#doublebind AND the tonal presentation of his breakdown - this makes the most sense to be something he's repressing.

"why does miguel purport two contradictory understandings of the canon framework" <- idealogical doublebind anchored by guilt.

also, important to remember the context of the second understanding (miles is an anomaly that can therefore can only cause harm) only appearing when miguel has emotionally cracked. all his supppressed doubt abt his path surfaces in a moment of high emotional tension and so he tries to cram his understanding of miles back into that framework from the opposite direction (no longer spiderman, instead as an outlier beyond it's boundaries: an anomaly), even though it cannot work. because miles' very presence is a beacon of doubt that he's accidentally doomed people all over again, and he's terrified he's done so.

#i feel like. analysis of miguel would benefit a lot from examining his actions with the question of 'why does this character suppress doubt' #in mind. as well as thinking about WHEN he purports certain views when the context clues to this character reinforce his sincere desire to #protect people from harm. #theres also something AGAIN surfacing imo about how miguel conceptualises his own spiderman identity given he still seems to be an #engineered spiderman and miles mirrors him in this not seemingly being Ordained by the canon. but thats speculation rn and we don't have #the info to actually. posit concrete analysis. but yeah one of the things i think people are getting tripped up by w miguel. is assuming he #is consciously considering both incompatible concepts simultaneously. when i think - given WHEN the second one surfaces and miguel's guilt #doublebind AND the tonal presentation of his breakdown - this makes the most sense to be something he's repressing. #tunes talks spiderverse
