2) Hobie Brown
Hobart Brown, the man that you are. Like Pavitr he’s more explicitly introduced as a potential antagonistic rival to Miles—especially so given his close relationship to Gwen—but even as Miles is uncertain of him immediately, the audience is left with no doubts that Hobie just fuckin’ rules.
From the get-go he’s supportive of Miles, and he’s the first Spider to explicitly call out that Miguel’s methods are cruel and wrong. Hobie’s relationship to the Spider-Society is friends first rather than a commitment to Miguel’s ideals, and the second Miguel goes on the offensive against Miles he makes his move to rebel and peace out. Without Hobie, Gwen wouldn’t have the chance to form her own cell at the end of the movie—he’s vital to the story’s teenage rebellions.
Also, he’s just like, so cool. You saw the way everything about him moves right? Incredible. What a picture.
