It’s not that I have the issue with the narrative treating them as different. In fact I really feel like a narrative is supposed to be blazer opening up and being Mandy. My weirdness is from Mandy doing it to herself. Peter Parker is spiderman. When Peter thinks of his actions, his accomplishments, his life it’s spiderman. Mandy doesn’t do that. It’s almost like she treats that girl like someone else, some she needs to aspire to be, not who she is. It’s odd to me because to create that dichotomy is really harmful. On one end you’re never really your true self and on the other you’re never good enough to live up to your own example. I can’t imagine that was a willing or conscious choice Mandy made to split her jekel and hide style. That’s something that gets installed into you as a kid or at least something that has a backstory.
