Lets talk about Divergent for a second because it was mildly successful for a reason.
SPOILERS FOR ALL THREE BOOKS BELOW.
The sheer level of worldbuilding they explored in the thrid book and then DIDNT MENTION IT AGAIN BECAUSE THEY KILLED OFF THEIR MAIN CHARACTER (might talk about this in a different post).
The whole premise of this dystopian version of Chicago being used as a social experiment to see if they could eliminate the genetic mutations that people had. And the whole reason for them wanting to get rid of the mutations!!
Dauntless lacked fear but that made them lose their fear of death.
Candor was about honesty but they lacked trust in everyone and was very blunt with their words.
Erudite was smart but lacked empathy.
Amity believed in peace to the point where they would refuse to fight or cause any conflict whatsoever.
Abnegation was selfless, but they lacked self worth.
All of these factions are caused by genetic mutations from ancestors but most of them? Most of the people in Chicago were first or only second generation.
Another really cool thing was that every faction had a serum that fit its whole character/genetic mutation backfire.
Amity had peace serum that pacifies people.
Dauntless has fear serum.
Candor has truth serum.
But whats really cool is abnegation and candor’s serums. Memory wiping and death serums (In that order).
And its a funky lil bit of symbolism(?) with them having these related to the faction.
It is directly stated that Erudite people have little to no empathy and to take a human’s life shows this in a funky lil way where they will murder people to get their way or for research, showing a complete lack of care for others.
On the flipside abnegation’s memory serum explores how to be selfless is to have no sense of self, or at least thats the vibe i get from it.

so much love for characters who are desperately unsure whether they’re a good person, a redeemable person, a person worth saving, but are absolutely certain that they’re a grade a hottie

White People on tumblr who dont listen to rap, ignoring all the racial and historical context of why Kendrick is going against drake to just make it a fun trendy meme/ Kendrick being a hater is the same exact reason Kendrick called drake a colonizer
Edit: I actually Do Not Want resources on this post! I made this post to complain about a specific type of white person cluttering up my notifications saying that they didn't know what was going on and that they didn't care about rap and now those same white people are cluttering my notes again! Like I don't want to give white people who read my initial post the space to say it doesn't apply to them cus they watched a couple of videos. It still absolutely applies. You can have all the historical context in the world but you are still a colonizer and outsider in this space. I don't want you adding videos or anything explaining the beef because this post is not about that. There are literally hundreds of other posts explaining why this is happening and you don't need to come onto a black person's blog to ask them to do so.

If we are friends and you are out somewhere and you see some horrible novelty food and you're like who would eat this the answer is me. I will. Buy that food and bring it to me. I'm a horrible gremlin who will be too curious not to find out firsthand what mustard flavored licorice tastes like. Bring me the horrible food.

Okay, so I've read the Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse artbook, and there is this fantastic passage on Earth-42 that gives context to the dimension, Miles G., Uncle Aaron and the Sinister Six.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Miles comes face to face with a parallel world version of his own in Earth-42 – an alternate reality where he never gained superpowers and where his Uncle Aaron is still alive. “We wanted to craft this moment where Miles encounters this powerful figure in his life that he loved so much and he lost," says director Justin K. Thompson. “That's when he realizes that he is not really in his own dimension, as well as the gravity of what he has lost. In this reality, Aaron has had to shake off his life of crime and became a surrogate father figure to Miles.”
The artists changed Uncle Aaron's outward appearance to reflect this new reality and convey how he has changed. The Uncle Aaron of Earth-42 has a little gray in his beard. His clothing still has the old “cool streetwear” vibe, but he has a more sophisticated and older look. In this alternate reality, the Sinister Six have been able to flourish and take over the world. “We wanted to create a world where it felt like Aaron and Miles G. Morales [this reality counterpart to Miles Morales] are the only heroes.”
It's a much darker version of Miles' original home. So, we looked at comic book artists who epitomized that sort of noirish world - artists like Frank Miller, Sean Gordon Murphy, John Polygon, where there is heavy use of black and colors sort of recede behind the dark shadows. The powerless version of Miles is still capable and efficient and has great acrobatic and physical prowess. We also needed Miles to feel trapped in this dark world. We wanted to leave the audience with the burning question: ‘How is he going to get home?’ It was just exciting to see the development of this world to underscore all of these narrative choices we were making.”
