“Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go. Nah, Im’ma do my own thing.”

From: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Genre: Movies

Who said it?: Miles Morales

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the CGI animated superhero film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Based on the Marvel superhero, The second entry in the Spider-Verse series of movies by Sony, this film has Miles Morales run into the Spider Society, a group of superheroes from all over the multiverse who have spider based powers just like him.

The quote comes during the end of the second act of the film. The leader of the Spider Society, Miguel O’Hara, trying to stop Miles from returning to his own timeline to prevent his father’s death. Miguel claims he has to let his father die as this is a “canon” event and preventing it will result in his timeline’s destruction. Miles (voiced by Shameik Moore), tired of being told what to do, delivers the quote before fighting off Miguel.

Geek Wisdom: While it’s okay to listen to other people when they tell you what they think is best for you, it’s still going to be your choice. It’s your life and you are ultimately responsible for it.

“Everybody gets one.”

From: Family Guy

Genre: Television, Cartoons

Who said it?: “Spider-Man”

The story behind the quote: The quote comes from the extremely popular cartoon Family Guy. Fun fact: the show was initially cancelled after three seasons due to poor ratings. However, after the show started being aired on Cartoon Network and DVD sales went through the roof, Fox quickly pushed through with a new season… four years after it was initially cancelled.

The quote is actually uttered a couple of times throughout the series but is always said by the Family Guy version of Spider-Man. However, in both times, it involves someone falling from a great height only for the person plummeting down to be caught in a spider web. The person who was saved will thank Spider-Man before the Marvel superhero delivers the quote.

Geek wisdom: You can’t expect for people to save you all the time. While there are going to be times when people will come to your rescue in your time of need, you can’t always expect this to happen. Sometimes, you have to take action and save yourself.
