Technically, Peter didn't bring Mayday to a fight. He brought her to meet Miles, and it turned into a chase after. So technically, he didn't lie.
True! I doubt MJ would let the WHOLE truth slide, but he said enough to save himself.
I think something important about the relationship between Peter and Mayday that deserves a shout out is the book he was reading next to her. "How to speak so children will listen, and listen so children will speak." He clearly wants a honest and open relationship with daughter in a way that isnt muddled like his history was with keeping secrets and emotions hidden.
I think his (attempted) heart to heart with Miles earlier has to do with that too, I think he’s still upset about that. Maybe we’ll see his new communication skills when they meet again next movie!
Peter being a happy dad is all I’ve ever wanted for this character. Thank you Spider-Verse creators.
Honestly!
I really loved his arc in the first movie and seeing him be Maes Hughes and a happy and committed dad is the best outcome for his character.
I also love the detail that this Peter is the one who fathered Mayday Parker, a future spider hero.
I am pretty sure the "taking a photo" part was intentionally annoying from Peter. He didn't want Miguel to catch Miles after all, not before he could get a chance to talk to him.
diversion tactic
Good point! Doing your best work by accident WOULD run parallel to typical Parker luck!
I just love this version of Peter. I'm so used to the original wisecracking teenage version that it's nice to see a more laid back yet jovial, responsible dad version. Well, as responsible as you can be when you're bringing you baby on missions.
It's especially great that they managed to bring the silly old Peter Parker into the 30-year-old father version of him. He is exactly as terrible a parent as you would expect.
I don't think he's necessarily terrible, but someone like Peter can never be the best father just because of his "job"
thank you for the support and yes it was so adorable for this
The part that gets me is Peter was on the verge of being a father in the 1990s, but Marvel editorial seemed to do everything possible to prevent that from happening. So we could’ve had something like this version of Peter decades ago, and now that we have it in the Spider-verse movies, I’m thinking, “what were they so worried about? Why did they think this was the worst thing to do with Peter as a character?”
@@Mediadosum Peter a great dad... Mayday grows to become almost a better Spider-Man then him
Mayday pulling her little mask down is by far the cutest thing in the movie
I screamed in the theater 😂
Mayday is a canon event for Peter. Any peter that lives long enough to have a kid typically has a Mayday.
I feel like the "I HAD HER BECAUSE OF YOU" is when the whole Mayday obsession makes sense. He's been distracting Miguel and making the point that maybe, just maybe, things not going to plan is okay and is actually a part of life.
It's also as you note a moment of seriousness where if Miles is "wrong" then Mayday is ALSO wrong, and it's really the turning point of the movie-up to that point it's been mostly goofy superhero stuff but it's turning dark, but that's the moment when the stakes really get laid out.
Peter B. is PERFECT. I love him. This is the growth arc for Peter Parker the comics robbed us of. I just love getting to see him grow as a person, become a loving husband and an amazing dorky dad, and just NOT STOP BEING SPIDERMAN because guess what? Spiderman always does both! Or all three!
Regardless of Miguel's character on the overall story, 4:37 is one of my favorite moments of him in the movie.
Because he DOESN'T have spider-sense, and you could just say it was a reflex. But I love to think that even after losing his daughter, even when it's not his own child, his parental-sense still kicked in to catch Mayday.
it's funny, I don't think Peter expected to be taking Mayday to a 'battle' even though the movie calls it that, since he was really just taking her into 'work' at the Spider Society HQ and sure wasn't planning to get caught up in a chase with all of his co-workers going after his friend like that.
Though at the end he really has no excuse 🤣🤣
06:43 I think Peter wanted Miles to hold Mayday is because it was Miles in the first movie who made Peter belive in himsielf, that ge could become a good parent. If it weren't for Miles, he would never had the willpower and curage to reconcile with Mary Jane and become a parent. And by holding Mayday maybe Miles can understand how much it means for Peter. And then maybe Peter could get through to Miles.
It’s kinda hard to believe that Peter B. In ATSV is the same person from ITSV, initially being the depressed middle aged man who didn’t even wanted kids.😅😂💕
Just shows how much the right people in your life at the right time can have a crazy effect on someone's outlook on life. For Peter B, Miles Morales was that right someone.
I really worry for MJ as I was thinking of how Spiderman has the strength proportionate of a spider and we all know that baby's already have a death grip when that grab your hair...now imagine how strong Mayday is if she inherited Peter's spiderman quality. Poor MJ
My mom told me how painful it was when I used to bite her when she was nursing me. I can't imagine how painful a superhuman bite would be lol
My condolences for poor MJ
I honestly can imagine Mayday growing up and just absolutely loving to spend time with Peter like "Awww, you took ms to my first chase🥺"
Idk, I lack these things with all my parental figures so I do hold on for everything and anything that I enjoyed. You rlly can't help but be happy for Peter.
Mayday's focus on the phone reminds me of my niece's first birthday. I was taking photos with my phone and my niece kept pointing at me. Everyone thought she wanted my attention, but the truth was, she wanted my phone. When I gave it to her, the first thing she did was SOMEHOW figured out the redial and called her mom.
I appreciate the effort you put into costumes for each episode. You never need to, but it's shows how much effort you put into your work. Excellent video as always!
Glad you like them!
The spider-plush was amazing
The spot outfit is my favourite!
I ADORE how honest and upfront Peter is with miles and how much he means to him. It’s something I’ve been working on and again I see so much of myself in so many of these characters in this movie I’m absolutely obsessed!
Great analysis as usual, I like how you pointed out how obsessed Peter is with Mayday. Also I love your harness with the little Spider plushie it is really cute. I think Peter also looks to Mayday as a source of comfort whenever he’s stressed or sad. For example, he always kisses her head when he’s distressed (watching the projection of his captain’s death, seeing the flashback of Miguel’s adopted universe collapsing, when Miles realizes Peter and Gwen knew about the anomaly issue all along, when Miguel leaves to catch Miles). Mayday never seems distressed in those situations herself, so Peter is giving her affection specifically for *his* comfort.
I also think Peter’s relationship with Miles is so interesting too when Mayday is in the equation, Peter *wants* what’s best for Miles, he basically sees Miles as his second child so of course he wants him to be happy and safe. but at the same time he was there when Miguel’s universe collapsed and he watched Gabriella disappear, so of course he would do whatever it takes to make sure that couldn’t happen to his own daughter. So there’s a lot of conflict for how far he should go when it comes to stopping Miles. you can see in the furnace room (??) when Miles strings him upside down to the ceiling, his arms are free so he 100% could have just webbed Miles while he was pulling the grate up, but he let him go instead. He’s trying to find that middle ground between strictness and gentle leniency, but he definitely feels guilty about it either way, considering when he asks MJ if she thinks he’ll ever be good at the whole parenting thing.
I think Peter’s breaking point to make him turn to Miles’s side though was when Miguel was going absolutely feral on the Go Home Machine, his face just *screams* “I let that man hold my baby” lol. Peter obviously cares about Miguel but I don’t think he’ll feel 100% safe having Mayday around him after that. And since Miles is basically Peter’s proto-child, he probably feels compelled to protect Miles from Miguel.
Furthermore, I think Peter has to reassess about the nature of letting an Uncle Ben die.
While true, Uncle Ben's death is what kickstarted Peter to be responsible. However, there's a difference between doing this for the greater good and doing this out of sheer spite which Miguel has obviously shown. More than that, Uncle Ben dying is painful no matter how much you romanticized the good that came from it.
aaawww the spider plushie baby was perfeeect lol anyway, didn't find it in the comments but, another point to Miguel having parent's intuition when catching Mayday, is that he doesn't have a spider-sense like most other spider-people
On the being overly excited about something bit, I tend to overthink it to the point where I never share anything, because in my experience, no one actually cares about the things I want or care about. If I want to be "part of the Tribe" I always have to go along with whatever everyone else wants. It honestly makes me feel worthless and like my opinions and things really don't matter, and that only basic needs (food, water, air, shelter) matter
Pretty much, its why most people only talk about interests they both have in common, but it sucks
Sometimes it's good to be reckless. Not rude or anything, but it's important not to be a people-pleaser and show others honestly who you are.
If you are open about what you are passionate about, many people will find it annoying. But the people who surround you then make far more valuable relationships than any you would get by trying to fit in.
But hey, I'm no psychologist, just talking from experience.
That is what the Internet it for!!! They have a fandom for everything 😁
Last week I looked up something about arrows and found the channel of a British, male, pole dancing archer 🏹 😳
Freaking awesome! 😎
I watched a guy clear out leaf clogged drains in his neighborhood with a rake to stop the flooding in the roads 🌧️🌿
I watched a guy do a rainbow fruits and veggies taste test with his bearded dragons and am subscribed to 20+ animal channels 🦎
I watched Stephanie Lange debunk all the celebrity gaslighting on beauty standards 💅🏽
I watched Uhnnnn where two amazing drag queens, Trixie and Katya, talk about anything and everything with amazing editors adding hilarious special effects on the green screen behind them 💚👑
I watched Alanda Parker and Zzavid get freaked out by horror movies so that I can laugh instead of be scared 😱😅
I watched Moriah Elizabeth makeover damaged Squishies and turn them into rainbow cupcakes or fruit themed animals 🍓
I am subscribed to dozens of movies and cooking channels as well.
Like Georgia says, share your enthusiasm for your interests at an appropriate time and place and in moderation and you'll be fine. If you're not sure, ask, and/or pay attention to body language.
You matter. Your opinions matter. You have to accept yourself the good/light and bad/dark sides both. You have to find your own way...Like Gwen if you don't fit into a band make your own and you might be surprised you're not the only one. Like Miles sometimes the only person that can help you is yourself...Because The Prowler is actually a Good Guy.
@@lkf8799that's awesome 👍🏾
A little sad you did use the clip where Peter and MJ were talking while mayday was sleeping. The talk about throwing out the playback when it comes to raising kids. Personally, that struck a huge cord with me right now in my life and seeing how superheroes and characters tackling the end of the world AND STILL having conversations about raising a kid was just like damn. I loved it !!!
Mayday's powers differ from her father's. For example, May doesn't wallcrawl like Peter and Miles. May produces a biomagnetic aura that allows her to attract...or even repel from the metallic structural supports inside buildings.....or even objects. She can redirect knives and other small, thrown weapons and repel swords. Eventually she gets a Spidy-suit with web shooters and deadly steel, stinger needles that she rarely uses as she deems them overly "brutal".
the baby spiderman plushie 😭😭
What I see in Peter B. is a lot of the same things I’ve struggled with regarding intense abandonment anxiety. It definitely feels like Peter B. has kind of latched onto others as a source of inner strength and that he seemingly feels a need to have Mayday with him because he’s scared of being alone. With his loss of aunt may and his temporary loss of Mary Jane, it seems to have really put him in this mindset of I need to have someone with me to give me strength and those people kind of become his whole world. He was so heavily impacted by miles that he had a child to chase that feeling of having miles by his side. For me, my friendships and relationships would kind of become my everything to a very unhealthy degree and I can see traces of that in how he acts. I’m not a psychologist so I’m pretty much just talking out my ass, but I really wanted to share my perspective
8:12 I have a lot of confidence that this point will be a part of the stakes in the next movie. Peter losing his child has already been a plot point in the comics, so it wouldn't be surprising to see it pop up again there.
Humbling reality spiderman is so good because its so accurate.
Mayday is going to be a prodigy superhero.
Loving this series, cant wait to see deep dives on each of the hundreds of remaining spideys
'I like being around you!'
... But I stayed away from you for 16 months.
Because some dubious vampire practically-a-cult head said your best friend's a cosmic freak and a multi-verse-level existential threat. Even if he's the only reason you were alive to get back together with MJ and have Mayday - and then betray him - in the first place.
So yeah, I believe Peter meant what he said. And I sincerely hope he and Miles (and Gwen) work things out. Many of us love all 3 of them too much, and that makes this betrayal hurt all the more. But I can see why Miles wouldn't buy it - especially not after Peter inadvertently got Miguel's goons sicced on him. (Really, you didn't know Miguel was monitoring your watch? That's like fascist standard operating procedure.)
Every Spider-Man means well. And I believe that Peter didn't mean to rat out Miles, but being thoughtless is kind of in character for him.
Of course he didn’t know. He was having a heartfelt moment and I mean it’s not out of Peter’s character to forget about his watch
What probably makes the totally-not-a-cult worse is that every Spider Migel invites into the Spider-Society shares very similar canon events, which means they all share the same trauma and thought processes. Creating a echo-chamber where everyone agrees and no one doubts Migel.
Which is why Miles is so disruptive. His canon events are so much more different, so he doesn't agree with Migel, which makes him freak out since that would undermine both the Spider-Society and his entire thought process.
Yup, hence why I said 'inadvertently'. I agree with @Mediados that Peter likely didn't mean to rat Miles out. I could've been clearer that I meant Peter was being 'thoughtless' rather than that he was lying about not knowing, though. :)
@@tmm4195
I also suspect that Peter didn't actually want Miguel to capture Miles, which would make his betrayal a bit less painful than Gwen's?@@tmm4195
Peter gets the Migel lost his child. Heck he was there
I love your reactions to these movies, Georgia. I've seen them both three times each, and counting, plus they have very insightful, mature themes. 💖
< 3
5:01 *parental spidey sense* “why has it been quite for five seconds straight?”
My therapist said overprotective people often do that because they often did not have good relationship with their parents. So fitting for Peter.
Maybe its the reason overprotective Dad trope exists
The cosplay- She put a wig on her "spiderbaby" im crying thats great
Miles and Quen are not being "Tortured" They're happy for him.
This is my favorite of your cosplays, plush Mayday is so cute and funny!
The squishy spiderman attached to you ......
Oh myyy, the little spiderman in your front pocket is soon cuteeeee. I'm dying 🥺❤
hehe happy you like it
I love the reveal that not only did he have a child, but that child turned out to be Mayday Parker. She is also a famous alternate spider hero.
exactly on point analasys overall, this is the exact analogy being put in by the writers and it's supposed to be a cute scooby doo kind of thing for some of us watching.
Mayday Parker originally showed up as a "what if...!?!" story where she was a teen in high school adjusting to her budding powers from Peter. Peter himself was retired with a broken leg. This was always delegated to a side story tho and would never be pulled into a main story because editors were certain that if peter got old he'd be less marketable and that would lead to either trying to appeal to a new demo and/or gambling on new characters. So this story with miles pulls in a lot of these elements for most of the most important characters!
It's exactly the kind of thing spider man would try to solve so hard and be sure he had the answer to while the truth, the elephant so to speak, is right there in the room. Clearly he can't ask miles to let his dad die, that's obscene, but in the exact way we as a fanbase were stuck wondering if mayday would ever see mass attention and yet, here she is! If Peter were asked to make that kind of choice he never would and he knows it ;P
Peter is NOT being self absorbed, he's absorbed with his BABY.
Great reaction, Georgia! My comment this time is shorter as it is late here, but I agree with all that you said. You did a great job in describing Mayday's impact on Peter and how she's brought him so much joy :). I do agree also though that he unintentionally was insensitive to Miguel. But yes, his scenes with Mayday were so adorable :). Great points also about how someone's enthusiasm can be overwhelming, but we should also be mindful in how we respond, particularly since a harsh response could lead to the other person feeling much hurt.
Awesome cosplay too. Take care. Have a nice day :).
2:45 For Miguel's sake, I hope that wasn't foreshadowing.
I hope it was foreshadowing. I want to see miles be the one to do it, but they have to keep his hands clean, so I know they won't
@probrickgamer wow, so much bloodthirstiness. They are actually both spider-man, Miguel is Miles's antagonist, not a villain
My nephew watch the movie so many times.
"...BEACAUSE YOU'RE A WONDERFUL PERSON! AND I LIKE BEING AROUND YOU!" he yelled at Miles. -- this is all the love and validation i need in my life
I absolutely freakin love your videos they give me a lot to think about
Omg the little spider plush in the cosplay is SO CUTE!
The ending makes it clear how much the people in Miles’ life love him, and he loves them too. Which is why his hurt runs so deep and I’m eager to see them all heal together in the next movie.
Also…omg did not even consider Mayday being an anomaly. I do not think anyone in the Spider Society would approve of Miguel hurting Mayday (especially when his right hand spider woman is pregnant)! If that comes up in the next film, things are going to get more serious.
Peter slowly giving Miguel ptsd flashbacks 😅
Love this! Peter B might be my all time favorite version of the character
Love your content, please keep uploading. Thank you 😁
Can you please analyze the therapy scene Kreese has in Cobrs Kai season 5? It's so good and is really mature!
I NEED you to do videos on the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions. Specifically my favorite, Astarion. ❤
Noted!
I would love to see a video all the quips they sling at each other. I think all of us have been held picture hostage at one point.
Also I always take my niece to my fights…jk
Omg, another awesome video!!!’ Love these please do more superhero’!!! Wolverine, Batman, so on!! Ooh do some villains!!!!
love the video.
Perfect a analysis and cosplay as always.
1) Has anyone else noticed what happened at the 0:38 mark?!?!
1A) SPOILER ALERT
1B) Shoutout to the Canadian Lad for showing me the value of 0.25 playback speed!
Was that just pattern recognition because he pulled that stunt before, or did HER spider-sense warn her of Daddy P.B.'s attempt to catch her!?!?!
Other than that, loving the video AND the playlist. THANKS, Dr. Dow!
I think if you are going to talk about anomalies you would need to to deep dive into the implications of of the siderman organization being the biggest anomaly thus far.
I mean if a single misplaced spiderman destroys a universe. What would hundreds of spidermen in a single universe do to the rest of the multiverse? Also anomalies seem very spidercentric non spider lives don't seem to matter in terms of anomalies which also makes me question how big is Miguel's ego.
As soon as you said our self-esteem comes from the opposite sex parent, my daddy issues bubbled up XD
This analysis really showed how much Peter loves his Mayday. God its so cute. Its really interesting that Mayday is an anomaly. It might be an interesting plot point for the sequel.
I think a lot of the Peter B Parker picture showing was to use the millennial disarming tactic. Also, it's shown that Peter B was their when Miguel lost his second family... so Peter B and Miguel definitely would have that connection of parenting, and I bet Miguel has seen and usually enjoys the photos from Peter B a lot.
I love your little spider plushie!
thank you
Do pavitr next please
Just shows how much the right people in your life at the right time can have a crazy effect on someone's outlook on life. For Peter B, Miles Morales was that right someone.
Peter tied up miles to protect him in the first film and yet he brings his infant daughter with him while he climbs a bullet train ascending to space.
This is the best cosplay you've done yet.
looooove this videooooooooooooooo
This cosplay is on point! 😂❤
Best. Cosplay. EVER!
hahaha thanks
Can you please do Joy and Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All at Once pleaseeeeee
Hello, Lady.
Can you give me advice from your perspective. I wanna start the business, I found where to take stuff and I have script how to talk with people where I will take it. But I don’t make a call. I’m fucking terrified even I see how someone else trying something to sell. How to solve it?
How does Peter have a baby who is probably one year old, but Miles is still fifteen?
Que tal electro del sorprendente hombre araña 🕸️🕷️
Help😂 the little spider in place of mayday
Not the little Spider plush 😂
yes yes i had to
Ever thought of doing reviews of the story one piece ? Its a great series for channels like this
Now you just asked her a life time worth of content.
@@the_wolfclan05 and brand new subs. Every channel that reviews one piece grows over night
@@the_wolfclan05I am actually thinking ablut starting the thousand-episode series. Will take me 4 years to watch it all, but it sure is good downtime while I'm waiting for other shows.
baby talk is a mighty tool yes
FYI, Mayday is more than just a little girl...like she has actual spider powers, saves MJ from a collapsing building at that age (at least in the comics)...so the rules may be a little different in this regard.
Do 42 miles
This is so cute. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Spider Dad is the Maes Hughes of the movie, and no-one can tell me otherwise.
= ) Georgia I VOLUNTARILY hold MYSELF hostage to your videos with your puppy! And even though I have lost my children, I happily and enthusiastically engage with people about their children. I also have a 5 year old nephew and 18 month old niece and a 5 year old niece who have me wrapped around their fingers. They still deserve my devoted love even though I've experienced loss. Not their fault. = ) Ina church full of people, dozens of kids, without looking, I could recognize my 6 year old daughter's gait running to find me after class. While asleep, I knew when they shifted wrong in bed at night and weren't feeling good. Also ran and dove across the room to catch them while they learned to walk and climb. I also took them every where. And they were DEFINITELY the brains of my operation! = )
Quick question: does the same happens with the self-esteem for young men with opposite gender parent?
I wish she was my therapist
Peter with mayday is the autism experience
Not gonna lie, That would be me as a parent.😂
mayday is a cutie
Do a reaction to Penny next. Peni Parker.
Yes, Mayday is so wonderful for Peter. And it made me laugh to hear him gush about her and refer to her as magical lol 😂! Though, his immense insensitivity with pushing Mayday in his face with pictures/etc and making fun of Miguel’s seriousness turned my stomach. I really did not like Peter in those moments at all.
I kind of like that Peter takes Mayday with him to Spider-society. How else is she going to learn to be a Spider-Person? (I mean there is CONFLICT there but it's not a fight to the death or anything.) I guess I'm the only person who supports Peter B.'s bad parent decisions.
please, pleeeeeeeeease, do a vídeo on the best teenage reptiles in the world, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
❤😊😍
Daddy issues, in spiderman,? Daddy issues is the second title for EVANGELION 😂😂😂😂
Could you please react on team fortress 2?
You shouldn't bring a baby to a fight.
Or to another dimension where you cooperate life-threatening missions 😄
You kind of looks like Courtney miller
Peter B Park did nothing wrong. He is incapable of doing anything wrong. I won’t stand for this slander. Miguel is just a stick in the mud.
