as a kid i had one of those “there’s a monster under my bed” moments except real.

every night i would cry about a ghost or something trying to scare me by knocking on my bedroom windows and walls. like, really loudly, every hour or so, every night. only at night. so my dad was like “heh okay kiddo let’s check it out :) ah see? there’s nothing here :)” and left.

until years later he admitted to me that he did in fact hear the unexplainable knocking when he slept in that room one night, and it kept him awake with fear. and suddenly felt awful for not believing little kid me.

so i just realized… in spiderverse, the whole “leap of faith” thing really takes a different meaning when you remember miles didn’t really have a problem taking a leap in the beginning of the movie. he had to psych himself up for it, but he did try. he heard mj’s speech and read some comics, and he jumped off that building to test his mettle. but he failed and crashed to the sidewalk, hard, ended up breaking the goober. that’s what causes him to lose faith in himself and makes him think he “can’t do this” without peter parker: he has tried, and he messed it up.

when you remember that, peter b telling him that being spider-man is “a leap of faith” isn’t a lesson about miles needing to find his courage in the first place, it becomes a lesson about finding the strength to try something again after you’ve failed it already. or in the movie’s words, it becomes a lesson about “getting back up.”

For those worried about the crew having to do a whole job just for one person, flight staff only get paid for time they're in the air; if he'd cancelled, they wouldn't have gotten paid for zip.

So in other words, he gave them an easy day where they can spend most of it on break, and also airplane staff should unionize.

Also the plane likely has to get to NC somehow so you might as well have fun with it
