i said i wasnt gonna go off in ops tags but im still gonna go off
im seeing a lot of discourse about miguel and how he treats miles and im not gonna write him off cause he was outta pocket but like i consider peter b to way worse than him in that regard
cause for all the shit miguel puts miles through, its (arguably) impersonal. miguel presents himself as an obstacle for miles to overcome from the very beginning. peter b on the other hand, just failed so dramatically to come through when miles needed him and i cant respect that at all
like maybe he trusts miguel and believes what they're doing is necessary for the safety of the universe but he makes the barest minimum attempt to protect miles in any capacity. like miles cannot consider him an ally until its too late and thats so fucked up cause miles looks up to him and respects and loves him so much and what does he do. he lets miguel choke slam miles into a train
and like i know its lampshaded that hes a bad mentor but like shouldnt that weigh on him. hes so nonchalant about it. shouldnt the fact that this kid (honestly these kids plural, counting gwen) trusted him to look out for them and he failed make him question himself
like yeah miguel was too grown to be doing all that but its so much more frustrating watching peter b just fail to be in miles corner.
as i said when i get my hands on peter b parker torn asunder that man will be
#ranting#i dont particularly want to tag this cause i dont want to summon the discourse to my home#i just want to add that i have a lot of thoughts about atsv as a meta narrative about the spiderman archetype#but like the entire point of miles morales in the spiderverse movies is that he defies expectations.#hes not defined by who anyone else says he should be and he has the impact on others that allows them to change in the same way#and peter b fucking Knows this hes seen it in action. he knows miles is a remarkable and capable kid so when he says#''i can save my dad without endangering the multiverse'' peter b should be in his Fucking corner#he should know better than to try and force miles into this strict idea of the spider man archetype especially one that demands he suffer#but idk in this regard i may be forgoing dramatic irony to assume that a character can make the same observation i can#since the point about miles defying expectations is one that is kind of meta. but atsv is kind of a meta narrative and the idea of canon#within the story does kind of mirror the understanding of the spider man archetype outside of it. peter knows about canon and knows miles i#an anomaly. he outright says miles inspired him to change his story so again idk#either way regardless of if this is an observation peter can make he still failed to support miles. miles needed him and he fell through#anyway between captain stacy and peter b the moral of spiderverse is that you cannot trust white men
