Everyone quickly come together in a prayer circle. They will read the 2099 (1992) comics in the time between the next movie in 2026(?) and they will retroactively fix all present issues in BTSV. They will understand Miguel O’Hara as the little loser he is. They will add nuance and depth to this character and understand the similarities between him and Miles. They will not have his fangs and claws just be parts of his suit.

comic books hate abuse survivors so so so badly

more often than not when abuse survivors are portrayed in comic book movies, they become the abusers. and sure, the way you were treated as a child directly impacts who you are as an adult. and sometimes you become the reflection of the person who hurt you the most. but if that isn’t conveyed in anyway that is anything less than an offensive stereotype, it holds no weight.

as an example, miguel o’hara was abused as a child. his father was physically and verbally abusive. and through those years, his mother did her own share of damage. he is someone who survived childhood abuse. so, to have him so readily throw a filing cabinet/can/whatever that was at a CHILD is a bad look. miguel is more than aware of his anger issues in the comics, and tries to reel in his jump reactions.

that’s not the case with his movie counterpart. and worse yet, we see none of the reasons for why he acts this way. it could be compelling in a, no, the monster is not the man who came out of the genetic gene destroyer thing half-spider, but the monster is the man who would harm a child. THAT is an interesting story, THAT is something i want to watch.
