This Is Why The Conversation Of Representation In The Media Came Back Up! All These Years Poc Saw White

this is why the conversation of representation in the media came back up! all these years poc saw white people on screen and now they are seeing THEMSELVES on screen. it’s so important for black people like me and other poc to be seen in the media.

I’m starting to see (yt) ppl complain about authors only writing x black/poc readers… i dont wanna hear nun cuz yall get everything, I don’t wanna read a book where my hair is flowing in the air while i’m talking to miles, bc it WONT. I want fics where we dance together to spanish music or rnb after I braid his hair. Hobie wouldn’t want a basic white person who does basic white person things, thats boring. Hobie would want someone (most likely colored, sry to break it to you) to try to fight for our people in the free time, or where he retwists my locs for me and i help maintain his wicks while listening to slow jams.

Yt people take over every type of media we have. Im not saying not to write x white readers, just be inclusive. And work on your spanglish and aave while ur at it… 😬

it anything happens to them in btsv im not gonna be crying in the theater like everyone else no bitch im killing myself

miles sketching gwen dancing... they are so.

when my friend’s bias is looking a lil too fine

I REALLY HOPE UR WRONG BUT THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL ANALYSIS

Beyond the Spiderverse Theory!!

contains spoilers for across the spiderverse

okay so in the next movie, beyond the spiderverse, i think miles’ dad will survive. somehow, someway he’ll be saved from his untimely death.

miles was told numerous times in across the spiderverse that he cannot have his cake and eat it too. and he retorts with “unless you have two cakes!” miles is unmoving on his belief of “spiderman always does both.”

while reading out what he wants the bakery to write on the cake, he’s told it won’t fit on one. so he opts for buying two cakes, but while being spiderman, stopping a villain and swinging to his apartment, (aka: trying to do both) he’s late for his parents’ party, both of the cakes are ruined, he misses his dad’s heartfelt speech and then gets grounded. essentially the lesson from this is that he has to choose his battles correctly, that he cannot do both.

when miles finds out his dad is supposed to die, he tells miguel that he can save his father and save the city/civilians, because spiderman ALWAYS does both, but like we‘ve seen numerous times, sometimes doing both just isn’t possible. in order to have one thing, you have to give up something else. he’s told that this is what being spiderman is all about, that this is what he signed up for.

miles isn’t satisfied with this answer, and says he’s gonna do his own thing.

a good portion of the movie focuses on the development of miles’ and his mom’s relationship, while him and his dad’s is still kind of rocky. he’s growing up right in front of her eyes and she has to change the way she parents, but expresses that she’s scared of losing her little boy to the world, and that she just wants to protect him because others might not have his best interests at heart— and we end up seeing that later on. our focus is pulled from this when we see what miles’ canon event is supposed to be— his dad’s death.

where i’m going with this? the one you expect is never the one they take. usually the character who we think is the safest, is actually the one who’s in danger.

in miles’ comics, during the battle with venom, he saves his father from dying but while this happens, the police accidentally shoot (and kill) his mother, rio, when they were aiming for venom. and as she’s bleeding out in his arms, this is when he finally confesses to her that he’s spiderman (something he didn’t get to do at the end of the movie because he was in the wrong universe). more happens w this in the comics but we know sometimes movies don’t follow the plot to a T, and beyond the spiderverse is supposed to be the end to his story.

so let’s replace venom with another villain that we’ve recently been introduced to, the spot. another ridiculously powerful villain that the cops will stupidly try and apprehend with guns that don’t stand a chance like they always do.

that being said, i don’t think they’re going to kill off miles’ dad.

i think they’re going to kill off his mom.
