Why I cried through all of Spider-verse

So I just got done watching Spider-Man: into the spider-verse and in all honesty I cried through the whole movie.

But why did I cry through it you might ask?

I cried because as a Latina I haven’t ever had a character I felt as though I could relate to the most. I never saw a Disney princess that represented me. I remember when the Emporors New Groove came out and I was so excited to go to the movies and see a Disney character that had similar heritage to me. But up until I finished watching Into the Spider Verse I never had a connection with a superhero.

Seeing the beautiful representation of Black and Puerto Rica culture made me cry like a baby. I saw things that I could relate to myself coming from a Latinx background (I’m Mexican) and hear music that I listen to on a regular basis.

At the end of the movie when Miles says “anyone could wear the mask” it hit me like a ton of bricks once again because that’s exactly what this movie showed. It broke down so many walls in the film industry and I am finally able to look and see a superhero that I grew up watching as 3 different Peter Parker’s and now to Miles and the rest of the spider people in the movie. It just warmed something in me that past films that tried to do justice to the Latinx heritage hadn’t done for me.

That’s the end of my soapbox rant thank you for listening
