It's what we've always deserved.

Miles Morales' return to the big screen was always one that Marvel fans had high expectations for. After the critically-acclaimed first instalment of his story,From the perfectly mapped out character arcs of both Miles and Gwen Stacy as they struggle to grow into their personhood to the stunning animation that will no doubt continue to push the artform forward, the sequel proved to be just as spectacular as fans had hoped.

Spider-Punk, aka Hobart "Hobie" Brown, hails from Earth-138 and what a feast of a character he is. Voiced by the brilliant Daniel Kaluuya, Hobie is a Black-British anti-establishment punk who hates capitalism, blindly following the crowd and distrusts figures of authority. Hobie simply destroys that notion with one Spidey swing. Seeing a Black character on-screen animated with piercings when we have for so long as a community tried to present in the most "non-threatening" ways alone illustrates just how different we deserve to be.Fans have also interpreted the "punk" side of his persona to be linked almost exclusively to the genre of music as a symbol of disorderliness, but it's worth digging deeper into what punk means.
