So I rewatched The Spider Within and it had me thinking
Listen, I understand that Spiderverse focuses on Miles and the good/bad/ugly that he faces while on his journey becoming the Spider-Man he wants be.
But if I’m being honest, I would not blame Miles one bit if he wanted to shelve his Spider-Man suit for some time. I think he deserves a moment to recuperate his thoughts. I think he deserves to have the support of Ganke and his parents. I think Miles deserves to prioritize his own wellbeing first and foremost.
Since it’s already in a constant state of change, how cool would it be if the dimension’s style also changed to reflect the decades of punk culture as the years go by?
So it’s safe (for now) to say that Margo’s dimension style is kinda a mystery to us viewers movie wise. Because of that, I thought I’d rewatch Ready Player One and take some things from her comics to see if I could make a base for the virtual realm
•For starters, you can do anything (Go karts, slaying a dragon, dance worlds that are 25/8, Margo’s done it all)
•It’s a world that’s home to countless worlds (Margo keeps neat souvenirs in her inventory for fighting villains in random lands)
•Semi HC within a HC: Margo has her own private map that houses her cozy virtual getaway that also doubles as her workshop. There she creates custom content for suit/helmet ideas, hairstyles, alter aliases for any occasion.
•Based off both RPO and ATSV: Margo’s VR can give her a slight sensor (it’s levels can vary depending on what happens) that lets her know when she comes in physical contact with someone else.
Do you ever think about. About how Jeff looks at Miles and sees Aaron? A creative and mischevious boy in a unkind world? Do you think about how maybe Jeff sees Miles hide his sketchbook and come home with spray paint on his fingers, 30 minutes pass curfew, and he wants to scold him but just can't cus he sees the boy Aaron used to be before they grew distant? You think he saw that shift in Miles after Aaron's death, that heavy look in his son's eyes, the same way his brother had? A bit wary, a bit too anxious - you think he gets scared that Miles' eyes will soon turn cold like Aaron's? You think he saw Miles' eyes in Aaron's when he found him in the dark alleyway, you think when he held his cold body he saw the little boy he grew up with?
You think Aaron in Earth 42 sees Jefferson in Miles G? He sees that overtly serious young man his brother was in the way Miles has his back too straight, his smart mouth and sass resulting in funny comebacks and witty comments just like his brother used to do. You think he sees that same raw urge to help that Jeff had in his nephew's eyes? The sorta urge to help that'll get you killed? You think he sees Jefferson's mural and thinks about how Miles has the same forehead, the same eyes? Do you think he worries about the spark in Miles' eyes blowing out like Jeff's did? You think he sees Jeff as a lil boy again every time Miles comes back from a successful mission as the Prowler - so bright, like he's reaching too close to the sun?
You think Jeff thinks about his son and wants to tell Aaron, "He's so much like you. I don't want that." You think Aaron wants to tell Jeff the same about his nephew? You think deep down they want that more than anything? You think they see the other when they look in the mirror, when they look at Miles? You think they're hoping that Miles could be better than either of them, that he'll be just fine?
So margo and her duplication power, can we talk about it?! The possibilities yall
Distractions
Imagine Margo beating up baddies. One minute she’s there, next she’s over there. She could be anywhere. She could even use her duplicates to deliver a group attack
For laughs
Imagine someone tries to speak to her and they’re just chatting away…come to find out it wasn’t her that whole time
Convenience
Piggybacking off the last point, she cant be in the society, on missions, etc as Spider-byte? No worries, she just uses a decoy to do her tasks
