Hobie’s response to being reminded about losing someone close to him by reacting with hostile dismissiveness makes sense

he sees this for exactly what it is - Miguel using that trauma to manipulate and control the other Spiders - and it pisses him off instead of letting the sadness over it override his judgment

#Across the Spider-Verse #atsv spoilers #Hobie is the smartest character in the movie and it's great #no wonder he latches onto the younger Spiders too - they haven't been fully indoctrinated yet #and he can encourage them to think more critically #Pavitr hasn't had anything bad really happen to him yet #and he outright states the only reason he sticks around Spider Society is to look out for Gwen #almost everything he says to Miles is either advice on how to use his powers #or encouraging him to think for himself and trust his instincts #actually point of contrast there: when Gwen's doubts start rising she mentions that her gut is telling her this is wrong #and Jess tells her /not/ to trust her gut #and in the end it was Hobie who was actually looking out for Gwen when Jess did nothing to defend her #hell for the most part Gwen's spider team is made up of kids and the very few adults she can trust #and a cartoon pig
