Spider-Noir Spoilers ahead
NICHOLAS FUCKING CAGE??????
Like I know women like a man shrouded in mystery, but not if that man is Nicholas Cage!! COME ON!!! YOU COULD DO SO MUVH BETTER THAN THAT!!!! She had a man too. A beautiful man. Another man shrouded in mystery, but instead of trying to work it out with him she starts kissing NICHOLAS CAGE???? GIRL!!!!! HE IS NOT THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE!! He's literally just a guy!! HIT. HIM. WITH. YOUR. CAR!!!!
In all honesty, I should have expected this. It's not a marvel identity if the guy doesn't start kissing someone. Whether it's a woman he should actually like or a woman with a troubled man who needs her.
I'm not blaming Cat. I'm blaming Ben. He should have known that this is not what she needs right now and said no.
Do I get that they are two consenting adults? Yes. Am I infantalizing Cat? No. Do I wish I could get one fucking piece of media where the guy doesn't have a romantic subplot? Absolutely. Honestly, it's not even healthy. If Flint came back into her life, she would probably leave Ben for him. He's the far superior option too.
I need Flint to survive. It is necessary for my sanity.
Fuck the Femme Fatale archetype. I love it, but not in this scenario. Please stop, Cat.
The only reason Flint went back to Silvermane was because he thought Cat had moved on. If he had talked to her, which I understand his mental state as a veteran doesn't really allow him to do that, he would have been able to work it out with her. But no. She had to prove him right.
I need Flint to survive this and if you reply to this or repost with spoilers I will defenestrare you.
