Actually spiderverse was really cute in how loosely its used its ‘i love yous’ and especially how none of them were romantic!! I mean obvsly theres miles’ dad making him say i love you before school, but theres also peter’s quick “i love you, im so proud of you!!” during the fight (which he said so easily and delightedly!! He was so proud and happy about this kid omg), and noir saying “i love you all.” as a goodbye when he goes back through the portal like i cant think another superhero movie, or most movies in general tbh, who use the word love so carefreely. and maybe it has something to do with the fact that spiderverse is animated, but its just really refreshing and sweet, its adorable to hear every time and shows how close and family-like all the spiders got so quickly!
i find it ironic that there are so many musicals about the poor and destitute, yet usually the only people who can afford to watch them are those who could never understand the sentiment
I’m a huge fan of the fact that Peter was the one who fell for Lara Jean. Peter developed feelings first. Peter got hurt when she pointed out that they were fake dating. It seems it’s always the girls falling for oblivious boys, and I love that we got to see it happen the other way around. There’s an image of detached, unfeeling boys in this trope, and I love that we got to see a teenage boy fall first. Why should boys always be the ones to feel later, to feel less? Why shouldn’t they be in touch with their emotions too?
admit it, we’ve all fantasised about slow-dancing in the kitchen barefoot in our pyjamas at 2am in the arms of someone we love while old romantic jazz songs play softly on the radio
