Pregnant?!


Did it bother anyone else that the Spider-woman on the motorbike was significantly pregnant? I get it's supposed to be a YASS SLAY QUEEN thing, but isn't it just insanely irresponsible? At one point she even gets slammed into the front of a bus - they have an entire multiverse of Spider-people to help on missions, so they can't exactly argue they're short on members.

Yeah it was really stupid, she would of had a miscarriage. Really irresponsible of a pregnant woman to risk her child’s life like that

Yeah they did the same thing in the comics. It was stupid in that too. The fact they added this to this movie. Dosn't make me want to watch it.

Oh, they blackwashed her too? I guess Miles wasn't enough diversity...

Of course not, check out the new Snow White: https://moviechat.org/tt6208148/Snow-White

She is no longer white.

To be fair, they can't adapt her like the comics anyway since Sony owns the rights despite her origin being that she and her father worked for Hydra (she was brainwashed by them) and Nick Fury met her when infiltrating the Hydra base she was at. He convinces her Hydra are the bad guys and she comes to realize he's right. Leading her to betray Hydra. But because Spider is in her name Sony owns her even though she has nothing to do with Spider-Man.

Pregnant. Never mentioned again

I don't understand why that was in the story. No reason for her to be pregnant since it was irrelevant to the story. Very senseless.

Did you miss the amount of "diversity" this movie had?

This character was filling the "strong, black, brave queen amazing mother woman" quota.

I'm also pretty sure this character will have a change of heart and help Miles in the second part, because a black woman can't just be a villain in today's media.

I'm not sure if I understand your point.

reply

The point was that this movie wanted to show diversity.

A way they found to do it, for some reason, was to have a strong, female, black woman. She is so strong and brave that having a baby will no stop her. She can be a working mom.

reply

Okay. I got you.

I have not seen this as it’s obviously for kids but I would love to see the white girl become pregnant with that black guy! Push that agenda. Glorify it.

reply

Just as irresponsible as Peter taking his baby girl with him, but at least we know his wife tried to make him stop. In any case, I don't necessarily think we're meant to believe she, or any of the other multiverse spiders, are responsible. It's made quite clear in this film that being reckless and impulsive is pretty core to most spiderpeople.

I was actually more concerned that that Spider-Women was so much in agreeing that their partner has nothing to say. She basically said "I don't care about my partner". Very strange role of her, the least working character for me.
