Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THAT THERES A ENTIRE YEAR AND A HALF IN BETWEEN THE DEFENDERS AND DAREDEVIL SEASON 3!?!!?

*disclaimer: I have not seen the movie and I wasn’t really planning on it so I didn’t mind spoilers because I was only looking for one specific thing *cough* *cough* Daredevil *cough* *cough*

But SPOILERS I guess for folks who haven’t seen it!

I know I am probably beating a dead horse here but I just feel like it was SUCH a lost opportunity not to have Daredevil in Spider-Man Brand New Day.

Like Matt would have been the PERFECT ally for Peter the entire movie!

1. The whole thing with Jean Grey: I know it is not stated in the MCU but I am pretty sure in the comics that Matt is highly resistant to telepathy (not completely immune) but still he has a high resistance to mind control so he would have been PERFECT against someone like Jean Grey

2. Peter’s senses: who better to help Peter with his heightened senses than someone who CONSTANTLY has to deal with their heightened senses like c’mon Matt was RIGHT THERE!! It would have been the PERFECT opportunity to establish a mentor/ mentee relationship between the two considering that in the comics they interact a lot with each other and share villains!

3. The Hand is in the movie: Y’all… Daredevil literally has the MOST experience fighting against them! Literally had to deal with them for 2 seasons like WHY was he not in this movie?????? Why is FRANK of all people in there????

Then later on with Aunt May, “there will be people who try to do terrible things to you because you’re special.” QUEER. ALLEGORY.

Peter Parker Matt Murdock

Bad Bunny started playing and my theater started cheering. There’s a halal butcher shop next to a bodega, the kid Peter saved is a wearing a Knicks jersey and there’s a random tourist bus that’s filled with people wearing tacky New York merchandise. My favorite detail is when Empire State turned on its lights to support Spiderman just like how it does in real life with actual events.

The city is alive, vibrant, and in tune with Spider-Man and we see it become its own character rather than just a background setting. Peter finally interacts with the city again as a figure and as a person as well. There’s people who talk to him, who try to help in battles and these are all the moments that make the city a living and breathing home for Peter Parker and Spiderman together.
