This was a very cool topic that I was interested in researching. Learning about the creation of this character and how popular he became within just a few years was very cool. One of my favorite things to learn, though, was listening to people who were African American, Latinx, or both talk about how they felt about the movie, whether it was good or bad. So many of them loved to see themselves in Miles, and it was kind of heartwarming to see. 

It was also amazing to read about the team behind the movie. How they wanted to make the characters look just right and wanted to tell a story. It was also interesting to hear about the new way they animated the movie to give it its distinct comic book style. To see so many people come together and deliver an amazing movie with an amazing protagonist and even some amazing villains was very uplifting, and you could tell Miles Morales had a place in a lot of their hearts. They truly wasted their time making something special for everyone but paid a lot of attention when it came to Miles’ culture and where he lived. With little details from what he wears to posters and drawings in his room, you can tell the team cared a lot.

I do think it stinks that a lot of people didn't take it all that kindly when Miles was first introduced in the comics, calling it a way for Marvel to get attention, and that they couldn't believe that Marvel was just releasing an African American Latino character and that it had to be for attention. I think this shows that there needs to be more representation; this should be considered a normal thing to introduce a biracial character. Not deemed to just be a way to get attention, and that's not how a fanbase, especially one as big as Marvel's, should immediately think the moment one does get introduced.
