Background: Growing up, I lived with my parents in a three bedroom condo unit on the second floor. There was only three condos in a unit so we had only one apartment above us and one below us. The unit is apart of a few blocks worth of condominiums and it’s like its own little community. All the neighbors know each other and were always around to offer a helping hand. It was an awesome quiet little nook filled with families in what was otherwise a very busy part of a large city. My parents still live there after 25 years since they bought the place when they first immigrated to America.
Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse is just one giant LGBTQ metaphor
All of them feeling like they’re the only one in the world/ at the end, describing how ‘it’s nice to know we’re not alone out there’
Miles running home to his dad after realising he’s got Spider-Powers and immediately asking whether he ‘really hates Spiderman’ aka a metaphor for kids tryna come out to their families
Spidersense is gaydar
Miles struggling w his identity, wanting to do & be one person but feeling forced into something he’s not
Every single one of them being a complete fucking disaster, thereby paralleling all LGBT folk ever
That one scene in Miles’ room where they’re all talking abt how being Spiderman comes with a price, then going thru a list of people they’ve ‘lost’ (My uncle, my dad, my best friend etc)- a metaphor for how being LGBTQ can often lead to losing people that you love bc they can’t accept u for who you are
This is fine and all, but Spider sense is in no way gaydar.
Yes it is Miles Morales said it himself in Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse
