granted this is just me applying some broad strokes of the 90s backstory to miguel's movie iteration and this may just end up unapplicable but idk. i honestly think there's something really interesting to be mined from the entire thing with gabriella not just being about desiring a fantasy of a happy family life, but also being an opportunity to genuinely grapple with miguel's relationship w fatherhood, both regarding himself and the fathers in his life. something something never being able to envision yourself as a father or perhaps not even considering that it could be something you wanted until you saw a mirror of yourself do it and be so happy with that in his life.

#honestly for me even the desire for a happy family life gains its most interesting dimension if understood in conjunction with the family #dynamic miguel GREW UP IN. i am just an insane person yes but its one of the big reasons i really want some allusion to his childhood when #btsv touches on his past (lets be real 90% sure they will considering how much it's teased and the visuals invite speculation on it)#also just lmao. parallel to peter not knowing he wanted kids - not thinking he COULD do that - until he encountered miles. until he had an #opportunity to see that yeah. this isnt something you intrinsically fuck up.#god. one day i will shut up about this dude #tunes talks spiderverse #gabriella being moreso about being a fantasy of a happy family life still works but idk. i like the idea more of some added dimensions on #top of that.
