Spider-Verse things
I keep hearing this stuff about the characters n such in Spider-Verse, so I wanna vent about it a bit.
I once heard a reviewer claim that Spider-Noir, Ham, and Peni didn’t need to be in the movie and that the movie “would’ve been perfectly fine without them.” Que to when Miles literally states that they’ll be outnumbered with just him, Gwen, and Peter. They’re introduced RIGHT after that. Plus thanks to them, Miles, Gwen, and Peter only had to deal with Doc Oct. (Miles fights Kingpin alone so eh.)
I also see very often of people disliking most of the Spider-People due to them “forcing their expectations on Miles.” If Miles went to fight Kingpin as inexperienced as he was, he would’ve been killed. He barely won when he gained control of his powers so them making sure Miles was ready is fair enough. In fact, Peter was the only one who decided on Miles to stay behind and not get them home, not the others. That was obvious from how they stayed out Miles’ window when he was being told to stay behind. The others WANTED Miles to be the saviour and hero, but I’m 100% positive they ALSO did not want him to die.
Peni Parker from the comic and from the movie have different personalities. Please stop comparing them as if they’re the same. Miles has a totally different personality as well. Can’t say for certain about the others however.
Oh! I almost forgot, happy Spider-Man day to my favorite incarnation, Peter B. Parker! I have nothing against any other version, but I feel like Peter gets perpetually trapped or reset to a high school kid over and over again in most media. It’s like Ash in Pokemon or something. Dude’s been an awkward teen going on decades.
Letting him finally grow up, have adult problems, but still be the awesome Spider-Man and witty hero we know and love just hits different for me. I love him, his mentoring and relationship with Miles and the rest of the spider gang, his insecurities, and his whole arc. He’s the real deal. ❤️
Quick Spider-Gwen
Leap of faith
He isn’t falling. He is rising.
It still gives me chills the tenth time watching it
