Leo And Donnie Dressing Up As Old Ladies Is Arguably Hilarious.

Leo and Donnie dressing up as old ladies is arguably  hilarious.

The fact that apparently Donnie ALWAYS does this with LEO makes me want a whole episode of nothing but flashbacks of all the other times Donnie and Leo have done so.  Like DUDE?  You can’t drop such glorious info and then NOT provide context.

A headcanon about Leo not being a fan of the cold at all (ft. Donnie who also isn't a fan, but can tolerate just a tad bit more)

One thing I really appreciate about Into the Spider-Verse that I don’t see people talk about very often is how competent they portray Peter B as.

Like, in any other movie, you’d have a similar character whose live has become a mess, and they’re sad and kinda pathetic to look at, and when the time comes for them to step up, they just sorta…flop. They’re held back by everything, and they just become incompetent.

But Peter B is different. Yeah, he’s a sad, lonely, middle-aged man who cries in the shower while wearing a spandex suit…

But despite all that…he’s still shown to be extremely good at being Spider-Man.

He escapes from being tied up while still holding a casual conversation

He takes down Miles in less than 10 seconds.

He strolls along the side of a building like it’s nothing.

And when you think about it, over the course of the movie, he kicks a LOT of ass. He’s a badass super hero, despite his flaws.

You ever notice how, when he puts on the mask, his gut sorta disappears? That’s too big of a detail to be an oversight. That’s intentional. I mean, in-universe, it doesn’t make too much sense, but to us, it’s meant to show that it’s not holding him back from being a hero.

He’s not held down by everything. Yeah, he’s a jaded, depressed, mid-life crisis Spider-Man. But he’s still Spider-Man.

They easily could’ve made Peter B sort of pathetic and had him be more of a hinderance than a help during battles. But they didn’t. And I feel like that was a really good way to pay respect to the character while still showing that he’s a heavily flawed individual.

@phecdasolar had an idea for a 2012 au where Leo gets amnesia and wants to just be a Good Brother as opposed to a good leader. And then one day he snaps at Splinter.

Tired: Leo doesn't know how to play chess, while Donnie does.

Wired: Leo does know how to play, and he and Donnie sometimes play it together to bond (only when Leo is insanely bored and doesn't have anything else to do otherwise).

Inspired: Leo knows how to play chess insanely well, to the point of winning almost every match, but just acts like he doesn't because 1.) it's fun to let Donnie think he's won sometimes, and 2.) he knows playing dumb pisses Donnie off beyond belief and it's hilarious to watch him fume.
