Greetings shippers welcome back and in honour of the multiverse and just the multiplicity
of canon in general it’s time for another update video in the Marvelverse but not the
MCU.
Let the cinematic universe rest for now.
We’re going to be taking another look at Spideypool.
But before we get started if you haven’t already please follow on social media to stay
up to date know when we’re streaming and just come on over and chit chat about fandom
it’s a good time I swear now onto our friendly neighbourhood spider-man and the merc with
a mouth deadpool.
We’ve talking about this pairing multiple times on this channel so if you missed it
the links will be down below or you can check out the marvel playlist, for all your marvel
needs.
In those past videos we discussed both the rise of Spideypool and later on some controversy
it fell into due to the variety of canons and some fans entering the fandom with knowledge
of only one canon and judging the ship as a result.
That canon being the mcu which created an age gap in certain fans minds that others
reconciled with alternate canons such as the comics or had only been operating off of these
other canons in the first place.
Others felt that all these canons are flexible and that spideypool is so omnipresent at this
point that new canons, facts or other iterations are absorbed and blended into the overall
fanon that is Spideypool, and that people need to look more into a pairing before making
a snap judgement.
In today’s outing we will focus on on how yet another new iteration of Spider-Man has
managed to impact spideypool this time in a positive and fun way by created a new twist
on the pairing.
That being the introduction of Peter B Parker or Bagle Spider-Man from 2018’s Spider-Man
Into The Spider Verse.
Spider-Man into the spiderverse was an animated Spidey film that focused on the origin of
Miles Morales as spider-Man and played with the concept of the spiderverse introduced
in 2014’s Spiderverse comic event, though it does not adapt the plot the remains faithful
to the concept of several alternate versions of spider-man having to band together.
One of these was Peter B Parker an older middle aged spider-man who was down on his luck and
a bit more jaded and worn than the Parker fans are used to.
This food loving, sweat pants wearing version of Spider-man was embraced by fans who were
drawn to him for the humour he brought but also the vestiges of the man he had been,
the heroism, the mentorship, the hope.
Many wanted him to be happy, and were curious as to how his story would continue.
For some this lead them right to Wade Wilson.
Now when one is already shipping a pairing even if it casually, or perhaps more dormant
as many shippers have multiple ships that they enjoy but not necessarily at the same
time, meaning that they may cycle through pairings.
As not all shippers drop their ships once interest fades, for some interest never fades
but rather waxes and wanes, and a ship such as Spideypool is easier to maintain/flit in
and out of as it is a stable one.
Meaning it is one with an active fanbase where works are constantly being produced even if
it is not at breakneck pace it is still happening.
Meaning that if something new is added to canon or some new material be it extra canon
or no enters the fray it is easier to connect it back to something one is already shipping.
As such some fans connected Peter B Parker with Wade Wilson for another iteration of
Spideypool.
There was a burst of fan art and fan comics featuring the two as well as fics set in this
reality.
Some felt that Wade would love any Spidey he could get in any form and would be the
perfect person to show peter how wonderful he is, plus the two could go out for many
a food date.
Finally a shared appreciation.
Some prefer the aesthetic of this other people right down to the dad bod which some feel
was more tastefully executed than how Thic Thor was later implemented in Endgame.
And many felt if anyone could appreciate a more relaxed physique it would be wade wilson.
Much of this fair is fluffy with an affection as ever Wade but also with a Peter who is
grateful and receptive a gentler spin on the dynamic that can often feature an exasperated
or at time bordering on abrasive Peter, especially canonically.
This Peter has been tempered by time and hardship and would appreciate the comfort and stability
a loving relationship could bring.
And of course some utilize the multiverse to postulate that somewhere out there, there’s
universe where Spideypool are just together.
Also some who were aware of this pairing but squicked out because of the mcu tom holland
situation were able to jump on board with this clearly older version.
It was also a jumping on point for some who may have been aware of the ship but never
seen the appeal but were perhaps swayed by the fanart.
Or for some it was a brand new connection.
Thanks to the format of comics and the many adaptations and versions they tend to have
transformative fans in this medium are used to having to wade through pun intended various
potentialities to arrive at their favourite version of a ship.
Although of course as is often the case with shipping sometimes it just happens.
This version of Spideypool is a tiny bit like parley in that there isn’t anything canonically
there and it is built entirely upon fan extrapolation and love for this ship and the concept of
these two together which means it is as ever flexible.
There are some who like to quibble over which version of spideypool is the best version
however many
just enjoy that there is so much to go around and have made room in their heart for Peter
B Parker.
Now if one was never a spideypool shipper this may not sway you especially as the characters
do not interact on screen which for some shippers is required as not all shippers enjoy the
metaphorical legwork for creating entire scenarios from scratch.
Though with comics some feel there is less from scratch as there is always so much backstory
waiting to be employed as the fan sees fit.
However others still want Peter B Parker to get his happy ending with MJ.
Which is sweet too there is room out there for all of the ships.
Do you think Peter B Parker would have a similar dynamic with wade as his comic book counterpart
or do you think that exasperation would have been tempered into a fondness.
Or would you enjoy it either way just more Peter B Parker.
Did you find yourself taken with him and his sweatpants.
All hail the frump.
Fun fact Peter sucking his fingers while eating burgers managed to become a pretty solid and
oft times raunchy meme, because the internet has everything.
This was a small ripple in spideypool a ship who’s tale is ever growing did you enjoy
this chapter.
If so leave a like down below and let me know if there are any other marvel ships we need
to talk about we’re on a roll can’t stop won’t stop.
Thanks so much for taking some time out of your day to spend it discussing fandom and
shipping with me I always appreciate it, it’s fun to peak back in with ships and see who
they’re doing and to see people appreciating Wade in the way he deserves unless you hate
him then this much have been awful for you.
