Miles shouldn't be worried about how his parents are gonna react when he reveals his identity. They love him, we know this.
He should be worried about how his dad will react when he realizes his son full on sassed him in broad fuckin daylight and got away with it for days
“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” “You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?
NIMONA (2023), based on the comic by ND Stevenson, who came out as transgender in 2022
no but really let’s talk about the dynamic between the older gen spideys vs young gen spideys for a moment, because it’s really got me fucked up.
miguel and all the older gen spideys seem so entirely accepting of all these “canon compliant” rules, because those rules absolutely validate the trauma that every one of them has gone through. the idea of “oh our pain had a reason, oh our heartbreak was for something after all” is a VERY powerful notion that—understandably—they welcome with open arms because they have already lived it.
but the younger gen spideys…. yes, most of them have bought into miguel’s logic for most of the movie, because of course you’re going to listen to the 1,000,000 adults all telling you the same thing when you’re fucking fifteen and desperate for any semblance of mentorship. and it sure does make a lot more sense when you yourself have also experienced a similar trauma to all the others.
but that’s exactly it, isn’t it? they’ve all experienced the same trauma—
that miles and pav have not.
so, no. actually, fuck your rules. and really, fuck your demands that i must suffer what you suffered just because you cannot accept me without it. and good on miles for saying it—good for all of the spideys who realized he was right—realized he was asking all the right questions instead of drawing all the wrong conclusions.
(yet. for all my anger i feel towards the older gen for pressuring him in that way….i also understand why they cling so desperately to these stupid “canon” rules. because, if miles can manage to resist it—if he or gwen or pav can escape what they never could—then suddenly, they have to ask the question of:
“what didn’t i do right?”
and
“was all that pain really for nothing?”
and accepting your life after having to ask those questions instantly becomes much more difficult.)
you can tell the culture has changed bc everyone in the across the spiderverse tag is freaking out about miguel o'hara (rightfully) but you know that if this movie came out in 2013 the spot would be the new tumblr sexyman instantly

If you love Danny Phantom and haven’t seen Astroboy 2009, please do. There are so many angst parallels.
The protagonist, Toby, dies early in the movie and his grieving father, Dr. Tenma, creates an android clone and implants the kid’s memories into him. Robot Toby learns his true nature within hours after being able to overhear a robot conversation. His father rejects him for not being like Toby (which is a whole other post’s worth of content), and after a scuffle with the military, newly robot Toby falls to earth (Metro City is a floating city) in the heaps of discarded robots.
He has to deal with the non-human angst while still perceiving himself as human, and reconciling his new identity as a robot. Robots immediately recognize him as a robot, and he struggles to differentiate himself but also readily admits what he is to fellow robots.
He ends up pretending to be human, always worried for his safety if he gets discovered for what he is.
So if you love the “ghost recognize Danny as a baby ghost and adopt him” headcanon, there are elements of that here. Love “Danny pretending to be human,” you got that. Secret identity angst? Check. Overpowered abilities angst? Check. Parent angst? Check.
There are so many robot/ghost parallels to the kind of angst we love in the phandom, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Dude, I really relate to this character.
Which one? The non-human who struggles to fit in with humans or the human character who feels less than human for some reason?
Yeah, that one.
What are you going to do with that information?
Oh I’m gonna make it my entire personality for the rest of my life.
