super very really important spider-woman duties involve completing the national dex
this drawing is a year old but i wanted to post it. im working on a remake with atsv peni _φ(･_･
Imagine dating Gollum and you have to re-engineer your house to have pro-Gollum architecture. Give him vines to climb on, and a complex internal plexus designed for his enrichment. He leaves you one week later because he got distracted and forgot the way home
noticed each spidey kinda has a unique way of swinging around
gwen is very graceful, like a ballerina, she even lands on point in the beginning. i think ballerina is a part of her backstory maybe? not very fluent in those
miles looks kind of loose in comparison, not as much like he has a 'form' for when hes swinging around, especially when he does that thing where he just hangs with one arm which usually leads to him spinning as he goes
pavitr was very playful with how he swung around, which fits his character methinks. i liked the little upside-down sit he did
dont think hobs actually swung anywhere
miguel didn't even swing, just pulled himself into a ground-pound wherever he wanted to go
jess didn't really swing herself either, she drove her motorcycle and mostly used her webs to get her motorcycle to whatever surface she wanted to drive on
peter didn't do much swinging this movie, but he used his maneuverability very naturally, like when he drops down to catch mayday or goes to stand with miguel it looks and feels like a normal way for him to move which other characters probably wouldn't pull off as well (maybe its the robe)
Gwen's backstory in the comics doesn't actually involve ballerina in any way, but Into The Spider-Verse seems to imply it, between her costume including ballerina shoes and her saying "can you swing and flip with the grace of a trained dancer" to miles. comics gwen doesn't really have any sort of background like that to inform her movements, so i think the movie added this to give her visual flair and bring something unique to her style for this very reason.
Across The Spider-Verse ditches the ballerina shoes in favor of the chuck taylors she got from hobie, and we get more of her backstory pulled pretty closely from the comics, which as such doesn't include anything about ballerina since that wasn't in the comics they were pulling from.
So the ballerina thing is in a bit of a weird limbo, as it's still kind of implied by stuff in ITSV but ATSV doesn't really leave a lot of room for it to be something she does, at least not at the time we see her in the movie. Perhaps it's something she did before the time of the movie, and quit at some point, similar to how we see her quit the band in the movie? Maybe Beyond the Spider-Verse will clarify somehow? Who knows
