I say this as someone who loves orchestral film scores, but
The Leap of Faith scene in Spider-verse is so iconic for several reasons, one of which is the music. If it was an orchestral score, it would have sounded like any other film ever, especially with the recent trend of film scores relentlessly aping each other into increasingly vague homogeneity. ‘What’s Up Danger’ gives the scene something new, something bold, something striking … and something Miles Morales. This is the story of an urban black kid finding his own identity of Spider-Man rather than failing to fill the shoes left before him. This isn’t just a Spider-Man story, it’s a Miles Morales story, with all the aesthetic choices that entails. The aesthetic of the film oozes the concept of black urban youth, from the music to the street art-inspired visuals. Removing these elements would divorce it from what makes this Miles’ story.
Also, ‘What’s Up Danger’ is a banger, so jot that down
sometimes you decide to draw a scene from a fanfic u love.. and get carried away and really commit to it snfknsjskjfns……. sometimes you got to hide together in a greenhouse from the person who killed your parental figure, who just so happens to be your crush’s betrothed… it be that way, yknow
for @mithrilwren‘s fic Your Dust From Mine. its just really good ;_ ; 🌿
