#legitimately any Miguel is evil take falls apart the moment you consider he has nothing to GAIN from this

[fellhellion]

Self admitted Miguel girlie here sure, but I’m just. honestly floored by takes that assume small inconsistencies between Miguel’s story about the collapsed dimension and how canon events operate = that he’s lying, and its not the story asking you to understand and accept a particular kind of lens to its stakes (what canon events represent and allow the characters to confront is more important than a scientific understanding to the pure mechanics) plus the fact that well.

Miguel doesn’t linger on these inconsistencies because he blames himself. Of course he Occam’s razor-s his own traumatic event and assumes his presence was inherently destructive, of course he’s unwilling to play mad scientist with billions of lives and see for sure what triggers will ensure dimensional collapse.

Even if blaming himself is the one of the worst, most isolating burdens, at least it’s an answer. It least it provides a path forward that will protect people, however stained that path is.

And if he’s wrong, not only does he have no answer for why he’s suffered, why an entire dimension suffered, even if it was never a moralised answer - but he has no certainty as to what to even do now. Every action that he took knowing the moral concession it asked of him as Spider-Man meant nothing, and he’s accidentally doomed people all over again.

#miguel o'hara #atsv #legitimately any Miguel is evil take falls apart the moment you consider he has nothing to GAIN from this #he’s buckling under the weight of his own guilt and grief and he’s so isolated from even his own organisation #he’s just. honestly doing the equivalent of self harm by watching Gabriella videos over and over again while hating the path he’s on but #believing there’s no other way #he’s literally sunk cost fallacy-ed himself in his own guilt and it’s TRAGIC and it makes me so annoyed lmao to see people view all of that #and go omg he’s just evil for incomprehensibly stupid reasons THAT DONT MAKE SENSE W THE ACTIONS HE TAKES #tunes talks spiderverse
