seeing miguel takes that make u say aloud HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IN A STORY WHERE THE PLOT IS CONSTRUCTED TO ILLUSTRATE A CERTAIN POINT/MEANING BRO 😭
#why can’t Miguel recognise the importance of trying and failing to save the police captain#BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER HE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT CHARACTER ARCS#ALL HE SEES ARE REPEATING PATTERNS ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE#HE DOES NOT KNOW HES IN A STORY GUYS COME ON STAY WITH ME HERE 😭#tunes talks spiderverse#also like on the meta level the ENTIRE thing his character is being used to critique/question is what story elements have been used the irl#writers of spiderman to ‘legitimise’ a spiderman. what do those repeating patterns say about us that women die for Spider-Man’s pain#etc etc what does it say about society irl that miles was seen as such a challenge to the spiderman mythos by virtue of being a black kid#you’re having a character In the STORY look at those repeating patterns and ascribe it as fate BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NOT YOU DONT KNOW YOU#ARE FICTIONAL#but what highlighting those patterns asks US the audience to question is why is that suffering necessary for a spiderman story why does it#always have to play out the same#why CANT miles save his father#miguel is only interacting with the concept of canon as a way to understand and conceptualise these pattern events and the damage that can#be done to the dimensions/multiverse when certain parameters are met#he does not KNOW about the meta commentary guys PLEASE 🚬
