I'm very used to not seeing myself in media, and instead have to identify with whatever brand of bland white guy or white woman the main character happens to be as they sip coffee in a generic cafe and decide their act of minor rebellion. Or sometimes it's a highly specific person and life, but always presented in a "this is *their* life of suffering and confusion, not yours." But here comes Spiderverse, saying "this is Miles Morales and his family and his neighborhood and his friends and there are some good parts and bad parts and some funny parts, just like your life."
