Miles Morales’ fuck you speech to Miguel had so many deeper layers because one of the storyline is Miles’ parents are basically dealing with the fact that their son is growing up and how he wants to do this awesome things but the movie doesn’t hide away from the fact that growing up Afro Latino and wanting to do amazing things isn’t easy, especially when Miles’ Mom voiced her concern about how she needs miles to protect himself because black and brown people are always told they don’t belong and all that so when Miles told Miguel that he wasn’t going to do his plan and he is Spiderman despite what Miguel says, it is a beautiful metaphor of how black and brown people don’t NEED to belong in a space that don’t want them, They don’t need to listen to the big guy up top because they belong whatever the fuck they want to be at and it is beautiful that Miles stands up to Miguel, the head guy in charge, because it is saying that Black and Brown people have to stand up for themselves against the head guy in charge, especially if they are in your way
And to my black ass, that’s *chefs kiss*
