Another thing about the Titan that I enjoyed was how he's so fundamentally different from Belos's christian idea of god. She's bigender. She's super chill and takes the appearance of a 40 something dad when talking to mortals. That loud, disruptive woman who is bi, commits treason, and refuses to fall in line? Yeah He's been watching her and is a huge fan. She loves bread puns and uses his powers to make magic more accesible for everyone. He trusts a 14 year old girl with the power of god to save the world and defeat the white, straight man who came to colonize his world.

Honestly, the Titan is more like the CanonChristian!God than Belos' FanonChristian!God.

Biblically, God is non-binary, loves women who resist abusive authority and commit treason to save the oppressed (Jael, anyone?), wants to be seen as a loving father, chill but also deeply emotional, against colonizers. Belos' idea of God isn't a true Christian one, it's more of a Puritan one. Strict, cold, driven by fear... His idea is simply so inaccurate to what the Christian God is SUPPOSED to be. As the Titan said, Belos is not doing these things for God or for "souls". He's doing all these things so HE can be the hero in a world that scares him. I didn't consider how much the Titan is more similar in his character to the actual biblical God and I think it's...unintentional but kinda sweet. I love them more now.

Wow I can’t wait for Beyond the Spiderverse when Miles returns and introduces his parents to the crew.

“This is Gwen, my girlfriend, her boyfriend Hobie, who is also my boyfriend because monogamy is capitalist construct designed to enforce heteronormativity, and Pavitr, who’s sometimes also our boyfriend when he’s not with his girlfriend.

It isn't even that his girlfriend doesn't know or that he's cheating on her it's just that as you increase Pav's proximity to his girlfriend the rest of his brain falls out and she is the only thing that exists

Everybody shut up!!. Hobie is 16/17 and I will take no argument on that because I find it insanely hilarious that Miguel exclusively beefs with teenagers

I mean it's HILARIOUS yes, but also a part of the movies themes!!! Old VS. Young Tradition VS Innovation, Progress VS Stability, Change VS Stagnation

Like that's the point ! That's why everyone backing Miles from the Spider-Society is a teenager! The only exceptions are the two men he already knew anyway (and one of them is the guy who claimed him as a son-figure).

Of course Hobies 16-17 !! He's a loudmouth stick it to the man punk rock teenager and that's what he's always been !

GUYS. GUYS. Had a thought. Anyone else remember that one post abt someone unexpectedly becoming friends with a punk adjacent(? Honestly cant remember) guy in their school and mentioned how she's starting her own patched jacket(??) and then he got so excited he ripped a patch from his own jacket and gave it to her??

THAT. But make it PunkFlower.

Just Miles in a patched jacket with some homemade ones along with some of Hobie's. Hobie getting excited to help Miles start his collection of patches that he ripped one off of his to start him with and they exchange patches from time to time. He gives advice on the care, repair and how to patch it up and—
