i wonder if given the volatile political climate, sony will feel the need to overcorrect on the implication that #gwenstacy is trans in #acrossthespiderverse. imagine for the follow up they shoehorn in a flashback of gwen stacy being born, destined for greatness... and the doctor in the background go "it's a girl", like some sony executive barging in to some tumblr post of a young transfem feeling represented and seen to make sure that she knows that she isn't.
like gwen is gonna go like, "uhm, periods are a bitch in this suit" or some shit and look at the camera for a solid 30s of silence.
i'm not saying it's gonna happen. i don't think so. i just like the idea of being able to point to this toot in the future and say, i told you so, even though i really didn't. but at the same time, this is the kind of shit some companies would do. i think it wouldn't be the first time some movie felt the need to overcorrect to make sure to prove some fan theories wrong for no reason whatsoever.
