Okay theory time. Walk with me.
When I was rewatching ITSV, my brother made a good point. When Norman says "It's not up to me." He asked "why not?" And that's a valid question to ask. Why is Norman Osborn taking orders from Kingpin?
In terms of power, Norman wins. Intelligence? Norman has that too. So I started thinking about this. Why aren't you in control?
So. I figured Kingpin probably has something Norman wants. Something to make him follow orders. Maybe revenge? No, because he's clearly trying to keep Peter out, not kill him. So something more important than Spider-Man.
A cure then? It would certainly help to explain Norman's aggression and desperality.
Tumblr media
But no. Again, Norman has the intelligence to pull this off himself. And the Norman I know would be caught dead before being seen working for someone else. Speaking of which,
Tumblr media
he dies. He straight up dies for this. Maybe it could've been accidental, an unforseen product of his attack against Peter. But again, Norman's not just some wild animal. Despite how he goes from talking to roaring (and we'll get back to that), he is Norman Osborn. Why would he risk destroying the machine and ending his own life in a last ditch attempt to kill Peter? What's the point in getting a cure if you're just going to die without it?
So no. At least. I don't think so. I think it has to be something more important than a cure.
But wait. This is an adaptation of Earth 1610. The Ultimates Universe. Maybe he lost someone? Who did 1610 Norman lose that could be used as-
Tumblr media
Oh. Oh yeah. His son. The thing that, especially if comic-accurate, he would feel guilt for the most.
And we know the collider was built to bring back loved ones. That's the whole reason Kingpin has it, to bring back his wife and son.
And we know they ran tests before the movie begins, because that's how Gwen got there. That's why Kingpin knows that "it's a hell of a freakin light show".
So maybe that's how he got Norman aboard. He showed him the potential of what it could do. What it could bring back. He leveraged his son above him to use his intelligence and use him as a sort of gatekeeper.
It would explain why Norman is so angry, so desperate to just keep Peter out. Why he takes orders from someone he could easily subdue. Why he's reduced to roaring and snarling as the fight enters the collider. Why he's willing to die for whatever was promised.
Because his greatest regret, his greatest failure, his greatest loss- could be undone.

Something something the spot’s goofy antics distract from how dangerous his own entitlement and resentment is
#I don’t want to be that guy but I feel a little bit like spot gets sanded down a tad into just the fact he’s funny#and he IS funny I get it. but what makes him scary is the power to lash out with his entitlement and resentment towards miles#it’s you did this TO ME (miles didn’t#he was busy getting pummeled by kingpin and then venom shocking him back and the building was being EVACUATED it’s literally no one’s fault#but spot’s that he was there AND miles didn’t even know he was there when the collider exploded)#so I’m owed the role that you made me into <- miles literally didn’t do this#I’m OWED being your nemesis because I created you <- when all of itsv is about its miles own choices that make him heroic and not the bite#spot can’t even take ownership of his own actions. he’s like oh IM not robbing you that’s the bank. well buddy I don’t see you robbing the#bank I see you harassing some guy owning a corner store#like I get it. ur a cosmic horror and it sucks capitalism is pushing u down and u can’t get a job but like OWN UP TO WHAT THE HELL YOU DO#LMAO#and even miles trying to genuinely reach out and say look I’m sorry I made u feel bad (even though this isn’t an owed apology) and spot#STILL is hellbent on breaking miles back for an imagined slight#I AM GOING TO KILL YOUR LITERAL FATHER BECAUSE I BLAME YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDNT DO#like god lmao. he’s a fun silly villain but there’s legitimate anger and spite and RESENTMENT motivating him purely to try hurt miles back a#as* badly as he imagines miles hurt him. when it’s like dude. own tf up to who’s responsible here#I’m not angry at the spot btw I actually think he’s a fun villain but I think recognising that resentment is what makes him effective as a#*​frightening* villain and one that poses legitimate danger#tunes talks spiderverse#apologies xinakwans ik u said you didn’t want to read any spot posts hopefully this snags on ur filtered content block shdjfjfk

Peter probably didn’t care too much about the multiverse or canon (hence why he never really took the chase seriously) cause he is like the canon Peter Parker. He is 616B Peter, the B because the events of ITSV and ATSV have basically created a separate 616 Peter (one now exists never went through the events).
Up until the movies every canon event was based on his life and all the trauma and heart ache he has gone through. Can you possibly blame him for not caring too much about a canon that subjects everyone in it to versions of his pain? Peter saying “It’s crazy to run.” to Miles cause he tried to run from all this, leave it in the past only to be thrusted into a place that treats his past present and future like scripture.
Peter likely understood that he owed a lot to Miles for essentially breaking him out of his own self-fulfilling prophecy, though he realized it too late to stop or truly plead with Miguel.

can someone please actually explain how gwen ended up in miles's universe early because it literally makes no sense to me. what do you mean she got "sent into last week." how does that work. why'd she show up on earth 1610 before the collider even went off when all the other spidermen came after peter's death why did brooklyn visions academy let her take classes there how did she not glitch in front of anyone for that whole week when she was spending 8 hours a day in school. please someone explain this i legitimately do not understand

Ok so not once, but TWICE, RIPeter in ITSV says he’s worried using the collider would create a black hole under Brooklyn. And guess what appears in Mumbattan once Spot uses the collider…
Tumblr media
A black hole…
It’s obvious Miguel is wrong about canon events, whether it’s out of ignorance or is intentional is unknown. Because when the world he lived in disappeared, it did not look like it was being enveloped by a black hole. It almost looks like everyone was glitched out of existence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s unknown if they’ll be able to fix Mumbattan, but it’s clear something fishy is going on…

Ok I might be crazy but on rewatch of ITSV it becomes apparent that Peter Parker would’ve died regardless of Miles being there. What killed him wasn’t being “distracted” by Miles - he was pretty laser-focused on the fight, there’s not really any indication that he was checking in on Miles and that’s what killed him. No. What killed him was the shock of getting his head shoved into the collider thingie and then getting beaten to a pulp.
You know what would have happened if Miles wasn’t there though? There wouldn’t be anybody to know who killed Peter, and wouldn’t be anybody to take the goober from him to finish the job. Which would have resulted in kingpin finishing what he started with ease and destroying not only 1610 but possibly the entire multiverse.
So yeah, no, Miles isn’t an anomaly. He saved everyone’s asses at the age of 14 and then went home and did his homework. Put some damn respect on his name.

Okay, I was thinking and... why the hell did Miguel not want Gwen in Spider Society?
You might say, "It's because she was involved in the collider crash, thus linked to Miles who he considers the original anomaly. Besides clearly having strong ties to him."
But you know who else was involved with Collider and has a significant connection to Miles?
Tumblr media
Peter B. Parker! The man was Miles' mentor for God's sake!
And not only was he in the Society, he seemed to be a kind of close(?) of Miguel and be recruited at the beginning of the Society without any problems and was apparently after the events of ITSV.
And don't even say it's because Gwen is a minor because Margo appears in his elite team photo from the beginning along with Jess until. Doesn't seem like age is an issue for him.
Tumblr media
So I ask again, what is it that Miguel has so much against Gwen that he had to see her father want to shoot her to accept her?
Why was he so angry and intransigent with her? Being so paranoid as to be watching her 24/7?
Does Miguel judge Gwen's connection to Miles stronger than Peter and Miles? If yes, why?
I think there's something else there.

i don't personally agree with the perspective that "miguel NEEDS to partially correct about canon events, otherwise he's a villain" because like. setting aside the issue of possibly naturalising the irl choices writers made (e.g. fridging gwen) through the concept of 'canon events', to me defining miguel's morality comes down to two questions:
What is Miguel's intent when pursuing his goal? <- it's unambigiously heroic. he desires to save people. and -
Can I plausibly understand how he has come to the belief system (and therefore goal) he has? Yes. I can understand why, when viewing the things he did (universal patterns of suffering between spidermen & the trauma of that dimension collapse), he came to the conclusion he did.
Keep in mind the other bits of information we and the characters are working with are:
Anomalies seem to affect the world they're in (Vulture appears to affect the Guggenheim's structure w glitches)
They're also in danger of dying if they don't have a stabaliser like the watch
But say for the sake of argument Miguel is completely wrong about breaking canon and doing so would not endanger anyone and the alt dimension collapsed for reasons utterly out of Miguel's knowledge or control. That still doesn't negate the heroic intent he operated by nor his desire to save people.
What "How much or little is Miguel correct?" affects is how tragic it makes Miguel's guilt and the moral concessions he feels that guilt about. Whether you would argue for it being needlessly tragic or bleak is another conversation entirely but how correct he is about what damage canon events cause doesn't actually change the fact he operated on sincerely good and heroic intentions.. And I think atsv already sets up that last point in an understandable manner.

why don't we talk about this more?
In itsv Miles catches Gwen while she's falling into the collider
And after in atsv he catches her a second time while they're in Pav's dimension
So maybe in Beyond, we could get something like this but riskier for Gwen's life, we could get a minute where we think she will die, so immediately after it Miles saves her and they've their "happy ever after"

not sure if anyone's done this before but here we go-
the scene in itsv where kingpin activates the super-collider, there's a screen that shows 5 dimensions opening.
Tumblr media
each dimension is a spider person from the team:
E-616 is Peter B's
E-65 is Gwen's
E-14512 is Peni Parker's
E-8311 is Spider-Ham's (or Peter Porker)
E-90214 is Spider Noire's

One thing I only realized in hindsight that I think is really striking is because...of course. Of course, Miles would never buy into Miguel and the Spider Society's "Canon" philosophy. Not just because he wouldn't want to stand by and just let horrible things happen to people, especially people he knows and loves...
But because the challenge Canon represents is one he's beaten once already.
The conceit of Canon events is essentially a trolley problem. There are two tracks: one set with one person tied to them and one set with several. Someone will die no matter what, but if the trolley is rerouted to the track with only one person on it, then fewer will die. Right? Likewise, if a Police Captain dies, the multiverse is saved.
But in Into The Spiderverse, the same problem is presented to Miles and the visiting Spider-People.
The Spider-People needed to use the collider to go home, or they would all keep glitching until their bodies disintegrated. But, they needed someone to stay behind and shut down the collider after, or it would threaten their various universes and beyond. In other words, one Spider had to strand themselves in Miles' universe to save everyone and everything else. Peter B. reveals to Miles before they set off that it's himself, even though they both know it's a death sentence.
All by themselves, there's nothing else the multi-versal migrants could've done. They had to get as many people out as possible, and they also had to stop the collider. No one could shut down the collider and escape succumbing to glitches.
Except for Miles.
After they leave him, Miles gets the reassurance, love, and support from his father that he'd been needing. This sets off his apotheosis, allows him to join the rest of the Spiders, and be the one to stay while they all go home. And since Miles is from the universe in question, as long as he can beat Kingpin, all the Spiders are safe, the collider gets shut down, and no one has to die.
While the confrontation at the collider isn't, as far as we know, a Canon event, it does present the same challenge: saving both the multiverse and the one person who seemingly has to die to save it.
In other words, Miles already beat this trolley problem once in ITSV. Miles wouldn't buy into the Society's idea that you not only can't fight fate, you must actively enable it, because...
Because he's not only fought fate once before, he's won.
And I believe he can do it again.
