web of his own canon events in the spiderverse is starting to manifest an additional event. it's hard to make out what it is exactly, but he can faintly make out a face underneath the glitches. he asks lyla to keep track of it for him. a few years pass, and at this point he's put it in the back of his mind. then he meets you. you've only recently started your own journey post-radioactive spider bite and yet you've shown yourself to be a natural at your skills, leading him to recruit you after running into you during one of his usual anomaly pursuits. it's a little while after your first meeting that lyla tells miguel about an update to his canon: your web has been connected to his.

[neonbrutalism]

spider-gabe and prowler miguel reunite between movies

[cobra-wives]

an old war buddy of yours

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

little cobra kai update: everyone is still pissing me off but when i tell you that miguel is SO fine AHHHH !! i've been holding back from saying something but he is SO GORGEOUS, I CAN'T EVEN-

[spidey-bie]

I'm trying to connect the dots here. There's gonna be a longer posts about this later but isn't the entire spider society's existence just a break in canon but itself. You have all these spider people gathered together in a world set in the far future and you think they're not gonna take stuff back with them? Hobie's constructed a whole multiverse watch with scraps that he stole. His universe is set in the 1970's Noir took a whole color cube. His universe is colorless. MIGUEL. SIR, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
