It’s got Spider-Man slapped on the poster of course it’s going to sell. Even when westerns were as dead as a doornail Clint Eastwood could still pack a theater. The Spider-Man logo alone will put butts in seats and a halfway decent story will keep them coming back.
Sony will NEVER fully give up the rights to Spider-Man, it’s hilarious how they tell Marvel Studios/Disney “we’ll let you borrow him from time to time, but he’s ours”
I was the most excited for his cameo. He had about 3 parts adding up to about 10 seconds I’d say.(not sure if you’ve seen it) his cameo was pretty lame tho and his line reinforces the villain but hopefully he does better in the second one.
The Spectacular Spider-Man is probably my favorite adaptation of the character, right next to Spider-Verse, Insomniac’s games, Sam Raimi’s trilogy and the 90’s cartoon. That show deserves to be concluded with the same writers.
That show so masterfully introduced and maintained some of the coolest interactions of Spider-Man characters I've seen from Venom to Green Goblin to Molten Man. It's a crime it was canceled and I'm still salty to this day.
Considering how sad and miserable comic peter parker is, seeing him being the fun loving and involved dad of his daughter is honestly such a breath of fresh air.
Also, let's be honest. The fact that she is a daughter of Peter and Mary Jane Watson as well as a version of Mayday Parker/Spider Girl? Means that she herself has quite a few fans that were happy to see her on screen.
@@Lucassaur0I think he’s just so used to how modern cinema makes white men out to be useless and bumbling fools, and lumped this in with that I had some of the same thoughts but I really do like how he’s found some purpose and he’s raising a daughter. I think it’s endearing.
Im gonna say it, i love that the relationship of Gwen and her father is nice, im so sick of every female main character being a dick for no reason to every male in the screen, seeing Gwen hug her father despise the difference on how they do good in the world made me so happy!
Problem is they can't be a decent father figure by...being a father figure. He's "supportive" of tranny Stacy and it's fucking ridiculous. A father who supports their child by not giving into their delusional thoughts is a good father. A father that enables is not.
What I will say im genuinely surprised how well the film made the Spot into a terrifying villian after hes played off as a moron in the beginning with him showing Miles his future and his new character design after the collider explosion
Weak? The entire chase scene shows Peter is damn near miles ahead of the other Spiders while putting in half the effort. Man got a 1 on 1 talk, while the only other one who did was Miguel after quite literally clawing his way to it.
almost like CD just has to find some "wokeness" to complain about so that the white supremacists in his audience do not abandon him. He almost got through one video here, but you can never forget to pet your biggest fans.
@@horace6851 That’s what happens when you look too hard for things that are on either the “woke” or “racist” side of the scale. You start to lose touch, and miss out on the joy of the simplest things.
I thought Peter B Parkers arc was great. He didn't get sidelined, he didn't get belittled or anything. He got over his mental health issues, reconciled with MJ and actually got a kid with her. We can see, that their relationship works great and he loves their kid dearly. Also he is really proud of Miles and takes every opportunity to tell the other spiderpeople, that he himself was Miles' mentor and teacher. And he always tries to diffuse the situation, because he knows and understands what Miguel is about and why things have to be the way they are. But he also loves Miles and doesn't want the kid to get hurt.
I do hope that he gets to shine in a more direct way in the finale. A loving, supportive, caring mentor character deserves genuine respect, and he’s *still* Spiderman and deserves to show it. I’m ok with his treatment in this film because I have high hopes that he will get to rise in the 3rd act. Dads can still be awesome. Every dad who ever had to defend his family is proof of that
@@MrCarlbrooks Nah if you actually look at it though, she serves a purpose just like the original Parker. She's the one that sees Gwen for the trouble she's going through and forced Miguel into bringing her into the fold and becoming her mentor. Just like how Miles needs a male mentor I see how Gwen makes use of a female mentor that can relate to and support her at a level someone else wouldn't.
I just appreciate that these movies are helping remove the stigma that animated films can’t be emotionally powerful and enjoyable to all audiences. I’m still annoyed the Oscar’s have a animated section as if it’s a genre when it’s really a medium for any genre.
I think the western audience understands the power of animation and that it is infact a medium but Hollywood doesn't seem to understand. Hope that maybe Spiderverse will pioneer longer animated films (only good ones and that are actually excusable) and a wide range of films that actually encapsulate the full scope of story's the medium can tell
@@indianruckus6412 Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood really doesn't understand that or if they refuse to acknowledge it. Kinda like they are afraid that animation will take over live action so they had to downplay them as much as possible. But then again that is just speculation on my part.
In defense of the way they treat peter parker in these movies. The peter in miles' home universe was a big shot where everything went right until one mistake cost him his life. Then he was celebrated as a hero. Peter B Parker was an emotional wreck who made a lot of mistakes and led a miserable life. He wanted to sacrifice himself at the end of the first movie, and when he failed to do that, he went back to his universe and started turning his life around. Starting with getting back together with MJ and having a kid. I respect the redemption arc.
Agreed. His story arc and his relationship with Miles arc were mostly resolved in the first, while Gwen's really wasn't, and I think that's ultimately what led to her having so much screen time this time around. Instead of paring down the heavy moments for Miles and Gwen, which is what most movies do, the animators dropped the rest of the gang's (Noir, Penny, Spider-Ham) screen time where most movies would feel obligated to keep them all in for a false sense of completeness.
To be fair, if Miles wasn't there he definitely would have lived (Wow, Miguel was right or something!). Then again, it was still his fault for positioning the goober upside down. If he positioned it right on the first try he would have stopped the collider in the nick of time.
I think there was nothing to tell anymore. What we see in the sequel are the fruits of the growth he experienced in the first film and he is just fulfilled.
Yes. That was the point of showing him with his kid. Its a callback to him telling Miles he thinks he wants kids since meeting and mentoring him, in the last movie. Critical Drinker tries to invoke a really toxic ideology sometimes. So I would advise against letting him dictate how you should think. He had a really bad take on Peter B Parker, because of his own issues.
I kinda disagree with your take on Peter, besides the reduced screen time. He didn’t bring his daughter to a battlefield, he brought to a place surrounded by Spider-people, all of whom are heroes. We even see Miguel properly handle her too, and I think Peter brought her there in the first place to meet Miles. And even then, Peter was shown to think better than the other Spider-people, as he was able to quickly find Miles. The only gripe is how little screen time he got.
Yes. But what is your answer to this question, why did peter take his baby in the last scene? Peter knows he is going to a dimension with no Spiderman to get miles, so it will be pure chaos in there. Also spot might attack them on the way, so the baby just hold him back. So why did he take her in the last part of the movie? Also mj clearly asked him whether he took her to his job, and he lied. Now he is doing it again? You have to remember mj is not busy or anything, she is available at home to take care of the baby. But still peter is determined to bring mayday to wherever he goes, even it's danger . Why?
@@samkj1953 this is a good point, and a flaw I will concede for the movie. Peter should not be bringing Mayday with him if he’s going with the rescue team for Miles.
@@lonewanderer3219 Peter taking Mayday everywhere with him actually makes more sense than people realise. Think about it from MJ’s perspective; how could she look after a toddler who can climb up walls/swing to different buildings etc. Peter is the only one who can handle Mayday and stop her from getting into dangerous situations.
My biggest problem with this movie is that they completely emasculated and ruined Peter B Parker. Peter is SPIDER-MAN he is smart he is not dumb enough to take his 2-3 yo daughter to multiverse. His characters does not have any motivation whatsoever and is basically ruined and reduced to "Talk to my daughter, play with my daughter, hold my daughter" WTH!! They are trying to make the miles morales THE Spider-Man. And for that reason they are not going to show peter in his classic suit or give him heroic personality, because then audience will quickly realise who real spider man is. Peter is gone, and we have got that little pos. Scenes with her daughter are not eben cute they are annoying.
I really liked how this film really emphasized 2099's motivation and how even though he's right about many things, he still overlooks the flaws in his own crusade to protect the multiverse and how maybe some stories aren't meant to play out as intended.
He isn't really 2099 though. They for some reason revamped his entire story to take away what made him unique. He no longer has access to time travel although somehow they can predict the future? His mission was to stop Alchemax but now it was he wanted a family (that was just Kingpin's from the first one). Spider-Man 2099 was not this Miguel O'Hara. Hell they even gave him a separate universe even though he is just the Spider-Man of the future
@@Antonio-ys5zd I mean they have implicitly indicated time travel anyway. If the spider that bit miles was one that was supposed to bite a Peter then the spider had to have traveled forward in time as well as across the universe to bite miles after the Peter in his universe was already spider man. But hey can't expect much concern for detail from people who think you can strap on a pair of Jordans and still cling to walls.
@@ragnarok7976 clothing has never been a factor to wall crawling but time doesn't seem to be linear whatsoever in the different universes. But they purposely removed all potential for time travel otherwise Miguel could just stop Miles from being bitten
@@Antonio-ys5zd it has though wether you are talking electrostatic cling or setae method, clothing that is too thick does impact his ability to cling to walls. Yeah the time lines line up to the same period when it's convenient for them to do so and they don't when it isn't. Gotta take away time control because they are already struggling with the multiverse plot.
@@ragnarok7976 factor in the other clothing that any film or TV show has used and it gets weird for clinging too. Yes based on just the very minor details not a single time frame is measured between universes such as how Peter had Mayday in what Miles said was only a few months to maybe a year. And their multiverse does hold various flaws but time travel is easy enough to incorporate but would easily resolve all conflict
I really liked Peter B Parker in both films. One of the common themes in Spiderman is that there is a price for these high flying heroics. We saw some of that in the second Sam Raimi film, but it really hits home with Peter B Parker who has done his best to protect NY from supervillians but gets the short end of the stick because the time spent on heroics left him with less time to take care of himself and the people he cares for. The fact that he kept putting on the suit when his life would be easier and more comfortable if he turned his back on heroics may be the most heroic thing about him. He's actually a lot more interesting than the blonde Peter Parker from Miles' own universe who had everything worked out.

I agree, he is maybe the most likable Spider-Man I’ve ever seen. That’s the whole point of this character, Spider-Man is the hero of the people, he has a strong correlation with everyone. If young Peter in the 60s, then Ultimate Peter in the 00s, etc.. they have a strong connection with young people, also the struggles of adult life… Peter B. Parker is the next stage so to speak, when you form a family and move on. Such a great character. I really hope Miles can reach this state of being relatable, because this character always felt so unnatural and forced, the initial comics written by Bendis are really bad, the PS4 games also, Miles feels like a anime protagonist who receives power ups from nowhere, no personality, no romantic interest, etc.. the character is super bland. Spider-Verse salvaged a lot, it gave him a personality (kinda, tying his aesthetics with hip hop is at least something), a romantic interest… and that’s it, it’s a work in progress. Let’s see if he will learn his lesson about responsibility… or if he will just be “whatever he wants” just to break the establishment. This second movie tries really hard to be “punk”, which is neat to some extent (hard to root for arrogant assholes, but Spider-Verse Miles is still in development), but let’s see how things are going to be wrapped up
This further shows to me the incompetence of Disney’s attempts at live action. Animation is a medium where ANYTHING is possible. Expressions, action, and explosions of color are amazing to behold. Live action with some films are fine, but there is simply zero replacement for the unique story telling of animation. A huge bravo to the designers and artists of this film! Loved it!!!
@@savannahforsyth2942 that’s alright! Spiderverse is a busy looking movie with lots of colors. But give it a shot! The previous movie and this one are sensational. Live action works for some people, but mostly not for me. The only live action retelling that Disney has released that I 100% enjoyed was The Jungle Book.
But I have a feeling that she might die in the third movie to sacrifice herself to save Miles. I know that sounds bullshit but too be fair, she could consider herself as anomaly since she said it herself: "Every Spiderman always lose Gwen" and she's a variant of Gwen Stacy who becomes Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider / Spider-Woman. She's even encouraging Miles' parents to tell that their son is gonna be okay. Which I think it's a bad news that she might gonna die in the sequel because usually a character whose encouraged the other character always die. I don't think it's gonna be Peter B. Since he just become a dad and Miguel has saved his universe before so he will not fall in the same way. Or worse case scenario, Miles' dad gonna die like what canon event has to be.
@@rpgadventurer32 Yeah but it's a good thing in movies to flesh out your characters. Miles still has more screentime and the focus is on him proving that he is Spiderman and him getting powers wasn't a mistake. The next part will go more into that. Besides, I doubt we'll ever get a movie or show with Spider-Gwen so I'm thankful that we got stuff with her.
@@BladeEdgeShinobi She is, technically. She's considered canon in the same way as Rachel (Marvel Girl/Phoenix II) and Nathan Dayspring Summers (Cable/The Traveler) are. They may be from alternate realities, but they exist in some for in the 616, the only true Marvel universe.
@@Joxshuxa same case as Miguel O'Hara, albeit he came from a different possible future and then was displaced into the mainline marvel universe (at least in the case of the comics).
Peter B Parker. Is and was fantastic in both movies. He was effortlessly competent in being Spider-Man, but he lost his love for being Spider-Man and self confidence for being anything but spider-man. By mentoring Miles he rediscovered his love for Spider-Man and his faith in himself. In across the Spider-verse we see that he has become a loving father, but is torn between doing what he feels is right and protecting his daughter. A daughter who has super powers and so can not just be easily watched by mom. I think his arc is wonderful.

@@Shome2049 Dude, are you seriosly spaming the same message to everyone who doesn't have the same opinion as you?! That's so pathetic! What do you hope to accomplish? Change their opinion? Yeah, that's never gonna happen. You should stop wasting your time by embarasing yourself.
@@Shome2049 Correct. Just watched this movie 2 days ago, and now knowing who's the main protagonist of the PS5 spidey 2 game it makes sense the Why. Also what they did to Ben Reilly, making him a joke. For those out there he was for a brief moment Spider-Man, because Peter thought he was the clone, Aunt May just died, MJ was pregnant, all this things make Peter to quit so Ben became the real Spidey. Peter is Spider-Man Ben is Scarlet-Spider Miles should be known as Dark-Spider. If he shares the same universe as Peter. Not for his skin colour, his suit is black.
I actually really like Peter in the film. He is an older character who is a dad, and hecka proud of it. He wears the baby carrier with grace *remember there was a time when weirdos would say a dad wearing that was awful and not masculine while at the same time complaining man never help* He's chilling going around with comfy slippers and a bathrobe with no shame. I never took it as the writer trying to put him down. More like, his priority is his daughter. He is one of my favs. ❤
His bathrobe felt like an upgrade from his sweatpants from the first movie- they flipped it on its head, so instead of the sweatpants showing his apathy the bathrobe shows him taking responsibility
@@Meraxes6 Yea, the joggers represented how he was down and out and didn't care about his appearance, where the robe shows how comfortable he is in life now.
Ehhh I don't agree with that Peter B. Parker take. In all honesty if you look at his actions throughout the 1st and 2nd films and look past the humor you'll find that he's... pretty much been the most effective Spider-Person we've seen. His only missteps and mistakes are due to him glitching or Miles messing up in the 1st film. He's the first one to actually track down Miles and catch him clean in the 2nd. The first go around in the Spider Society is perfectly okay to bring a kid with as he's going to negotiate with Miles in an area where it's majority copies of him. It might be genuinely be the safest place in the multiverse for May on paper. Also him being a stereotypically, over joyful dad is just added character development especially when you compare him now to how he first appeared. The Peter we get is probably the best and most well-rounded version of Peter Parker we've had that I can remember. If you had to be protected by any Peter Parker we've seen outside of the comics then Peter B. Parker is probably your best bet on paper.
Yep, he wasn't all fluff. He provided the moderate tone to Miguel's over-the-top edge. There was less actual 'growth' in this movie though because his personal character arc and relationship with Miles arc was mostly resolved in Into the Spider-Verse. Which was probably why Gwen got a lot more screen time here. Her personal story was never resolved and her relationship with Miles in the first also never became clearly defined.
100%. Plus its super realistic and closer to the comics. An older Peter with years of being spiderman would be exhausted. He's happy with his little girl because she is one of the first things that has brought him joy in years. And he deserves it. I love to see it.
Honestly where Peter B Parker is rn is where his 616 comic counter part should be rn who is a mess in its own right cause witters don’t wanna see him grow. Happy to see him with MJ and be a family man
exactly Peter B is from a skills, experience and knowledge perspective, probably the BEST Spider of them all as hes been doing it for almost 25 years. but it came at the cost of him screwing up his personal life (that hes now getting back to)
5:40 Nah, they gave Peter B. Parker a marriage and a kid bcuz the perennial Spidey fans have wanted that of him since the 90s. He's funny without being a mockery, wise without being overt, and improved in the sense of him finding an equilibrium in life that only happened because Miles showed him teaching a new generation can be rewarding. Peter represents the filmmakers and their positive view of parenthood being a growing and learning experience, with hurdles to be sure, but rewarding if done with love and attention.
"excessive focus on supporting characters" I really don't agree with that one. Gwen is just as much a protagonist in this part as Miles is. The damn movie even starts with her.
It’s not like the lead character has much to say anyway, Miles remains lost in a limbo. These movies are trying their best to further develop him, which is commendable, usually these side-kicks/token characters are extremely derivative (Batman has a literal “family” of characters like these), but Miles is very slowly developing into a actual character (he is very selfish and arrogant in this movie, that goes in-line with the “punk” nature of this sequel, but it’s a work progress, who knows how he will end up)
But that’s the problem, you’re not supposed to have two protagonists. The “second main character” is known as a deuteragonist. People wanted to watch the movie for Miles not Gwen
@@luispalao7418 The majority are willing to watch this movie because of Spider-Man as a symbol really, to see how far they go with the variations, the animation techniques, etc.. the Miles character arc is a highlight, sure, but it's not the main attraction. Gwen was a fan favorite in the first movie, it's natural to highlight her in this sequel, that's far from being a problem in my pov
@luispalao7418 you realise story's are allowed to have mutiple main characters or do you just not like game of thrones, Star wars, the lord of the rings, alien, Alien 2, the incredibles, the Avengers, Avengers Infinity War, Star trek or pretty much any epic I just don't get the complaint of a moving having 2 main characters. Like why critise this movie for it but not the above ones.
She's a spider-person with insane durability, why wouldn't she if there's no risk for the kid (which it shouldn't since spiderpowers are hereditary) My reaction was more "finally a pregnant lady on the battlefield that makes sense" Same goes for Peter and his kid, she's superpowered, pretty little risk (and Peter never takes part in the fight, he just follows and tried to distract people)
@@Briaaanz Actualy yes , having a looney tunes type character fight is far more realistic than having a heavily pregnant woman fight. The reason why is : we avtualy know the effects of pregnancy. Women while pregnant can't fight and if they do , they can have a miscarage. I don't know about you but a cartoonish anthropomorphic pig sounds lije a better idea than a literal walking miscarage.
I think the tedium of Miles' talks with his parents is intentional and honestly pretty accurate to experiences I've had and seen throughout my life. As a teenager you have a lot you want to tell your parents that just doesn't seem to come out. Getting choked on feelings and secrets and of course the fear of what your parents will say when you actually do get the truth out is an all too real feeling that, even as a grown man, I still get sometimes. It's frustrating, but it's real, and for that I really appreciated the movie going there, even if it did start to feel like padding at times.
Kind of an aside, but I think you'd really enjoy Daniel Mackler's videos. They've helped me work through difficult internal struggles like this a lot. Much love.
I agree fully. I found the repetitive conversations to add a feeling of legitimacy and authenticity. What teenager just had a talk with their parents and then everything is resolved? The way they did it felt real to me, not redundant. I really appreciate the character development, the time devoted to Miles and his parents, and the breathing room they gave that relationship. I don't want them to show me "only as much as they need to and nothing more" when it comes to Miles. Give him and his family relationship space to really establish themselves. I disagree with the Drinker on this one.
I know what you mean, and that's a good observation, IMO. Parents can be very hard to talk to. I'm an older guy and mine still try to talk to me as if they necessarily know more than I about virtually any possible subject, even those which they clearly know nothing about. And as if I should always hear their opinion about everything. And at length. And then once or twice again. Beyond tedious, not nice, and in no way useful.
Don't feel bad. I'm a 50-year-old pediatrician who has been practicing medicine for over 24 years. My mom still gives me medical advice, even though she knows nothing about medicine.
100%. I think those slower scenes were a risky, but ultimately important, part of the movie. The buildup of the tension between the parents and Miles is resolved there as Rio (mom) acts like the mom that sees more of her boy than Miles realizes. Her entire speech to him about not forgetting the little boy and making sure no one tells him he doesn't belong is the inner push he needs when he is told by Miguel that he doesn't belong and is an anomaly. Spiderverse has always balanced this well, and they basically were able to recreate the triumphant What's up Danger moment in a longer time frame than the first, where Captain Jefferson tells Miles that he sees a spark in him. I'm honestly surprised people seem to have missed that. And lastly, the breakneck pace of a lot of the other parts of the film really needed the slower burn of these intro scenes. People seem to misconstrue gravity and breathing room for filler since most movies are made to shave off every single possible excess they can, but what that creates are the standard MCU movies. The runtime was long in this movie because there was too much to do, and clearly what they chose to shave off here was really any development of invested characters in the first (Noir, Penny, Spider-Ham) so that they wouldn't need to sacrifice Gwen's, Peter B Parker's, and Miles.
I've read the comics bro wtf are you on about I could point to SPECIFIC comics where he demeaned or belittled - hell its a major story repeatedly used involving him and Jameson. The comics show the ups and downs of being spidey what comics did you read where he's a consistent alpha? LMAO
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 Peter B. is the movie Peter. I'm saying that the movie treats Peter way better than the comics do. He gets the girl and is allowed to have a family and be happy. Comics Peter gets cucked by Paul.
Tell me you're going through a midlife crisis, without telling me you're going through a midlife crisis. Joe Quesada: 'I want to erase Peter's marriage to MJ, so he can be single, young and bang hot chicks.'
Idk Peter B Parker has that "I'm Him" energy that I'm glad they allowed him to have. Plus Peter being happily married and raising a kid is a very refreshing look for him if you know how the comics have treated him over the years! I saw a Peter finally happy raising his Spiderbaby tbh, not some sad loser
They took 5 years to make this and have a lot of track laid for "Beyond the Spider-verse" next March. They wanted a quick turn around so the delays were absolutely to make sure there is solid work for movie 3 alongside movie 2's release.
It’s funny how the movies, while not perfect, actually tried to make Miles interesting and compelling in a way. While in the comics, he’s just a carbon copy of Peter.
Except he isnt ur just spouting the same crap as nerdrotic and other conservatives. Miles is excellent in the comics which is why they did this movie in the first place because he had so much love and fans u bozo
@@y_s4021 don't even talk about it. Drinker creams his pants when he hears of a movie that isn't "woke". He went so far as to defend the fast and furious movies. Everyone (all the other spider people) except miles is interesting to me. And the fact that everyone overrates this infuriates me. They talk as if it has no flaws.
Didn’t mind the Peter stuff. He took his kid who seems capable into a lair of nothing but alternative versions of himself which would look out for her as well even in a chase. And with all the stuff going on the comics, it’s actually refreshing to see Peter Parker just as a simple, happy, stereotypical dad, which is a life he’s earned. He still was very capable as Spider-Man to me.
@@yaoislayer1002 No one caught miles. Miles literally and quite easily ran away from multiple versions of VERY capable Peter Parkers but also spidermen. Peter didnt even catch him or subdued him in anyway.
As a huge spider man fan you’re dead wrong about them disrespecting Peter. We know he’s the goat and I think the fact that he still is able to catch miles when no one else can shows his skill
@@yaya2breezy591 I PARTICALLY agree with him. I don't think he was disrespected for the reasons he stated. But there was that one scene where he felt off to me while I was watching it where Gwen was challenging Miguel even though she was afraid of him and even though he should be right there with her defending Miles, Peter's just in the background having suddenly grown afraid of confrontation.... Which is not the vibe I got from Peter B from the first movie but that's a choice... I guess. I can't tell if that was just an unintentional side effect of focusing on Gwen's arc though. It depends on how the third movie wraps things up because if it ends with Miles being right AND having no consequences and he just goes "LMAO, this wasn't a morally nuanced situation at all, everyone but me was just an idiot. Can't believe I ever admired those pathetic losers. They're fake Spider-people," then I'll know for sure that it was very intentional.
It’s still amazing how they went from the emoji movie to this. It really shows how much they have learned from their mistakes unlike cough, cough(Disney )
I think the idea of a spider death-cult that is the product of these shared traumas becoming hallowed myths and rites of passage is fascinating. People often think of individuals who get suckered into cults as being dumb or evil but the reality is that it's more about the right persona coming with the right story that helps you deal with your personal trauma. It's not about being gullible but about being vulnerable. It's not a mistake that Gwen and Miles both talk about how alone they feel in the beginning of the movie, how they have nobody else they can talk to about being super heroes. They can't even talk to their parents about it. Then they get brought in by some impressive outsiders who totally get what they're going through. Not only do they get it, they tell you all the bad shit that happened to you is actually part of a larger design that will lead to you having really happy moments later! That's a compelling story lots of cults use to get people to come in, and it's also part of how they get otherwise normal, rational and benevolent people to tolerate or inflict abuse onto others.
I mean its still guillble because you shouldn't be going around trusting random ppl you don't even know. In fact you bringing up how cults manipulate and groom ppl into their cults is exactly the reason ppl who forgot stranger danger is makes them naive and guillble and falling into very obvious red flags and traps.
@@dewolf123 Some people that get sucked into cults aren't inherently gullible people, though. They're going through a tough time and are emotionally and mentally vulnerable, when they usually wouldn't be. They may even see the red flags but they're in such a bad place that the cult seems better than wherever they're coming from.
I'm a bit surprised how many critics go for the duration, personally it went by super quick for me and enjoyed every minute. For me they could have gone for 1h more with those gorgeous paintings all over. I loved the style of Gwen's universe, by far my favorite, but the fact that they changed the style during the movie made it way more enjoyable, kind of like going to a museum and going through the different expositions (on top of watching an awesome movie).
I was just in awe and appreciated that we got a dedicated prologue to show an arc for Gwen and a conclusion as well later in the movie. I never would have expected to see an in-depth adaptation of her story in any on-screen media.
This. I wasn't bored for a second and the scenes with Miles' mom were golden. After Puss in the Boots it's finally yet another animated movie where the story can breathe, characters talk to and with each other.
Nothing more deranged than a grown man defending a childrens movie that pushes the same old woke race relations. The straight white people in these movies are either tired old guys, villains, or the blonde racial trophy. The same people who pay for this movie pay for the adult films starring the same themes, some of the most highly produced propaganda despite being the least popular racial combos in the world. The population statistically rejects it yet they push it over and over and over. Knowing that context you'd have to be silly in the brain to not notice Peters castration here.
@@vexatiously9984I don’t think you understand what balance the OP was referring to. They said the PLOTS were balanced well, meaning that there was sufficient time allotted to both plots to allow for each one to feel properly setup. The feeling of a hard stop at the ending is more so an attribute of smoothness and resolution than it is balance. The difference is that it’s not supposed to feel smooth or resolute because the next movie is a continuation.
Civil war, not that much. I think once Gwen and her team find miles they are gonna end up fighting Earth 42 Miles. Miguel’s focus is on the spot but u think he will have a change of heart and if I to predict who will make the hero’s sacrifice it will he him.
I'm in the same boat on Miles Morales. Comic book fans say he's just a race swapped token Peter Parker, but in the first movie and the newest Spider-Man games, he's a well-written and compelling character I like quite a bit.
Thing is, he WAS a race-swapped Peter Parker when they introduced him in the comics. Into the Spiderverse is the first iteration where he's his own character with his own story. Sony breathed life into Miles' story where it had little before
There was a very short period of time he was known as "Kid Arachnid", and if they'd of stuck to their guns and kept him with his own identity I guarantee more people would be receptive of him. I see a lot of people assume people don't like Miles "because he's a black Spider-Man", when the reality (in most cases at least) is that people just want him to be his OWN CHARACTER and to stop riding the coattails of Peter Parker. I personally like what Into the Spider-Verse tried to do with him, (as well as the first Insomniac game) even if I still feel they couldn't fully break him free of "Peter Parker knock-off" syndrome. Also, lesser complaint, why did they raceswap Jessica Drew when we already had a black Spider-Woman way before Jessica Drew ever took the moniker? Valerie the Librarian would have been perfect for that spot, and would have been a fun way to introduce a lesser known Spider character, BIG missed opportunity there. Jessica Drew isn't even a traditional "Spider person" to begin with, but whatever, nerd rant over 😅
One of the directors - Joaquim Dos Santos - was a lead writer for Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008). Beyond the Spider-Verse will likely have phenomenal payoffs.
@@markuhler2664 To be fair, he had little control over that movie. Nicola Peltz really wanted to be Katara, so her father, Nelson Peltz, pulled some strings to make it happen. That decision meant that the entire Water Tribe had to be European. There was a ton of location scouting done which resulted in the film originally being mainly shot in Greenland. Then the budget was pushed towards VFX which resulted in the only on-location shooting being done on the cheap. The executives also had Shyamalan rewrite the movie into the final film.
I absolutely loved the visual element in this film, and found it geniously creative and lightyears beyond anything Pixar or Disney have done in recent times. I also liked how, like in Puss in Boots TLW, they used this animation in creative ways (framerate, color palette, style (oils, 3d, line drawing....) to reflect details and motifs of the story, and even to give cheeky hints to the viewer of things and reveals that are to come. SPOILERS For example, when Miles returns from the Spiderman central back into his universe, he's in this dark, emotional place, darting across the town to save his father. The animation seems to reflect that: his black and red suit darting accross the green rain really informs us of the mood and his mental state. Only it informs us of much more than just that. This isn't the colour palette of his universe, but of universe 42 - that of his spider. It's a really great and subtle hint of the big reveal that is yet to come. I found it was absolutely genius.
I mostly agree, but for a keen-eyed vievers you can see "Earth-42" in the machine that sends him there at the end of the escape from spider society so it wasn't really a surprise.
@@atharvadeshpande4749 it's nice but I really hope they tone down the memes in later films. It's funny they use them in No Way Home but I think we'll tire of them at some point
Honestly I don’t mind at all that it’s split into two parts, I also don’t mind having A lot of scenes where they flesh out supporting characters, I love the character they’ve created and I’m glad we get twice as much of them. Yeah this first film lacks resolution but it hooked me in so hard that I can’t wait for the next. Also, when the third one does come out eventually, watching them both back to back will be an insane experience
Idk how anyone thinks they could have fit all of this into one film without it being a hot mess. I love what they did and can't wait for the final film.
Easy leave out all the unnecessary filler that in it, the first one managed that pretty well and feels seamless and tight. This one was a boring mess...
@@brendanthomas6671 It's almost like this has been marketed as the first of two parts of a movie because they realized their's enough stuff to fill out 2 movies.
Yeah, its weird to see Peter B. Parker bringing him and MJ's daughter with him in Across the Spider-Verse, but hey, considering Marvel Comics editorial STILL refuses to undo One More Day sixteen years later and let mainline Peter Parker be a Spider-Dad while Miles Morales covers the young relatable Spider-Man niche, I speak on behalf of the Spider-Man fandom when I say its nice to see other pieces of Spider-Man media take deliberate potshots at Marvel's refusal to let Peter Parker grow up.
Honestly, if you wanna have a new kid in the Spider role, then there's really only two ways for Peter to go. Either retired/dead mentor, or he has to be the Spider Dad, bringing in that whole dynamic and the new problems/stories that can bring. The nice thing about multiverses, is that you can do both.
I thought there's still a line of comics set in that universe where Peter and MJ have a daughter who inherited his powers. I 'member one arc having the Xavier Institute for the Gifted inviting her to enroll, basically joining The X-Men. Dammit MARVEL, you're teasing us with a timeline where things worked out better than your main one!
I just hope Sony doesn't have her aged up into a teenager like in the floppies. Miles and Gwen fulfill that demographic already. Let her stay a little kid.
No. The obvious problem is.... if you let all characters grow old. They die. It's a basic tenet of comics, fiction and story telling. No one wants Grandpa Spider-man.
@@louisduarte8763 That was the Spider-Girl comics, set in the near future/alternate reality with May-Day Parker grown up into a teenager and living life as a superhero, with support from Peter and MJ who had already lived through both ends of trying to balance being a hero and having a normal life. After One More Day Joe Quesada told people that if they wanted married Spider-Man they could read that comic, and so pretty much overnight it became the best selling Spiderbook Marvel had. In a fit of rage Quesadilla cancelled it despite it's massive success.
Peter Parker, a capable dad that loves and looks after his kid and that leaves a sour taste in your mouth? The last film showed him at his lowest point and this one showed that he had recovered from being in a bad place and he had gotten his life back together and you think that's mocking him, weird take.
Guess some ppl prefer Peter to remain miserable. Like geez can't ppl be happy for a Peter who can actually be happy for once and not be the world's literal punching bag.
@@dewolf123 I agree, a lot of us have goofy white male fathers just like Peter b Parker. If he was a perfect badass he wouldn’t be nearly as compelling as a character.
@@mrbort3977 None of your fathers are "Peter Parker". His character is not supposed to be presented as a "goofy white male father". He is supposed to be presented as a badass hero in action but also as a very smart character with some nerdy elements. What they did in this movie was purposefully removing his agency and emasculating him on screen by positioning him as the nanny and that includes deliberate visual elements to further emphasize his diminished secondary role. That was a conscious decision by the writers and it's not difficult to understand why they did it. It's the same reason for what they've been doing in the video games including the upcoming one and the same reason they've announced a new Miles Morales live action movie. There is a very obvious end goal here by Sony and Marvel.
Hit the nail on the head with the line, “I trust the writers“. This lack of trust is what has kept me from getting invested in almost any modern story. I’ve settled for the low bar of “the creators don’t actively disdain their audience” But to actually trust the writers to the extent that you’re willing to invest in a story, that feels amazingly fresh.
Yeah a guy behind me said that too. Fortunately I heard already that it’s basically Part 1 so I was able to hold back my vocal reaction, but it still felt disappointed. It was basically like watching a whole season of a tv show and then waiting for the next season
@@NoobTheNewt0987 That's why I don't go to the (extremely over priced) cinema. Other people. If a paid for experience can be this easily ruined, it's not a good way to spend my money.
@@casusolivasit’s insulting when we get called sexist for disliking characters like Rey, when we have no issue whatsoever with strong female characters. Just give them some personality and flaws
@@Ricardo-ur5os yeah exactly… Rey just like live action mulan are cliches of “as a woman i am perfect but I men oppressed me”… lol that’s just ridiculous
Experience does not neccesarily equal power or even ability. Based on his set of powers she shouldn't be better than him. The reason they did it has nothing to do with in world logic but more about "the massage" when it comes to female empowerment.
5:32 To be honest, I actually LIKE Peter as the "bumbling father carrying his daughter around". If only because this version of Peter is actually allowed to move forward with his life and have a happy, successful marriage and family. Contrast this with the current state of Peter in the comics, where ANY attempt to evolve his character and give him something resembling a life is immediately erased by subsequent writers, this is far preferable.
I took my two daughters to see this and 1. It was far too long for them!! 2. It was incredible. As an amateur artist, my brain HURT analysing the magnificent amount of detail that went into every shot.
So, we're going to pretend there's no "Protect Trans Kids" poster in the movie? ruclips.net/video/h4IILi8Nr8I/видео.html Wake up! You took your daughters to a _grooming session._
Did they like Colin Kaepernick as the fake spider hero? It must have been overkill to have 5 billion Spider wannabe heros. Maybe they can get Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as Spida Nigga.
Spider-verse does more for multiverse ideas in a single film than MCU has managed to with several films. What's scary about this film is that it packs more creativity in any fifteen minute period than most films have in their runtime. The art styles, productions values, and animation tricks... I felt like I was somehow watching the worlds more cogent acid trip but not feeling lost in the slightest. It isn't quite as strong as the original on its own purely because it isn't a completed arc like "Into" was. Likelihood is that how I feel about this film will be altered by how "Beyond" sticks the landing. That said it is absolutely amazing and I feel spoiled by the film. We have had an embarrassment of true treasures between this and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in this last year. Sony Pictures Animation truly is treading into dangerous frontier with a boldness you rarely see.
I don't exactly like what they did to Peter, but Mary-Jane is not a mother perfectly capable of looking after the baby. Their child has Spider-powers. Only someone else with super powers would be able to handle her. Peter not only has the ability to keep up with her , but also has his spider sense which would constantly tell him when she's in potential danger. That being said, there is no excuse for him taking his baby to a potential dimension ending mission and it's something Peter would never do. A simple line like "I'll call a sitter, I have a lot of amazing friends" would've easily dealt with that nonsense.
EXACTLY!!! Peter B. Ow. Universe has it's own superheroes with badass powers that can and even surpasses Peter's own powers for a sitter to be with MJ while Peter goes off to an actual real life or death situation with no holds bar. Hell, if I were a villain in this scenario and see a little ass spider baby and knowing I'm more op then her I WOULD most definitely use that as a opportunity to fuck over spiderman for his carelessness.
Super hero fatigue my ass. Guardians 3 and Spider verse coming out right on top of eachother shows that people just want good stories with genuine passion and care put into them. Absolutely adored this movie.
@@lewdleaf4975 well, it had the dumbest dialogues in the entire mcu, with layers of exposition one on top of another. the story is super naive, predictable and basic. rocket was the only good part of that movie but even then if u showed me the trailer I would've easily explained what would've happened in a movie. adam warlock is a braindead character idk why he was in the movie, there was zero chemistry between gamora and peter this time around, honestly I didn't care about anyone's story other than the rocket's. the film was also filled with stupid MCU jokes and remarks that I'm sick of and overall even if you compare it to "across the spiderverse" it feels like the movie was targeted primarily for the kids. I mean they started dancing... everyone... after they just had a massive space battle and half of them died??? I dunno the movie just felt stupid and very basic to me in terms of writing. looked pretty tho
I loved how this movie had built up a more mature and emotional story, that continued on the previous story. The animation was incredible, and the tension between Gwenn and Miles was really good
My one major concern is that when I came out of the film, I was on nobody's side. I understand where Miles is coming from, but Miguel reveals things that make it hard for me to not wanna believe Miles isn't thinking all the way. As long as the third film comes to both sides learning something and still challenge Miles in what he's trying to do, then we should be good.
Disagree with the opinion on Peter B Parker. At the start of the first movie he had low self esteem and was self-destructive leading to the dissolution of his marriage. He said he was frightened at the thought of having children. But at the end of the first movie he took a “leap of faith” and reconciled with MJ. Him having Mayday and being a happy dad shows a positive character progression from the first movie. He’s accepted himself to take the risk of being a parent and is clearly much happier in his relationship with MJ. He was still portrayed to be a good mentor despite the other characters attempting to dig at him & and they were all proven wrong each time. It didn’t feel like the story was undermining him at all. He’s also always been a more comic relief lovable loser type of character as well and his portrayal was absolutely in line with how he was established in the first movie, just evolved and matured.
Since im the same age as Miles, I managed to empathize with him a lot, I even got emotional in a scene with his mother, it was wonderful. This isnt a movie like no way home, here the cameos are the least of it, the important thing is the protagonist and he is a character that you care about and you fell sad for the bad things that happend to him
For the movie, I can’t deny he was pretty funny. As a fan of the character, I was so sad how they turned him into comic relief with 5 minutes of screentime, if that
I just wish it had at least a half-standalone ending. the way it ended makes it feel like someone stopped the movie midway through and told you that you can watch the rest in a few months/years, but only if you pay full price again.
Yeah it’s really really jarring. The main central plot in this movie is that Miles has to escape to save his dad. That’s it. It really feels like this movie was 70% set up. I think the movie could have benefited from a longer cut. Maybe just one scene where Miles breaks free and swings off into the city of the new world. And maybe add in a fight scene between 2099’s group and Gwen’s group. Have them come to blows before the Spot shows up and then he just knocks them all away. End credits
What's good about the cliffhanger is that we are not sure how it will all play out. It is an entire mystery, with plot points for fans to discuss. It makes me feel like the beginning of the Infinity Saga again. That's how you make a great franchise. You keep people on the edge of their seats, instead of spoon feeding every details and mystery of the movie.
I really liked the focus on Gwen and it’s willingness to slow down. It’s common in books to have different main characters for each book in a series, such as in the stormlight archive. It’s more than welcome for me
Yep! Just watched this in theatre with my family last night. It was such a surprising blast. So fun and the animation was gorgeous. Despite some of its minor flaws THIS is how super hero movies should be done.
I'm really not a Spiderman fan, my kids wanted to see it...by far the best movie I've seen this year. Loved it, the animation was mind blowing, the characters were great, the multiverse stuff wasn't OTT...absolute work of art was my thought leaving the cinema. Really pleasing to see something original for a change...even though it's part of a franchise.
the part about Peter B. Parker is kinda wild to me because it's like on the one hand you understand that they have to downplay him a bit to give Miles the spotlight but then you have to turn it around and make it an anti straight white male thing if anything I think it's fan service. a lot of people were endeared to his portrayal in the first movie. and this is him+being a cute dad archetype who mentors Miles. this gives him some purpose in being there while putting him aside so he isn't able to overshadow the other Spidermen too much besides Disney already did a Spiderverse movie with their three Peter Parkers. this being a Spiderman movie without starring Peter Parker is what makes it stand out
@@papapalps2415Well in some part of Latin America if he is light skinned he is. Even if he doesn’t have white features. The view of race in Latin America is such a mess.
4:46 See, here's my contention, I think the issue is seeing her as a supporting character. Given how the entire intro was about her and developing her, i think it's safe to put her as main character in her own right. This would basically put her as the protagonist and miles the dueteragonist. And i think this can be supported with the rest of the film as we never really leave her perspective but for the time we spend with miles, until they meet again, at which point they're either together or time is split between the two. For an analogy i can pull from, it's the original pirates of the Caribbean where we're introduced into the 2 protagonists of the story, William and I think Emily. They're roughly the first 10 to 15 minutes of the movie up until the introduction of captain Jack sparrow. Jack sparrow is basically the third protagonist in the film, but he's used as more as a major supporting character as he is only ever shown at the side of the two protagonists having moved from one to the other. This translates to our perspective actually being on Emily and William at any given time which puts them as the protagonists and not Jack. To tie this in, we see Gwen and Miles used in exactly the same fashion. We don't really break from either of their perspectives and they're the only ones given that level of time and development. This implies it's their story together, not just miles, much like how Pirates of the Caribbean was William's and Emily's together, not just William's or Jack's.
Don’t know why I find the sequel just as good if not slightly better than the first. Don’t get me wrong, the first was iconic but this one feels like the production team had more creativity and fun making it. God I wish I can watch it for the first time again
I think it WILL be better than the first when we actually get a full movie. Apparently it doesn't really bother anyone here but me and friends left the cinema super confused after it just ended in such an awkward spot when the action should start going back up again. Don't get me wrong I really liked what I watched the animation really used everything the medium has to offer and it was mesmerizing but it threw me off so unexpectedly when it ended. I feel like I'm kinda robbed of the experience of seeing the whole movie at once cuz I can't call that a stand alone movie it's just a half of something incredible
I loved the first movie. When I heard the second one was coming out I managed to avoid ALL spoilers and trailers and anything that might ruin even a moment for me.... .... Just saw it last night with my sons and it blew our minds! Such a fun and original movie! None of us liked Jessica Drew.
I didn't think it was that stretched out, there were some moments sure, but overall it was pretty damn good. Gwen definitely feels like a second main character rather than a side character, we do spend the first 5ish minutes of the movie with her. I'm mostly just glad that they didn't burden the movie with too much comic-relief, the Indian and English spidermen (I don't remember their names) are classic comic relief and I was worried that they would kill any serious vibe the movie tried to establish (like every marvel movie does) but as soon as things start to get serious, they just leave. The writers are smart enough not to undercut the emotion. Even Peter leaves well enough alone during the more serious parts. And I like that the twist at the end was slightly predictable, it made me feel smart, especially because it wasn't blindingly obvious, if I weren't paying attention, I would not have seen it coming.
This could be the first year ever where an animated superhero movie can outgross all of its live action competitors , bigger opening day than guardians 3 , highly impressive
That little mini-tantrum about Peter B Parker in this video is just you throwing your audience a bone. I get it. You need something to be outraged about. It’s the only way this grift can continue.
This film is insanely clever even in the small moments, like how spider punk steals the chip from the wall and that’s what ends up being added to the multiverse watch he delivers to Gwen. As well as when he says he doesn’t believe in consistency and that’s why his art style changes throughout the movie. And I always sat there thinking the film was was about to end and they added layer upon layer or one extra twist. I think they’ve given themselves an almighty task to write themselves a satisfying conclusion especially as they’ve written themselves 3 antagonists to miles in (SPOILER) Spot, Miguel and Prowler Myles… But from how much this film exceeded my expectations I do trust them to deliver
Miles had better character development in this movie than Tom's Spider-Man did since his introduction. That just goes to show how much MCU is holding him back. He could have been something special.
i agree and also disagree with that sentiment. It feels like Miles had "better" character development because they managed to do it within two movies rather than a string of movies spanning 7 years. I actually believe that no way home concluded his origin story as well as it could for the type of story it is. He finally became a Peter we were familiar with (broke college student on his own). It was a gradual process from him going from a kid who had his hand held by Tony Stark and his tech (which ironically was what people disliked) to someone who creates his own tech/suit and grows into his natural abilities rather than relying on backup or assistance from Tony or his tech. So on that note, I still think MCU Peter can still be special if not already special. It just took longer than we would have liked. P.S. I love the spiderverse movies more
Oh really? Morales is a garbage character with no personality, powers, or villains gallery of his own. He's a brown knockoff of the original, minus the personality. Screw you, Critical Drinker. Screw you. I know the comics.
@@anthonygomez3915 Yes, I don't see the problem with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, I never had an issue with him depending on Tony Stark, for a connected universe the Tony Stark connection was a change I didn't mind, and Tom's arc is mostly satisfying. I just hope his next movie is good, though. No Way Home was enjoyable because of them bringing old actors together but otherwise none of the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies have been anything special in my book, and doing a good job on the next one where Tom will be alone instead of having other existing characters to play off of might not be something they're able to pull off.
I agree with a lot in this video, but I have to disagree about Peter b Parker. (The grown original one) almost every iteration of Peter is always shown to be down in the dumps and the writers always take away anything good he has going for him. (satan literally poofs away his kids) the way he’s shown in this movie kinda seems like a middle finger to the idea that Peter can’t be happy and always has to be miserable to be “spider man”.
This movie was simply fantastic from top to bottom, never did I think the Into the Spider-Verse could be topped in terms of story, animation, and overall hype. Yet here I am buying my second IMAX ticket to see this film again! I reviewed the film on my channel with my colleagues, and I feel the same exact way going in for my third watch as I did for my initial one in terms of enjoyment. THE BAR FOR ANIMATED FILMS HAS BEEN RAISED AGAIN!!
I'm thinking Spiderverse is doing for superheroes and animation what Lord of the Rings did for live action and Fantasy. Obviously changes have to be made because of the different mediums, but you can tell research and love of the source material went into it. Thanks to this movie, I'm looking into getting more Spiderman comics.
I actually liked this one quite a bit more than the first one. I mean, I did enjoy Into the Spider-Verse but I wasn't as in love with it as so many other people were. But this one just felt so much more compelling to me. Also, I noticed the SAME THING as you did about how the animated seemed like motion-capture. It was great.
@@peterparker9954 That's not true, there is valid criticism of this one. For one, the part where they meet Miguel is exposition central. It just never stops, and everything happens way too fast. This film feels more like a setup for the third one than its own thing.
Funnily enough i actually think they did Peter B Parker really well. A lot of people tend to forget that between all the tragedy and heavy drama that makes it into all the films, in the comics Spider-man did a ton of goofy shit. We're talking about a superhero who during the winter in NYC swung around wearing ear muffs mittens and a scarf, all designed to match his costume.
He was still portrayed as a capable hero and he was the main hero of the story in his own comics. It's not the same thing at all. Wearing ear muffs and mittens and a scarf as part of a design choice to a comic presented as a sort of a whimsical in-comic joke, is not the same as what they're doing with his character in this movie which is to purposefully deemphasize his role as THE Spiderman and this is done on purpose with a clear creative end-goal by Sony and Marvel. It's not difficult to understand why.
@veredwol2936 of course they de emphasized his role, he's the mentor character, and the story isn't about him right now. It's about Gwen, Miles and Miguel. Based on the ending he'll certainly be more prominent in the next film.
5:19 that is an absolutely WILD take. Peter Is the BEST spider-man in the movie. It’s weird how you’re trying to bring Identity politics into it. Just because he’s not some super buff strong man punching everything he sees in sight does not make him a less capable “loser”. Hes the only spider-man that listened to miles, and also miguel is this big bad tough guy who literally every spider-man drops what they’re doing to do what he says and peter has his daughter RUNNING AROUND THE PLACE like he owns it. That’s an alpha move. He does what he wants and his daughter does too because he’s the most level headed and experienced spider-man, he was put to the side because it wasn’t his movie and he had plenty of screen time in the first one.
Tbh i didn't really see Peter b Parker as the bumbling old guy in this movie. He felt like another father figure to miles, especially with the little talk they had. I really don't have a reason as to why he'd bring the baby but the scenes with her were cute.
I saw this movie last saturday and I f*cking loved it. I enjoyed the spot as a villain, he started off goofy asf, and it actually got a laugh out of me. Who would have expected that the guy who got clonked with the bagel miles chucked would have turned into a supervillain. Excited to see what BTSV brings, and seeing Miles as the prowler caught me off guard, but I'm excited for that also
I think I have to disagree with your opinion about how they handled Peter. There's nothing more masculine than being a dad, and he's a good one at that. The pink bathrobe to me is just a silly symbol that constantly reminds us that he's a dad and has a family to take care of. He's definitely flawed, but that's exactly how I want him to be. I don't want him to be portrayed as a Mary Sue who's good at everything and never does anything wrong. I like that he has to redeem himself.
yeah I agree but I do wish some peters could be more apart of the plot ,that’s really my only complaint most of the spider men/women they introduced have stuck the landing for me peter b as well.But having more peters in this story would be nice too.
Argh! The spot, a single individual, can cause more damage to the multiverse than kang, or even and army of kangs. I felt a more doom and word ending vibe from spot after he got more powerful than I did with kang in both Loki and quantumania.
True… I think it was very smart to manage the expectations of his character by underestimating him and making a fool of him to his later development, the contrasts helped a lot to make him look menacing… I hope they don’t make too much a goofy character en the third one and keep it menacing.
When he first popped on screen on thought oh shit the spot, leaned over to my daughter, 14 years , that's the SPOT! He is baddd news and super strong! His powers are awesome! Then he was a joke and she rolled her eyes at me, I was shocked. Villain of the week I thought? THE SPOT? lol No way. When he started to get stronger she looked back at me with wide eyes, I said I know! His powers are insane.
@@sunriseslump2762 right? Every cut, the background palette would change entirely to match to tone of the scene. It was like a moving expressionist painting. Stunning.
@@SeraphsWitness looks good yes, the story was not well done. Most people will be too busy magpie-ing about the animation though and conflate that with good story telling.
@@ragnarok7976 the story was quite good. Not perfect like the animation, but good. Story was just overinflated. But overall better than most of what's out there.
The movie was pretty good. It was the second movie I've paid to see in the last 3+ years (the other being Top Gun). The stuff with the pregnant woman wasn't that bad, she barely participated in one action piece and did some recon in another. I think most people are just wary of anything that could even potentially be considered woke (myself included) since its become synonymous with bad storytelling/characterization at this point. This movie gives me hope that maybe western film isn't all complete garbage yet.
I could tell she was pregnant in the first scene but I didn’t notice a bump in any of the later scenes. I thought she maybe had the baby already or I just wasn’t looking hard enough.
@@uncuckableAlpha Lol, I didn't even see any of that, was too busy enjoying the story and animation art-styles. Damn, do people just specifically focus on woke content just to get triggered or something? Christ.
Peter Parker isn't belittled, he's one big heart. He's been broken and has come back, warmer, wiser and no longer doing snap judgements. You're selling him short, I think because you've been so annoyed at the whole emasculation in Hollywood, and thus seeing this trend even when it's not present.
I think part of why they had Peter's baby be on screen so much was to show that he had gotten his life together and was happy, also the kid is a version of May "mayday" Parker A.K.A. Spider Girl (Marvel's first Spider Girl) who went from being the main character of a single throw away issue of the anthology series What If? to having her own title that not only lasted a record setting length of time but helped spawn a bunch of other much less popular titles set in the same universe. in short the baby herself is a version of a pretty popular character and represents Peter x MJ, a pairing/romance that many fans Spider-man really like.
Good review, but going on an identity politics tamgent around 5:40 was kinda stupid. Peter isn’t portrayed like that because he’s a straight white male, but because marvel has just always done Peter really dirty, just look at “one more day” or the current amazing Spider-Man run
The spider-verse franchise is proof that we are not tired of superhero movies, we are tired of bad superhero movies.
Yeah but this an animated film too. Those tend to be more fun than the live-action films.
@@DoomRulz true, but it’s still a superhero movie regardless
I'm tired of superhero movies.
@@DoomRulz Animated films can do so much more than live-action.
It’s got Spider-Man slapped on the poster of course it’s going to sell. Even when westerns were as dead as a doornail Clint Eastwood could still pack a theater. The Spider-Man logo alone will put butts in seats and a halfway decent story will keep them coming back.
Sony will NEVER fully give up the rights to Spider-Man, it’s hilarious how they tell Marvel Studios/Disney “we’ll let you borrow him from time to time, but he’s ours”
Sony knows that Spider-Man is their money maker lmao
And I hope they keep that mentality.

@@don_hato Plus they know that Disney would milk Spider-man till its dry just everything else they've bought
@@louisduarte8763 is moviebob really trustworthy to tell us anything?
Though surprisingly that sounds accurate
I can't believe they briefly brought back Spectacular Spiderman. That show should have never been cancelled, thanks a lot Disney.
I was the most excited for his cameo. He had about 3 parts adding up to about 10 seconds I’d say.(not sure if you’ve seen it) his cameo was pretty lame tho and his line reinforces the villain but hopefully he does better in the second one.
The Spectacular Spider-Man is probably my favorite adaptation of the character, right next to Spider-Verse, Insomniac’s games, Sam Raimi’s trilogy and the 90’s cartoon. That show deserves to be concluded with the same writers.
In the german dub, the Peter in this series has the german voice of Tobey Maguire ❤❤
That show so masterfully introduced and maintained some of the coolest interactions of Spider-Man characters I've seen from Venom to Green Goblin to Molten Man. It's a crime it was canceled and I'm still salty to this day.
@@tubby1833 for me, Shocker was the best
Considering how sad and miserable comic peter parker is, seeing him being the fun loving and involved dad of his daughter is honestly such a breath of fresh air.
Yeah, I feel happy for him.
Didn’t you hear the drinker? Being a father and raising the next generation to be stronger is a blight on the straight white hope or whatever.
Also, let's be honest. The fact that she is a daughter of Peter and Mary Jane Watson as well as a version of Mayday Parker/Spider Girl? Means that she herself has quite a few fans that were happy to see her on screen.
His complaint about it was so pathetic like holy shit
@@Lucassaur0I think he’s just so used to how modern cinema makes white men out to be useless and bumbling fools, and lumped this in with that
I had some of the same thoughts but I really do like how he’s found some purpose and he’s raising a daughter. I think it’s endearing.
Im gonna say it, i love that the relationship of Gwen and her father is nice, im so sick of every female main character being a dick for no reason to every male in the screen, seeing Gwen hug her father despise the difference on how they do good in the world made me so happy!
Agreed, I'm also sick of almost every father figure nowadays being portrayed as abusive, mean, lazy or bumbling idiots.
It was semi realistic and decently relatable to younger adults/teens imo
Problem is they can't be a decent father figure by...being a father figure. He's "supportive" of tranny Stacy and it's fucking ridiculous. A father who supports their child by not giving into their delusional thoughts is a good father. A father that enables is not.
i think they didnt have any feminists involved in the production. so thats why gwen was like that
@j2cripple well, a blackwashed, pregnant Jessica Drew exists. So maybe there were a couple feminists on the writing staff
Now it makes sense why the spider that bit Miles was glitching
And also why vulture randomly appeared at the end of morbius
Lol
My brother pointed that out to me and it all clicked for me
I noticed it in the first movie and wondered why it was never brought up again in the first film
@@RedDevilStudio lmaooo they realized the ending to morbius made 0 sense so they had to fix it
What I will say im genuinely surprised how well the film made the Spot into a terrifying villian after hes played off as a moron in the beginning with him showing Miles his future and his new character design after the collider explosion
That really impressed me as well. The transition from goofy side-villain to intimidating Big Bad was done so seamlessly and felt surprisingly natural.

Weak? The entire chase scene shows Peter is damn near miles ahead of the other Spiders while putting in half the effort. Man got a 1 on 1 talk, while the only other one who did was Miguel after quite literally clawing his way to it.
yeah man
Exactly
almost like CD just has to find some "wokeness" to complain about so that the white supremacists in his audience do not abandon him. He almost got through one video here, but you can never forget to pet your biggest fans.

@@horace6851 That’s what happens when you look too hard for things that are on either the “woke” or “racist” side of the scale. You start to lose touch, and miss out on the joy of the simplest things.
I thought Peter B Parkers arc was great. He didn't get sidelined, he didn't get belittled or anything. He got over his mental health issues, reconciled with MJ and actually got a kid with her. We can see, that their relationship works great and he loves their kid dearly.
Also he is really proud of Miles and takes every opportunity to tell the other spiderpeople, that he himself was Miles' mentor and teacher.
And he always tries to diffuse the situation, because he knows and understands what Miguel is about and why things have to be the way they are. But he also loves Miles and doesn't want the kid to get hurt.
It's also nice to portray having children in a positive light. Such a low bar is rarely accomplished these days
I do hope that he gets to shine in a more direct way in the finale. A loving, supportive, caring mentor character deserves genuine respect, and he’s *still* Spiderman and deserves to show it. I’m ok with his treatment in this film because I have high hopes that he will get to rise in the 3rd act. Dads can still be awesome. Every dad who ever had to defend his family is proof of that
I agree Drinker is wildin
@@MrCarlbrooksYeah Peter B plays a different role
@@MrCarlbrooks Nah if you actually look at it though, she serves a purpose just like the original Parker. She's the one that sees Gwen for the trouble she's going through and forced Miguel into bringing her into the fold and becoming her mentor. Just like how Miles needs a male mentor I see how Gwen makes use of a female mentor that can relate to and support her at a level someone else wouldn't.
I just appreciate that these movies are helping remove the stigma that animated films can’t be emotionally powerful and enjoyable to all audiences. I’m still annoyed the Oscar’s have a animated section as if it’s a genre when it’s really a medium for any genre.
THIS!! IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE LABELING ANIMATED FILMS AS "CHILDREN ONLY"
So, we're going to pretend there's no "Protect Trans Kids" poster in the movie? ruclips.net/video/h4IILi8Nr8I/видео.html
@@Hitomihubby exactly my friend! It just so happens that it is a medium that is great for kids!
I think the western audience understands the power of animation and that it is infact a medium but Hollywood doesn't seem to understand. Hope that maybe Spiderverse will pioneer longer animated films (only good ones and that are actually excusable) and a wide range of films that actually encapsulate the full scope of story's the medium can tell
@@indianruckus6412 Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood really doesn't understand that or if they refuse to acknowledge it. Kinda like they are afraid that animation will take over live action so they had to downplay them as much as possible. But then again that is just speculation on my part.
In defense of the way they treat peter parker in these movies.
The peter in miles' home universe was a big shot where everything went right until one mistake cost him his life. Then he was celebrated as a hero.
Peter B Parker was an emotional wreck who made a lot of mistakes and led a miserable life. He wanted to sacrifice himself at the end of the first movie, and when he failed to do that, he went back to his universe and started turning his life around. Starting with getting back together with MJ and having a kid. I respect the redemption arc.
Agreed. His story arc and his relationship with Miles arc were mostly resolved in the first, while Gwen's really wasn't, and I think that's ultimately what led to her having so much screen time this time around. Instead of paring down the heavy moments for Miles and Gwen, which is what most movies do, the animators dropped the rest of the gang's (Noir, Penny, Spider-Ham) screen time where most movies would feel obligated to keep them all in for a false sense of completeness.
Yea, but they could've presented him completely different in this movie while maintaining the same character development from the first movie.
To be fair, if Miles wasn't there he definitely would have lived (Wow, Miguel was right or something!). Then again, it was still his fault for positioning the goober upside down. If he positioned it right on the first try he would have stopped the collider in the nick of time.
I think there was nothing to tell anymore. What we see in the sequel are the fruits of the growth he experienced in the first film and he is just fulfilled.
Yes. That was the point of showing him with his kid. Its a callback to him telling Miles he thinks he wants kids since meeting and mentoring him, in the last movie. Critical Drinker tries to invoke a really toxic ideology sometimes. So I would advise against letting him dictate how you should think. He had a really bad take on Peter B Parker, because of his own issues.
I kinda disagree with your take on Peter, besides the reduced screen time. He didn’t bring his daughter to a battlefield, he brought to a place surrounded by Spider-people, all of whom are heroes. We even see Miguel properly handle her too, and I think Peter brought her there in the first place to meet Miles. And even then, Peter was shown to think better than the other Spider-people, as he was able to quickly find Miles. The only gripe is how little screen time he got.
Yes. But what is your answer to this question, why did peter take his baby in the last scene? Peter knows he is going to a dimension with no Spiderman to get miles, so it will be pure chaos in there. Also spot might attack them on the way, so the baby just hold him back. So why did he take her in the last part of the movie? Also mj clearly asked him whether he took her to his job, and he lied. Now he is doing it again? You have to remember mj is not busy or anything, she is available at home to take care of the baby. But still peter is determined to bring mayday to wherever he goes, even it's danger . Why?
@@samkj1953 this is a good point, and a flaw I will concede for the movie. Peter should not be bringing Mayday with him if he’s going with the rescue team for Miles.
Yeah, drinker was being nitpicky there
@@lonewanderer3219 Peter taking Mayday everywhere with him actually makes more sense than people realise.
Think about it from MJ’s perspective; how could she look after a toddler who can climb up walls/swing to different buildings etc.
Peter is the only one who can handle Mayday and stop her from getting into dangerous situations.
My biggest problem with this movie is that they completely emasculated and ruined Peter B Parker.
Peter is SPIDER-MAN he is smart he is not dumb enough to take his 2-3 yo daughter to multiverse. His characters does not have any motivation whatsoever and is basically ruined and reduced to "Talk to my daughter, play with my daughter, hold my daughter" WTH!! They are trying to make the miles morales THE Spider-Man. And for that reason they are not going to show peter in his classic suit or give him heroic personality, because then audience will quickly realise who real spider man is. Peter is gone, and we have got that little pos. Scenes with her daughter are not eben cute they are annoying.

@@jaydenbrown1438 had to do with a woman claiming that Cleopatra is black (as a source for the crap known as Cleopatra documentary)

I really liked how this film really emphasized 2099's motivation and how even though he's right about many things, he still overlooks the flaws in his own crusade to protect the multiverse and how maybe some stories aren't meant to play out as intended.
He isn't really 2099 though. They for some reason revamped his entire story to take away what made him unique. He no longer has access to time travel although somehow they can predict the future? His mission was to stop Alchemax but now it was he wanted a family (that was just Kingpin's from the first one). Spider-Man 2099 was not this Miguel O'Hara. Hell they even gave him a separate universe even though he is just the Spider-Man of the future
@@Antonio-ys5zd I mean they have implicitly indicated time travel anyway. If the spider that bit miles was one that was supposed to bite a Peter then the spider had to have traveled forward in time as well as across the universe to bite miles after the Peter in his universe was already spider man.
But hey can't expect much concern for detail from people who think you can strap on a pair of Jordans and still cling to walls.
@@ragnarok7976 clothing has never been a factor to wall crawling but time doesn't seem to be linear whatsoever in the different universes. But they purposely removed all potential for time travel otherwise Miguel could just stop Miles from being bitten
@@Antonio-ys5zd it has though wether you are talking electrostatic cling or setae method, clothing that is too thick does impact his ability to cling to walls.
Yeah the time lines line up to the same period when it's convenient for them to do so and they don't when it isn't. Gotta take away time control because they are already struggling with the multiverse plot.
@@ragnarok7976 factor in the other clothing that any film or TV show has used and it gets weird for clinging too. Yes based on just the very minor details not a single time frame is measured between universes such as how Peter had Mayday in what Miles said was only a few months to maybe a year. And their multiverse does hold various flaws but time travel is easy enough to incorporate but would easily resolve all conflict
I really liked Peter B Parker in both films. One of the common themes in Spiderman is that there is a price for these high flying heroics. We saw some of that in the second Sam Raimi film, but it really hits home with Peter B Parker who has done his best to protect NY from supervillians but gets the short end of the stick because the time spent on heroics left him with less time to take care of himself and the people he cares for. The fact that he kept putting on the suit when his life would be easier and more comfortable if he turned his back on heroics may be the most heroic thing about him. He's actually a lot more interesting than the blonde Peter Parker from Miles' own universe who had everything worked out.
My biggest problem with this movie is that they completely emasculated and ruined Peter B Parker.

I agree, he is maybe the most likable Spider-Man I’ve ever seen. That’s the whole point of this character, Spider-Man is the hero of the people, he has a strong correlation with everyone. If young Peter in the 60s, then Ultimate Peter in the 00s, etc.. they have a strong connection with young people, also the struggles of adult life… Peter B. Parker is the next stage so to speak, when you form a family and move on. Such a great character. I really hope Miles can reach this state of being relatable, because this character always felt so unnatural and forced, the initial comics written by Bendis are really bad, the PS4 games also, Miles feels like a anime protagonist who receives power ups from nowhere, no personality, no romantic interest, etc.. the character is super bland. Spider-Verse salvaged a lot, it gave him a personality (kinda, tying his aesthetics with hip hop is at least something), a romantic interest… and that’s it, it’s a work in progress. Let’s see if he will learn his lesson about responsibility… or if he will just be “whatever he wants” just to break the establishment. This second movie tries really hard to be “punk”, which is neat to some extent (hard to root for arrogant assholes, but Spider-Verse Miles is still in development), but let’s see how things are going to be wrapped up
This further shows to me the incompetence of Disney’s attempts at live action. Animation is a medium where ANYTHING is possible. Expressions, action, and explosions of color are amazing to behold. Live action with some films are fine, but there is simply zero replacement for the unique story telling of animation. A huge bravo to the designers and artists of this film! Loved it!!!
They trade that in for using Live-Action to be "taken seriously" by the adult audiences.
Nah, i will stay with the live action. This looks like it will give me elpilepsia and an aneurisma together
@@savannahforsyth2942 that’s alright! Spiderverse is a busy looking movie with lots of colors. But give it a shot! The previous movie and this one are sensational.

To be honest, I liked that it was more focused on Gwen. We already saw Mile's story, so it seemed natural that this one would focus more on her.
No, because it's not her movie, he is the main hero of the trilogy is he not?
@@rpgadventurer32 he still is. He got the most screentime.
But I have a feeling that she might die in the third movie to sacrifice herself to save Miles. I know that sounds bullshit but too be fair, she could consider herself as anomaly since she said it herself: "Every Spiderman always lose Gwen" and she's a variant of Gwen Stacy who becomes Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider / Spider-Woman. She's even encouraging Miles' parents to tell that their son is gonna be okay. Which I think it's a bad news that she might gonna die in the sequel because usually a character whose encouraged the other character always die. I don't think it's gonna be Peter B. Since he just become a dad and Miguel has saved his universe before so he will not fall in the same way. Or worse case scenario, Miles' dad gonna die like what canon event has to be.
@@rpgadventurer32 Yeah but it's a good thing in movies to flesh out your characters. Miles still has more screentime and the focus is on him proving that he is Spiderman and him getting powers wasn't a mistake. The next part will go more into that. Besides, I doubt we'll ever get a movie or show with Spider-Gwen so I'm thankful that we got stuff with her.
I mean...it's called Spider-MAN though..so it wouldn't be crazy to think it would be about a male Spidey😂
Peter B Parker's daughter is actually another comic Spider character. She was the first Spider-girl introduction in a multiverse timeline story.

@@BladeEdgeShinobi She is, technically. She's considered canon in the same way as Rachel (Marvel Girl/Phoenix II) and Nathan Dayspring Summers (Cable/The Traveler) are. They may be from alternate realities, but they exist in some for in the 616, the only true Marvel universe.
@@TheMetalAllfather they come from possible futures
@@Joxshuxa same case as Miguel O'Hara, albeit he came from a different possible future and then was displaced into the mainline marvel universe (at least in the case of the comics).
Peter B Parker. Is and was fantastic in both movies. He was effortlessly competent in being Spider-Man, but he lost his love for being Spider-Man and self confidence for being anything but spider-man. By mentoring Miles he rediscovered his love for Spider-Man and his faith in himself.
In across the Spider-verse we see that he has become a loving father, but is torn between doing what he feels is right and protecting his daughter.
A daughter who has super powers and so can not just be easily watched by mom.
I think his arc is wonderful.

Correct. Just watched this movie 2 days ago, and now knowing who's the main protagonist of the PS5 spidey 2 game it makes sense the Why.
Also what they did to Ben Reilly, making him a joke. For those out there he was for a brief moment Spider-Man, because Peter thought he was the clone, Aunt May just died, MJ was pregnant, all this things make Peter to quit so Ben became the real Spidey.
Peter is Spider-Man
Ben is Scarlet-Spider
Miles should be known as Dark-Spider. If he shares the same universe as Peter.
Not for his skin colour, his suit is black.
I actually really like Peter in the film. He is an older character who is a dad, and hecka proud of it. He wears the baby carrier with grace *remember there was a time when weirdos would say a dad wearing that was awful and not masculine while at the same time complaining man never help* He's chilling going around with comfy slippers and a bathrobe with no shame. I never took it as the writer trying to put him down. More like, his priority is his daughter. He is one of my favs. ❤
I thought he was fine. I think the film could have used him more prominently.
@@user-vg8ox3he1i im assuming they’ll show him more in the second part
His bathrobe felt like an upgrade from his sweatpants from the first movie- they flipped it on its head, so instead of the sweatpants showing his apathy the bathrobe shows him taking responsibility
I was actually happy he was in the film since he was a major standout in the firsy
@@Meraxes6 Yea, the joggers represented how he was down and out and didn't care about his appearance, where the robe shows how comfortable he is in life now.
Ehhh I don't agree with that Peter B. Parker take. In all honesty if you look at his actions throughout the 1st and 2nd films and look past the humor you'll find that he's... pretty much been the most effective Spider-Person we've seen.
His only missteps and mistakes are due to him glitching or Miles messing up in the 1st film. He's the first one to actually track down Miles and catch him clean in the 2nd.
The first go around in the Spider Society is perfectly okay to bring a kid with as he's going to negotiate with Miles in an area where it's majority copies of him. It might be genuinely be the safest place in the multiverse for May on paper.
Also him being a stereotypically, over joyful dad is just added character development especially when you compare him now to how he first appeared.
The Peter we get is probably the best and most well-rounded version of Peter Parker we've had that I can remember. If you had to be protected by any Peter Parker we've seen outside of the comics then Peter B. Parker is probably your best bet on paper.
I'm just happy we finally got MJ and Pete together instead of that deal-with-the-devil bullshit.
Yep, he wasn't all fluff. He provided the moderate tone to Miguel's over-the-top edge. There was less actual 'growth' in this movie though because his personal character arc and relationship with Miles arc was mostly resolved in Into the Spider-Verse. Which was probably why Gwen got a lot more screen time here. Her personal story was never resolved and her relationship with Miles in the first also never became clearly defined.
100%. Plus its super realistic and closer to the comics. An older Peter with years of being spiderman would be exhausted. He's happy with his little girl because she is one of the first things that has brought him joy in years. And he deserves it. I love to see it.
Honestly where Peter B Parker is rn is where his 616 comic counter part should be rn who is a mess in its own right cause witters don’t wanna see him grow. Happy to see him with MJ and be a family man
exactly Peter B is from a skills, experience and knowledge perspective, probably the BEST Spider of them all as hes been doing it for almost 25 years. but it came at the cost of him screwing up his personal life (that hes now getting back to)
5:40 Nah, they gave Peter B. Parker a marriage and a kid bcuz the perennial Spidey fans have wanted that of him since the 90s. He's funny without being a mockery, wise without being overt, and improved in the sense of him finding an equilibrium in life that only happened because Miles showed him teaching a new generation can be rewarding.
Peter represents the filmmakers and their positive view of parenthood being a growing and learning experience, with hurdles to be sure, but rewarding if done with love and attention.
Yep. You nailed it.
Peter was married to MJ til that one more day comic 😢
W comment
Yep. Critical drinker missed a few takes on this movie definitely
@@edofarido3175 he always misses stuff because he’s an idiot.
"excessive focus on supporting characters"
I really don't agree with that one. Gwen is just as much a protagonist in this part as Miles is. The damn movie even starts with her.
It’s not like the lead character has much to say anyway, Miles remains lost in a limbo. These movies are trying their best to further develop him, which is commendable, usually these side-kicks/token characters are extremely derivative (Batman has a literal “family” of characters like these), but Miles is very slowly developing into a actual character (he is very selfish and arrogant in this movie, that goes in-line with the “punk” nature of this sequel, but it’s a work progress, who knows how he will end up)
But that’s the problem, you’re not supposed to have two protagonists. The “second main character” is known as a deuteragonist. People wanted to watch the movie for Miles not Gwen
@@luispalao7418 The majority are willing to watch this movie because of Spider-Man as a symbol really, to see how far they go with the variations, the animation techniques, etc.. the Miles character arc is a highlight, sure, but it's not the main attraction. Gwen was a fan favorite in the first movie, it's natural to highlight her in this sequel, that's far from being a problem in my pov
@luispalao7418 you realise story's are allowed to have mutiple main characters or do you just not like game of thrones, Star wars, the lord of the rings, alien, Alien 2, the incredibles, the Avengers, Avengers Infinity War, Star trek or pretty much any epic I just don't get the complaint of a moving having 2 main characters. Like why critise this movie for it but not the above ones.
@@luispalao7418 says who? This movie did amazing, so i guess people do want to watch it
The pregnant spider woman was ridiculous. Everytime she showed up for a fight i just thought to myself, "why didnt they send a non pregnant person?"
The baby is gonna be a pinkish goo by the time it comes out.
Absolutely ridiculous! We need more realistic characters, like the Spectacular Spider-Ham. Peter Porker is far more realistic.
/s
She's a spider-person with insane durability, why wouldn't she if there's no risk for the kid (which it shouldn't since spiderpowers are hereditary)
My reaction was more "finally a pregnant lady on the battlefield that makes sense"
Same goes for Peter and his kid, she's superpowered, pretty little risk (and Peter never takes part in the fight, he just follows and tried to distract people)
@@Briaaanz Actualy yes , having a looney tunes type character fight is far more realistic than having a heavily pregnant woman fight. The reason why is : we avtualy know the effects of pregnancy. Women while pregnant can't fight and if they do , they can have a miscarage. I don't know about you but a cartoonish anthropomorphic pig sounds lije a better idea than a literal walking miscarage.
More ridiculous than Miles's mentor bringing an actual baby with him to a fight? 🤨
I think the tedium of Miles' talks with his parents is intentional and honestly pretty accurate to experiences I've had and seen throughout my life. As a teenager you have a lot you want to tell your parents that just doesn't seem to come out. Getting choked on feelings and secrets and of course the fear of what your parents will say when you actually do get the truth out is an all too real feeling that, even as a grown man, I still get sometimes. It's frustrating, but it's real, and for that I really appreciated the movie going there, even if it did start to feel like padding at times.
Kind of an aside, but I think you'd really enjoy Daniel Mackler's videos. They've helped me work through difficult internal struggles like this a lot. Much love.
I agree fully. I found the repetitive conversations to add a feeling of legitimacy and authenticity. What teenager just had a talk with their parents and then everything is resolved?
The way they did it felt real to me, not redundant. I really appreciate the character development, the time devoted to Miles and his parents, and the breathing room they gave that relationship.
I don't want them to show me "only as much as they need to and nothing more" when it comes to Miles. Give him and his family relationship space to really establish themselves. I disagree with the Drinker on this one.
I know what you mean, and that's a good observation, IMO. Parents can be very hard to talk to. I'm an older guy and mine still try to talk to me as if they necessarily know more than I about virtually any possible subject, even those which they clearly know nothing about. And as if I should always hear their opinion about everything. And at length. And then once or twice again. Beyond tedious, not nice, and in no way useful.
Don't feel bad. I'm a 50-year-old pediatrician who has been practicing medicine for over 24 years. My mom still gives me medical advice, even though she knows nothing about medicine.
100%. I think those slower scenes were a risky, but ultimately important, part of the movie. The buildup of the tension between the parents and Miles is resolved there as Rio (mom) acts like the mom that sees more of her boy than Miles realizes. Her entire speech to him about not forgetting the little boy and making sure no one tells him he doesn't belong is the inner push he needs when he is told by Miguel that he doesn't belong and is an anomaly. Spiderverse has always balanced this well, and they basically were able to recreate the triumphant What's up Danger moment in a longer time frame than the first, where Captain Jefferson tells Miles that he sees a spark in him. I'm honestly surprised people seem to have missed that.
And lastly, the breakneck pace of a lot of the other parts of the film really needed the slower burn of these intro scenes. People seem to misconstrue gravity and breathing room for filler since most movies are made to shave off every single possible excess they can, but what that creates are the standard MCU movies. The runtime was long in this movie because there was too much to do, and clearly what they chose to shave off here was really any development of invested characters in the first (Noir, Penny, Spider-Ham) so that they wouldn't need to sacrifice Gwen's, Peter B Parker's, and Miles.
Anyone who reads the comics knows Peter B. gets treated with way more respect than mainstream Peter does right now.

I was completely blown away by it. Certain shots really justify seeing this on the big screen. The artists deserve all the praise that can be given.
It’s funny how the movies, while not perfect, actually tried to make Miles interesting and compelling in a way. While in the comics, he’s just a carbon copy of Peter.
Except he isnt ur just spouting the same crap as nerdrotic and other conservatives. Miles is excellent in the comics which is why they did this movie in the first place because he had so much love and fans u bozo

Didn’t mind the Peter stuff. He took his kid who seems capable into a lair of nothing but alternative versions of himself which would look out for her as well even in a chase.
And with all the stuff going on the comics, it’s actually refreshing to see Peter Parker just as a simple, happy, stereotypical dad, which is a life he’s earned. He still was very capable as Spider-Man to me.
Didnt seem very capable this movie.

@@yaya2breezy591 Why? Because he wants to hate on something? It's a nothing-burger.
@@NM-ev7pu because lately in a lot of movie a white American man are usually always seen as bad guy, useless, bummy, pathetic losers.
@@yaya2breezy591 I PARTICALLY agree with him. I don't think he was disrespected for the reasons he stated. But there was that one scene where he felt off to me while I was watching it where Gwen was challenging Miguel even though she was afraid of him and even though he should be right there with her defending Miles, Peter's just in the background having suddenly grown afraid of confrontation.... Which is not the vibe I got from Peter B from the first movie but that's a choice... I guess. I can't tell if that was just an unintentional side effect of focusing on Gwen's arc though. It depends on how the third movie wraps things up because if it ends with Miles being right AND having no consequences and he just goes "LMAO, this wasn't a morally nuanced situation at all, everyone but me was just an idiot. Can't believe I ever admired those pathetic losers. They're fake Spider-people," then I'll know for sure that it was very intentional.
There's literally a scene where's he's called a "bad mentor." This movie definitely shits on him after his redemption arc in the first.
It’s still amazing how they went from the emoji movie to this. It really shows how much they have learned from their mistakes unlike cough, cough(Disney )

Sony should just focus more on making animated Marvel Movies.
@@microphonejacket Like with Morbius?
@@mateoreyes6921 we don't talk about Morbuis.
Lol. They learn their mistakes with animated movies. Not live action. 😅
I think the idea of a spider death-cult that is the product of these shared traumas becoming hallowed myths and rites of passage is fascinating. People often think of individuals who get suckered into cults as being dumb or evil but the reality is that it's more about the right persona coming with the right story that helps you deal with your personal trauma.
It's not about being gullible but about being vulnerable. It's not a mistake that Gwen and Miles both talk about how alone they feel in the beginning of the movie, how they have nobody else they can talk to about being super heroes. They can't even talk to their parents about it.
Then they get brought in by some impressive outsiders who totally get what they're going through. Not only do they get it, they tell you all the bad shit that happened to you is actually part of a larger design that will lead to you having really happy moments later! That's a compelling story lots of cults use to get people to come in, and it's also part of how they get otherwise normal, rational and benevolent people to tolerate or inflict abuse onto others.
huh, this is weirdly right... I wonder if that was their intention?
That’s correct B:., even the first movie gives that vibe through the whole “leap of faith” concept.
Ye, the Spider Society seems like a cult.
I mean its still guillble because you shouldn't be going around trusting random ppl you don't even know. In fact you bringing up how cults manipulate and groom ppl into their cults is exactly the reason ppl who forgot stranger danger is makes them naive and guillble and falling into very obvious red flags and traps.
@@dewolf123 Some people that get sucked into cults aren't inherently gullible people, though. They're going through a tough time and are emotionally and mentally vulnerable, when they usually wouldn't be. They may even see the red flags but they're in such a bad place that the cult seems better than wherever they're coming from.
I'm a bit surprised how many critics go for the duration, personally it went by super quick for me and enjoyed every minute. For me they could have gone for 1h more with those gorgeous paintings all over. I loved the style of Gwen's universe, by far my favorite, but the fact that they changed the style during the movie made it way more enjoyable, kind of like going to a museum and going through the different expositions (on top of watching an awesome movie).
I was just in awe and appreciated that we got a dedicated prologue to show an arc for Gwen and a conclusion as well later in the movie. I never would have expected to see an in-depth adaptation of her story in any on-screen media.
This. I wasn't bored for a second and the scenes with Miles' mom were golden. After Puss in the Boots it's finally yet another animated movie where the story can breathe, characters talk to and with each other.
Thank you. As soon as Gwen brings Miles to the multiverse then the movie just flies by
Same. If a movies enjoyable I don’t mind if it’s long.
frrr
Did not expect that deranged rant about Peter B Parker lmao
Nothing more deranged than a grown man defending a childrens movie that pushes the same old woke race relations. The straight white people in these movies are either tired old guys, villains, or the blonde racial trophy. The same people who pay for this movie pay for the adult films starring the same themes, some of the most highly produced propaganda despite being the least popular racial combos in the world. The population statistically rejects it yet they push it over and over and over.
Knowing that context you'd have to be silly in the brain to not notice Peters castration here.

I wouldn't say well balanced. That to be continued was an extremely hard stop.
@@vexatiously9984I don’t think you understand what balance the OP was referring to. They said the PLOTS were balanced well, meaning that there was sufficient time allotted to both plots to allow for each one to feel properly setup. The feeling of a hard stop at the ending is more so an attribute of smoothness and resolution than it is balance. The difference is that it’s not supposed to feel smooth or resolute because the next movie is a continuation.
this movie has hidden messages that are pro child mutilation, look it up
Spoiler alert (not that I care)
Civil war, not that much. I think once Gwen and her team find miles they are gonna end up fighting Earth 42 Miles. Miguel’s focus is on the spot but u think he will have a change of heart and if I to predict who will make the hero’s sacrifice it will he him.
I'm in the same boat on Miles Morales. Comic book fans say he's just a race swapped token Peter Parker, but in the first movie and the newest Spider-Man games, he's a well-written and compelling character I like quite a bit.
Thing is, he WAS a race-swapped Peter Parker when they introduced him in the comics. Into the Spiderverse is the first iteration where he's his own character with his own story. Sony breathed life into Miles' story where it had little before
The take on the comics is true. So glad they changed him up and made him amazing in the movie. He may be my favorite Spider-Man now.
He is a derivative character and he needs his own identity and own super hero name.
There was a very short period of time he was known as "Kid Arachnid", and if they'd of stuck to their guns and kept him with his own identity I guarantee more people would be receptive of him. I see a lot of people assume people don't like Miles "because he's a black Spider-Man", when the reality (in most cases at least) is that people just want him to be his OWN CHARACTER and to stop riding the coattails of Peter Parker. I personally like what Into the Spider-Verse tried to do with him, (as well as the first Insomniac game) even if I still feel they couldn't fully break him free of "Peter Parker knock-off" syndrome.
Also, lesser complaint, why did they raceswap Jessica Drew when we already had a black Spider-Woman way before Jessica Drew ever took the moniker? Valerie the Librarian would have been perfect for that spot, and would have been a fun way to introduce a lesser known Spider character, BIG missed opportunity there. Jessica Drew isn't even a traditional "Spider person" to begin with, but whatever, nerd rant over 😅
The marvel comic version of Miles Morales is poorly written unlike the spiderverse movies.
One of the directors - Joaquim Dos Santos - was a lead writer for Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008). Beyond the Spider-Verse will likely have phenomenal payoffs.
Assuming the television show, not shyamalon's shit show.
@@markuhler2664 We don't talk about that. It doesn't exist.
There is no Last Airbender movie.
@@markuhler2664Yes, I was talking about the animated series from 2005-08 that aired on Nickelodeon.
@@markuhler2664 To be fair, he had little control over that movie. Nicola Peltz really wanted to be Katara, so her father, Nelson Peltz, pulled some strings to make it happen. That decision meant that the entire Water Tribe had to be European. There was a ton of location scouting done which resulted in the film originally being mainly shot in Greenland. Then the budget was pushed towards VFX which resulted in the only on-location shooting being done on the cheap. The executives also had Shyamalan rewrite the movie into the final film.
I absolutely loved the visual element in this film, and found it geniously creative and lightyears beyond anything Pixar or Disney have done in recent times. I also liked how, like in Puss in Boots TLW, they used this animation in creative ways (framerate, color palette, style (oils, 3d, line drawing....) to reflect details and motifs of the story, and even to give cheeky hints to the viewer of things and reveals that are to come.
SPOILERS
For example, when Miles returns from the Spiderman central back into his universe, he's in this dark, emotional place, darting across the town to save his father. The animation seems to reflect that: his black and red suit darting accross the green rain really informs us of the mood and his mental state.
Only it informs us of much more than just that. This isn't the colour palette of his universe, but of universe 42 - that of his spider. It's a really great and subtle hint of the big reveal that is yet to come. I found it was absolutely genius.
TLW got those ideas from the spiderverse movies not the other way around but yeah I agree
Yeah that was brilliantly well done! Bravo Lord and Miller and bravo to all the animators.👏🏻
I mostly agree, but for a keen-eyed vievers you can see "Earth-42" in the machine that sends him there at the end of the escape from spider society so it wasn't really a surprise.

Yeah, its weird to see Peter B. Parker bringing him and MJ's daughter with him in Across the Spider-Verse, but hey, considering Marvel Comics editorial STILL refuses to undo One More Day sixteen years later and let mainline Peter Parker be a Spider-Dad while Miles Morales covers the young relatable Spider-Man niche, I speak on behalf of the Spider-Man fandom when I say its nice to see other pieces of Spider-Man media take deliberate potshots at Marvel's refusal to let Peter Parker grow up.
Honestly, if you wanna have a new kid in the Spider role, then there's really only two ways for Peter to go. Either retired/dead mentor, or he has to be the Spider Dad, bringing in that whole dynamic and the new problems/stories that can bring. The nice thing about multiverses, is that you can do both.
I thought there's still a line of comics set in that universe where Peter and MJ have a daughter who inherited his powers. I 'member one arc having the Xavier Institute for the Gifted inviting her to enroll, basically joining The X-Men.
Dammit MARVEL, you're teasing us with a timeline where things worked out better than your main one!
I just hope Sony doesn't have her aged up into a teenager like in the floppies. Miles and Gwen fulfill that demographic already. Let her stay a little kid.

After One More Day Joe Quesada told people that if they wanted married Spider-Man they could read that comic, and so pretty much overnight it became the best selling Spiderbook Marvel had. In a fit of rage Quesadilla cancelled it despite it's massive success.
Peter Parker, a capable dad that loves and looks after his kid and that leaves a sour taste in your mouth? The last film showed him at his lowest point and this one showed that he had recovered from being in a bad place and he had gotten his life back together and you think that's mocking him, weird take.

That was a conscious decision by the writers and it's not difficult to understand why they did it. It's the same reason for what they've been doing in the video games including the upcoming one and the same reason they've announced a new Miles Morales live action movie. There is a very obvious end goal here by Sony and Marvel.

Spider-verse does more for multiverse ideas in a single film than MCU has managed to with several films. What's scary about this film is that it packs more creativity in any fifteen minute period than most films have in their runtime. The art styles, productions values, and animation tricks... I felt like I was somehow watching the worlds more cogent acid trip but not feeling lost in the slightest. It isn't quite as strong as the original on its own purely because it isn't a completed arc like "Into" was. Likelihood is that how I feel about this film will be altered by how "Beyond" sticks the landing. That said it is absolutely amazing and I feel spoiled by the film. We have had an embarrassment of true treasures between this and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in this last year.

I don't exactly like what they did to Peter, but Mary-Jane is not a mother perfectly capable of looking after the baby. Their child has Spider-powers. Only someone else with super powers would be able to handle her. Peter not only has the ability to keep up with her , but also has his spider sense which would constantly tell him when she's in potential danger. That being said, there is no excuse for him taking his baby to a potential dimension ending mission and it's something Peter would never do. A simple line like "I'll call a sitter, I have a lot of amazing friends" would've easily dealt with that nonsense.
Agreed! Though to be honest, and I'm going to get heat, compared to the rest of the problems the film has, that's the least of its issues.
EXACTLY!!! Peter B. Ow. Universe has it's own superheroes with badass powers that can and even surpasses Peter's own powers for a sitter to be with MJ while Peter goes off to an actual real life or death situation with no holds bar.

I loved how this movie had built up a more mature and emotional story, that continued on the previous story. The animation was incredible, and the tension between Gwenn and Miles was really good
My one major concern is that when I came out of the film, I was on nobody's side. I understand where Miles is coming from, but Miguel reveals things that make it hard for me to not wanna believe Miles isn't thinking all the way. As long as the third film comes to both sides learning something and still challenge Miles in what he's trying to do, then we should be good.
Disagree with the opinion on Peter B Parker. At the start of the first movie he had low self esteem and was self-destructive leading to the dissolution of his marriage. He said he was frightened at the thought of having children. But at the end of the first movie he took a “leap of faith” and reconciled with MJ. Him having Mayday and being a happy dad shows a positive character progression from the first movie. He’s accepted himself to take the risk of being a parent and is clearly much happier in his relationship with MJ. He was still portrayed to be a good mentor despite the other characters attempting to dig at him & and they were all proven wrong each time. It didn’t feel like the story was undermining him at all. He’s also always been a more comic relief lovable loser type of character as well and his portrayal was absolutely in line with how he was established in the first movie, just evolved and matured.
Since im the same age as Miles, I managed to empathize with him a lot, I even got emotional in a scene with his mother, it was wonderful. This isnt a movie like no way home, here the cameos are the least of it, the important thing is the protagonist and he is a character that you care about and you fell sad for the bad things that happend to him
As a black man online, I too found myself enthralled in the story
The plot was 10/10 for this movie and the emotional aspect of it has you fully entranced. If it did that to you, that means it was a great plot!
@@HasanPikerIsADouche Wait... so you turn black when you go online as well? Shiiiiiiiiit, I thought I was the only one.
Man I'm 30 and this movie genuinely hit close to home few times
I’m much older than Miles, but I loved the interaction with parents for both Miles & Gwen.
Some unexpected heart & soul in this movie.
Scarlet spider was my favorite. I could watch a whole movie of that character. "You're trapped in my well defined musculature"
They totally ruined that character
For the movie, I can’t deny he was pretty funny. As a fan of the character, I was so sad how they turned him into comic relief with 5 minutes of screentime, if that
Which clone is it? Kane or Ben?
@@TheMetalAllfather ben
They did my boy so dirty. I wish he had LESS screentime because of this lol
I just wish it had at least a half-standalone ending. the way it ended makes it feel like someone stopped the movie midway through and told you that you can watch the rest in a few months/years, but only if you pay full price again.
For me it was like a comic book ending..... I am fully hyped for the next part
That was the original plan, this movie was supposed to be released and part two a year later, like Dune.
Yeah it’s really really jarring. The main central plot in this movie is that Miles has to escape to save his dad. That’s it. It really feels like this movie was 70% set up. I think the movie could have benefited from a longer cut. Maybe just one scene where Miles breaks free and swings off into the city of the new world. And maybe add in a fight scene between 2099’s group and Gwen’s group. Have them come to blows before the Spot shows up and then he just knocks them all away. End credits
Movie literally ends at the beginning of the 3rd act. Shouldve been marketed as a part one so people wouldnt feel so blueballed imo.
@@Bigbodybigbeefybody It's not the movie's fault.
People have Google.
What's good about the cliffhanger is that we are not sure how it will all play out. It is an entire mystery, with plot points for fans to discuss. It makes me feel like the beginning of the Infinity Saga again. That's how you make a great franchise. You keep people on the edge of their seats, instead of spoon feeding every details and mystery of the movie.
Nah, his dad is dead for sure
Just saw it last night - 11/10 art direction. 8/10 characters and plot. Best new movie in a while.

I really liked the focus on Gwen and it’s willingness to slow down. It’s common in books to have different main characters for each book in a series, such as in the stormlight archive. It’s more than welcome for me
Another Stormlight fan spotted in the wild 👁️👁️🤝
Yep! Just watched this in theatre with my family last night. It was such a surprising blast. So fun and the animation was gorgeous. Despite some of its minor flaws THIS is how super hero movies should be done.
I'm really not a Spiderman fan, my kids wanted to see it...by far the best movie I've seen this year. Loved it, the animation was mind blowing, the characters were great, the multiverse stuff wasn't OTT...absolute work of art was my thought leaving the cinema. Really pleasing to see something original for a change...even though it's part of a franchise.
The real question though as Drinker would say did it make you feel good about being a white man - if not - bad film lolol
Have you watched the first one? If not, you need to!
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 I love being White.
Yet another racial propaganda film. It's race fetishization marketed for young-uns.
the part about Peter B. Parker is kinda wild to me because it's like on the one hand you understand that they have to downplay him a bit to give Miles the spotlight but then you have to turn it around and make it an anti straight white male thing
if anything I think it's fan service. a lot of people were endeared to his portrayal in the first movie. and this is him+being a cute dad archetype who mentors Miles. this gives him some purpose in being there while putting him aside so he isn't able to overshadow the other Spidermen too much
besides Disney already did a Spiderverse movie with their three Peter Parkers. this being a Spiderman movie without starring Peter Parker is what makes it stand out

@@sebathadah1559 wdym by that? I came into the movie expecting a not-so-great sequel (as it usually goes) and I ended up quite happy and surprised.
Except at times like this
@@GigglingStoners didn’t ask, don’t care
4:46 See, here's my contention, I think the issue is seeing her as a supporting character. Given how the entire intro was about her and developing her, i think it's safe to put her as main character in her own right. This would basically put her as the protagonist and miles the dueteragonist. And i think this can be supported with the rest of the film as we never really leave her perspective but for the time we spend with miles, until they meet again, at which point they're either together or time is split between the two.
For an analogy i can pull from, it's the original pirates of the Caribbean where we're introduced into the 2 protagonists of the story, William and I think Emily. They're roughly the first 10 to 15 minutes of the movie up until the introduction of captain Jack sparrow. Jack sparrow is basically the third protagonist in the film, but he's used as more as a major supporting character as he is only ever shown at the side of the two protagonists having moved from one to the other. This translates to our perspective actually being on Emily and William at any given time which puts them as the protagonists and not Jack.
To tie this in, we see Gwen and Miles used in exactly the same fashion. We don't really break from either of their perspectives and they're the only ones given that level of time and development. This implies it's their story together, not just miles, much like how Pirates of the Caribbean was William's and Emily's together, not just William's or Jack's.
he prefers to view her as a supporting character, but totally not because she's a girl aha! feminism bad btw (sarcasm)
Exactly
Don’t know why I find the sequel just as good if not slightly better than the first. Don’t get me wrong, the first was iconic but this one feels like the production team had more creativity and fun making it. God I wish I can watch it for the first time again
Yeah I disagree with drinker a lot I thought this movie was better than the first and the first was a masterpiece
@@jevz7512 Agreed
first was overrated
This movie was a master piece
I think it WILL be better than the first when we actually get a full movie. Apparently it doesn't really bother anyone here but me and friends left the cinema super confused after it just ended in such an awkward spot when the action should start going back up again. Don't get me wrong I really liked what I watched the animation really used everything the medium has to offer and it was mesmerizing but it threw me off so unexpectedly when it ended. I feel like I'm kinda robbed of the experience of seeing the whole movie at once cuz I can't call that a stand alone movie it's just a half of something incredible
I loved the first movie. When I heard the second one was coming out I managed to avoid ALL spoilers and trailers and anything that might ruin even a moment for me....
.... Just saw it last night with my sons and it blew our minds! Such a fun and original movie!
None of us liked Jessica Drew.
Yeah Jessica drew was kinda weird, like she's not important or anything but it focuses on her sometimes
I didn't think it was that stretched out, there were some moments sure, but overall it was pretty damn good. Gwen definitely feels like a second main character rather than a side character, we do spend the first 5ish minutes of the movie with her. I'm mostly just glad that they didn't burden the movie with too much comic-relief, the Indian and English spidermen (I don't remember their names) are classic comic relief and I was worried that they would kill any serious vibe the movie tried to establish (like every marvel movie does) but as soon as things start to get serious, they just leave. The writers are smart enough not to undercut the emotion. Even Peter leaves well enough alone during the more serious parts. And I like that the twist at the end was slightly predictable, it made me feel smart, especially because it wasn't blindingly obvious, if I weren't paying attention, I would not have seen it coming.
This could be the first year ever where an animated superhero movie can outgross all of its live action competitors , bigger opening day than guardians 3 , highly impressive
That little mini-tantrum about Peter B Parker in this video is just you throwing your audience a bone. I get it. You need something to be outraged about. It’s the only way this grift can continue.
Well said
It's so dumb. He's being held hostage by his fans.😂
Thats what I noticed too 💀so obvious because it was rushed and in the last second of the review too
Take the meat out of your man
This film is insanely clever even in the small moments, like how spider punk steals the chip from the wall and that’s what ends up being added to the multiverse watch he delivers to Gwen.
As well as when he says he doesn’t believe in consistency and that’s why his art style changes throughout the movie.
And I always sat there thinking the film was was about to end and they added layer upon layer or one extra twist.
I think they’ve given themselves an almighty task to write themselves a satisfying conclusion especially as they’ve written themselves 3 antagonists to miles in (SPOILER) Spot, Miguel and Prowler Myles…
But from how much this film exceeded my expectations I do trust them to deliver
Miles had better character development in this movie than Tom's Spider-Man did since his introduction. That just goes to show how much MCU is holding him back. He could have been something special.
i agree and also disagree with that sentiment. It feels like Miles had "better" character development because they managed to do it within two movies rather than a string of movies spanning 7 years. I actually believe that no way home concluded his origin story as well as it could for the type of story it is. He finally became a Peter we were familiar with (broke college student on his own). It was a gradual process from him going from a kid who had his hand held by Tony Stark and his tech (which ironically was what people disliked) to someone who creates his own tech/suit and grows into his natural abilities rather than relying on backup or assistance from Tony or his tech. So on that note, I still think MCU Peter can still be special if not already special. It just took longer than we would have liked. P.S. I love the spiderverse movies more
Oh really? Morales is a garbage character with no personality, powers, or villains gallery of his own. He's a brown knockoff of the original, minus the personality. Screw you, Critical Drinker. Screw you. I know the comics.
I'll just say...not surprised that a Japanese owned animation studio cares more about story, art, and characters than a modern US ESG corporation.
@@anthonygomez3915 Yes, I don't see the problem with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, I never had an issue with him depending on Tony Stark, for a connected universe the Tony Stark connection was a change I didn't mind, and Tom's arc is mostly satisfying. I just hope his next movie is good, though. No Way Home was enjoyable because of them bringing old actors together but otherwise none of the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies have been anything special in my book, and doing a good job on the next one where Tom will be alone instead of having other existing characters to play off of might not be something they're able to pull off.
@@blackjackjester Haha, for sure, for sure..
I agree with a lot in this video, but I have to disagree about Peter b Parker. (The grown original one) almost every iteration of Peter is always shown to be down in the dumps and the writers always take away anything good he has going for him. (satan literally poofs away his kids) the way he’s shown in this movie kinda seems like a middle finger to the idea that Peter can’t be happy and always has to be miserable to be “spider man”.
This movie was simply fantastic from top to bottom, never did I think the Into the Spider-Verse could be topped in terms of story, animation, and overall hype. Yet here I am buying my second IMAX ticket to see this film again! I reviewed the film on my channel with my colleagues, and I feel the same exact way going in for my third watch as I did for my initial one in terms of enjoyment. THE BAR FOR ANIMATED FILMS HAS BEEN RAISED AGAIN!!
I'm thinking Spiderverse is doing for superheroes and animation what Lord of the Rings did for live action and Fantasy. Obviously changes have to be made because of the different mediums, but you can tell research and love of the source material went into it.
Thanks to this movie, I'm looking into getting more Spiderman comics.
@@RoseBagginsthat's a good comparison
And just like LOTR it will be remembered for decades to come
Maybe they're not paying attention to Peter Parker because the damn protagonist is Miles? Perhaps?
I actually liked this one quite a bit more than the first one. I mean, I did enjoy Into the Spider-Verse but I wasn't as in love with it as so many other people were. But this one just felt so much more compelling to me. Also, I noticed the SAME THING as you did about how the animated seemed like motion-capture. It was great.
Conservatives are the only people in the world who would say that Into the Spiderverse is a better film....it's a fact
@@peterparker9954 That's not true, there is valid criticism of this one. For one, the part where they meet Miguel is exposition central. It just never stops, and everything happens way too fast.
This film feels more like a setup for the third one than its own thing.
@@peterparker9954 I have never seen a single thing of what you've said lmao
@@peterparker9954 I have no idea what you mean by that. What's your source for this claim of supposed fact?
@@Hypogean7 it is a setup and its own thing..... What is wrong with a little exposition ??? The exposition didn't go for a long time
Marvel Studios: *"We're doing the multiverse"*
Sony: *"No you're Not!"*
WB: "We got a Multiverse, too! And we'll bring in time travel, as well!"
FOX: "Been there, done that."
Funnily enough i actually think they did Peter B Parker really well. A lot of people tend to forget that between all the tragedy and heavy drama that makes it into all the films, in the comics Spider-man did a ton of goofy shit.
We're talking about a superhero who during the winter in NYC swung around wearing ear muffs mittens and a scarf, all designed to match his costume.
He was still portrayed as a capable hero and he was the main hero of the story in his own comics. It's not the same thing at all. Wearing ear muffs and mittens and a scarf as part of a design choice to a comic presented as a sort of a whimsical in-comic joke, is not the same as what they're doing with his character in this movie which is to purposefully deemphasize his role as THE Spiderman and this is done on purpose with a clear creative end-goal by Sony and Marvel. It's not difficult to understand why.
@veredwol2936 of course they de emphasized his role, he's the mentor character, and the story isn't about him right now. It's about Gwen, Miles and Miguel. Based on the ending he'll certainly be more prominent in the next film.
5:19 that is an absolutely WILD take. Peter Is the BEST spider-man in the movie. It’s weird how you’re trying to bring Identity politics into it. Just because he’s not some super buff strong man punching everything he sees in sight does not make him a less capable “loser”. Hes the only spider-man that listened to miles, and also miguel is this big bad tough guy who literally every spider-man drops what they’re doing to do what he says and peter has his daughter RUNNING AROUND THE PLACE like he owns it. That’s an alpha move. He does what he wants and his daughter does too because he’s the most level headed and experienced spider-man, he was put to the side because it wasn’t his movie and he had plenty of screen time in the first one.

as an artist i still can not stop thinking ab how the animation looks amazing in every angle 👏
Tbh i didn't really see Peter b Parker as the bumbling old guy in this movie. He felt like another father figure to miles, especially with the little talk they had. I really don't have a reason as to why he'd bring the baby but the scenes with her were cute.
I loved how spot goes to funny joke villian to all powerful eldritch abomination
I saw this movie last saturday and I f*cking loved it. I enjoyed the spot as a villain, he started off goofy asf, and it actually got a laugh out of me. Who would have expected that the guy who got clonked with the bagel miles chucked would have turned into a supervillain. Excited to see what BTSV brings, and seeing Miles as the prowler caught me off guard, but I'm excited for that also

I think I have to disagree with your opinion about how they handled Peter. There's nothing more masculine than being a dad, and he's a good one at that. The pink bathrobe to me is just a silly symbol that constantly reminds us that he's a dad and has a family to take care of. He's definitely flawed, but that's exactly how I want him to be. I don't want him to be portrayed as a Mary Sue who's good at everything and never does anything wrong. I like that he has to redeem himself.
yeah I agree but I do wish some peters could be more apart of the plot ,that’s really my only complaint most of the spider men/women they introduced have stuck the landing for me peter b as well.But having more peters in this story would be nice too.
Argh! The spot, a single individual, can cause more damage to the multiverse than kang, or even and army of kangs.
I felt a more doom and word ending vibe from spot after he got more powerful than I did with kang in both Loki and quantumania.
Spot is less respected in coming than Stilt-Man yet here we are.
True… I think it was very smart to manage the expectations of his character by underestimating him and making a fool of him to his later development, the contrasts helped a lot to make him look menacing… I hope they don’t make too much a goofy character en the third one and keep it menacing.
When he first popped on screen on thought oh shit the spot, leaned over to my daughter, 14 years , that's the SPOT! He is baddd news and super strong! His powers are awesome! Then he was a joke and she rolled her eyes at me, I was shocked. Villain of the week I thought? THE SPOT? lol No way. When he started to get stronger she looked back at me with wide eyes, I said I know! His powers are insane.
honestly I’m surprised it took this long spots powers were always terrifying.
Miles almost destroyed Spidey India's world by saving the officer though...
This move was a literal masterpiece. Every frame was a painting, and I’m not exaggerating. Gwen’s world in particular was a visual feast.

@@SeraphsWitness looks good yes, the story was not well done. Most people will be too busy magpie-ing about the animation though and conflate that with good story telling.
@@ragnarok7976 the story was quite good. Not perfect like the animation, but good.
Story was just overinflated. But overall better than most of what's out there.
The movie was pretty good. It was the second movie I've paid to see in the last 3+ years (the other being Top Gun). The stuff with the pregnant woman wasn't that bad, she barely participated in one action piece and did some recon in another. I think most people are just wary of anything that could even potentially be considered woke (myself included) since its become synonymous with bad storytelling/characterization at this point. This movie gives me hope that maybe western film isn't all complete garbage yet.
I could tell she was pregnant in the first scene but I didn’t notice a bump in any of the later scenes. I thought she maybe had the baby already or I just wasn’t looking hard enough.
Did you miss the poster that said "protect trans kids" or the BLM button on Miles' backpack or the poster in his room that said "Long live Breonna"
Yes, the film did have some unfortunate woke elements but it wasn't intrusive enough to impact the film as a whole.
Maybe that was the point, becauase she is pregnant she didn't participate so actively, buut still, they had a lot better options to choose
@@uncuckableAlpha Lol, I didn't even see any of that, was too busy enjoying the story and animation art-styles. Damn, do people just specifically focus on woke content just to get triggered or something? Christ.
Peter Parker isn't belittled, he's one big heart. He's been broken and has come back, warmer, wiser and no longer doing snap judgements. You're selling him short, I think because you've been so annoyed at the whole emasculation in Hollywood, and thus seeing this trend even when it's not present.
It really is a fantastic day when The Critical Drinker uploads, Dreamworks and Sony are honestly killing it with so many awesome movies recently!
Everything is some sort of personal attack to you
🤣🤣Sounds like some massive projecting going on here.Does brainrot stop you from articulating a proper argument or are you just a butthurt baby🤡🤡
I think part of why they had Peter's baby be on screen so much was to show that he had gotten his life together and was happy, also the kid is a version of May "mayday" Parker A.K.A. Spider Girl (Marvel's first Spider Girl) who went from being the main character of a single throw away issue of the anthology series What If? to having her own title that not only lasted a record setting length of time but helped spawn a bunch of other much less popular titles set in the same universe.
in short the baby herself is a version of a pretty popular character and represents Peter x MJ, a pairing/romance that many fans Spider-man really like.
Good review, but going on an identity politics tamgent around 5:40 was kinda stupid. Peter isn’t portrayed like that because he’s a straight white male, but because marvel has just always done Peter really dirty, just look at “one more day” or the current amazing Spider-Man run
