** On the other hand, if he's ''not'' correct then it means that the Spider-Society has allowed thousands of their loved ones to die and traumatised countless heroes [[AllForNothing for no reason whatsoever.]] It's hard to tell which option is worse. This hits even harder for Gwen as she realizes she had sided with an insane man to commit indirect murder, the same thing she had been accused of in her world. And worst of all, in the process, she betrays her best friend, breaks his heart, and drives him away from her. Into a world with no Spider-Man, where he's at his EvilCounterpart's mercy.

** Let's not forget him choke-slamming Miles into the train and maliciously hissing into his ear that he's a mistake who never belonged -- never belonged with the Society, and even more painfully, with Peter and the Spider-Gang, and most painfully, with Gwen. All the while, Peter and Gwen seem too paralysed to do anything. Physical and emotional abuse all rolled into one, while your best friends stand by and watch.

And worse still - they may quite possibly ''agree'', siding with the maniac over you.

* The confrontation between Gwen and Captain Stacy is a horrifying recreation of a confrontation between parent and child over something the parent can't accept in the moment. The child is alienated, the parent comes to regret it, but the damage has been done and now the child is alone in a dangerous world.



* Funnily enough, ''1610 Miles'' is this to Earth-42's Aaron and Prowler. In a world run by Supervillains (which may include variants of [[Characters/SpiderManCentralRoguesGallery Mysterio]] or the [[Characters/SpiderManCentralRoguesGallery Chameleon]]) a stranger who looks just like Earth 42's Miles found a way into his and Rio's apartment and was alone with her for an undetermined time and purpose. And this is after the two have already lost Jeff. In hindsight, it's not incredibly surprising they did what they did.

*** Then let's remember ''why'' he lost that bracelet -- because Miguel deliberately snatched it off him. He was perfectly willing to let Miles suffer the pain of glitching -- on top of that of being rejected by the Society and chased by his best friends. And if somehow Miles managed to escape and evade capture, Miguel could let the glitching finish the job for him.

* The "Go-Home-Machine" that is used to send villains back to their dimension is both awesome and terrifying at the same time (and will likely lean more towards terrifying for most), being a huge mecha-spider complete with eight set of eyes that sends the villain home by rapidly "spinning" dimensional lines around them like a spider spinning a cocoon around its victim. It's unnerving to look at, to say the least.

** When he reenters the scene on the hunt for an Alchemax reactor to pump himself full of more dark matter to create more holes, he's disquietingly fixated on the notion, not even humoring Miles's attempts to settle things any other way, bound and determined to mutilate himself further to attain more power. Then, as he and Miles are caught in the transdimensional blast, their perspectives briefly overlap, and Miles sees a flash of The Spot tearing down New York, wreaking havoc wantonly... and ultimately, his father being caught in the destruction. It's then that the true depth of The Spot's obsession with being Miles's nemesis [[AxCrazy takes full shape]]: because of what happened to him, his mutilation, the loss of friends, family, employment, any hope of future prospects, Spider-Man is the only thing that he has left. ''So he intends to be [[LeaveNoSurvivors the only thing Miles will have left, too.]]''

* Miguel's ability to switch between stoicism and almost feral rage is quite unsettling, especially as his claws, fangs and elbow blades make him a viciously animalistic opponent. His backstory--that he inadvertently caused the destruction of an entire world and ''watched his daughter disintegrate in his own arms''--is also chilling in itself.

** ABlinkAndYouMissItMoment is when the screen pays particular attention to Miguel towering over Gwen, you see Gwen was right at the edge to that hole, as if hammering the point Miguel will enforce the Canon Event, even repeating the Death of Gwen Stacy.



** There might be a [[JustifiedTrope justified]] reason as to why Gwen is acting this way. Unlike Gwen's situation at her world, where she was mistaken for a murderer, the Spider Society don't have that case, especially the numerous times Gwen has seen Miguel nearly ending Miles's life. So, Gwen is preparing to lethally take down these multiversal killers.
