in prep for brand new day, im watching tom's trilogy again and im partway through homecoming and remembering a) how happy he was and b) how entertaining spiderman is as a character
so I wanted to ask. firstly who's your favourite spiderman and why? personally I'd go with tom - It fluctuated between him and Andrew for a while tho and ik a lot of people like Tobey for the nostalgia plus all three are great spidermen. secondly which of any of the movies is ur favourite?Â
back to the au tho. is there a specific version of spiderman u picture when writing spideychae? (like vibes and personality and things like that) bc ive been comparing her to tom's probably bc of the entire avengers thing but it could honestly be any.
also does she have the classic red and blue themed suit and is it based off any of the movie suits we've seen or is it based off one of the comic suits?
im assuming spideychae's patrols are all quite similar to tom's during the start of homecoming - helping old ladies with directions, the occasional bike robbery, probably waving at school kids. I wonder if she's more talkative as spiderman (bc he ofc always has his infamous mid-battle quips) or is she quite silent bc of the accent and lack of English? or does she use spiderman as an outlet to be able to practice her English without judging eyes in a way (not ofc on huge missions but when she's patrolling the more familiar streets).
the scene of ned dropping the Death Star (ouch) got me thinking of Megan first finding out yoonchae goes on night patrols bc she goes to see her in her room and she's just not there. so Megan waits around and is messing with one of the lego sets yoonchae has displayed around her room (many of which she built with Sophia) when yoonchae slips back in through the window and Megan proceeds to drop the thousand piece set and yoonchae has to shush her bc oh my god what if sophia or lara wake up!
another thing - spideychae making friends with all the stray animals across the city and the few that live in the shops she frequents, and then introducing them to megan when megan one day joins her on a night patrol. spideychae also probably has a lot of friends in weird places but like she wouldn’t be very aware of it - she’s the type to make friendships that don’t require a lot of talking which is why she’s friends with some street artist she’s always learning new art tips from, and the group of teenage skaters who aren’t aware she’s the same age as them but love chatting to her about their day, and the kids who play basketball at exactly 11pm every wednesday under the flickering street lights and always inviting her to play (even if she does refuse a few times). she’s more hesitant about opening up this part of her world to megan but she does anyway because… it’s megan
anyway thanks for listening let's bring back SPIDEYCHAE BEING A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD SPIDERMAN!!! bc like we've had too much angst and I'm in a great mood
yay spideychae as friendly neighborhood spiderman!!!!!
ok i have a lot of love for tobey spiderman because those were the first spiderman movies i watched and they're just so classic, but tom holland's spidey has been growing on me big time lately. i don't know if i have a favorite movie off the dome, but i think i've rewatched homecoming more than any other spiderman movie...i put on the amazing spiderman as background noise sometimes too
that actually reminds me though i should brush up on no way home i've only seen it once
my first instinct was to say that i'm basing spideychae off of tom's spiderman more than the others, but i realized that she's also like. swaggy as hell and absolutely kind of has the cool loser loner thing going for her that andrew's spiderman has. so maybe both of them?
i think probably yes with the classic suit? i've been picturing it the classic red and blue but more muted...like darker tones, def closer to the amazing spiderman suit than tom's or tobey's. i've almost been wondering if the blue on that suit would actually be closer to black on spideychae's...i've also been thinking that it would probably have evolutions like most spidey suits have (like...iron spider anyone??)
with her patrols, i think she'd actually be really really quiet for kind of a long time. lots of hand gestures, notes left on lost bikes, etc. but as she starts to become more confident as spiderman, she starts to talk more (and maybe in connection with megan? like if they're going out on patrols together and she sees megan being chatty, that kinda gives her the confidence to do the same + she gets to kind of learn the script of superhero to civilian interaction). and the mid-battle quip thing, she'd absolutely have some zingers, but they'd be less frequent (and possibly more accidental than the classic spidey wit. insomniac spidey by the way talks during battle SO much i know it's part of the game but he's got one-liners for everything)
i actually love that lego set idea and i like that it seems like yoonchae isn't even upset with megan for breaking her lego set or for being in her space when she isn't there, she's just worried about waking lara and sophia up. mei chae <3
spideychae with stray animals oh my god yes. dog metaphor extended. and her friends in strange places. that's so sweet. spideychae going out on patrol and buying a tuna sandwhich that she doesn't even like the taste of just so she can feed little bits of tuna to the cat that keeps finding her on rooftops. and her letting megan into that world, the world that she's built for herself for once in her life and is really genuinely proud of?? they're so soft. and walk with me here. they're out one evening, patrolling, whatever, and something just plows into yoonchae's side. and it's not an enemy- it's just a scared kid who can't find her parents. yoonchae lifts her up on a hip without really thinking about it, promising they'll find her parents, talking to her gently about school or whatever to calm her down. they walk around the area for a while, trying to locate this girl's parents and when they do finally find them, they're practically in hysterics over their kid being missing, but they're so so thankful to yoonchae and keep being like we're so glad she found someone safe. and megan's just watching with a smile on her face that no one can see under the mask, but yoonchae can practically feel it, and once she's passed the kid off and the family walks away, she wheels on megan and is like "what?" megan ofc is like "nothing" because she knows yoonchae will realize on her own where the airy lightness she's feeling came from and how awesome it is that she was a random kid's safe person, which means she's trusted in the community and how healing is that! or horrifying. depends on the day...
