it would have actually been such a power move to just cast colin farrell as grindelwald because it would make dumbledore’s failings so much more relatable. the rest of the characters are questioning how he could be so shortsighted and blinded and all Dumbledore can offer is “I was in love” and the entire audience is just
God but like, how cool is it that for some kids, *Miles Morales* is going to be their Spider-Man ???
Like, kids who might have been too young to see the MCU stuff yet will go see their first Spider-Man movie and who’s the main character???? Someone who isn’t white???? From the state of movies these days it’s surprising to discover that there are other non-white superheros out there who aren’t from Wakanda (forever) or played by Scarlett Johansson,,, but now damn it there’s a whole FILM FRANCHISE centered around this adorable Afro-Latino boy and ugh the world isn’t as dark as we thought.
For real tho, I’m so glad that Miles is making his big screen debut in a children’s movie. Like representation is important for everyone but we gotta prioritize the kiddos y’all, and while Spiderverse is 100% perfect for all ages it’s accessible for the little ones in a way that live-action superhero films sometimes aren’t. Like, I got my nephew every BP toy I could get my hands on and he wenr crazy, but I didn’t take him to the actual movie seeing how he’s is seven and still scared of the animated penguins in Mary Poppins.
But now???? I brought my nephew when I was invited to an early screening of Spiderverse and i shat you not he freaked when he saw that Spider-Man got an Afro too (sidenote: he’s also suddenly a vegetarian because he doesn’t want to accidentally eat Spider-Ham but that’s another story).
AnywaY, everyone should go see Spiderverse when it’s in wide release it’s fun for all ages
My friend told me his younger sister came back from Spider-Man: Homecoming thoroughly unimpressed and wondering why Spider-Man was white
Dear nerds, don’t even mention T/ony St/ark’s name when discussing Into The Spider-Verse. Don’t ignore Miles in favor of Middle-Aged Peter Parker. When y’all make your lil headcanons don’t insert random white men from other franchises and say it’s cute. I did not work this damn hard and wait this damn long for the MAIN FUCKING CHARACTER to get sidelined in his own vehicle, everyone who writes this shit owes me $500 per syllable
love galore
