I have to say I really appreciate how Into the Spider-Verse makes no effort whatsoever to give Dr. Octavius any kind of pathos. Superhero media so often goes out of its way to establish that the main villain’s female sidekick – should one be present – has Suffered Terribly and how it’s totally Not Her Fault that she’s ended up the way she is, or at least give her a humanising moment of empathy with the protagonist, but nope. She’s just a big amoral jerk and no one likes her.
What I’m saying is that Olivia Octavius is the kind of mad scientist who would unironically respond to a hero’s horrified “what in God’s name?” by exclaiming “God had nothing to do with it!”, and I respect that.
You’re wrong, OP; I like her.
She KNOWS if Kingpin succeeds, his family will die a horrific death and SAys NOTHing.
I LOVE her.
If anything She’s the one using kingpin. Promising reunion she knows for a fact will end more painfully than the thanos snap all so she can do science and rip the multiverse apart
