How does Hobie fit his hair under his mask- IRRELEVANT.
What you should be asking is how is his guitar not falling when they are literally upside-down
Answer: Hobie hates laws so much he's subconsciously able to break the Laws of Physics if it threatens his aesthetic.
His suspenders also do not move.
Animation error? Hammerspace? Nah I just hc he has Infinite Coolness as a legit ability. There's no other explanation he's just That Cool.

This isn't about who's more powerful, who's more evil, who's more complex, who's got the better goals, or who's got the better powers. This is about who is more iconic or memorable. Every villain from Marvel is great in their own right, but these two are clearly at the top of the villain food chain. Other villains may be more powerful, more complex, or more relatable, but Magneto is the villain you could see yourself rooting for, and Doom has proven just how good he is at "pulling the strings," at least when his enormous ego doesn't get in the way. So what say you? Who is Marvel's ultimate villain?

"Miguel isn't Spider-Man"
[A short essay where I explain why I think this theory doesn't make sense - and why believing it CONTRADICTS ourselves]
The idea that Miguel isn't Spider-man is erroreous in my eyes for one reason: it's hypocritical.
Miguel's biggest error and problem is that he doubts Miles is Spider-Man.
Miguel puts strict limitations on what Spider-Man is and isn't, and because Miles falls out of the definition, he treats him differently. That's a problem.
By questioning if Miguel is Spider-Man, you're doing the exact same thing.
By saying 'Miguel isn't Spider-Man because x,y,z' (he wasn't bitten, he has different powers, he needs shots, etc, etc) YOU are putting strict limitations on what Spider-Man is - and treating him differently for it.
That's why Miguel was chosen as the Society Leader.
In SM2099 Miguel is a geneticist - there's really nothing in his comic books that suggest he could time travel of all things.
The writers chose Miguel as the leader because fundamentally, his story makes him different from all other Spider-people.
That difference invites you to question Miguel's authenticity, effectively tricking you into making the exact same mistake he is.
Miguel is an outsider looking into Miles story, questioning his legitimacy, and trying to determine his personality and destiny based on that.
By questioning Miguel, you BECOME Miguel. You become the outsider looking into Miguel's story, questioning his legitimacy, trying to determine his personality and destiny based on your limited idea of what a Spider-Man is.
The entire point is : ANYONE can be Spider-Man regardless of their story, the way it came about, or the powers they have.
Many people question that if Miguel wasn't bitten never consider the question:
Was MARGO bitten?
Margo, like Miguel, uses technology to acquire most of her powers. Her powers are fundamentally different than most Spider-people. She can teleport and directly interact with technology in a way others can't. We have no idea whether she was bitten or not, but from the looks of it, the answer might be 'no'.
But no one ever questions her legitimacy. Only Miguel's.
Because questioning Miguel confirms their bias against him.
The same way Miguel questioning Miles confirms his bias against him.
Miguel thinks Miles is the universal anamoly, so he begins to pick apart why he's not really Spider-Man. When you theorize that MIGUEL is in fact the anamoly, you begin to pick apart why he's not really Spider-Man - effectively putting you in Miguel's position, turning you into the same thing you were judging him for to begin with.
The whole point of ATSV is that anyone can put on the mask.
PLUS with the inclusion of the trans!Gwen hints throughout the movies - questioning Miguel because he takes shots in order to confirm his identity as Spider-Man becomes even more questionable.
Just because he needs an outside force like shots to confirm his identity, doesn't make him any less of that identity. People who are 'biologically/naturally' Spider-people aren't 'more' of a Spider-person than Miguel. The same way cis guys aren't more 'manly' than trans men who take shots.
But Miguel's story being an allegory for transness is another conversation for another day.
The point of the movies isn't 'Miles is Spider-Man'. The point is 'Anyone can be Spider-Man. No one can decide your story or identity for you.'
By questioning Miguel's identity as Spider-Man you're ignoring the message Miles keeps trying to hammer home.
When you question Miguel, you become Miguel.
In short: Miguel is Spider-Man, Miles is Spider-Man. They're all Spider-Man. There is no one definition of Spider-Man.
MIGUEL IS SPIDER-MAN AHHHHH
I rest my case.
(actual photo of me defending Miguel in court. I am his lawyer.)
This isn't me trying to shit on people who believe this theory, but it's just my personal two cents of why I think it doesn't add up in the general scheme and message of the movies. 💖
ANYWAY here's Miguel
BYE.

I know marvel would never go for it… but imagine they decide to lean into an anti-hero arc for post-NWH peter. He steals to survive, and the only reason he keeps up his superhero business in the spider-suit is in case, somehow, everyone remembers. so they don’t finally remember him only to see him, as spider-man, a horrible person.
Peter parker, in which the only time he is a good person is with the suit on. and he hates himself for it.
(He understands 2010 tony stark a little better. “There’s is nothing except this… there is the next mission, and nothing else.”)
And when everyone does remember. When they do come looking for him, delighted that Spider-Man appears unchanged, expecting the Peter parker they left behind on that statue, they are horrified to find that Spider-Man is the only part of the old Parker that remains.
And they have to explain to him, slowly and painfully, that Spider-Man is the part of his identity that they care about the least. that Peter keeping up Spider-Man means nothing, if it’s not the same Peter in the suit.
