idk if this has been said already but i’ve recently rewatched atsv for like the 4th time and tbh….

i really don’t think earth 42 miles would’ve gone down a much different path if he had been bitten like he was supposed to.

like let’s think abt it, even with the technological advancements he has as the prowler, he’s not necessarily fighting crime as it is. like he already has similar abilities as a spider person ( swinging w his grapplers n shit ), but still does what he does.

let’s also consider how his dad hasn’t been around for years, so even w spider powers, would he really have drifted that far from becoming the prowler??? like on earth 1610, w jeff being a cop, i think that helps to instill a stronger sense of heroism in miles. along with the fact that there was a spiderman before miles, so he had more heroic figures to look up to ( also drawing him further from his uncle’s influence ). but without his dad or peter in earth 42, his uncle has a much stronger influence on him, and we all know his uncle isn’t known for being heroic.

this is not to say that he’d become a villain or anything, because as we know, the prowler on earth 42 is not a villain. i just think he’d still do similar things if he had gotten bit, but w spider powers lol !!

Nicky gets on the phone to call Eden’s and speak with Roland. Kevin can hear him pouring on the charm and explaining away what happened with the silver tongue that had his and Erik’s company getting million dollar marketing deals. 

Kevin doesn’t quite know what to do. Initially he thought about making food but Andrew had never been a fan of his cooking.

He watches as Aaron goes to their fridge, grabs a beer, and sits on the couch grabbing a GameCube controller to load up a game.

for some reason i find Nandor, having died probably somewhere in his late 30s/early 40s, being constantly in a state of mid-life crises, deeply hilarious

So confused where fandom/fic writers got this interpretation that Miles does stupid shit that doesn’t make sense or barely works out in the end or puts his friends in unnecessary danger all the time. Like in both movies the others simply underestimate him and don’t understand what Miles is doing cause he thinks like Miles, not like your everyday Spiderman. He uses his Venom Strike to throw Kingpin in the ITSV movie and literally saves Gwen and Peter because they went into battle less than ready. Then had the entire plan to lure the Spiders in ATSV, yet I keep seeing him written like he doesn’t think or gets his friends in trouble even when he understands the danger. Most of the time his different thinking has helped or led people to fix personal issues.

The first movie alone pretty much sets in stone that the exact opposite of what he wants is others to get hurt by his actions, inactions or the actions of others and trying to live up to that belief and the expectations it carries. Across the Spider-verse hammers it home with how he constantly tries to save people because that’s what he should do, rather than listen to some theory that is clearly not absolute at best and outright wrong at worst. Every fic has him being the one to cause issues and not fix them when his planning and actions literally helped save Gayatri and her father.  (c’mon we know the glitching was the spot)

Yeah, I get making him stubborn or strong willed cause he doesn’t listen all the time but usually it’s for a good and valid reason, if he listened every time he was told not to, guess how many of our beloved characters would be dead?

I need Miles G. to be just as much as a nerd as 1610 Miles in BTSV. Like his initial reaction at the end of ATSV was a fake out. He immediately starts geeking out over Miles. Questioning what could possibly be going on. Doppelganger? Secret Twin? The multiverse is real? He sees Miles trying to use his electricity and is like, YOU HAVE ELECTRICITY. You have now triggered an info dump and now he wants to study Miles under a microscope. The boy is 15. Why does he gotta be tough? Why not nerdy? Just because he's the Prowler? Or is there some other reason why he was automatically perceived as a thug?

that post going around asking what people would do if they won the lottery has totally bummed me out because mine is literally like, “i’d rent an apartment in los angeles that has wood floors and an oven and isn’t a shithole…” which is already like too embarrassing to even say in the tags of the post in front of god and the op and everybody, but then it’s, “…and then maybe go to college,” so it’s like, ok, well now i just have to sit with that thought, uncomfortably, forever

Ohhhh sorry, misunderstood you.

*They looked contemplative*

You know, 4242 is the Rudboys' number. I actually called them earlier, to see if you could stay with them. Steven is uh...buddies with Francis 2, let's say that. It's a bit funny.

42 put its still clawed hand under its head and sounded like it was...laughing? If it was, then 42's quite an emotional guy if one somehow knew it better.

( Why...Why am I not surprised to hear that? )

After 42 calmed down a little and the doorman mentioned the Rudboys, it continued:
