Recently, I've seen some people complaining about how the whole 'outcast character/protagonist' in movies is becoming bland and they should try other things, and while I completely agree that studios should always strive for creativity, I cannot fathom how much I love this generic trope, and many people around the world probably do too
I've been an outcast, and seeing "myself" on the big screen is always gratifying because it reminds me that I don't need to change, and that I'm perfect the way I am. That's why Spiderman: Brand New Day stuck to me, specially Jean Grey and Peter's convo. They comfort each other in the fact that they will NEVER not suffer for being 'different', but it doesn't mean they don't deserve love and kindness. If I didn't have this thing where I never cry at movies I'd be bawling my eyes out at that scene π
Not to mention this type of theme is EXTREMELY important in modern society (specially among teenagers) because of cringe culture and how much it's killing individuality π
