funny man hell

like. god he’s not some tony stink Playboy Guy who willingly did designer drugs one day for funsies or whatever the fuck (which would have been, and Still Is, a consciously bad writing decision for This Specific Character, considering the racist stereotypes + baggage that comes with that; miguel getting drugged in issue #1 of the comics is functionally equivalent to a roofie, and both the characters & narrative generally treat it with the seriousness of such throughout the entirety of the run) or who was messing around giving himself Fun Superhero Powers just because he could. miguel’s powers horrify him his transformation is painful and only happens because a coworker who hated him saw an opportunity to hurt him and took it. like. sm2099 is directly inspired by The Fly (1980) okay they directly reference it in the text of issue #1 so from the jump there is body horror nd themes of personal identity nd autonomy and navigating them as a lifelong abuse victim disconnected from ur Flesh in this spider-man book Spider-Man is the vessel through which miguel is able to take ownership of his own self and body after a violation that shattered his “old” self You Guys DO Know That Right

marvel 2099 is cyberPUNK, written during the CYBERPUNK BOOM OF THE 90S, evil rich villains who r for all intents and purposes just average white-collar Douchebags with more power and money than any one human being should ever have is like. genre convention

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
