mamapluto: ruffboijuliaburnsides: I love love love LOVE how Miles has his own moments of echoing his universe’s Peter once he comes into himself. Not only is there this moment which is amazing, but when he’s in the collider at the end and does that hella cool move grabbing onto the rotating bits to get up onto the ceiling to get the goober plugged in? It’s more or less the same route that Peter took when he was trying to plug in the goober at the start. “Did we teach him that?” “I didn’t teach him that. And you definitely didn’t teach him that.” No, they didn’t. But a spider-man did. And the little ways that Miles’s way of being Spider-Man reflect back his own versions of the Spider-Man he saw die is just amazing to me. He’s continuing a legacy. Not a general spider-person legacy. Not Peter B’s legacy. But his Spider-Man’s legacy. Peter died but he was not completely absent from the film, and he maybe couldn’t actually get with Miles and actively show him the ropes, but between everything Miles could witness, and what he’d done and prepared for that Miles could take advantage of, the legacy he left through May that could be passed to Miles, he still helped shape Miles. Not the way he would’ve preferred, but not completely absent either. And damn I love that. I really like how they’re doing the same thing here, but in their own way. Peter doesn’t waste any energy anywhere, and has the effortlessness of someone who has done this for years. He trusts his body to do exactly what he wants. Then you have Miles–he’s smaller, leaner, and still growing. He doesn’t yet have the grace part down yet, since lbr, even with super powers knobbly kneed teenagers tend to be too gangly for that. But if you watch, you can practically see that instead of letting his body do whatever, he’s actually making a bunch of micro decisions. Peter is focused on his objective, and is letting his body go on autopilot. Miles is making a thousand decisions a second, and is actively making choices to get there as fast as he can. It means he might start jumping over the car a little later, but he uses momentum and strength to actively propel himself forward. His cartoon panel is less a style switch and more a chance to show the iconic pose. Even just the way their hands touch the car– Peter doesn’t waste a single movement, and just lets his body do what it’s been trained to do best. Miles slams it down on the hood, thrusting himself higher than necessary and using that to give himself the extra momentum to really push off of the next car Idk man, it’s subtle, but I really love how this film doesn’t have every character move the same way, even with the same powers (don’t even get me started on Gwen’s style, yesssss). -- source link
