My rant on ITSV and ATSV

So I've just finished watching the ITSV and ATSV because I'm a late watcher, and when the movies came out I wasn't myself. I'm glad I took the time to watch them, although I had to buy ATSV online because it's no longer in the cinema. This means I got to watch my favourite scenes without issue. With that being said, I have a lot of things to get off my chest regarding both films, mostly with the characters.

Warning: Long post and slight bashing of characters and terrible screenshots.

I don't want to be one of those people who hate Gwen just to hate on her, and I don't hate or dislike her character, but right from the jump her vibe was just off. She felt like one of those characters that disliked the main character for no reason despite barely interacting with her/him (them). I know that isn't the case but I didn't like the way she was blankly talking to him. I'm using the word 'blankly' because I can't think of another word other than 'coldly'.

During the chase scene where Miles and Peter steal the computer, she comes out of nowhere and helps save the day. I was glad but at the same time what the hell. Anyways, Miles compliments her haircut and she snaps with "You don't get to like my haircut.", referring to when he accidentally got his hand stuck to her hair and she had to get half her hair shaved off, I understand getting angry about that. It was an accident, and Miles could've apologised (I don't remember him saying sorry), but she's acting like he did it on purpose.

To top it all off she knew he was like her, which meant she knew what he was going through as he was transitioning. Getting taller, hearing multiple voices, hands sticky, and all that stuff. So that means she's aware that it was an accident, and there's also the fact that she pretended to be a student at his school and hovered around him. She bumped into him on purpose knowing he was a fellow spider.

When you think about it, why didn't she try to get to know him and investigate with him about what's going on? She just left him to discover his spider side chaotically. She should know how scary and confusing that is, but not once does she attempt helping him out.

I'm gonna sweep it under the rug because they are teenagers, and even if they were adults they shouldn't be expected to be more sympathetic to each other. But you'd think she'd be a little bit more understanding. (Don't get me started on her going into his artwork and opening his collectable in ATSV)

Now, Uncle Aaron. I love his dynamic with Miles, the true cool uncle. His love for his generation of hip hop and us seeing Miles' taste of music. The graffiti art bonding, loved it. There were small hints that he was the Prowler. The 1610 Peter getting killed near where Miles and Aaron did the graffiti, Miles calling him while he's being chased by the Prowler, and the Prowler appearing in Aaron's home. I'm thinking "Where's Aaron in all this?" dun dun dun, he's the Prowler. I loved every bit of it. This also makes Miles different from other spider men, being the fact that his loved one ended up being an antagonist, and one scarier than Kingpin. There's no "With great power comes great responsibility." instead it's "In a bad person you can find good in them." Also, the inner torment that he was about to harm his own nephew is chef's kiss. Uncle Ben who?

Moving on to ATSV. It opens up with Gwen and her meeting Miguel and Jess. She looked at Jess and said "Will you adopt me?" Like??? Where yo mum at? I know she passed away, but still. You've only had one look at this woman and that's one of the things that comes out of your mouth? You don't know this woman! Jess sounds like one of those women that only talk with attitude no matter what so I had a hard time rocking with her, like what is her problem??? And she's fighting while pregnant... smdh.

Spot. Funny villain, I liked his banter with Miles, but he's a pu**y punk bi**h. He's blaming Miles for what he became, when he's the one that decided to become a mad scientist and work with other mad scientists under Kingpin. I'm pretty sure there's more to it than a bagel. Lesson is: once you become a mad scientist something happens to you. Norman Osborn became Green Goblin, 65 Peter (Gwen's home) became a monster and died, Shang Tsung got Rick Rolled by himself, you get the idea. Spot made himself like that not Miles.

So Gwen didn't talk to Miles for a really long time because of the whole Spider society thing. When you think about it, none of the other spiders he met did, and I get that they couldn't with the exclusion of Peni. But not one visit? Not one letter? Something??? Now Miles has a little short conversation with Hobie and admits that he only wants to get into the Spider society to talk to his friends and help out with defeating Spot. He just wants to hang with his friends, but Peni and Gwen decided not to do that.

Moving on, I'd like to talk about Miles' walk through within the spider society. They acknowledge Gwen and only Gwen, they don't bother saying hi or even looking at Miles. It was like Miles wasn't even there. Never thought I'd say it, but these Spider men are arse holes. I also got annoyed at the way Jess was talking to him, I get that he's not supposed to be there but she needed to chill.

This anger went when Miles bumped into Margo, and she looked like she was about to lose her cool but she lightened up once she saw who it was, a complete stranger. I'm not a MargoMiles shipper, but I don't mind it (granted so long as they are the same age).

So the scene that goes 0 to 100 quick: I watched a bunch of memes and edits that painted Miguel as racist and I didn't understand why, and thought it was like a Millie Bobby Brown situation. Re-watching the scene where Miles meets Miguel I can see why.

All the other spidermen showed up to gang up on Miles.

"You can't ask me not to save my father."

"I'm not asking."

And hit him with this.

While Miles is freaking out at the sudden imprisonment we can hear Miguel say "We just need to hold him a few days." They were treating Miles like a criminal and/or a confused wild animal. And then Miguel had the nerve to say "All he had to do was listen." when Miles escaped them. I don't think Miguel is racist, but the memes I will support.

Hobie was looking out for Miles as soon as he met him, and I love that so much. He knew Miles wasn't like the ones in the spider society, and made sure to tell Miles to be better. Gwen didn't do that. She did, but she didn't if you know what I mean. She followed along with the crap Miguel was spitting.

And then there was the chase scene. Bro had a bunch of spider men chase Miles and not one of them could catch him. That is the biggest L I've ever seen. One 15 year old boy, and he didn't use his other 2 powers until after Miguel slammed him onto his back. Miles was not playing. Also, Miguel was endangering the lives of people who were driving. And yes, Miguel's at fault and not Miles.

They gave Miles crap just because he didn't want his dad to die, unlike Miguel who actively replaced the life of his other self. Gwen was really going to let her dad die, and Peter B tried to justify it by saying their uncle's death made them who they are. Pavitr was just supposed to get over his love interest's dad dying? They knowingly let that happen.

Miguel calling Miles an anomaly is mega projecting. Miles becoming Spiderman wasn't on purpose it just happened, and that's always how the story goes. No one is simply meant to be Spiderman, they just become him/her. It's also funny coming from a man who crawled on all fours chasing down a teenager.

42 Miles. Prowler Miles. Gonzales. Kilo Immorales. I love him already, can't wait to see the next film where we'll see him in full action. I love how we as a fandom collectively agreed that these two would have a sibling dynamic even though we've only seen 42 Miles for like a minute. I love the Boondocks comparisons as well. I need 42 Miles to hate everyone. I need Miles to be full of rage in the 3rd film Adult Gon style. Prepare for double and make it double.

In conclusion, I should've watched these films when they first came out, they are so great. The art, the incorporation of hip hop and correctness of Afro related backgrounds and the storyline. I honestly felt like Miles was a great representation of the new generation. I saw myself in him, and not just being black but the graffiti and finding out that a family member of yours isn't really a good person. I don't do graffiti or art but I do find them beautiful whenever I see them. Also, the Air Forces. Step aside Peter Parker, we have a Spider man with more drip.

I open tomorrow so, here’s hoping for calm since I know I won’t go straight to sleep after tonight’s episode. And oh boy, my thoughts on Mindy got away from me a little bit 😂😂😂.

I think there’s two ways it could go. The cop out being that she was a shitty parent in the same way Helena was before the writers tried to make Helena whatever they were going for in season 2.

The more nuanced version is, Mindy was (probably) Jesse’s first victim and it’s a fact that the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you’re leaving it. And given that Mindy is a WOC and Jesse is a YT man there’s another level of danger where he could have disappeared her and gotten away with it. So I assume she’d have had to do a lot of planning and making hard choices before she even left Jesse. So my best guess is there was some mental gymnastics going on convincing herself Jesse would never hurt his kids, and she probably convinced herself that her sons(who are men of color) would be better protected by Jesse’s white privilege. She also might have thought if she left and got her feet under herself it would be easier to take Jesse to court later and regain custody of her kids and Jesse used her leaving into manipulating the boys and their feelings about their mom.

This is obviously all speculation based on barebones information. Since in S1 when Alex was talking to Kyle in the cabin bunker he tells Kyle he wasn’t loved because his mom was gone and his dad was an abusive dick, then a couple episodes later Alex tells Jesse he called Mindy. Then in S2 Flint made the comment about when mom decided to leave dad she decided to leave us to leave us too and Alex saying she didn’t know what Jesse would do to them. But who knows what her story is because Roswell refuses to tell us damn thing about her.🍤🍤🍤

Ahh opening!! Good luck my friend! haha

Ughh I absolutely love this!! You are so great with head canons my friend haha. I totally forgot about the exchange between Alex and Flint about Mindy leaving them! Which is nuts because I thought I catalogued every Flint convo smdh i'm so disappointed in myself lol I really love the nuanced approach here, taking in the little we do know! I really hope we get to meet her someday, we need to need more!

Well the ep is about to start so I'll see you on the other side haha

Day 66

Pretty decent sleep. Morning ritual went mostly well, couldn’t get Sir’s cereal, damnable legs not wanting to be legs properly. Smdh. But other than that things went well. (Even though it caused me a bit of anxiety, but Sir gave me the phrase and it was ok again.)

Heard back from SNAP - not only are we approved, we’re getting more foods. Hell YES!

Unfortunately we didn’t D&D today, one of our players had a migraine. Owwies. Then he got a whole bunch of bad news too. Sad :( So yea, no D&D. Next week.

VampRP~ Poor Shay. She’s torpored. She got blown up. Again. And was unable to soak the damage. SAD. The good thing is, is that the person playing the suck she’s blood bonded to is retiring that character, so we’re going to have to go through some kind of horrific ritual to unbind her and...then she’ll be free! Free to do as she pleases.

That is...if that doesn’t trigger the traitor mark. *squint* Bleh. (Even though i’m being told it won’t? Buuuut can’t be too sure.)

Fucking tremere. Smdh.

Anyways.

Other than that, didn’t do a whole lot. Worked a little on my longform. Shrug. Watched some livestreams. Jesse. Papacrow. Shrugshrug.

Played more of WaMI and IBD. Shrugshrugshrugshrug. my poor computer though, sitting at 80-95% CPU and 67% mem. xD Ah well. That’s what i get for having three (have Waifu open too) games, two launchers, and like...36ish? tabs of Chrome all running, plus Discord. xD Poor comp. Precious bby. Is ok.

And JUST AS I AM TYPING THIS UP! We got updates kids. LET’S. GO!

First up: Beware of the Villainess! - Oops...bye bye gun. xD WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?! “WHAT WILL FOLLOW” WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Then! Solo Leveling - you LOVE to fucking see it. Oh man oh man oh man. Shit is going down over this new giant ass gate. OH BOY. AND WHO IS THIS YURI ORLOV BISH? OH shit. AND OH SHIT THE MESSAGEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHH! WHAT IS THE REAL ARMY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh no 3 days until the dungeon break?!?! Oh fuck that's not good. Oh noooo. But the keyyyyyyyy. Oh shit. Ugh look at this Yuri Orlov bitch. i already hate him. WHERE IS DADDY BTW? WHERE IS HE? Is he still swimming the ocean? Wtf is going on. Ugh. Need Daddy to show up like yesterday. Bleh. Also - next chapter now pls? *sob*

Ok that’s that.

Back to this.

Liquid was middling, food was pretty alright, pain was middling. Tomorrow maybe Ooblets, maybe Waifu, most likely VampRP. Not sure. Shrug.

#Multiple Sclerosis #OCD #Spoonie #Daily #Idle Big Devil #Wizard And Minion Idle #no D&D #sad #Shaylee the Vampire #VampRP #RP #VtM RP #fucking tremere #Beware of the Villainess!#Solo Leveling #Ooblets #shrug

Am I the only one who’s really kind of worried about Wyatt next episode? I’ve been trying to rationalize a lot of the things he’s done that haven’t sat right with me in 2x03-2x06, but it seems like a lot of people are getting excited for “lyatt heart eyes!” and “jealous Wyatt!” and I’m over here like “But what about your wife Wyatt? You know, the reason you put Lucy through so much hurt?”

Oh wow, nonny, are you me? Because “What about your wife, Wyatt?” is like…a permanent mood atm. Honestly, there’s no rationalizing that can save it, and I’m actually more than a little annoyed with the fact that people won’t just acknowledge the fact that he’s handling this in the worst possible way and live in the discomfort that he’s a hot mess because he’s literally never been perfect and I have no idea where people have gotten this impression from because Error 404 Footage Not Found. Because all this handwaving and nonsense justifications are terrible. He’s being an asshole. Live with it.

And yes, I have also seen that hype and…no. I can and have written thousands of words on toxic romance culture and heteronormativity and toxic monogamy in fandom spaces and this is becoming a case study of allllllll of that. Jealousy and possessiveness are not healthy relationship traits. They aren’t. Burn this whole idea that someone being jealous that you’re with someone else and being hostile to that person as a result is romantic to the ground. Kill it with fire. It is 2018, please stop romanticizing jealousy.

ESPECIALLY in this situation where he is literally WITH JESS. Who he loves. Who he CHOSE. And then THANKED LUCY for convincing Jess to give him another chance. Like, boy, bye. You get nothing here. You have no rights. You do not get to be jealous, you do not get to try and make Lucy feel bad about the fact that she doesn’t want to be around you/can’t handle being your emotional support side piece right now, you do not get to comment on her life/choices/who she hangs out with. NO. It’s not romantic! It’s selfish. It’s a TERRIBLE way to treat someone that you supposedly “love” and even more so when it’s not only hurting Lucy, it’s going to hurt Jess. Smdh, honestly both of these women deserve better right now.

To paraphrase an excellent quote from an analogous situation, Lucy should not have to feel bad or make apologies for how she’s choosing to fix what he broke.

Anyway, I have a mighty need for Wyatt to finally get called out on all of his behavior and rightfully dragged the way he deserves to be dragged and as far as I can tell, that’s finally going to happen so…bless.

Also, it’s laughable that Lucy, who has told him to be with Jess multiple times now and who talked Jess into staying when she was going to leave is really going to do a complete 180 and be throwing him heart eyes and encouraging him to cheat and that’s the damn tea on that.
