Ik people are comparing Gwen and Spiderbyte and saying "Spiderbyte is way better for Miles bc she didn't even know him yet helped him out!"
But did all of us just completely ignore the insanely complex and deep dive we had into Gwen's character
She is newly damaged (AGAIN), traumatized, imperfect, and in crisis for nearly the entire film while we know nothing about Spiderbyte besides her helping Miles
She (a teenager) had no one to rely on until the Spider organization took her in bc her dad abandoned her after knowing he is the only person she has left
So ofc she's going to listen to their teachings with little back sass; she sees these people as the ONLY people who are (seemingly) on her side and truly believe they are only looking out for others like Spider heroes should- she is completely isolated from outside figures until talking to Miles again
She is hard coping with trying to have both Miles and her only place of comfort in her life which she figures out, in the most gut wrenching way, is just not possible
By the end she is compelled to follow Miles into his dimension before going into other multiple dimensions to gather the best team to help him and risk all of reality for him
And learns after joining then getting kicked out of the organization that losing her dad did not in fact shape her into being a better hero, but making up with him did
Like these ups and downs between the two are so complex and makes their relationship much more compelling imo
Idk man I get annoyed when people do the comparing girls for romance thing lol
Not saying Spiderbyte is bad at all like she is a great person for throwing away the canon bs bc she sees an innocent person that needs help in front of her
But throwing away everything about Gwen for "which girl is better for Miles" got me ✋️✋️✋️✋️
Plz give her the credit and sympathy she deserves as a misguided and broken teenager just trying to do good despite all the inner turmoil she's facing
