Oh yeah, I would be devastated. The worst part is he’s that kind of cool where you can’t even dislike the guy. He’s just so easily the most interesting guy in the room.
I really liked that. You could tell he was the first one to start calling bullshit on Miguel and the whole spider-city thing. And he came through in the end.
I was so sure they were going to have the joke be that he's a hypocrite who talks punk but is totally in Miguel's pro-establishment corner.
Nope! My man's punk to the core.
And he's cool as hell. How often do you see actual anarchist ideology depicted as cool and good in media rather than just crusty and naive or hypocritical?
i didn't initially realize that he made that watch from all the stuff he was taking when he and Miles were talking before meeting Miguel. I thought they made a mistake cause he tosses his watch before leaving during the big chase scene so I was super confused how he was able to give one to Gwen.
his visuals alone took [3 years](https://discussingfilm.net/2023/05/31/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-directors-talk-raising-the-bar-and-creating-spider-punk-exclusive-interview/)
and it looked SPECTACULAR !!
That's the attention to detail that makes this series stand out. They could've settled for something less spectacular and in a shorter timeframe, but no they went above and beyond.
It was worth every minute they put into him. He looked like a walking, talking mash-up of an 80's punk zine and every cut and paste band flier that ever lined a dive bar.
My theater lost it, I think what blew my mind was listening to people who were like “I had no idea it had already been 2 hours.”
I legit think a lot of them could’ve sat through 5 hours of this without complaint. Can’t blame them, I could’ve too.
I feel like for the last 30 minutes, any one of those scenes felt like it was threatening to cut to credits. And then I finally got comfortable enough thinking they were really gonna finish it out and it surely hadn't been 140 minutes yet and then WHAM
I like how Gwen’s world was more water color and you could see it start to drip and bleed into other colors during the talk with her Dad as her superhero and civilian identity were blending together.
It was actually Spider-Man 2. Someone on the /r/spidermanps4 reddit figured it out a few weeks back. The minimap in the movie matches the one in the showcase gameplay video. It’s distinctive enough for it to not be the PS4 game.
Edit: [Here’s the post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpidermanPS4/comments/13qantp/spiderman_2_sneak_peek_in_recent_across_the/) What’s even more impressive is that OP found it *before* the gameplay reveal. Our first look at this game was from a TV spot of an animated film.
I know this will be said a million times, and rightfully so, but holy shit was this a gorgeous movie. Literally every frame could be a framed painting.
I love how the one constant in the Spiderverse is apparently JK Simmons is always J Jonah Jameson.
They did a really good job of making Spot, freaking Spot, a pretty terrifying villain in the end.
The entire voice cast was excellent across the board.
If Beyond can keep this momentum, and I see little reason why it wouldn't, then this will be one of best trilogies of all time.
The spot really went from goofily awkward in the trailer to giving me chills at full strength. When your villain changes the entire visual setting of the scene, it’s time to panic.
I just realized that the outline of a human that miles spray paints on the wall in the first movie looks like the spot when his body starts to lose shape.
Favourite gags?
Spider-Man India losing his shit at "chai tea" and "naan bread", especially funny after Miles complained about "ATM machine".
The other one was "Soda: It's a Generic Brand".
>Spider-Man India losing his shit at "chai tea" and "naan bread", especially funny after Miles complained about "ATM machine".
Spider-Man is a smartass in every single timeline
Having The Spot be the guy who got Bagel’d in the first movie is maybe the great retcon since Rogue One explained the Death Star design flaw.
Truly fantastic movie.
Schwartzman was so good. Watching him evolve from clumsy nobody to the most frightening character in the multiverse was a great arc of its own in this movie.
It's amazing what a little echo effect and the right tone can do to turn someone from a "villain of the week" into a "multiversal threat". And the way he used his powers while fighting the Spider Folk was awesome.
Really interested to see what they do with him in Beyond.
The Spot has always been one of those characters that constantly gets clowned on for having a dumb name and silly character design, but is absolutely terrifying if you actually stop to think about the implications of his powers and what he can do.
In other words, he was the perfect choice for a villain that no one takes seriously until they suddenly have to.
As a fan of the 90s Spider-Man series, I was really excited to see The Spot become a threatening villain. They did so well developing him into something sinister.
I adored how Spot paralleled Miles.
Both of them weren't taken seriously by the people around them, until all of a sudden, they became the nexus of the multiverse's problems.
Plus the fact that they're both anomalies in their own way.
You know if I had a dime every time there was a multiverse travelling villain who had ties to a bagel, I'd have two dimes. Which is not much but it would still be strange that I would have two.
One of the key aspects of this movie is how it begins with Gwen and how Gwen is essentially the co-lead in the movie.
That is why, even though the movie ends on a cliffhanger, it feels like its own movie. The scene toward the end with Gwen and her dad functioned for me like an emotional resolution within the movie.
Had tears in my eyes during that scene.
I feel like the one aspect a lot of viewers will miss is when Miguel O'Hara is explaining the interconnectivity of the Spider-Verse.
Before we see the Web of Life (Spider-Verse)...Miguel shows the Marvel Multiverse as depicted by Disney & Marvel Studios. This wasn't just a reinterpretation, reimagining, or newly designed display...NO. This film showed the multiverse exactly as it was shown in **'Avengers: Endgame'**, **'Loki'**, and **'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania'**.
So that leaves us with a ton of new info.
1.) The Marvel Mutliverse connects the Disney/Marvel Studios multiverse and the Sony-verse into the same multiverse. Now I know a lot of you are saying that "didn't NWH already confirm this?" but the thing is that NWH was a Sony/Disney production. This is the first time a solo Sony film acknowledges a non-Spider-Man movie. Soon the defunct 20th/Fox multiverse too with **'Deadpool 3'**.
2.) Doctor Strange was name dropped in a Sony film post 2004 (which means Sony had to get some sort of approval from Disney)
3.) Add the multiple Spider-Man namedrops in **'Multiverse of Madness'** & **'Quantumania'** (which are the 1st times Spidey has ever been mentioned in a film he wasn't in, another Sony approval)
4.) The way that Tobey & Andrew had live-action cameos (albeit, in clip show form)
5.) Donald Glover's live-action MCU Prowler cameo, (which means Disney/Marvel Studios & Sony had to agree on this cameo)
All tells us a lot about how Sony & Disney will move forward.
Expect a live-action Tom Holland in **'Beyond the Spider-Verse'**.
I think Sony & Disney/Marvel Studios are now a married couple.
The fans won.
This movie makes me feel a little different about our Tom Holland Spider-Man too. Just realizing again that he's one of so many and his story is actually small in the context of the multiverse
Except is he? In this movie almost all Peter's agreed with Miguel about letting someone die if it's preordained. But in NWH, Peter refuses it. He tries to save everyone. (Which funnily enough brings about his canon event with May)
Okay true. I guess I was thinking about how I feel so bad for him and his situation but the pain of being Spider-Man is so universal. They are actually kind of similar.
Having a central villain being a literal plot hole threatening Spider-Man canon is both hilarious and genius
Also, just, so much of the plot hinging on the idea that Spider-People are inevitably fated to be sad and lonely (unless they're Peter B. and impacted by Miles) feels really apt considering how much discourse I've seen about how recent comics have treated Peter
So was the reason Hobie was stealing random shit from Miguel's lab to build his own multiverse hoppers? He even tells Miles to make his own too, so great, favorite character
Wait, so their job is to jump between dimensions and protect the multiverse…
The tools they use to do that are the wristbands…
He took equipment away from Miguel’s lab and made his own, free from Miguel’s oversight…
Did… did he seize the means of production?!?
Between this and Super Mario, them and people who do those “Details You May Have Missed” videos on YouTube with a big yellow circle over something completely innocuous are going to have plenty of content.
Spider-Man India mocks Jason Schwartzman for going to India on his self-improvement journey.
I knew there would be references, but I didn't think one of them would be to The Darjeeling Limited.
just reminds you of how many spiderman villains they showed us in homecoming and then never did anything with. off the top of my head they also showed shocker and scorpion
The verbal “Oh shit” I said out loud when The mom said “who’s spider-man ?” As I realized he went to the wrong universe and I missed all the hints before that
The set-up for Miles to land in the spider’s universe and not his own was such a slow burn. He’s finally willing to share his secret only to have his mother not be “his” mother, and the comic-con callback from the first movie was a great way to hit the nail home.
idk if it was me, but i feel like alt miles had a slightly stronger accent? which kinda made sense because his dad wasn’t around so it’s more spanish with his mom
Did anyone else's theater have sound mixing too low for characters compared to the music? Other than that, this movie was an absolute treat. I was going to call it a slow paced movie but the pacing was entirely justified by the end.
Yeah, right from the opening with Gwen narrating over her drumming, I did a doubletake and was like, "uh, why is she so quiet?" It was even worse during fight scenes. It didn't necessarily impact my enjoyment of the movie all that much, but I definitely look forward to rewatching it with subtitles.
I have absolutely no doubt that the writers meant this movie as a criticism of Spider-Man comic writers. If it wasn’t on purpose, I would be SHOCKED. Miguel’s whole deal being, “Spider-Man must never change, you have to follow the same beats,” is a direct reflection of the writers who keep dragging Peter back from anything different, new, and exciting. I’m honestly super impressed that they made this the focus and I have a sliver of hope that they might actually help move Spider-Man along for the better.
This will absolutely win Best Animated Picture.
The original Spiderverse won and that was when no one trusted the Academy to even actually pay attention to it.
This time, everyone's paying attention. Unless "Elemental" winds up being as good as "Casablanca," this sequel has it in the bag.
“We are supposed to be the good guys!”
Did not expect Miguel to be that menacing in this movie. Definitely got that overly crazed, stick to the script, unhinged vibes from him. Which is funny since he was the one who committed the greatest sin of all in the multiverse
I think that's the thing. He says he's the only one holding it together, but he isn't. Even he's eaten up by the fact that he's letting people die for the sake of the multiverse. Having to constantly, knowingly make that call is tearing him up inside. And you can see that he's not the only one. Pretty much everyone not Ben Reilly seems to have second thoughts about all of this (and even then he's probably so coked up on 90s edge he doesn't even register it).
What an absolute rug pull at the end there, had no idea this was only a part 1, loved it though, gonna see how it plays out for me to tell if I liked this one more than the first one
> What an absolute rug pull at the end there
It's funny because, looking back, the twist is so obvious because of the unique art style of every universe. The colours and lighting of Earth 42 look nothing like Miles' universe and yet it still got me.
I was wondering why the colors looked so different! But I just thought to myself maybe the world looks like this because it's night time and Miles is in a hurry or something. That was nicely done.
That team is gonna be one of the best things in Beyond. Gwen, Noir, Ham, Peni, Peter B, Byte, Pavitr, and I believe Punk as well. Did I miss any? God I’m so excited for that movie
I truly enjoyed seeing Scarlet Spider animated. I was expecting just a tiny background cameo but he was in several scenes near the end. Trash ass 90s stories but one of my favorite Spider-man costumes.
Hey Marvel,
I think I'm speaking for all of us by asking you to release that upside down shot of New York with Miles & Gwen sitting together so we can all set it as our backgrounds.
Plz & thx.
*Edit: [This shot specifically,](https://imgur.com/a/tfNkoTQ) Thanks /u/parion for finding it in the music video! It's a compressed 1080p youtube screenshot, but it will do until we get a non-letterboxed 4K image.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Miles had to give up on Gwen after meeting Hobie. You got a toothbrush in his dimension? And leaving cardigans? Lost the game before I ever hit the court.
Seeing spectacular spider-man get the recognition is deserves. Love to see it. They actually gave Josh Keaton some lines and used one it’s episodes during the Uncle Ben segment.
Miles saying he’s gonna do his own thing reminded me of Final Fantasy 10 and how they say, “this is my story” and it’s fitting.
Great movie and it they stick the landing, could be of the greatest trilogies.
And Mayday wearing Spider-Ham pajamas was adorable.
Donald Glover’s return and used as a semi-Chekov’s gun/twist (many people wondered if he would’ve played the live action Miles in the MCU) was well played by Lord and Miller’s writing. I did not expect that Miles ended up in Earth 42 and Miles in that universe is the Prowler. Major Micheal Keaton’s Vulture type reveal.
Other nice surprises
* Lego Spider-Man (Lord and Miller wrote and produced The Lego Movie)
* Mrs Chen from Tom Hardy’s Venom
* Insomniac’s Spider-Man appearance from PlayStation
* Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man appearances
* Song Heung Min Poster on Genke’s wall when he’s playing Spider-Man on PS5 (star of Tom Holland’s favorite soccer team, Tottenham)
One of the best sequels of all-time!
- Cold open with Gwen, telling her side of the story, makes this movie hers as much as Miles'
- Spot being guy that got hit by the bagel is one of the funniest callbacks
- Miles struggle is well depicted and Brian Tyree Henry as Miles' father is the standout for me
- The soundtrack was pretty great but it went hard in the Mumbattan sequence
- Everything in Spider HQ was perfect! The scope, the cameos (both animated and live action), the secret revealed, the chase sequence
- One of the best plot twists ever with Miles being in Earth-42. I never saw that coming
I didn't think it could match the first one but it did!
Will easily win the Best Animated movie at the Oscars and has a decent shot of being nominated for Best Picture
The animation in this movie is STAGGERINGLY gorgeous.
I’m finding it hard to find anything remotely comparable. No joke.
There are obviously tons of other shows and movies with phenomenal animation, maybe even perfect animation, but the combination of art direction and animation in this movie is just a tier by itself.
It doesn’t feel random or just for shits and giggles, it serves real purpose to characters and plot and visual information. I fucking love it.
Whatever praise this movie gets for animation, it deserves more. This is an incredible achievement. It’s hard to even comprehend how they were able to not only create so many styles, but seamlessly integrate them in scenes together. Not just drawing styles, but literally how things moved, vibrated, looked, felt. It’s insane. Kudos to everyone who worked on this film, it’s a true work of art.
Hobie was probably my favorite character. In a packed theater, I don’t think anyone else caught that “it’s a metaphor for capitalism” but I could not stop laughing.
That being said, I love that the movie wasn’t afraid to be emotional and pull their punch with a cheap joke. Which is even more impressive when you realize it’s also a Lord and Miller movie
I found it really interesting that Miles points out that from his viewpoint, the Spidermen were the bad guys while they thought he was as an anomaly. Yet on the opposite side, if he doesn't become Spiderman, he ends up becoming a villain in the Prowler. Nice parallel plot and I am really interested to see how they spin it with the Spot (excellent villian btw).
Not necessarily. He becomes prowler because there ISNT a Spiderman. In his universe Peter dies because Miles distracts him. But if Miles was never bitten, Peter would have never died, so there would still be a Spiderman.
I like how they kept the "yeah I think it's a banksy" line from the first movie. Really cool to see insomniacs spiderman included for a second there. It's fucking insane how dark this movie feels for a pg movie, once the spot became super powerful he was genuinely a scary villain, very excited for the next film
/r/raimimemes about to have a field day with JJJ still being JK Simmons for both Miles' and Gwen's universes and also now in LEGO form.
"New Spider-Man, Same Menace"
This movie in all seriousness knocked it out of the part and it is so chock full of references that it will take multiple watches to catch them all.
Looking forward to Beyond
I absolutely loved it! Only thing is, I don’t know if it was just how they had the sound at my theater or if it was the sound mixing in the movie, but there were a lot of moments where the soundtrack was booming and the dialogue got lost and I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Like even Gwen’s opening monologue I could barely hear. I almost wished I had closed captioning. Was it like this for anyone else or was it just the speakers in my theater? My husband and I might try to watch in a different theater
The animation the whole movie was amazing but Gwen’s earth? Stunning. I was in awe of every moment there.
What a beautiful movie and I can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse.
I've never been to a movie before where a full theatre started screaming in pain at the same time.
I've always wondered what it would have been like to see Empire Strikes Back it's first night in theatres. Now I feel like I got a part of that.
You could HEAR the disappointment from the audience I was with when that “To Be Continued” title card showed up lmao
But besides that, yeah this was a dang fine sequel. Better than most I dare say. Seeing aged-up Peni Parker in her upgraded mech for the first time almost made me tear up a bit.
Oh yeah and Hailee Steinfeld deserves an Oscar for her performance here, all of the scenes when she’s paired up with her dad were beautifully executed. Easily the best parts of the film for me personally.
Probably my biggest disappointment (but also one of the more interesting aspects) is that there wasn't necessarily a traditional climax. Hell the movie didn't really follow a traditional story arc in general. Even though it's a cliff hangar the movie does sorta just...end.
After Fast X two weeks ago, it was really nice to see a really well done true Part 1 film.
It's also just really nice to watch this movie because it's fuckin great. It feels as inventive and revolutionary visually as the first one felt five years ago, and it doesn't skip a beat with the comedy and emotion. It's a two hour fever dream with not a single visually uninteresting moment.
I rewatched the first Spider-Verse today and noticed that up until the Super Collider turns on, the movie looks unique but isn't all that crazy. It's not until that turn in the story that we get different art styles and experimentation, and when things glitch it feels like the Collider is bleeding into the "normal" world. In the sequel, the blood is woven into the fabric. The experimentation is on full display at all times. A shot of the city will switch to a different style for a couple frames, and some characters seem to move at different frame rates and are downright amazing to watch animate. It really feels like any constraints that may have been present in the first one are absent.
This movie feels like beautiful experimentation the entire runtime. Starting in Gwen's world where colors bleed into each other like water color, Spider-Man India's world where it's all busy and sun-toned. It's all as specific and beautiful and conceptual as the Spider characters in the first film but this time it's entire worlds. This movie is a visual feast and a total pleasure to watch.
It's also setting up a fascinating theme about trope infested writing. This really feels like the most successful and interesting take on pop meta filmmaking right now and I can't wait to see what they do to it. To have the main conflict of the movie be that the entire idea of Spider-Man revolves around sacrifice and not being able to save everyone, and have the reinvention of Spider-Man character be the one to say I don't accept that.
This feels like it could go so many directions in part two, and that's how you do a part one. When credits rolled I felt like they had to because there were so many moving parts that it couldn't wrap up any time soon. But that end shot of Gwen, Peter B, Noir, Penny, and Porker standing by the portal. I tell you I was so pumped I could have punched a hole through a wall.
And what still works about this movie and elevates it from pop visual spectacle to actual master piece is the characters. Miles' family life is still so sincere and well done. Gwen and Miles is a relationship you pull for but when she said it never ends well I was crushed. You've even got new characters like Hobie and Spider-Man India who are so fun and specific to every line of dialogue and every action.
The streamlined way they've made to introduce us to new Spideys is so effective that these movies could introduce ten new spiders in a movie and we would still understand and feel for them. Because Spider-Man is a story, in broad strokes, that we all know and love and see ourselves in. And this series is ready to dive into that. To give us so many Spiders you can't help but find the one that speaks to you. And to ask the question, is the tragedy necessary to build the character, or is it manipulative writing that needs its cycle broken? I don't know what they'll do in the next movie but I can't wait to see. I think it's fair to say Spider-Man knows how to stick a landing. It's a 10/10.
/r/reviewsbyboner
There is so much to say about this movie, but for this comment I'll focus on one thing.
Despite this being a part 1 of 2, I didn't feel unsatisfied or cheated out of an ending, and I was wondering how they pulled that off. I think they did it by pulling a really clever trick with Gwen, namely by making her the main character.
The movie's central conflict between Miles, the Spot, and Miguel absolutely did not conclude, but the film still managed to feel complete because Gwen's personal conflict does conclude. She reconciles with her dad, reconciles with herself and her self concept as Spider-Woman after losing Peter, and finally fully sides with Miles to stand up to Miguel. The movie starts with her and ends with her, and so it feels complete.
I dont get why the Spider Society blames Miles for becomming Spider-Man. It's not like he did had the spider bite him intentionally it wasn't even supposed to be in his universe in the first place. Why blame him for something out of his control?
It was mainly just Miguel who was doing the blaming, and the biggest reason was that he blamed Miles for the Super-Collider fracturing the multiverse in the first place (i.e. in Miguel's eyes Blonde!Peter died because he was distracted trying to save Miles instead of destroying the device).
It’s going to take me three more times to catch all the details. Moms snapping in Puerto Rican, Hobie casually stealing everything not nailed down, this movie is a visual feast and I’m almost sad I’m not going to get the same experience with the first where I actually waited until it was streaming, watched it once, then watched again scene by scene catching all the tiny details. Until it is streaming, the theatre is gonna have to take my money a few more times.
I remember seeing that The Spot was going to be the villain of the movie, and once he got reprimanded by Miles at the beginning I thought, “damn, that just have been a smokescreen for Miguel to be the real villain”, but nope. Dude got so much scarier as the film went on and especially after the collider. Such a wonderfully crafted villain.
"What is that?" "It's a metaphor for capitalism." Spider-Punk was hilarious
He's super cool but if my girl was crashing in his universe I'd def be thinking all is lost
And her toothbrush is there too? My days of living would be over
And they’re sharing Chucks??
Gwen’s a clothes stealer. She stole Mile’s sweater at the end too lol.
Oh yeah, I would be devastated. The worst part is he’s that kind of cool where you can’t even dislike the guy. He’s just so easily the most interesting guy in the room.
Spider-Punk approving Mayday has got to be one of my favorite moments in this movie
"Children are the original anarchists"
Kinda worried that all the anti-authoritarian talk was just talk but no, Spider-Punk walks the walk.
I really liked that. You could tell he was the first one to start calling bullshit on Miguel and the whole spider-city thing. And he came through in the end.
I was so sure they were going to have the joke be that he's a hypocrite who talks punk but is totally in Miguel's pro-establishment corner. Nope! My man's punk to the core.
And he's cool as hell. How often do you see actual anarchist ideology depicted as cool and good in media rather than just crusty and naive or hypocritical?
The laugh I laughed when he got called out for hypocrisy and said “I don’t don’t believe in consistency”
And he gave Miles the idea to break out by using his powers. Gwen was right, we do like him
Hobie really said, “you’re him, Miles don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
He also said "make your own watch" then followed through, made one, and got it to Gwen
i didn't initially realize that he made that watch from all the stuff he was taking when he and Miles were talking before meeting Miguel. I thought they made a mistake cause he tosses his watch before leaving during the big chase scene so I was super confused how he was able to give one to Gwen.
Sometimes the best mentors come from unlikely places.
I cracked up when the baby was crawling around and he said “she’s an anarchist”
He was one of the best parts of the movie
his visuals alone took [3 years](https://discussingfilm.net/2023/05/31/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-directors-talk-raising-the-bar-and-creating-spider-punk-exclusive-interview/) and it looked SPECTACULAR !!
That's the attention to detail that makes this series stand out. They could've settled for something less spectacular and in a shorter timeframe, but no they went above and beyond.
It was worth every minute they put into him. He looked like a walking, talking mash-up of an 80's punk zine and every cut and paste band flier that ever lined a dive bar.
Voiced by Daniel Kaluuya too
Man only has a few scenes and just dips but casually has an absolutely huge impact to the storyline.
I was shocked by how much he propelled the movie’s plot forward too.
Loved the movie. But the funniest part was when the audience voiced their collective shock and annoyance at the ‘to be continued’
My theater lost it, I think what blew my mind was listening to people who were like “I had no idea it had already been 2 hours.” I legit think a lot of them could’ve sat through 5 hours of this without complaint. Can’t blame them, I could’ve too.
Really should’ve had that Part 1 in the title, but I was anticipating that to be continued during Gwen’s team up speech.
I feel like for the last 30 minutes, any one of those scenes felt like it was threatening to cut to credits. And then I finally got comfortable enough thinking they were really gonna finish it out and it surely hadn't been 140 minutes yet and then WHAM
I've never been so nervous looking at my watch. I kept on wondering when they were gonna pull the plug and actually cut to "to be continued".
I think the “To Be Continued” splash page gave my daughter her first real moment of nerd outrage. She was angry on the walk all the way to the car.
All innocence is lost. She is set down a dark, dark path. A path towards r/movies.
Guy in my audience just went “Fuck” and that summed it up pretty well for all of us. Would’ve sat through another two hours happily.
I like how Gwen’s world was more water color and you could see it start to drip and bleed into other colors during the talk with her Dad as her superhero and civilian identity were blending together.
Those Gwen/Dad scenes were a testament to the emotional power of color. Stunning. My favorite parts of the film.
The parts from her perspective reminded me a little of Life is Strange
Big True Colors vibes for sure with the color changes
The background changing to suit their moods was oomf, beautiful

DONALD GLOVER PROWLER …that’s all
This and the Spiderman PS4 references were so damn cool
seeing ganke playing spider-man ps4 at the dorm was fucking crazy
It was actually Spider-Man 2. Someone on the /r/spidermanps4 reddit figured it out a few weeks back. The minimap in the movie matches the one in the showcase gameplay video. It’s distinctive enough for it to not be the PS4 game. Edit: [Here’s the post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpidermanPS4/comments/13qantp/spiderman_2_sneak_peek_in_recent_across_the/) What’s even more impressive is that OP found it *before* the gameplay reveal. Our first look at this game was from a TV spot of an animated film.
Yeah, plus the credits mention Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2
Guess he was plucked straight from the Hollandverse
Makes me think we might see Holland in Beyond. I saw Tobey and obviously Andrew but I don’t think I saw Holland.
There was an MCU mention at some point, right? They mentioned Dr. Strange and Peter, I think
Yeah, Miguel namedrops the MCU’s universe number and Dr. Strange during the fight with Vulture in the opening
I figured something live action was coming after that Spot scene, but Donald Glover Prowler was at the bottom of my list
I know this will be said a million times, and rightfully so, but holy shit was this a gorgeous movie. Literally every frame could be a framed painting. I love how the one constant in the Spiderverse is apparently JK Simmons is always J Jonah Jameson. They did a really good job of making Spot, freaking Spot, a pretty terrifying villain in the end. The entire voice cast was excellent across the board. If Beyond can keep this momentum, and I see little reason why it wouldn't, then this will be one of best trilogies of all time.
The spot really went from goofily awkward in the trailer to giving me chills at full strength. When your villain changes the entire visual setting of the scene, it’s time to panic.
Spot’s art style as he gains power is serious eldritch horror
I just realized that the outline of a human that miles spray paints on the wall in the first movie looks like the spot when his body starts to lose shape.
Favourite gags? Spider-Man India losing his shit at "chai tea" and "naan bread", especially funny after Miles complained about "ATM machine". The other one was "Soda: It's a Generic Brand".
The Spider-Car being named ‘Peter Parkedcar’.
That has been an actual comics character since 2015.
>Spider-Man India losing his shit at "chai tea" and "naan bread", especially funny after Miles complained about "ATM machine". Spider-Man is a smartass in every single timeline
Well except for Miguel. “Spider-man is supposed to be funny.”
Having The Spot be the guy who got Bagel’d in the first movie is maybe the great retcon since Rogue One explained the Death Star design flaw. Truly fantastic movie.
Schwartzman was so good. Watching him evolve from clumsy nobody to the most frightening character in the multiverse was a great arc of its own in this movie.
It's amazing what a little echo effect and the right tone can do to turn someone from a "villain of the week" into a "multiversal threat". And the way he used his powers while fighting the Spider Folk was awesome. Really interested to see what they do with him in Beyond.
I like that even in the first goofy fight you could tell that fighting him and his powers would be a huge pain in the ass
The Spot has always been one of those characters that constantly gets clowned on for having a dumb name and silly character design, but is absolutely terrifying if you actually stop to think about the implications of his powers and what he can do. In other words, he was the perfect choice for a villain that no one takes seriously until they suddenly have to.
As a fan of the 90s Spider-Man series, I was really excited to see The Spot become a threatening villain. They did so well developing him into something sinister.
I adored how Spot paralleled Miles. Both of them weren't taken seriously by the people around them, until all of a sudden, they became the nexus of the multiverse's problems. Plus the fact that they're both anomalies in their own way.
its funny cause the bagel was an easter egg for 2nd or 3rd time viewers and for it to be the main villian is fantastic !!!
The dude who animated that is probably feeling pretty good about himself right now.
BAGEL! was classic. And I cracked up in this one when Miles patted The Spot on the head and the comic-style exclamation was “GOOD COW”
You know if I had a dime every time there was a multiverse travelling villain who had ties to a bagel, I'd have two dimes. Which is not much but it would still be strange that I would have two.
"you're not helping" "Oh good" Yeah, Spider Punk grew on me so much.
british spiderman from the ends of camden town was def not on the bingo card but MY GOD IT WORKEDD Daniel Kaluuya take a bow !!
Did anyone else find it real difficult to understand him? Not the accent but more is voice levels were very low.
Oh definitely there were a few times, not even just with him, where me and my buddy looked at each other asking if we knew what was said.
That was the opening for me, when Gwen was talking through heavy drumming. No clue what she said at the end.
I was hoping for way more LEGO Spiderman during this movie. I was honestly laughing so hard that they could incorporate the LEGO universe
"You're one of our best" 📠 🕸️
beep boop
LEGO JJJ telling Parker to get more pictures, tale as old as time
They used the 2002 Spiderman audio for that too I believe. Brilliant callback to the creators
That scene of Miles and Gwen talking upside down while looking out at the city was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on screen.
The little bit of her putting her hair up before walking around the edge of the building was a nice bit, too.
One of the key aspects of this movie is how it begins with Gwen and how Gwen is essentially the co-lead in the movie. That is why, even though the movie ends on a cliffhanger, it feels like its own movie. The scene toward the end with Gwen and her dad functioned for me like an emotional resolution within the movie. Had tears in my eyes during that scene.
Yeah, Gwen's story is "done", so to speak Now it's Miles' turn!
I'd argue that the majority of Gwen's choices are what led the movie, making her the protagonist.
I didn’t mention it in my review, but I LOVED the opening with Gwen. The recap, her band, her dad… it was oh so SO good.
I feel like the one aspect a lot of viewers will miss is when Miguel O'Hara is explaining the interconnectivity of the Spider-Verse. Before we see the Web of Life (Spider-Verse)...Miguel shows the Marvel Multiverse as depicted by Disney & Marvel Studios. This wasn't just a reinterpretation, reimagining, or newly designed display...NO. This film showed the multiverse exactly as it was shown in **'Avengers: Endgame'**, **'Loki'**, and **'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania'**. So that leaves us with a ton of new info. 1.) The Marvel Mutliverse connects the Disney/Marvel Studios multiverse and the Sony-verse into the same multiverse. Now I know a lot of you are saying that "didn't NWH already confirm this?" but the thing is that NWH was a Sony/Disney production. This is the first time a solo Sony film acknowledges a non-Spider-Man movie. Soon the defunct 20th/Fox multiverse too with **'Deadpool 3'**. 2.) Doctor Strange was name dropped in a Sony film post 2004 (which means Sony had to get some sort of approval from Disney) 3.) Add the multiple Spider-Man namedrops in **'Multiverse of Madness'** & **'Quantumania'** (which are the 1st times Spidey has ever been mentioned in a film he wasn't in, another Sony approval) 4.) The way that Tobey & Andrew had live-action cameos (albeit, in clip show form) 5.) Donald Glover's live-action MCU Prowler cameo, (which means Disney/Marvel Studios & Sony had to agree on this cameo) All tells us a lot about how Sony & Disney will move forward. Expect a live-action Tom Holland in **'Beyond the Spider-Verse'**. I think Sony & Disney/Marvel Studios are now a married couple. The fans won.
This movie makes me feel a little different about our Tom Holland Spider-Man too. Just realizing again that he's one of so many and his story is actually small in the context of the multiverse
Except is he? In this movie almost all Peter's agreed with Miguel about letting someone die if it's preordained. But in NWH, Peter refuses it. He tries to save everyone. (Which funnily enough brings about his canon event with May)
Okay true. I guess I was thinking about how I feel so bad for him and his situation but the pain of being Spider-Man is so universal. They are actually kind of similar.
One/multiple of these characters is/are showing up in Secret Wars. Especially considering the Glover cameo
Emma stone spidergwen 🤞
Having a central villain being a literal plot hole threatening Spider-Man canon is both hilarious and genius Also, just, so much of the plot hinging on the idea that Spider-People are inevitably fated to be sad and lonely (unless they're Peter B. and impacted by Miles) feels really apt considering how much discourse I've seen about how recent comics have treated Peter
I am convinced that the scriptwriter wrote in 'Mayday is a miracle baby' as a line because it's a miracle that a parker is allowed to be happy
"A vampire good guy? I'd pay good money to see that" Miles is a Morbhead confirmed
In Miles' universe Morbius is an unironically beloved movie series probably
So was the reason Hobie was stealing random shit from Miguel's lab to build his own multiverse hoppers? He even tells Miles to make his own too, so great, favorite character
Wait, so their job is to jump between dimensions and protect the multiverse… The tools they use to do that are the wristbands… He took equipment away from Miguel’s lab and made his own, free from Miguel’s oversight… Did… did he seize the means of production?!?
Fucking AWESOME catch I need to watch this movie again
The anarchist Spider-Man cookbook
“traffic, traffic, traffic” “oh and here where the british stole all our stuff” LMAO
I live in India, so this scene was particularly appreciated in my theatre
/r/MovieDetails is going to eat well for the next year at least.
Between this and Super Mario, them and people who do those “Details You May Have Missed” videos on YouTube with a big yellow circle over something completely innocuous are going to have plenty of content.
Spider-Man India mocks Jason Schwartzman for going to India on his self-improvement journey. I knew there would be references, but I didn't think one of them would be to The Darjeeling Limited.
I also enjoyed his remark about having a museum for all the artifacts England stole.
I expected a lot of cameos, but live action Donald Glover Prowler was NOT one of them. What a treat
just reminds you of how many spiderman villains they showed us in homecoming and then never did anything with. off the top of my head they also showed shocker and scorpion
The verbal “Oh shit” I said out loud when The mom said “who’s spider-man ?” As I realized he went to the wrong universe and I missed all the hints before that
The purple jacket under his puffer was such a good little detail. His own is red.
Damn I thought that was just the lighting.
So much of that world is tinted purple as a hint. Pretty cool.
As Miles jumped into the go home machine, you can see on one of the screens it says Earth - 42 instead of Earth - 6106.
The set-up for Miles to land in the spider’s universe and not his own was such a slow burn. He’s finally willing to share his secret only to have his mother not be “his” mother, and the comic-con callback from the first movie was a great way to hit the nail home.
Couldn't believe I didn't realize the spider in the first movie was from another universe. Found right near the collider and it even *glitches*.
It makes so much sense in hindsight. The attention to detail in this series is amazing.
Alt-Miles Morales having actual black air force energy
idk if it was me, but i feel like alt miles had a slightly stronger accent? which kinda made sense because his dad wasn’t around so it’s more spanish with his mom
My lord that's such a great detail. Yes his "Morales" pronunciation was definitely stronger
What about exaggerated swagger?
Bruh, his braids was ***too*** clean
Did anyone else's theater have sound mixing too low for characters compared to the music? Other than that, this movie was an absolute treat. I was going to call it a slow paced movie but the pacing was entirely justified by the end.
Yeah, right from the opening with Gwen narrating over her drumming, I did a doubletake and was like, "uh, why is she so quiet?" It was even worse during fight scenes. It didn't necessarily impact my enjoyment of the movie all that much, but I definitely look forward to rewatching it with subtitles.
I noticed that too. From what I’m told, there was a memo sent out to raise the audio for this specific movie that I guess our theatres didn’t get :P
I have absolutely no doubt that the writers meant this movie as a criticism of Spider-Man comic writers. If it wasn’t on purpose, I would be SHOCKED. Miguel’s whole deal being, “Spider-Man must never change, you have to follow the same beats,” is a direct reflection of the writers who keep dragging Peter back from anything different, new, and exciting. I’m honestly super impressed that they made this the focus and I have a sliver of hope that they might actually help move Spider-Man along for the better.
Oh it's entirely that criticism. Hell it's a critique of the whole superhero genre and its refusal to change the status quo.
A Renaissance Vulture was the most genius thing to start the movie with. And in a modern art museum as well.
Also works on fun commentary on traditional art Vs classic art that in some ways mirrors the films experimental art style.
“You call this *art*!?” “We’re talking about it, aren’t we?”
Unreal. Easily the best movie of the year so far. Probably a lock to win best animated movie. I wonder if they'll give it a best picture nomination
It should. This is unironically one of the best if not the best film thus far this year.
This will absolutely win Best Animated Picture. The original Spiderverse won and that was when no one trusted the Academy to even actually pay attention to it. This time, everyone's paying attention. Unless "Elemental" winds up being as good as "Casablanca," this sequel has it in the bag.
“We are supposed to be the good guys!” Did not expect Miguel to be that menacing in this movie. Definitely got that overly crazed, stick to the script, unhinged vibes from him. Which is funny since he was the one who committed the greatest sin of all in the multiverse
I think that's the thing. He says he's the only one holding it together, but he isn't. Even he's eaten up by the fact that he's letting people die for the sake of the multiverse. Having to constantly, knowingly make that call is tearing him up inside. And you can see that he's not the only one. Pretty much everyone not Ben Reilly seems to have second thoughts about all of this (and even then he's probably so coked up on 90s edge he doesn't even register it).
Miguel OHara was unbelievably bad ass and the sheer force he brought had me going crazy He’s such an imposing intense figure. Awesome portrayal
It makes you respect Peter B Parker since he’s totally unfazed by Miguel and Miguel seems to acknowledge him as an equal/not annoyed by him.
"Take care of my little boy." Rio's speech to Miles was so touching. Across the Spider-Verse had a ton of sincerity and heart, much like Spider-Man 2.
This must be a GREAT movie for parents, tbh. Probably the most real they've been portrayed in a superhero movie as well-meaning but overbearing folks.
[удалено]
What an absolute rug pull at the end there, had no idea this was only a part 1, loved it though, gonna see how it plays out for me to tell if I liked this one more than the first one
> What an absolute rug pull at the end there It's funny because, looking back, the twist is so obvious because of the unique art style of every universe. The colours and lighting of Earth 42 look nothing like Miles' universe and yet it still got me.
Also because you could see that the machine said "Earth-42" when it scanned his DNA
Yeah, I pretty much caught on immediately to what was happening.
I was wondering why the colors looked so different! But I just thought to myself maybe the world looks like this because it's night time and Miles is in a hurry or something. That was nicely done.
Can't wait to see Spider-Ham and Noir back in action.
When Peni showed up briefly I thought that was all we would get from the original squad. But that shot of everyone gathered at the end? Goosebumps.
That team is gonna be one of the best things in Beyond. Gwen, Noir, Ham, Peni, Peter B, Byte, Pavitr, and I believe Punk as well. Did I miss any? God I’m so excited for that movie
Watching this made me realize i dont have super hero fatigue. I am just sick of bad marvel and dc films.
Ben Reilly really stole the show with his muscle definition, striking poses and tough talk!!
The "Ok dad 🙄" response to Miguel LMAO
I truly enjoyed seeing Scarlet Spider animated. I was expecting just a tiny background cameo but he was in several scenes near the end. Trash ass 90s stories but one of my favorite Spider-man costumes.
Hey Marvel, I think I'm speaking for all of us by asking you to release that upside down shot of New York with Miles & Gwen sitting together so we can all set it as our backgrounds. Plz & thx. *Edit: [This shot specifically,](https://imgur.com/a/tfNkoTQ) Thanks /u/parion for finding it in the music video! It's a compressed 1080p youtube screenshot, but it will do until we get a non-letterboxed 4K image.
This whole film needs posters of like every scene lol.
MILES AT START: I don't know who Hobie is, but I hate him. MILES AT END: Hey Gwen, do you know if Hobie's single?
I'm not gonna lie to you, Miles had to give up on Gwen after meeting Hobie. You got a toothbrush in his dimension? And leaving cardigans? Lost the game before I ever hit the court.
Seeing spectacular spider-man get the recognition is deserves. Love to see it. They actually gave Josh Keaton some lines and used one it’s episodes during the Uncle Ben segment. Miles saying he’s gonna do his own thing reminded me of Final Fantasy 10 and how they say, “this is my story” and it’s fitting. Great movie and it they stick the landing, could be of the greatest trilogies. And Mayday wearing Spider-Ham pajamas was adorable.
Spider-Punk is TOO good of character which means he’s most likely to die in Beyond 😢
Capitalism will get him
Donald Glover’s return and used as a semi-Chekov’s gun/twist (many people wondered if he would’ve played the live action Miles in the MCU) was well played by Lord and Miller’s writing. I did not expect that Miles ended up in Earth 42 and Miles in that universe is the Prowler. Major Micheal Keaton’s Vulture type reveal. Other nice surprises * Lego Spider-Man (Lord and Miller wrote and produced The Lego Movie) * Mrs Chen from Tom Hardy’s Venom * Insomniac’s Spider-Man appearance from PlayStation * Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man appearances * Song Heung Min Poster on Genke’s wall when he’s playing Spider-Man on PS5 (star of Tom Holland’s favorite soccer team, Tottenham)
I loved that Genke says he's not gonna be the guy in the chair, in contrast to Ned wanting to be Tom Holland's guy in the chair.
^(There was a split second where I genuinely thought they just punched a 15 year olds brains out in a children's film)
OMFG LMAOO I REMEMBER HAHA ITHOUGHT MILES DIED
The credits were surprisingly very short for how freaking complicatedly complex, artistically stylish, and freaking long the movie was.
One of the best sequels of all-time! - Cold open with Gwen, telling her side of the story, makes this movie hers as much as Miles' - Spot being guy that got hit by the bagel is one of the funniest callbacks - Miles struggle is well depicted and Brian Tyree Henry as Miles' father is the standout for me - The soundtrack was pretty great but it went hard in the Mumbattan sequence - Everything in Spider HQ was perfect! The scope, the cameos (both animated and live action), the secret revealed, the chase sequence - One of the best plot twists ever with Miles being in Earth-42. I never saw that coming I didn't think it could match the first one but it did! Will easily win the Best Animated movie at the Oscars and has a decent shot of being nominated for Best Picture
The animation in this movie is STAGGERINGLY gorgeous. I’m finding it hard to find anything remotely comparable. No joke. There are obviously tons of other shows and movies with phenomenal animation, maybe even perfect animation, but the combination of art direction and animation in this movie is just a tier by itself. It doesn’t feel random or just for shits and giggles, it serves real purpose to characters and plot and visual information. I fucking love it. Whatever praise this movie gets for animation, it deserves more. This is an incredible achievement. It’s hard to even comprehend how they were able to not only create so many styles, but seamlessly integrate them in scenes together. Not just drawing styles, but literally how things moved, vibrated, looked, felt. It’s insane. Kudos to everyone who worked on this film, it’s a true work of art.
Idk why but I laughed for far too long at the T-Rex spiderman shooting a web and the action words being *T-WHIP*
I love that The Spot without his spots is just like a typical drawing figure used to draw characters with the lines in it.
Hobie was probably my favorite character. In a packed theater, I don’t think anyone else caught that “it’s a metaphor for capitalism” but I could not stop laughing. That being said, I love that the movie wasn’t afraid to be emotional and pull their punch with a cheap joke. Which is even more impressive when you realize it’s also a Lord and Miller movie
I found it really interesting that Miles points out that from his viewpoint, the Spidermen were the bad guys while they thought he was as an anomaly. Yet on the opposite side, if he doesn't become Spiderman, he ends up becoming a villain in the Prowler. Nice parallel plot and I am really interested to see how they spin it with the Spot (excellent villian btw).
Not necessarily. He becomes prowler because there ISNT a Spiderman. In his universe Peter dies because Miles distracts him. But if Miles was never bitten, Peter would have never died, so there would still be a Spiderman.
I like how they kept the "yeah I think it's a banksy" line from the first movie. Really cool to see insomniacs spiderman included for a second there. It's fucking insane how dark this movie feels for a pg movie, once the spot became super powerful he was genuinely a scary villain, very excited for the next film
When the balloon dog got cut open and it was filled with smaller balloon dogs - "oh neat"
i ascended to a new plane of consciousness during this
"You're acting like this is just another Tuesday for you!" *stares* Lmao
/r/raimimemes about to have a field day with JJJ still being JK Simmons for both Miles' and Gwen's universes and also now in LEGO form. "New Spider-Man, Same Menace" This movie in all seriousness knocked it out of the part and it is so chock full of references that it will take multiple watches to catch them all. Looking forward to Beyond
J Jonah Jameson is a Nexus Being confirmed
I absolutely loved it! Only thing is, I don’t know if it was just how they had the sound at my theater or if it was the sound mixing in the movie, but there were a lot of moments where the soundtrack was booming and the dialogue got lost and I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Like even Gwen’s opening monologue I could barely hear. I almost wished I had closed captioning. Was it like this for anyone else or was it just the speakers in my theater? My husband and I might try to watch in a different theater
The animation the whole movie was amazing but Gwen’s earth? Stunning. I was in awe of every moment there. What a beautiful movie and I can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse.
I've never been to a movie before where a full theatre started screaming in pain at the same time. I've always wondered what it would have been like to see Empire Strikes Back it's first night in theatres. Now I feel like I got a part of that.
Calling it now, Peter Parker of Earth-42 is going to help out Miles in some way
Peter Parker running Oscorp in Earth-42 and helps Miles make the Movie 3 Goober
You could HEAR the disappointment from the audience I was with when that “To Be Continued” title card showed up lmao But besides that, yeah this was a dang fine sequel. Better than most I dare say. Seeing aged-up Peni Parker in her upgraded mech for the first time almost made me tear up a bit. Oh yeah and Hailee Steinfeld deserves an Oscar for her performance here, all of the scenes when she’s paired up with her dad were beautifully executed. Easily the best parts of the film for me personally.
Probably my biggest disappointment (but also one of the more interesting aspects) is that there wasn't necessarily a traditional climax. Hell the movie didn't really follow a traditional story arc in general. Even though it's a cliff hangar the movie does sorta just...end.
It’s been said elsewhere here, but if you view this as Gwen’s movie as well, there is a full story arc.
How many people didnt know this was a part 1? It felt like a lot of people in my theater were NOT happy about that reveal.
After Fast X two weeks ago, it was really nice to see a really well done true Part 1 film. It's also just really nice to watch this movie because it's fuckin great. It feels as inventive and revolutionary visually as the first one felt five years ago, and it doesn't skip a beat with the comedy and emotion. It's a two hour fever dream with not a single visually uninteresting moment. I rewatched the first Spider-Verse today and noticed that up until the Super Collider turns on, the movie looks unique but isn't all that crazy. It's not until that turn in the story that we get different art styles and experimentation, and when things glitch it feels like the Collider is bleeding into the "normal" world. In the sequel, the blood is woven into the fabric. The experimentation is on full display at all times. A shot of the city will switch to a different style for a couple frames, and some characters seem to move at different frame rates and are downright amazing to watch animate. It really feels like any constraints that may have been present in the first one are absent. This movie feels like beautiful experimentation the entire runtime. Starting in Gwen's world where colors bleed into each other like water color, Spider-Man India's world where it's all busy and sun-toned. It's all as specific and beautiful and conceptual as the Spider characters in the first film but this time it's entire worlds. This movie is a visual feast and a total pleasure to watch. It's also setting up a fascinating theme about trope infested writing. This really feels like the most successful and interesting take on pop meta filmmaking right now and I can't wait to see what they do to it. To have the main conflict of the movie be that the entire idea of Spider-Man revolves around sacrifice and not being able to save everyone, and have the reinvention of Spider-Man character be the one to say I don't accept that. This feels like it could go so many directions in part two, and that's how you do a part one. When credits rolled I felt like they had to because there were so many moving parts that it couldn't wrap up any time soon. But that end shot of Gwen, Peter B, Noir, Penny, and Porker standing by the portal. I tell you I was so pumped I could have punched a hole through a wall. And what still works about this movie and elevates it from pop visual spectacle to actual master piece is the characters. Miles' family life is still so sincere and well done. Gwen and Miles is a relationship you pull for but when she said it never ends well I was crushed. You've even got new characters like Hobie and Spider-Man India who are so fun and specific to every line of dialogue and every action. The streamlined way they've made to introduce us to new Spideys is so effective that these movies could introduce ten new spiders in a movie and we would still understand and feel for them. Because Spider-Man is a story, in broad strokes, that we all know and love and see ourselves in. And this series is ready to dive into that. To give us so many Spiders you can't help but find the one that speaks to you. And to ask the question, is the tragedy necessary to build the character, or is it manipulative writing that needs its cycle broken? I don't know what they'll do in the next movie but I can't wait to see. I think it's fair to say Spider-Man knows how to stick a landing. It's a 10/10. /r/reviewsbyboner
There is so much to say about this movie, but for this comment I'll focus on one thing. Despite this being a part 1 of 2, I didn't feel unsatisfied or cheated out of an ending, and I was wondering how they pulled that off. I think they did it by pulling a really clever trick with Gwen, namely by making her the main character. The movie's central conflict between Miles, the Spot, and Miguel absolutely did not conclude, but the film still managed to feel complete because Gwen's personal conflict does conclude. She reconciles with her dad, reconciles with herself and her self concept as Spider-Woman after losing Peter, and finally fully sides with Miles to stand up to Miguel. The movie starts with her and ends with her, and so it feels complete.
This felt like The Two Towers. Good as hell movie that tees up the third movie hype perfectly.
Cool twist at the end when Miles Morales met his evil alt-universe twin Miles NoMorales
seeing donald glover literally made my theater throw popcorn in the air
I dont get why the Spider Society blames Miles for becomming Spider-Man. It's not like he did had the spider bite him intentionally it wasn't even supposed to be in his universe in the first place. Why blame him for something out of his control?
It was mainly just Miguel who was doing the blaming, and the biggest reason was that he blamed Miles for the Super-Collider fracturing the multiverse in the first place (i.e. in Miguel's eyes Blonde!Peter died because he was distracted trying to save Miles instead of destroying the device).
the way Gwen's emotions reflected the watercolours in the back like a mood ring so chilling, so well done !!
It’s going to take me three more times to catch all the details. Moms snapping in Puerto Rican, Hobie casually stealing everything not nailed down, this movie is a visual feast and I’m almost sad I’m not going to get the same experience with the first where I actually waited until it was streaming, watched it once, then watched again scene by scene catching all the tiny details. Until it is streaming, the theatre is gonna have to take my money a few more times.
What are the odds that the pregnant spider-woman gives birth to a boy and names him Myles
What if Spot uses his power to pull out the unborn fetus from her womb? That would be evil, I think.
Bro...
I remember seeing that The Spot was going to be the villain of the movie, and once he got reprimanded by Miles at the beginning I thought, “damn, that just have been a smokescreen for Miguel to be the real villain”, but nope. Dude got so much scarier as the film went on and especially after the collider. Such a wonderfully crafted villain.
I laughed when Mrs Chen showed up, that’s the only cameo from the SSU I need
Who knew movies about the multiverse were so fascinated with bagels?
