i think we ALL need to appreciate the details of pavitr's spider suit
starting off with the fact that his web shooters are integrated into his bangles!
instead of the traditionally tight spider suit design, pavitr wears dhoti (loose pants commonly worn in india)
his suit is also showcases many intricate indian-style designs
his spider logo is SO beautiful
hair is also deeply rooted in indian culture, and we see pavitr's mask is open-headed to let his hair show
his mask is supposed to resemble theyyam face painting, which is worn in north kerala
(state in southwestern india)
in india, some people prefer being barefoot as a sense of being grounded to the earth's energy, as pavitr is here
i might be a littleeee biased, but i think pav has one of the coolest spider suits out there
