So I'm sure we can all agree one of if not the biggest comic book tropes besides characters dying and coming back to life has to be trauma in their backstories. And trauma within the super-newies basically like a starter pack for heroism and villainy. I mean some of these are super recognizable for example you have Batman and his parents or Superman leaving his exploding world of Krypton as a baby or you have even it gets really dark with Magneto growing up as a holocaust survivor in World War II. And then you have like the Punisher losing his family and basically turning to a life of well punishing. But you get the point though there are more than enough characters with tragic backgrounds and comics that define who they are and you know that's 100% fine. I mean trust me I'm not trying to change Batman's backstory. So across the spider verses made me ask like a burning question or at least a lot of them but one specifically being do superheroes need deep trauma to be great and I don't think so or at least for the most part. Now see I have no issues with the trope inherently but what I'm trying to get out with this movie I guess would be is it always necessary and where that's where the movie comes in hand basically. So we get up into a certain point in these movies you know and Miles only faced the loss of his uncle heir and aka the prouller was basically a villain and a mentor to Miles and then you have Peter Parker of this universe who is died by the hands of the king pin into the spider-race the previous movie before this one and it's traumatizing as it sounds I wouldn't say it really defined his characters actions overall it wasn't his driving fact care like his vengeance if you will and Hobie Brown actually states that pretty well himself within the movie. Why do you want to be part of this look? Say get up watch your own watch but you got a nice out there my parents they're fine this one was best for me that's pretty shame why? because you're already for everybody else. Further progressing into this part of the movie you know we finally meet Miguel O'Hara again that is we see him in the beginning when he's fighting vulture and trying to suck the blood out of him like Renfield style hold up hold up Ren who wrote this script? So back on track the blue pamper basically lowers down from his station broding like he just got out of a screen of the Batman 2022 and he's met with Miles and the crew with Gwen and Hobie basically and then he explains to Miles that essentially Spider-Man operate on a different wavelength in the multiverse they're not on the same branch that everybody else is but they're more of like a web of life in destiny and therefore we get to a point where it's shown that each Spider-Man exists because of their own personal past traumas showing us our uncle bends and our Peter from earth 65 uncle Aaron and both iterations of Toby McGuire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man so with Miles realizing that Gwen's dad will also die by becoming captain of the police force he's like listen you know my dad he's about to become captain and is anything gonna happen to him and then McGell is like listen two days from now your father's gonna die by the hands of the spot and then you're gonna defeat the spot and as McGell is telling Miles this he's getting surrounded by the Spider Society then we have them going back and forth with Miles being like you know I can go back and save them but then McGell is like nah I can't let you do that kid so Miles is like no I'm I'm gonna do my own thing and then you know boom Miles is stuck in a shield contraption by 2099 and they argue outside about a situation in front of him calling them kids do so that's where you know my manhobe comes and then he's a W man he reminds Miles about the electricity and absorbing it through your palms instead of your fingertips and then you know we have a giant massive scene that abrupts where he escapes and he's running throughout the Spider Society and basically trying to get out of there but you know this just kind of shows me that Miles very well can have both you know he doesn't have to have a whole Spider Society of people who have lost their loved ones you know respectfully telling him what makes a Spider Man in the universe even with knowing the potential consequences you know he's still willing to try whatever is necessary to save the ones that are close to him so he's challenging the odds here so going through all that chase and stuff from the Spider Society he finally makes it to the universe that he thinks is his own but turns out to be where the Spider was originally from that bit him and stuff basically goes down hill from there we see that prowler in this universe is actually Miles because he didn't have that Spider-Biton and it just gets spun into a hole ordeal of things so I think this is where the movie you know is gonna head into with Beyond the Spider-Verse you know it could be a great place of not only giving this away diverse Spider-Man in the bigger media still but it also breaks us away from that necessity of making a character good because of their trauma in their past now this doesn't mean you have to give newer characters a squeaky clean origin story but at the same time you don't have to make it so dark to the sense of unrelated ability with viewers and comic book readers you know I think Miles works for many reasons including the fact that you know he still has both of his parents just because of the fact doesn't mean he can't struggle because we clearly see that he does in the movie he struggles with being accepted and not being able to fully be understood by his parents along with the responsibility of being a much younger and essentially a lone version of Spider-Man in his universe and that's why I think Miles can open up a new way for relatable comic book characters for our foreseeable future you know breaking this constant trope of traumatic backstories so with you know with that out of the way I hope you guys like this short video you know I decided to mock it up I didn't want to break down the entire movie or go too heavy into something so I just picked one of the moments that really stuck out with me in this movie after the fact and you know I hope you guys liked it and tell me what you guys think in the comments below you know let me know your opinions on this so I'll see you in the next one and peace out hold up one second doesn't Miles' mom and his universe die in the comics though
