"What happened to him"
"He applied afrofuturist theory to Miles' character arc in the Sony animated films 'Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse' (2019) and 'Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse' (2023) and had an existential crisis"
Like bro think about it. Miles being the first black Spider-Man on a meta level and putting in all of that work to embody the mantle, only to be told that he is an anomaly. That his existence somewhere in the void between being a bystander in a world with no Peter Parker and the villainous path that was set out for him by "the canon" is unprecedented.
But he's here, and he can't un-exist. He has already made his mark and is the Spider-Man of his universe. He has no direction to go in that doesn't inevitably result in death, so he has to carve out his own future and identity because the system insists that preventable death is necessary in order to perpetuate itself.
That is the blackest shit ever to me.
