Me: the villains in the spider-man movies are demonized portrayals of working class organization

People who don’t understand critical analysis apparently: yeah but they do these bad things

Me: yeah no shit that’s the “demonized” part

not to like jump on this post and run with it but this is especially fucked up in the context of how mcu!peter is portrayed. comics!peter has mostly (can’t speak to every run) been poor and often down on his luck but in the mcu, he’s never shown actually struggling with money in any meaningful way and indeed is besties with a fucking billionaire who funds his lifestyle. he can afford international travel, losing entire suitcases, private school… everything.

so the demonization of working class people who are just lashing out about how they have been marginalized by the wealthy–specifically the wealthy dude funding peter’s lifestyle–combined with the complete erasure of peter’s own lower/middle class status is especially abhorrent and insidious.
