I think a lot about how Miguel's personal friends and family kept throwing him their opinions on SpiderMan either telling him that Miguel would never be as good person as Spidey (his mom) or that Spiderman was an asshole (his ex girlfriend) or falling in love with him (his brothers girlfriend)
Meanwhile he's just staring into the camera, beaten up, tired, depressed and wanting to kill himself like "uh-hm. That's such an interesting conversation"
miguel "shut the fuck up" o'hara
miguel o’hara in spider man: 2099 (1992):
People often write Miguel as an old man not understanding teenage slang, but the reality he's a 28 year old hanging out with bunch of people that are 100 year older than him and he's like
"wait what? Oh is this that old ass 2000s thing again lol"
does anyone remember that marvel comics moment when Spiderman (I think 616 Peter) was talking to nick fury and he’s like “yeah my universe is different. in my universe nick fury is…….. not black.” and nick fury was like “my condolences”
iconic
i feel like this was basically how the first weeks of them working together went before miguels universe exploded
*I prefer the spinnerets on the inside of the arm thats why they're there
also isn't it ridiculously insensitive to call the spider society a cult. like cults are things Real People have gone through. and to be someone who has never experienced this, only knows cults from random tumblr posts, going all "This organization is a cult actually and these teenagers got groomed into it" like can you not hear yourself. if i were a cult survivor i'd be pissed, personally
That, and like... no one groomed teenagers into it. Like Miguel did NOT want Gwen and Miles involved but Gwen- who had isolated herself from her friends- felt like she had no where else to go and begged to be let in. This is why she freaks out when they kick her out, not because they are trying to manipulate her.
YES THANK YOU. people see miles and gwen and refuse to see them as flawed and complex, capable of making their own bad decisions of their own free will. it's always someone else's fault, somebody being too harsh on them or manipulating them.
yes, gwen and miles are teenagers, their behavior is largely influenced by the adults surrounding them. but to say they cannot make bad choices and experience the repercussions of them is depriving them of autonomy. they are not real teenagers being victimized, they are characters in a movie who make choices and have to deal with the consequences.
gwen got kicked out of the spider society because she didn't do her job correctly. she was not kicked out of a cult for disobeying, she was fired from her job because she messed up so badly. and to ignore that, to say she was a victim of miguel's manipulation, is a disservice to the nuance of the writing of this movie
wowww you want to fuck the latino guy from the latest movie or tv show? wow you want pedro pascal to be your daddy? whats the capital of belice. whos the current president of Ecuador. point to Honduras on a map

lol sorry if y’all’re sick of my 2099 soapboxing. anyways.
while i understand where the reading of “miguel is a morally bankrupt evil scientist and his spider-man is just a violent shitheel” comes from, i just… really can’t ever get behind it, based on what we see in the text of SM2099 v1 (1992-1996) itself.
