Once upon a time a small rat walked into my web...

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Post-Credits Scene (Colorized)

Been wanting to draw a thing including that cursed MCU Peter photo for a while.

Tumblr ate the image in my last post so here it is again.

part of what made across the spiderverse so perfect was that it was largely centered on WHO spider-man is, in EVERY universe. not just Miles, or Peter, or Gwen, or Miguel. Spider-Man. it was about the ESSENCE of Spider-man. Spider-Man is love for humanity. Spider-Man is having to sacrifice and lose everything you love for the mask. Spider-Man is rebellion against the powers that be. Spider-Man is about trying to do both, in every universe. about not taking no for an answer or listening when everyone tells you your destiny. refusing to choose between the things and people you love. that’s why Spider-Man is so compelling: they want everything, even though everyone else tells them they can’t have it. that it’s not meant to be. and they just. keep. trying. keep getting back up. they just keep going, man.

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.

“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.”

I’d like to protect you,

but what if I can’t?

Happy 20 year anniversary to another family fave of an album:

Year of the Spider

This album is incredible and I’m a huge fan of Cold and their particular brand of alt-Darkness.

The vocals on this album by lead singer Scooter award are next level and the lyrical content on this record is so poetic and beautiful.

A perfect example of the beauty and reflection present in their lyrics is the song: The Day Seattle Died which painfully illustrates the heart that was ripped out of the music industry when Kurt Cobain died and when Layne Staley passed.

There are so many other amazing songs on this record that are quintessential early aughts nu metal-ish tracks. Some of my faves include: Don’t Belong, Wasted Years and Whatever You Became. Needless to say, I used to walk around the university campus being an angsty little minx enjoying the fuck out of this record.

Listen to the vocals on Wasted Years and tell me that it doesn’t speak to you! This track is a family favourite for my siblings and I..

Anyways, I love this record and I want to celebrate its 20 year old birthday today!

Pretty cool to see that they’re still out here preforming these tracks 20 years later! This video so from 2days ago where Cold was performing at the Whisky A-Go-Go in Hollywood.. and the crowd was eating the shit up. Love it for them!

what a year this been, we may all haves ours up and downs but we finally made it, looking forward for next year, see you in 2024.

note: I couldn't fit all animation media in this so sorry if favorite wasn't in here.
