Across the Spiderverse is so unbelievabely UGLY!!!

@LukeAlmighty Yeah, whatever you think about him, Zero wrote a decent long rambling piece that’s also a review of that terrible mobie.

Spider-Man: Across etc. hits all the beats of the queer monomyth, and in fact the dramatic sequence of bigoted rejection, temper tantrum, acceptance plays out several times across several characters. In the climax of the story, Miles Morales defeats his nemesis effortlessly. The only point of friction in the colossally boring fight scene is the cliché where he realizes that he was good enough all along, and he doesn’t have to grow or change in any way. I think that’s a self evidently vile message to teach to anyone, child or adult, but it’s all too typical of queer narcissism. In this movie, being Spider-Man (having super powers) is an allegory for being gay or trans. The children in the movie struggle with the emotional labor of “coming out” to their parents as Spider-Man. This doesn’t make any sense, because unlike being queer, being Spider-Man is not a source of moral opprobrium, but it only serves to highlight the allegorical nature of the conundrum.

Wait... The bad guy's motivation is literally: Fuck you man!!!

That's so incredibly lame.

@LukeAlmighty Depends which bad guy, the "evil" spider-man's primary sin is.... telling the protagonist "No".

@grey I meant the dalmatine guy

@grey
I am still at 1:15

@LukeAlmighty everything about the movie is lame, i do regret that i wasted my scene points on seeing it for free

@grey
Also, this joke is getting quite old

@LukeAlmighty i hate multiverse fiction with a passion

@grey
I don't, because I don't believe it's broken on principle...

But noone had done it right yet.

@LukeAlmighty I do, because it's metaphysical nonsense, and if you internalize the ideas of whatever garbage multiverse rules you settle on, you become less able to reason. There's no "multiverse" scenario that makes any kind of actual sense in how it would exist in reality, all of them gloss over huge physical and metaphysical problems to have their stupid fun. Jay has done a bunch of different streams and videos that touch on the metaphysical underlying principals of these media creations.

@grey @LukeAlmighty Honestly, what annoys me the most is that they don't even get the concept of the multiverse right, they just use it as an excuse to make all of their fanfiction OC's "real." Their idea of a multiverse is that every human decision creates an entire new universe, it's just steeped in layers of gag-inducing egotism.

@MeBigbrain @LukeAlmighty multiverse fiction is like time travel fiction, it's metaphysical nonsense, there is no "true" version of it to compare your fiction against, so the best they do is come up with some bullshit rules for themselves (and then proceed to violate them when they become inconvenient).

@grey @LukeAlmighty Such fiction, like all "hard" science fiction, should only be written by obsessive autists who will always abide by their set rules no matter how inconvenient they become.
