Gwen showing Mikes a picture of her Earth’s Kingpin as compared to Miles’ big one and Miles impulsively saying “Damn, why’s everyone on your Earth so sexy” and then realising what he just said, that would be the best drawing/comic ever.

this would require me knowing what e-65 kingpin looks like but i did my best kind of!!

i have no idea how to draw them yet :)

*spoiler warning*

In ATSV, we are introduced to the fact that the spider that bit Miles Morales in Earth-1610 actually came from Earth-42. And that universe, the one without the spider, or Spider-Man, had Miles become the Prowler.

It's very clear that Miles-42 was meant to be Spider-Man. His father, the captain of police, is killed. According to the canon, he should have had the spider bite, and for that Miles (I'm stretching a bit) I'm guessing that would have been his push to become a vigilante.

But the spider destined to bite him disappeared. And his father still died. And Miles, grieving and hurt and angry that the police did a short memorial and then cast his family aside, learns that his uncle understands. His Uncle Aaron, that he idolized, that helped encourage his art, understands his anger against the system and the police and the world, and offers an avenue he didn't think of to help change that. So Miles-42 becomes the Prowler.

Meanwhile, Miles-1610 already has a Spider-Man. He thinks that he's cool, his dad isn't a fan of him though. The idea of Spider-Man was old news. And when bonding with his uncle doing art, he was bit by the spider from Earth-42, and his destiny changes so viscerally that when he meets Peter as Spider-Man, his aura changes to the colors of Spider-Man. Miles, close to the Prowler, was supposed to become him, because we all know that even without the "Parker curse" Jefferson Davis would die anyway. A black police officer in New York? A police officer who wasn't corrupt, actually trying to be good? You know he would have been shot during a bust or by a gang or saving a kid. And Miles-42 would have been grieving and hurt and angry that the police did a short memorial and then cast his family aside. And he learned that his uncle understood, and he would have become the Prowler.

But that didn't happen. Miles Morales in any universe has the capability to become Spider-Man, to be a hero. But the moment the spider bit Miles-1610, the canon was forced upon him and his uncle died instead. And the moment the spider didn't bite Miles-42, the canon still tried to push him into a destiny that was stolen from him, his father died, and he became so bitter that the red and blue that he was born into, was destined to be, warped and bled and changed into the acid and purple of his new destiny as the Prowler in a world without a Spider-Man.

thinking about how in ITSV, Kingpin refuses to take responsibility for his wife and son’s deaths, how he blames and blames and blames without acknowledging his own accountability, and he pointedly doesn’t care about anyone else’s wellbeing (least of all the alternate versions of his family) while kowtowing to his own desires. thinking about how in ATSV, Miguel takes full responsibility, maybe too much responsibility, for the destruction of his (hijacked) dimension and the loss of his daughter, and his sole drive in the movie is to make sure everyone else is responsible with their multidimensional abilities. thinking about how in both movies, the main antagonist focuses all of their rage and insecurity on the same target: Miles. thinking about mirrors and narrative foils and how you create your own worst enemy when you're careless with other people

I'm watching spiderman in to the spiderverse with the fam and every time they introduce a new "spiderman" my dad asks "whose this then" the characters proceed to explain their origins. Honestly very helpful.

I hate the implication that the Spider-Man in our universe is the goddamn popsicle
