Re: What will you never forgive?

[(Anonymous)]

I’m sure I’ll get over it eventually, but I’m currently very hung up on how cruel the MCU ultimately was to Peter Parker. If I felt like they actually understood how stunningly cruel the outcome of his movies was, maybe it wouldn’t bother me so much-- but it kind of feels like they think he was ickle proto-Peter Parker all along and he’s finally become actual Peter Parker now. But like…no? Before No Way Home, MCU’s Peter had already suffered just as much as many other iterations of the character. The fact that he was still full of vitality, enthusiasm, and optimism was not a mark of him being as-yet-undeveloped. It was a mark of his character that he retained those things despite having already suffered death and trauma at every turn.

Deciding to take literally every good thing from him, and then fucking erase his personhood so that he can be more obviously beaten down by life, like some other iterations of the character, does not fucking balance out! All they did was break something beautiful and call that a character arc. Which, again, if I felt like they understood how immensely fucking bleak that is, maybe I could deal with it. But I really don’t think they do.

I feel like me and the Thor fans should get drunk together, because the MCU did a similar thing to him. I mean, at least Thor is a millennia-old god and not a fucking teenager with a heart of gold; that makes the overwhelming bleakness of Thor’s arc feel slightly less cruel to me. But only slightly.

I'm not opposed to dark storytelling, but don't serve me family friendly optimism for five years and then swerve off a cliff and act like it's not the bleakest shit I've ever seen.

Unfortunately "this peter is just miles" has been a complaint for years.

Could you elaborate on this a little? I've seen Into The Spiderverse, but beyond that I know nothing about Miles. Is it that Miles is typically younger, more peppy and optimistic, and less beaten down, and people have complained that MCU Peter is too much like Miles in that sense?
