"why are people blaming miguel for having beef with a teenager and not the spot having beef with a teenager" because miguel's beef with a teenager is a lot more interesting, also the spot is clearly a villain with selfish interests and miguel is convinced beating up a teenager is for the greater good. next

opened youtube on a whim to watch the currently available across the spiderverse trailers and the first one was so visually stunning it made me cry LMAO oops. oops whoops. this movie is gonna kill me

saw this grindr screenshot that really spoke to me

thing that is super cool

Ditko originally wanted Miguel to have a purple and orange suit, but the idea got vetoed.

Miguel's suit turns those colours while he talks about the multiverse, like an acknowledgement of what could have been.

And then as he starts bringing the conversation back to the present, back to what has to be, his suit starts turning back.

^suit looking a little bluer and redder

Lowkey I think vetoing the purple was a good idea, but you gotta love how they used colours in this film. Dunno if anyone brought it up before 🤷‍♀️

part of what made across the spiderverse so perfect was that it was largely centered on WHO spider-man is, in EVERY universe. not just Miles, or Peter, or Gwen, or Miguel. Spider-Man. it was about the ESSENCE of Spider-man. Spider-Man is love for humanity. Spider-Man is having to sacrifice and lose everything you love for the mask. Spider-Man is rebellion against the powers that be. Spider-Man is about trying to do both, in every universe. about not taking no for an answer or listening when everyone tells you your destiny. refusing to choose between the things and people you love. that’s why Spider-Man is so compelling: they want everything, even though everyone else tells them they can’t have it. that it’s not meant to be. and they just. keep. trying. keep getting back up. they just keep going, man.

Putting him in a blender

[collieii]

someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

Hey so like. I was thinking 💭

Since it's confirmed that Beyond the Spiderverse will feature Hobie's dimension in its entirety...

do you think we'll see this happen? Gwen and Hobie performing together live?

And like hey wait a minute, mis amiguitos

Does this mean Miles will get to see Gwen perform live on stage???

[meggannn]

the implications of the spiderverse trailer irk me on miles’s behalf. like he saved the multiverse and for four years piggybacking off that stability, miguel creates a team of spiderpeople and doesn’t invite the kid who started it all, even inviting his friends before him and snapping at miles when he asks simple questions? something’s up

one thing I'll say about the spiderverse movies is that they create the desire to draw stuff from them but that idea is a lot less functional than it usually is with literally any other media. if I'm drawing something from she ra or a just roll with it campaign or avatar the last airbender or like. I don't know like. I'm trying to think of a live action things I have drawn about but I can't. I guess I can say even like when I draw dancers I know in real life, a lot of the fun of all this comes from taking what I'm looking at and making it brighter and more saturated and better composed and better coordinating the color scheme and otherwise making the things I think are important and that I visually most value jump out the most. but the Thing about into the spiderverse and the thing even MORE about across the spiderverse is that they already look exactly what I want everything to look like and more like, three times over. you couldn't get more saturated; you couldn't find better color schemes, you couldn't improve on their frame composition if you tried. so I am sitting around thinking man I want to draw stuff from spiderverse!! but I am paralyzed by what the fuck am I even gonna do then LMAO

I really should draw the proper continuation to this comic but insteeeeeead... let's go the super indulgent route ;P

As a self indulgent bonus here is the Jeff the land shark already in his costume. And, continuing my headcanon that Miguel's lab is everybody's fave napping spot, that duckie blankie is totally Mayday's ;)
