Dope movie man. Thought the progression of characters was great. Good pace definitely kept me on edge with a lot going on but it was easy to follow and not feel lost. They did a great job of breaking down and explaining the spider verse with the different earths. Excited for the future. :blessed:

Earlier in this thread when the movie came out I asked if Miles was on some Finn shyt in this, because I wasn't about to watch 2 hours of Miles running behind a white bytch and being a lackey in his own movie

I wasn't disappointed:wow:

Miles is clearly in love with Gwen, but not at the cost of everything he needs to accomplish. His mama even told him not to lose himself for no white bytch:wow:

And how does he display this? When he finds out the truth of his situation and how Gwen left him in the dark he said ":hhh:fukk you bytch" my nikka Miles:wow:

Miles was a direct counter to the weak, passive, indecisive, agency lacking black men that are a regular in movies and tv. He has doubts and insecurities because he's human, but he also has confidence that comes with being good at what you do. He has enough agency to reject being pulled in multiple directions against what he felt was the right thing to do. This is what heroes and hero tales are made of:wow:

Now there is a dichotomy, and Miles' decision could be interpreted as selfish and adjacent to villainy, because villians are typically selfish, but Miles himself doesn't see it that way because he believes a life is worth saving. That's some good ass writing right there:wow:
