I've said it before & I'll say it again: What makes me love this iconic performance is that at literally no point is the fact he is dancing/dressed femme played for a derogatory punchline. Like, he's having fun. The outfit fits. He's not hamming up the tired man-in-wig-haha-trope https://twitter.com/laurenthehough/status/1313147451126222850
I mean, look at those shoes. This man came to throw down with all the intensity he brought to Spider-Man, not make a jab at the expense of gender non-conforming folks.
It would have been so easy to come out in an overstuffed bra and bad makeup and totter around in high heels and reap a heap of cheap laughs while pretending to be embarrassed, but instead he probably practiced this routine for weeks and celebrated the finish like this.
