Hobie's Canon Event

Okay, so I see a lot of people talking about how Hobie probably lost a police captain and that was his canon event and etc...

but people seem to be forgetting that this guy kills cops on a day-to-day basis

like he fucking hates cops

He hates cops to the point where he even talks about them in his intro, depicting them as pigs and smashing their heads in with his guitar

You see that? It literally shows the cop with a pig snout and pig ears 😭

"Maybe he lost a police officer that was his friend"

HUH??

Bold of you guys to assume that he'd be friends with a police officer in the first place

Hobie's character is extremely hard to understand. To this day there are still people confused about what he said in the movie, due to his thick accent and the fact that everything he said had some sort of double-meaning. He's a super well-developed character with a genuine backstory.

This is why its important to pay attention to his character instead of projecting your own emotions onto him

Gwen and Miles are easy to play around with. They say what they mean and everything they say is fairly light-hearted. The same goes for Pav, its very easy to understand what he means when he talks about something. They are also well-written characters but their dialogue isn't as deep as Hobie's.

Its a lot easier to make things up about the others without undermining their character. But you can't do that with Hobie brown while still being accurate.

Writing him requires a lot of research. It requires a lot of understanding.

I get that these are headcanons but headcanons can't be an excuse to diminish his character and what he stands for

Someone ACAB wouldn't have been friends with a police captain.

He either killed his police captain or his police captain wasn't actually a captain and was his version of Captain America (Karl) or some other superhero

It makes more sense for his canon event to have been a dog named Captain than an actual police officer.

write for yourself. put your fantasies on paper. no one knows what you are writing. no one knows what's in your head. no one is going to write it for you. if you don't write down your ideas they will disappear. if you are too scared to write your thoughts then don't write, try something different. if writing is the only way, get to writing. no one else's opinion matters. no one else's opinion will ever matter

"maybe you weren't hard enough on him!" - gwen to miguel once miles escaped

i'm sorry what

girl he was literally holding miles down, miles was CLAWING at his back, pretty sure miguel had miles by the throat too like what did you want miguel to do???? KILL MILES???

this is why i vote margo as a love interest

i mean if they HAVE to have a love interest for miles, it should be margo

cuz she helped him, she could have stopped him but she didn't.

AND AND

she's even shown at the end of the movie to help him, she didnt have to, she didn't even know him but she did !!

plus idk how you fall in love with someone who put you in a life or death situation with hundreds of people chasing you down.

i get friends, maybe, but partners?????? after that whole thing?

gwen could have immediately told miles what was going on and been honest but she didn't.

idk what's going on with her and hobie that she has to keep hidden.

like how she says that it could have been someone elses sweater to miles when hobie mentions her sweater being at his house.

or when pavitr says "he (miles) doesn't know about hobie?" something like that to gwen

and when miles asks how many missions gwen and hobie went on together and gwen says "a few" while hobie says the exact opposite.

From the moment I watched Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse I´ve been dying to make a SpiderPunk badass fanart that make him justice and just I found some time before I start working on my next comic-book issue to try some of those twisted multi-verse colors and FX.

Late af to the hype but

When I came out of the cinema watching Spider-Verse I just HAD to draw some spider people. This one was super fun to make. Hobie is such a fun character, both in personality and design. I had a blast drawing him listening to some rock!

The Three Act Structure as Foreshadowing in Across the Spiderverse

I re-watched Across the Spiderverse yesterday, as its a perennial favorite in our household, and once again found the crafting of the story so rich that there's always something new to discover. In this case, whether or not we've left Miles in a good place or a bad place at the end of the film is left ambiguous, and this ambiguity is built into the very structure of the film.

In a Shakespearean comedy or tragedy, one easy way to chart which one the story takes place in is whether it begins in a good place or a bad place. If the story opens with happiness and triumph, bad news, you're in a tragedy. And vice versa, if something bad happens at the beginning, good news, you're in a comedy.

For example, Othello begins with Othello's triumphant return to the city after a successful military campaign, honored and adored by the city, and ends in the destruction of everything and everyone he loves. Whereas in Much Ado About Nothing, Beatrice's best friend Hero is falsely accused of infidelity, creating the dramatic action of the story (gross simplification) and unlike poor Desdemona in Othello, by the end her name is cleared and all the happy couples can get married.

Right, so back to Across the Spiderverse, Act 1 opens with Gwen and Miles, our co-protagonists, in a bad place. Their secrecy around their Spider-Person identities are leaving their family lives in shambles, with Gwen estranged from her father and Miles feeling alienated from his parents. However, Act 1 ends on a happy, hopeful note in the form of the Spiderverse HQ. Miles finally got his wish to reunite with his Spider-family, and the future (literally, 2099) seems bright.

But watch out. Because Spider-verse brilliantly uses story hooks to pull you from one Act to the next. Act 1 really follows its own plot structure, with The Spot as action, A-plot villain being battled throughout. The emotional, B-plot story is around family trust and loneliness. By the end, Mumbhattan is saved, though the Spot got away, tugging us along through the story, and Miles and Gwen's loneliness is at least temporarily solved with all the new and old Spider-friends they meet.

However, this means we go into Act 2 in triumph. Which means we've got tragedy on the horizon. Act 2 has Miguel as our villain, they don't make much secret of it, and the encounter with him as Miles eventually flees the Spiderverse HQ is the action climax of Act 2. Our themes of belonging reemerge and echo Into the Spiderverse, (sometimes with direct visual call-backs, flashes of the younger Miles while he flickers between universes, as well as with the return of Peter B.).

Now, this is where the structure gets interesting. Because I argue that Act 2 ends with Miles escaping Spiderverse HQ and Gwen being forcibly kicked out. Act 3 is a shorter Act, but not as short as it seems, from when Miles ends up in Universe 42 to the end credits is actually a pretty long sequence. In that sequence, we close out other important beats in the story, like the dangling thread of Gwen and her father's estrangement.

So, Gwen's story in Act 3 begins with a tragedy: she's been kicked out of Spiderverse HQ against her will. This consequence she's feared since the beginning, that she'll be forced to return to her home universe, is finally realized. However, note that structure again, because she starts in a bad place, we can fully expect her to end in a good place. And she does! She reconciles with her father, defeats the bad guys like 90's Spider-Man (Ben Reilly) and gets the band back together. She has finally resolved her emotional story, which began in tragedy and thus moved towards comedy/happiness. She is full-actualized with her allies by her side and her father back in her corner.

Miles though? Miles story gets really interesting in Act 3.

Because at first glance, his story would be the opposite of Gwen's. She was kicked out of HQ, but Miles fled which means his arrival should be a triumph. That would mean he's set up for tragedy, and that is what it appears to be at first. He ends up imprisoned by the Universe 42 Miles Morales and Uncle Aaron, apparently getting ready for a fight for his life and for the life of his father.

However, it's actually a bit ambiguous if he opens tragically or comedically. Because Miles doesn't know where he is. So arguably, you could flip the truth of the opening of Act 3 - Miles begins tragically, because he tried to go home but he's actually far from it, in another universe.

But here the flipping gets even more interesting and complex, because I'm not convinced Miles is the good guy in Universe 42. His speech to Universe 42 Rio about how he "beat them all" in terms of his former Spider-friends sure sounds a lot like a villain speech. Miles also dives in by making a lot of assumptions when he arrives there, like that Uncle Aaron is a bad guy here too, that he's the Prowler, and that this means he's a supervillain. When he learns that Universe 42 Miles has assumed the mantle of the Prowler, he continues to try to talk them into joining, "the good side" all based on almost zero information. They laugh at him. But why are they laughing?

All we know about Universe 42 is that they never had a Spider-man. That Miles was supposed to be the Spider-man of this universe, but the collider transported the radioactive spider so it bit our Miles instead. Miles knows nothing about what this unprotected universe suffered as a result but at first glance, it's clearly bad. Indeed, on that point alone as Miguel pointed out, our Miles is a villain in this universe because his becoming Spider-man robbed them of their Miles Spider-man.

And actually, knowing that Miles is Miles, that he's a good kid at heart, there's just as much evidence that in this universe, Miles is already a good guy, that Uncle Aaron is his mentor (after all Uncle Aaron was always a bit on the fence about evil and in a world that's gone to evil, it's easy to imagine that he leans good). Thus, 42-Miles and 42-Aaron's anger and dark amusement at Original Miles speech about good vs. evil could be because they're offended to be labeled as villains by this privileged kid who never lost anything, who indeed comes from a privileged universe where his father never died.

So going back to the Act 3 structure, from the Miles perspective, which is subjective and not objective, the Act begins with a triumphant escape, and therefore must be headed towards a tragic defeat - capture by his evil alternate universe self. But Miles didn't know at first that he was tragically in the wrong universe. Which means that he could actually be in a structural comedy: beginning the Act with something bad happening, a transport accident gone wrong, and ending it exactly where he needs to be: surrounded by heroes who can help him, his own alternate universe self who is a good guy in this universe, along with Uncle Aaron. All of the darkness is in Miles's head, because he just came from a place where he was betrayed by supposed allies, but actually it's much more complicated than that, ending in ambiguity.

when making a character, u have to ask urself:

are they bloody?

will they ever be bloody?

is it their blood or somebody elses blood theyre covered in?
