sooooooouuuuuu...Spider Ren AU? c: Tell us more about whats going through your mind, pleae? c:<
sooooouuu... there's not a lot going through my mind. butter-brained here. LOL.
edit- 'not a lot':
i like to think spider-ren would retain most of kylo ren's story with a few caveats. there being no (and being no need for) jedi/sith/knight equivalents. there would be the inspideying incident, though i have a soup of vague ideas about how that happens. is he bit by a radioactive spider? maybe. but how does that spider get there? he's obviously not going to visit an entomologist's lab on a school trip. it would have to happen to him while he was doing something he was not supposed to be doing, or it'd have to be unleashed on him. maybe snoke is a bond-style villain who keeps radioactive aminals as pets. he hangs out in a gold robe in his tiger king mansion.
ren's more vigilante at first. he'd probably be a lot like (year one) batman. in his head he's the hero but his idea of justice falls outside the law. and unlike batman (the ones who make sense, not all-star batman or batfleck (bless him)) is brutal. the death of his father, which he causes either directly or indirectly, idk, would be the event that leads him to change his approach. his uncle ben moment, but instead of 'with great power comes...' it's 'don't ever let the other guy shoot first.' (han, dying: 'at least the kid's light on his feet.')
*as for why he chooses to punish 'bad people...' that's another mysterious soup. maybe he goes to uncle luke (living and well) because he can't approach his parents about the white stuff and the fur—IT ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK—and luke convinces him to do something meaningful with his new abilities. this could be the 'with great power...' moment. but then luke lives and becomes spider-ren's secret familial compatriot. (leia: 'you knew about this and you ENCOURAGED IT?? my son's getting shot at by a police militia with LASER BEAMS.')
the setting? new york. futuristic new york, a coruscanti new york. very batman beyond, very johnny mnemonic. no flying cars but sky-high interstates. very fun to swing around.
there are definitely lizard people in spider-ren's new york (possibly the real one too). one of them might be curt connors.
