Spiderverse is proof that we want compelling new stories, not just race/genderbent versions of old ones. Miles Morales is not just “black Peter Parker“, he’s his own unique character with his own personality and background. He should not be reduced to or shoved into the mold of an existing character of a different race.
There they are, the two genders.
only a cis deals in absolutes
all of life and history aligned for that one joke we’re done everyone go home

do the spiderverse kids all have. slightly different meme cultures
miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth
gwen: freaky flexing. but alright
miles:
miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say
ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours
so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes
I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.
Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.”
Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like?Miles: *makes a mistake* This is distressing. Siri play Take on Me.
Gwen: you absolute heathen. It’s ‘This is tragic, google play All Star.’
Peter: whAT the fUCK
THAT’S IT THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE
noir: strange flaunt, but alas
spiderham: that’s unfortunate, jukebox play What’s new Pussycat
