Remember that moment in ITSV, when Miles first meets his world’s Spider-Man and their spider senses do the thing?
The background behind Peter is as we’d expect; the classic red and blue.
But at first Miles’ background is green and purple, two colors he’s never associated with at all throughout the movie. As the moment goes on, it shifts to match Peter’s.
We are literally watching Miles’ fate change and the anomaly happen.
It’s well established that the spider that bit him was not supposed to even be in that universe, meaning our Miles was supposed to be something else before it happened.
This isn’t true for ITSV, but in every other version of Spider-Man, the main color scheme for the Prowler is green and purple.
Our Miles was supposed to become the next Prowler in his world. And the only reason he’s not, is because of the original Prowler.Miles switched his fate with Earth-42 Miles.
Anyways obviously the only correct way to have Deadpool in the spiderverse is if there’s just one Deadpool. And he keeps ending up in different universes causing shenanigans but it’s always the same Deadpool. He switches art styles/appearance depending on universe. The go-home machine can’t figure out if he even has a home universe. (Believe me Miguel has tried.) He hits on most age-appropriate spideys and then hits on their MJs too. Villains in most universes seem to inexplicably know him, or at least know of him. He keeps getting kicked out of HQ. He’s 100% aware that all this logic only works because it’s an epic crossover and the writers wanted it that way.
when I was a kid my best friend and I were really enamored by the very exotic concept of quicksand so every summer we used to go down to the woods near the lakeshore and play in a patch of mud that would let us sink in it up to our chests and pretend that it was quicksand. it was extremely dense and very hard to move through or get out of and we always had to crawl out on our bellies, completely exhausted and coated in mud up to our necks. lost several shoes and one pair of pants that way.
us, playing in quicksand: “haha! let’s pretend this is quicksand!”

honestly it just wasn’t… that big of a deal?
like we’d sink in and get stuck, but that was it. we didn’t sink any further than our ribs. when people die in quicksand it’s because tides or floods sweep through before they can get unstuck, or because they exhaust themselves in the cold or the heat and die of exposure—not because they sink under. we just… didn’t realize it was quicksand because it didn’t suck us down like in the movies.
I’ve had other encounters with quicksand and none were particularly notable—the most actively dangerous was several years ago while hunting for geoducks on the tidal flats, when my crush got mired in a patch of quicksand. it ended up being a pretty shallow patch so she didn’t sink any deeper than her knees and was able to get out before the tide came back in. but it could have been bad!
our other childhood games included trying to reenact that scene from the old Heidi movie where she’s hanging from the edge of a cliff by a root, and playing with a rapier
I’m going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor’s strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we’ve been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.
The effects of the writer’s strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren’t really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor’s strike is going to be immediate and we’re going to get a lot more propaganda of “these people are overpaid to begin with.”
Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people’s rights to live.
Support unions, support the strikes.
REMEMBER!!!!! The actor’s strike is NOT about the ten or so A-list actors whose names you can rattle off off-hand, this is about everybody else, the people you see on tv shows and movies, who you recognize as often being in the productions you love playing this or that bit character but you have no idea what their actual name is. The guest stars, the background actors (aka ‘extras’), and everybody in between. A-list actors can name their own price- this isn’t about them. But SAG-AFTRA is *BIGGER* than those people! And this is about them and protecting their incomes and rights.
As this second strike joins the first, remember that!!!
It’s about all the “hey, it’s that guy"s.
With that said, it’s GOOD that A-listers are also walking off! That creates more pressure! There are always ten, a hundred, a thousand more extras. There’s only one Chris Evans and if he walks, there’s no replacing him. Those folks striking is GOOD for the smaller actors.
They know it, too. Right before this one, literally RIGHT before it, I read a post where Matt Damon said for him it’s about the minimum income requirement to get health insurance, and how most actors only cross that threshold because of residuals. He straight-up called it “a life or death matter for some people.” He knows he’s not “some people,” but he’s also aware “some people” are out there and need their voices amplified.
Found this reddit post. This kinda makes me feel better. And it’s something I think about sometimes because I always feel like regardless of how hard I work on something I don’t get anywhere.
Psychology is amazing folks and more of it needs to be common knowledge
Good for my own information…
This really explains 1) some of the gaps in my childhood and 2) my steadily worsening ability to remember shit and actually take in new experiences as anything other than an inconvenience keeping me from sitting at home sleeping or staring at the tv for hours not taking anything in
