- Once again spiderverse is a case study in how stereotypes and fandom archetypes can override people's understanding of media and that includes fanartIt annoys me people draw Hobie buff when he’s a stick bug and when they draw Pav like a stick bug when he’s buff
- Hobie is like your skinny ass brother who eats everything in the fridge and empties his plate in five minutes because he's a "growing boy"stop making hobie brown a buff nigga!!!! He is a lanky nigga!!!! He ain’t got NO skin on dem bones!!!!
- This is such a good example on how to age up younger characters and show gradual changes over time like the changes are subtle but it's there!
- Replying to @soggiusagiPavitr said OUT LOUD that he's "naturally buff" and only uses one hair product. But the fandom draws him like a twink and view Hobie as this unsanitary "edgy" type because their preconceived notions replace what they actually watched
- Replying to @soggiusagiHi I have nothing to advertise except that I am very Normal about spiderverse
- We should really discipline how the woobification of these characters often obscures or downplays what they're meant to represent
- I raise you: Hobie growing a garden
Need more art of HOBIE bein soft. Hobie in his casual clothes. Hobie frolicking in a field or smth dawg - Replying to @bubblypinkfreakHe said "what that got to do w me 🤨" just NASTY&:&;;
- I've been thinking a lot about "intergenerational trauma" movies lately and it's so telling to me how quick the backlash from white viewers was towards this subgenre of film in contrast to the catharsis and comfort POC were able to get from it.
- Don't go here but reading the replies is interesting. People are questioning why colonized peoples are always given the role of the extremist villain in media on a broader scale and still no one gets it.this is a good example of why media analysis doesn't work well on here: someone makes a valid point on overall themes/messaging and someone responds with "but its justified in the show" but WHY was it written that way? that's the point being made
- I think people (mainly nonblack people) are terrified of portraying a black person as anything other than generically "nice" and they just do not know how to engage w black characters that have more than one personality trait so they flatten them insteadthe sunshine boy-ification of miles morales in the atsv fandom needs to be studied because not once has he ever acted like that
- I been saying this but a lot of people overlook that this is also the second time they've done something like this to him, hence why Miles goes "it worked the first time, why not run it back?" (Albeit on a smaller scale w more justification)
