Okay My god I am alive, I think I started this account like last summer? I wanna try and write again, and since I’m obsessed with Miguel O’Hara at the moment, I would love to write more marvel scenarios 😔

Give me some fresh miguel and others of the spiderverse requests guyss😩

pleaseplease please Beyond The Spiderverse, don't go down the same path Arcane did. PLEASE focus on finishing your fucking story instead of churning out garbage in favor of shipping content.

The new spider verse short was amazing

I'm going to explode oh my god I cannot contain the excitement

Eating up these Spiderverse crumbs like they're a whole ass steak.

Okay so I saw atsv recently and while I love reading everyone’s takes on the art styles, I have to bring up the music

I’m a pretty basic music nerd with minimal theory study, but I’ve taken to just playing the soundtrack. (I’m referencing specifically the Metro soundtrack, I prefer songs with lyrics, but I’m positive this will apply to the other soundtrack too, the crew of spider verse are that amazing) And in doing so, I just need to bring up how carefully these songs are constructed??

See, backing track songs need to be subtle. That’s what (in my experience) can make them boring or difficult to compose - how do you make something interesting but able to blend in? But these people, they’ve just - pulled back layers?? And spread them out???? Rarely is there more than about 3 things happening at any one point in the songs, and it means they can pack so much into them. And more than that, it gives them room to give every song a style, a reference and a character to link them to!

Take ‘Hummingbird’, for example: it’s the song that plays when Gwen opens the portal above Miles’ bed. Then compare it to ‘Sunflower’, from the original movie. The artists are completely different, the tone of the movie has changed entirely, but the songs mirror each other!! The way the vocals have a little flick (flick? Reach??) at the end, the bass and trap in the background, heck, even the emotions they convey! Miles, in each instance, is at a turning point, whether he is aware of it or not.

But the composers haven’t just decided to mimic Miles’ song from the original song - they’ve dampened it to fit the tone of the movie. The trap beat and pulses are muted, and the vocals are slightly subdued. And of course, the lyrics are very different. They are both about love, but one is optimistic, and one is resigned. GOD these people!!

And it’s like this with basically every song I’ve come across! While a lot of the characters have less (or nothing) to compare to, the composers have put bits and pieces in to make the characterisations and emotions peak through. Just look at the percussion in ‘Link Up’ (a mixture of the clicking from ‘Self-Love, which kinda was Gwen’s theme in the album, and the percussion from ‘Silk & Cologne’, which I think is supposed to be Miles’ family and their party (?)) which I took as showing Miles’ split between Gwen and the Spiders, and his family.

Just, this soundtrack has som much care and love stuffed into it. I don’t know how much this makes sense (It’s 3 AM), but I didn’t see anyone talking about it and that is a CRIME

Spiderverse theory

(Please note I have no real knowledge of Madame web so please take this with a grain of salt)

So miles is gonna try to save his dad

Miguel wants to stop miles because it’ll break the canon

Even though the spot is causing more problems to the structure of multiverse than miles

Leaving miles with no known allies in his fight probably leading him to question if he’s doing the right thing for trying to save his dad even if leads to the death of the multiverse

So why is it that madame web hasn’t interfered with the spider society’s little quest for keeping the cannon intact even though it doesn’t seem to make sense

And considering that Madame web can see potential futures and the fact miles has seen a potential future I feel like it could be a slight possibility

for miles to have a vision giving miles a chance to meet Madame Web in some capacity to help miles see that miles doesn’t have to have a set path for him

by showing him a path he didn’t take and another version of him did take by showing he switched paths with prowler miles providing Miguel wrong about the canon

Ok I might sound crazy but imagine a spider person with a symbiotie making a deal with bill cipher and they both just argue about who gets to control the body

Spiderverse theory

What if prowler miles was going to be an evil spider-man?

Since both miles’ swap places and both became vigilantes

It could be a possibility that prowler miles was going to be a villain spider-man since spider miles was going to be the successor of his uncle until the spider bit him

This means that spider miles fate changed not only from being the prowler to being spider-man but also from being a villain to being a hero
