Teen girls reading this, if you feel a calling to write fanfiction about a teen girl being transported to a fictional world, go for it. If you want to write about a teen girl being adopted by your favorite characters or joining the fellowship of the ring or becoming a knight, please do.
We should be encouraging kids to be creative and practice writing, an important life skill, not discouraging it because we find teens acting like teens to be cringe.
Mild Across the Spiderverse spoilers but one thing that’s particularly neat about Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk (besides him having one of the coolest animation styles in a film filled with cool animation styles) was how he seems to have deliberately played into the stereotype of a punk (careless guy who breaks important stuff for shits and giggles) as the means to deceive figures of authority & get the tech he needed to be genuinely punk (anti-authoritarian, DIY, non-conformity, no selling out).
i’m not letting anyone get away with that parallel between miles’ dad deciding not to jump into a fight before having his big development and the exact same way miles didn’t in into the spiderverse
Miguel is NOT spiderman, let me make this oh so very clear. I haven’t read his comics but it looks like he is there but he is most certainly not in atsv.
Gwen pokes fun at him not looking like a spiderman when they first meet
His “webs” are distinct from every other spiderman we meet. While everyone else has white webs that bend and flow organically, Miguel’s are red and move in a way reminiscent of a laser grid. They also glow and are just overall quite clearly not natural
His power set is different from the majority of spidermen. Every spiderman we meet seems to have more or less the same power set except for Miles (which we learn in this movie could well be a consequence of him being an anomaly). Miguel also has a very unusual power set. Jess likens him to a vampire, he has enlarged teeth and claws and presumably super strength, but I believe those are all the abilities he displays in this movie. Nothing unique to or even reminiscent of spiderman
Peter comments that he is the only spiderman that doesn’t joke, something the rest of them all have in common
We see him injecting himself with a device that is spider-shaped
And really, what reason does a spiderman have to assembly every other spider-person in existence? The reason he gives in the movie is believable enough, but he is not above lying and it could very well be a coverup. I dare suggest he needs the other spidermen’s dna to make his injection. Maybe something about their powers is what allows him to live past the destruction of his home world. Maybe he’s an anomaly cheating fate, maybe that’s why he hates Miles so much.
Edit: y’all I’m not saying he’s not a spider I’m saying he’s not Spiderman. His ideals and values are not in line with what Spiderman stands for, and his power set and design mirror that distinction.
