One funny thing to me about across the spiderverse was that like. You KNOW Hobie doesn’t fuck with cops. You KNOW he was standing there like chewing on the inside of his cheek Not saying anything really really insensitive about Miles’ dad. Spider-punk went the whole film without oinking at anybody I think his restraint is commendable
Miles, 15 years old, likes his dad: we can’t just let people die c'mon guys!
Everyone else: I understand but please listen it’s part of the timeline we can’t change it without destroying the universe–
Hobie standing over there fidgeting with a pin on his vest that says “ACAB” on it:
[ID: tags from @avengerphobic that read “#hobie brown #he has blue shoelaces which means hes killed a cop so im sure he was like screaming on the inside #spiderverse spoilers” /end ID]
Hobie, quietly: I’d kill your dad myself to be honest
Miles: what?
Hobie: nuffink
Important to note that in the comics he has not only killed cops (he lives in an ultrafascist universe where the cops have venom symbiotes) he also cut off the president’s head with his guitar
Extremely swag thank you
One note: “cut off” sounds like he’s got a blade in his guitar, but he doesn’t. It’s a blunt instrument. He just swung it hard enough to overcome the strength of his neck and rock-em-sock-em’d him
AWESOME
The splash page is glorious. Also his universe being overrun with symbiotes is why his main weapon’s the guitar–symbiotes are hypersensitive to loud sounds, so he just plugs that bad boy into a dozen amps cranked to 30 million decibels and sonic blasts them to hell.
