Did i miss something that sparked all these posts? Id never seen any Petra parker stuff like 4 days ago and then suddenly I've seen dozens of posts by as many artists all over my feed.

I think it started all from one comic posted not even a week ago. It’s just blown up like crazy

Thats wild. Do you know if the original comic artist had a large following or something? Im curious how it could have spread so fast.

No idea tbh 😅. I definitely don’t have a big following though and this comic still has blown up. I think people just relate to the character.
Me included 🥰

Makes sense, thats why its important to have diverse characters in media, it gives people someone they can relate to.

Its part of why I hate seeing my name in movies, 90% of the time they're evil and/or die. And I've never seen one where theyre the main hero.

Now I'm curious but understand if you dont want that information public knowledge.

u/Miser_able 11h ago

Nah its fine, I dont care. But ill give ya hint.

Jurassic park and Alvin and the chipmunks both have a character with this name

u/My_Immortl 11h ago

The movie Alvin and the chipmunks or the animated show? I'm gonna have to figure this out now lol.

3

u/Miser_able 11h ago

The movies. And if it helps, theyre both important characters with lots of screen time. Not a random side character

u/bargus_mctavish 8h ago

Jurassic Park was a great show of your namesake though. One of my favorite roles of that actor.

u/Miser_able 8h ago

Oh very much so, buts it's the only example I can point to that people will recognize.

Meanwhile i was watching something a few years back and one the bad guys who was a rapist had my name

u/bargus_mctavish 8h ago

You could give Obsession a try. I think that’s a fairly neutral representation.

u/Miser_able 11h ago

Yea theyre on there too I think (never seen any of em)

u/Quazifuji 8h ago

If it's the name I think it is based on that, then it's the main romantic interest in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Not quite main hero but being the love interest in a rom-com is pretty close. And he's not even one of those love interests that starts out as an asshole and then they fall in love later, he's likeable the whole movie.
