Being spider man is easy
Looking at this scene more closely, something seems familia-
...
Oh.
anyway, a series of things I did not notice about the little spinny thing pav does while rescuing civilians from freefall, yknow the one:
he's not holding them all with one hand, he made a second loop of webs to catch his diabolo again in his other hand so it would be more secure
I can't get a good picture of it but it's the same way he caught the diabolo in his introduction after he hit the spot with it and I like that repetition
the reason he does the mid-air spin is to catch the other 'end' of the loop with his foot and wind it around his waist, to free up his hand to grab miles' arm when miles comes swooping down to catch him
(the web is staying wound around his waist because he caught it with his leg and folded his leg up so it wouldn't slip off)
also presumably it worked to slow their fall and heft the civilians a little higher, so they'll land on that roof instead of crashing into the side of the building
there's also a tiny animation error here since pavitr is still wearing his bracers/bangles on both wrists even though he's using his diabolo to do his yoyo tricks!
I actually double-checked another scene because I wouldn't put it past the costume design to have the suit coloured gold and red under the bracer but nah, in this bit his wrist is pretty clearly bare after he flicks it off:
in conclusion: this scene fucks even harder now that it makes sense to me, 10/10
Gosh he's so cool
i want to give a bit of info to everyone who only knows miguel from the movie:
•he is not a vampire! his fangs are from his spider dna and are filled with paralyzing venom :) fun fact: the size of his fangs makes him mumble so other people don't see them while he's talking!
•he wasn't bitten by a spider like most spider people! spider dna was atomically spliced directly into his genes making him 50% spider
•he doesn't stick like other spider people! he uses the talons on his fingers to climb around and such! fun fact: these talons can easily slice through solid metal :)
•he doesn't have a spider sense! instead, all of his senses are majorly enhanced!
•yes! he always moves like that! he automatically moves like a feral monster because that's what he is!
•he has a fiancé named dana and a little brother named gabriel! they are the two most important people in his life :) fun fact: gabriel recognized that it was miguel in the spider suit the first time he saw him in it!
•his eyes are red because they can see in major details and in complete darkness. fun fact: this makes his eyes super sensitive to light, which constantly gives him migraines :)
•yes! his ass is that huge in the comics, too! everyone in the comics are always commenting on it ^^
•miguel is irish/mexican :)
•he is NOT the original spider man of his universe! there was a peter parker in the past before the year 2099
just wanted to clear up some facts about him movie onlys may have misconstrued ^^
