Man, Spot is someone that Kang should have been. Feels more like a multidimesionial threat too. Absolute chills. You do really feel for him. Society won't accept him, so only thing left for him is to take revenge on Spiderman, who took everything from him.
It's even more than that. There's that element of Hammurabian revenge, but there's also an underlying frustration with not being taken seriously. Like, "you made me this way, but you won't even ACKNOWLEDGE that I'm WORTH dealing with? You won't even RESPECT that my anger is JUSTIFIED? Well, I guess I'll have to make sure you understand what a threat I am, then, by proving it."
Those final minutes with Miles winding up on the wrong universe, The reveal of alternate universe Miles being the Prowler had me shocked, can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse
The Donald Glover cameo goes even deeper because it was his wearing the Spiderman pj's in Community that was an inspiration for Bendis to create Miles for the comics.
I think the twist that'll come in the next movie is that canon can be changed, as we've seen with Captain Stacy in Gwen's universe quitting his job as police captain. It's just that the decision to change canon has to come from someone who lives in that dimension, which means no direct outside intervention like with Miguel or Miles. I think we've even seen snippets of this even in the first movie to this one. Peter B Parker having a baby because of Miles' influence, or Spider-Man Noir introducing the concept of color to his own universe, etc.
This might genuinely be my favourite film of all time. I’m still processing it. It’s emotional, full of heart, humour, phenomenal dialogue and humour, and animation that’s too amazing to be put into words. It’s perfection.
@@SantaCometa Fair enough. It just hit all the right notes, and the first one was already a Top 2 favourite film of all time for me, and this exceeding it was just… shocking. This was everything to me. As a lifeline Spider-Man fan… this was perfect.
@@HarCoolReviews it really was a fantastic experience , i prefer gotg 3 still but cmon u cant even compare thwyre 2 diff movies , might move up in my top 10 oat on rewatch
@@SantaCometa Both aren’t really comparable, but I also LOVED GOTG 3 so very much, but this takes the cake for the best CBM of the year, and the best film of the year. I just know nothing’s gonna come close. This movie is too remarkable to put into words IMO
The thing is, With 2099, That’s just who he is. He’s the most un spiderman of the spider people. From not actually being bitten by a spider to living his life completely alone away from everyone else, no Miguel, only Spider Man to him. That’s always what drew me to his story in the comics. The fact that he’s Spiderman, but he isn’t your typical Friendly-Neighbourhood Spiderman. Overall, I loved this movie. As you can tell by my need to defend him, 2099 was my favourite character. Reading him in the comics and then watching the scene of him risking everything to live a life where he has a family, because he literally has an Ai and that’s it, then it all tumbling down, is very comic accurate for him. I do hope Miguel isn’t evil by the end though, now that would be wrong. Miles and Gwen’s individual and together stories are great and seeing some of the cameos/references, where really cool. It essentially delivered in every way I thought it would, but I do agree that it’s hard to say how I feel because of how it feels incomplete.
24:32 what i love about this is that the Spiderman from miles universe that died in the 1st movie was also met with this decision and he saved miles b4 trying to destroy the machine and dies trying to do both. It shows that theres both rewards and consequences to the "both" option as Peter B mentions in this film
Just came out of watching it… Lord. Up. Above. Absolutely loved it and thoroughly enjoyed every second of this movie. They went bigger than Spider Verse 1 and it’s probably better than 1. Can’t wait to see it again, awesome movie, and it’s not my new number one movie of the year 👍 (sorry Suzume lol)
I watched this movie with a friend, and the whole movie we were quietly whispering to each other and trying to guess what would happen next. She caught onto some stuff faster than me, but I’m proud to say that I called that he was going to the wrong dimension >:3
Something else I appreciated is that J.K. Simmons played the voice of J. Jonah Jameson in every universe. I love that he is the only consistency across every Earth.
I know I’m alone in this, but my personal favorite cameo was Sun-Spider/Charlotte Webber (the disabled Spider-Person who says “do you think superheroes too often use comedy as a crutch? Get it?”). She’s a recent character with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome created by comic book writer Tee Franklin, and she wa splayed by a disabled comedian, Danielle Perez. EDS is a condition that my SO has, and seeing a disabled superhero (with her condition) played by an actually disabled actor meant the world to me. I actually squealed when Sun-Spider came on screen more than any other moment, but I know there aren’t many others who would agree.
42 was Jackie Robinson’s number. So 42 is a reference to him and it’s constantly seen throughout the first film and this one. I think it’s a pretty rad reference.
I wish they didn’t put Spectacular Spider-Man on the posters, by revealing that I thought they’d give him a bigger part and then I’m just disappointed by his one line. If he wasn’t on the posters then I think his appearance would be way more shocking and satisfying, but I thought they were teasing more for him. That said this movie handles references/cameos well without slowing the movie down to force them in (Multiverse of Madness)
Never saw the first film(Into the Spiderverse) but after seeing Across the Spiderverse it’s one of my top favorite films of 2023!!! Really loved the dynamic between Miles and Gwen’s “blossoming” relationship and you feel for both of them. Can’t wait for the third film and hope and pray that they do in fact fall in love because how can you not love the chemistry between them
I love how canon events and absolute points from the what if show are the same thing. It all feels connected as part of one multiverse with the mcu stuff and I love that
I think they did mention the reason he was so strict, he literally tried to disrupt a canon and then a whole universe was lost, (Miles' mentor Peter's universe), not to mention he was holding his daughter when she vanished. That kind of stuff breaks you, and the trauma could be the reason he was so incredibly hard on Miles.
They went over 2099's deal in the movie. I don't remember exactly what it was. Something about him losing his family, then trying to undo it only for the universe to fall apart resulting in losing them all over again.
The music in this movie was amazing. Metro Boomin is an amazing producer JID, NAV, OFFSET, SWAE LEE, A BOOGIE WIT DA HOODIE, COI LERAY, DON TOLIVER, LIL UZI VERT, EI8HT, A$AP ROCKY, 21 Savage, 2 CHAINZ, NAS, ROISEE. All did a fantastic job.With my favourite song Hummingbird featuring James Blake who did a fantastic job and did an amazing singing performence that encapsulated with the movie itslef.
I think the first one was definitely better. Don’t get me wrong, this was a solid sequel, I just think it went a little off the rails in some places. I liked that the first one was a bit more grounded.
You pretty much summed up why 2099 has become my favorite spiderman Not everyone has to be goofy to be good, not every spiderman has to be as lighthearted as most are, there has to be a cold blooded head around, and with the trauma that his life is (even in comics iirc) there’s absolutely a justification as to why he’s so relentless on his beliefs
So I think the Donald Glover connection goes way back to even before the debut of Miles in the comics. There was #Donaldforspiderman as far back as 2010 and we wore Spidey pajamas in Community. The cameo in Homecoming was a callback to that.
Saw it today, The only reason i expected the twist at the end is because at the beggining of the movie it says Miles is in Earth 1610 and the machine says he is going to Earth 42. Also when Gwen is outside the room it's raining outside while Miles is inside where it's dark out but not raining.
Im sure someone else has commented this, but the 42 symbol is a reference to Jackie Robinson, the first black MLB player! the original comics wanted to honour him in a way with the miles morales character :)
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Across the Spiderverse are two of the best super hero films I've seen in a long, long time. There's a lot of talk of Superhero movie fatigue, but these two movies show that if the movie is done well and the makers genuinely care to make a great film, people will show up. It's so great to see that even midst of the noise and subpar films being cranked out, there are some genuinely good and well crafted films.
The reason why the volume was quite in your theater was because your theater was playing the movie at the wrong volume they played it at max volume when they were supposed to play it at 7
This movie is probably one of the best marvel movies of all time in my opinion. I loved the cameos especially by spectacular spiderman. That’s one of my favorite tv shows and favorite spiderman portrayals
At the part where Miles got sent to earth 42 the theater went wild. Everyone (including me and my friends) were yelling and screaming because nobody saw the twist coming.
what’s also insane is that in the first film, the spider that bit miles was glitching too. they told us this in the first film without us realising !!!
I have a feeling that 2099 Spiderman will be the part villain because He's the Actual original anomaly. 2099 said he's the 1st of the multiversal team, yet Miles is Long before him and his tragedy, allowing more canon Spiderman multiverse's to happen and continue up untíl 2099.
I don't know about that, maybe Miguel being the original anomaly is true, but I doubt he will be a villain, at best he seems to be antagonistic. In my opinion he much just feels like a very multidimensional character
@@JayL3wis yeah, maybe villain was too strong a word.. But I think he'll have his story unraveled in that aspect though. That revelation will blow the whole Spidey-Versal cops corp out of the water and there'll be an awesome scene of dozens of Spideys working together. Honestly, March is Too far away.
miguel's reasoning was that he once tried to mess with canon events and it went badly. Basically he found an earth where he had a family, but he died, and decided to replace the version of himself in that reality, and that wound up destroying that earth.
I think that somehow Miguel knew the Peter from Miles world personally, and that is why his death affects him so much and he blames Miles for that which boils his anger even more
All the Easter eggs & cameos were great, but the Andrew Garfield clip shocked me. I don’t know Tobey, Andrew, and Tom are going to be in the next one, but if they are, we know that they’re not going to be animated.
I’m not sure if anyone else saw this, but did the go home machine not display Earth-42 as soon as it scanned him? I immediately understood where it was going, but the people I watched it with didn’t see that, am I crazy?
I don’t think some people understand how cliffhangers work… The clues in the name, CLIFFHANGER! It’s meant to leave you on the edge of your seats wondering what’s going to happen next… It’s not about concluding a story. As great as the film is, especially visually, I still think it is being overhyped… People hailing it as the best animated film of all time, best Spider-Man film of all time, best superhero film of all time, that it’s up there with The Dark Knight blah blah! Don’t get me wrong, it is really really good. But I don’t think it’s a masterpiece? Maybe on a visual note it is, but not as a whole.
A cliffhanger is supposed to leave you on the edge of your seat, but a movie is also supposed to have its own complete story. A movie can feel like a chapter is completed and leave you on the edge of your seat. This movie feels like we're about to go into the 3rd act and then it just ends. That's valid for people to find that odd.
I get what you’re saying but I’m still really not understanding people’s criticism of the cliffhanger ending though… It grips the audience and teases them with what’s to come. That’s what a cliffhanger does and I appreciated it!
When we discovered Miles was in the wrong universe at the end, I knew he was in the wrong universe because his mom mentioned Comic Con. If you remember from the first movie, his universe doesn't have Comic Con, then he glitched, which made me know for sure.
I found it so funny when Ganke was playing Spider-Man 2 for the PS5 and then they said the Insomniac Spider-Man is his own universe. It's kinda weird to think about how to Mile's universe, its just a game, but to the Insomniac world, that just IS their world
responding to ur thought as how there is still going to be 2 hours of this story instead of js a 30 min showdown to save miles’s dad, i think that the story will have more to it, there will be more twists and turns there will be more reveals there will be a bigger pic i think it will get even more epic next movie it will be beyond the spider verse
This was a pulp fiction and the matrix type of movie for me. It's unbelievable and hard to describe the many layers of awesomeness. The only flaw was not developing the understanding of Gwen's journey into becoming a great leader and developing the teams that save the multiverse. That would have made the ending more satisfying. Even with that, this is the best total movie I have seen in years and years.
Looks visually insane. I really liked the multiverse aspect and all the other spider men. Those parts I enjoyed and were funny. I really enjoyed the villain spot and the visuals that came with him. I just really disliked how much time the movie spent on the emotions and the family problems. I don’t have a problem with them focusing on it but Like a solid hour and a half was about miles parents being disappointed instead of more awesome fighting and action building up spot more for the next movie.
I think the movie having a long first act is essentially due to this movie being half a movie to be honest. The movie ends where the midpoint of a story would end up. There’s just a turning point plot twist and then bam! Movie is done but not really
Honestly loved the movie so much! I went into it expecting animation that was on par with the first one, but then they completely knocked my expectations out of the water and took it up a level. The story was also incredible. My only very minor nitpick is that at the end when Gwen's Spider team is created, Avatar Spider-Girl just felt like a weird unnecessary choice, like, she let Miles go and all, but other than that, there didn't seem much reason for her to join, but we'll have to see how I feel about her inclusion once Beyond the Spiderverse comes out
As a lifelong Spidey fan and someone who ADORES the first movie, I hate to say it, but I’m not feeling this one. There’s nothing especially egregious, but I do think the Twitter user from your first video on the movie’s hype was right. The movie can’t really stand on its own for me, and while I know it was always intended to be a part one of two, I still hoped for an ending that felt satisfactory on its own. Obviously the films are different, but Infinity War succeeds as a self-contained story without Endgame, but I feel this one ending on such a huge cliffhanger with a literal “to be continued” stuck at the end makes it feel like a first issue of a two issue comic arc. I also feel that Spot’s arc is a little too similar to Electro’s in TASM2, just elevated to a multiversal level. On some positive notes. I think Gwen’s story is excellent, this made me wish she had her own movie. Miles’s relationship with his mother really shines, and it’s special. The visuals are, of course, incredible and the unique feel of every world is a testament to the team that worked on it. The cameos are solid, and don’t feel too heavy-handed, just a fun bit of nice fan-service. Hobie Brown is also a really fun addition to the team, even if I had trouble with his dialogue on occasion. The themes of the film are also really fascinating, with the central question being whether Miles can resist destiny, and what his supposed status as an “accidental” Spider-Man means. Having Gwen’s dad quit the police force thus undermining the “police captain must die” narrative also ties in well to Miles early statement “we’re the same, in all the ways that matter.” There’s just some nice narrative symmetry both within the movie itself and with reference to the first movie. All in all, I don’t think this is a bad movie by any means, but if I’m entirely honest, I feel much the same way I did after Far From Home. It just didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
@@TherealMosesreed on a RUclips channel where the creator encouraged opinions and wants to talk about movies and shows with their community? Seems a little bit like an unnecessary comment on your part but do your thing.
i disagree with your final point on it being an incompletely story. not only does gwen undergo a full arc (which is clearly the point of the story of this movie, she has the first and last scene. she's not the main character, but it's a story about her), the delivery of the message of her arc is only less powerful than the message in into because the message in into is just so incredibly well delivered. sure, they don't beat the bad guy, they don't even beat miguel, but they don't do that in infinity war either. Every aspect of a story is here. There's a rising action, a climax, even a falling action. to be fair there's no segment that i'd call a "conlcusion" but i'd hardly say that's the most important part of a story, and even then many things are concluded (gwens arc being the primary example of this). there are 3 acts, each pretty clearly defined. There's setup, there's payoff. Everything that makes up a story is here, there's just more to come. sure, the cliffhanger is unsatisfying, but this is DEFINITELY a complete story. and i have more to say, im just trying to be concise because this is a youtube comment lmao. The only reason the extent of the debunking of the "half a movie" critisism is only ever "but gwen has an arc" is because most people who make that arguement haven't thought that far.
Although it doesnt excuse how this movie ended in a really odd place i think u could argue that miles is the main character of both movies combined but the star of this movie alone is gwen as it tells her complete story and i think the star of the next film alone is Miguel as it will tell his story
I have a theory: we will have a non Spider-Man character in BTSV. Matt Murdock mad a cameo in ITSV, Dr. Strange was namedropped in ATSV. You can’t go beyond the SPIDER-Verse with SPIDER-Man.
As a European I didn't notice the sound, neither with Tenet back in 2020. I think it's just that we have subtitles I automatically go to if I didn't hear something so Idon't notice.
Something else to note about Donald Glover’s appearance is how important he is to the character Miles Morales. He was openly hoping to be cast as Spider-man for “Amazing Spiderman” before it went to Andrew Garfield, and racist backlash like “Spiderman can’t be black” led Bendis to create Miles!
Excited for the video! Clicked as fast as I could not only cuz I’m excited but because I wanted to ask you a question before the comments section fills up - Do you plan on doing letterboxd eventually?
I'm not sure what you mean. I have posted on Letterboxd multiple times in the last 2 weeks. I started an account years ago. I don't use it much because I don't really like it.
I don't know if you saw this, but when Miles is scanned into the Go Home machine, it reads Earth 42. Since we already got multiple teases, I immediately knew what was going on. But I totally agree. I LOVED the twist at the end where he wasn't in the right universe.
I think The Spot is a perfect villain, I never heard of him before this movie but he is definitely one of my favorite villains, movie was just good to me. Too much plots and talking, not enough action
Okay hear me out what if miles event that has to happen is Gwen dying, ORRR what if they just go back in time with a collider and make sure miles doesn’t get bit.
I’ve been wondering this for a wile now Spider-Man 2099 said miles wasn’t supposed to be Spider-Man who was tho like who was going to be Spider-Man if miles wasn’t supposed to
Man, Spot is someone that Kang should have been. Feels more like a multidimesionial threat too. Absolute chills. You do really feel for him. Society won't accept him, so only thing left for him is to take revenge on Spiderman, who took everything from him.
It's even more than that. There's that element of Hammurabian revenge, but there's also an underlying frustration with not being taken seriously.

what’s also insane is that in the first film, the spider that bit miles was glitching too. they told us this in the first film without us realising !!!
I have a feeling that 2099 Spiderman will be the part villain because He's the Actual original anomaly.
2099 said he's the 1st of the multiversal team, yet Miles is Long before him and his tragedy, allowing more canon Spiderman multiverse's to happen and continue up untíl 2099.
I don't know about that, maybe Miguel being the original anomaly is true, but I doubt he will be a villain, at best he seems to be antagonistic. In my opinion he much just feels like a very multidimensional character
@@JayL3wis yeah, maybe villain was too strong a word.. But I think he'll have his story unraveled in that aspect though. That revelation will blow the whole Spidey-Versal cops corp out of the water and there'll be an awesome scene of dozens of Spideys working together.
Honestly, March is Too far away.
@Gang Groovy Agreed. I guess it's a plus we don't have to wait a full year or two for the sequel
Not my favorite comic movie, but a really good one. It seriously brings animation to a totally new level.
if they land gwen’s arc correctly in this, she’ll establish herself as the best gwen/mj/love interest figure in spider-man’s cinematic run.
miguel's reasoning was that he once tried to mess with canon events and it went badly. Basically he found an earth where he had a family, but he died, and decided to replace the version of himself in that reality, and that wound up destroying that earth.
I think that somehow Miguel knew the Peter from Miles world personally, and that is why his death affects him so much and he blames Miles for that which boils his anger even more
All the Easter eggs & cameos were great, but the Andrew Garfield clip shocked me. I don’t know Tobey, Andrew, and Tom are going to be in the next one, but if they are, we know that they’re not going to be animated.
This movie is what we all thought Doctor Strange MoM would be..
I’m not sure if anyone else saw this, but did the go home machine not display Earth-42 as soon as it scanned him? I immediately understood where it was going, but the people I watched it with didn’t see that, am I crazy?
I saw it too but it still hit me
Wait, so…Gwen’s dad choosing not to be Captain anymore ended up preventing a canon event? 0.0 …I completely missed that!
I don’t think some people understand how cliffhangers work…
The clues in the name, CLIFFHANGER!
It’s meant to leave you on the edge of your seats wondering what’s going to happen next…
It’s not about concluding a story.
As great as the film is, especially visually, I still think it is being overhyped…
People hailing it as the best animated film of all time, best Spider-Man film of all time, best superhero film of all time, that it’s up there with The Dark Knight blah blah!
Don’t get me wrong, it is really really good.
But I don’t think it’s a masterpiece?
Maybe on a visual note it is, but not as a whole.
A cliffhanger is supposed to leave you on the edge of your seat, but a movie is also supposed to have its own complete story. A movie can feel like a chapter is completed and leave you on the edge of your seat.
This movie feels like we're about to go into the 3rd act and then it just ends.
That's valid for people to find that odd.
I get what you’re saying but I’m still really not understanding people’s criticism of the cliffhanger ending though…
It grips the audience and teases them with what’s to come.
That’s what a cliffhanger does and I appreciated it!
9:33 spider man quantumania 😂
I thought I was the only one with the audio issue at the beginning 😂 luckily now I know I’m not the only one
When we discovered Miles was in the wrong universe at the end, I knew he was in the wrong universe because his mom mentioned Comic Con. If you remember from the first movie, his universe doesn't have Comic Con, then he glitched, which made me know for sure.
I think Miguel is an Alternate Miles. He looks more like the Evil Miles from the comics than Miguel
Black Panther 2, Guardians 3, and Across the Spiderverse have proven superhero fatigue isn’t real. Bad superhero movie fatigue is real.
I found it so funny when Ganke was playing Spider-Man 2 for the PS5 and then they said the Insomniac Spider-Man is his own universe. It's kinda weird to think about how to Mile's universe, its just a game, but to the Insomniac world, that just IS their world
Oh yeah about Spot I thought the part of when he kicked his own butt was actually pretty funny.
Lucky for myself and everyone in my theater, the volume was fine
The bagel effect
Easily top 5 comic book movies for me! Cliffhanger does not take that title away from it for me at all. Going to go see it again with my nephew!
Without Donald Glover we wouldn't have Miles Morales at all
He also voiced miles in ultimate spiderman cartoon
9:33 spider man quantumania
Gwen got a full story arc.
responding to ur thought as how there is still going to be 2 hours of this story instead of js a 30 min showdown to save miles’s dad, i think that the story will have more to it, there will be more twists and turns there will be more reveals there will be a bigger pic i think it will get even more epic next movie it will be beyond the spider verse
This was a pulp fiction and the matrix type of movie for me. It's unbelievable and hard to describe the many layers of awesomeness. The only flaw was not developing the understanding of Gwen's journey into becoming a great leader and developing the teams that save the multiverse. That would have made the ending more satisfying. Even with that, this is the best total movie I have seen in years and years.
Looks visually insane. I really liked the multiverse aspect and all the other spider men. Those parts I enjoyed and were funny. I really enjoyed the villain spot and the visuals that came with him. I just really disliked how much time the movie spent on the emotions and the family problems. I don’t have a problem with them focusing on it but Like a solid hour and a half was about miles parents being disappointed instead of more awesome fighting and action building up spot more for the next movie.
Ik everyones predicting who will die in beyond, i think the coolest would be miles sacrificing himself to save everyone he loves
I think the movie having a long first act is essentially due to this movie being half a movie to be honest. The movie ends where the midpoint of a story would end up. There’s just a turning point plot twist and then bam! Movie is done but not really
Honestly loved the movie so much! I went into it expecting animation that was on par with the first one, but then they completely knocked my expectations out of the water and took it up a level. The story was also incredible. My only very minor nitpick is that at the end when Gwen's Spider team is created, Avatar Spider-Girl just felt like a weird unnecessary choice, like, she let Miles go and all, but other than that, there didn't seem much reason for her to join, but we'll have to see how I feel about her inclusion once Beyond the Spiderverse comes out
As a lifelong Spidey fan and someone who ADORES the first movie, I hate to say it, but I’m not feeling this one. There’s nothing especially egregious, but I do think the Twitter user from your first video on the movie’s hype was right. The movie can’t really stand on its own for me, and while I know it was always intended to be a part one of two, I still hoped for an ending that felt satisfactory on its own. Obviously the films are different, but Infinity War succeeds as a self-contained story without Endgame, but I feel this one ending on such a huge cliffhanger with a literal “to be continued” stuck at the end makes it feel like a first issue of a two issue comic arc. I also feel that Spot’s arc is a little too similar to Electro’s in TASM2, just elevated to a multiversal level.
On some positive notes. I think Gwen’s story is excellent, this made me wish she had her own movie. Miles’s relationship with his mother really shines, and it’s special. The visuals are, of course, incredible and the unique feel of every world is a testament to the team that worked on it. The cameos are solid, and don’t feel too heavy-handed, just a fun bit of nice fan-service. Hobie Brown is also a really fun addition to the team, even if I had trouble with his dialogue on occasion. The themes of the film are also really fascinating, with the central question being whether Miles can resist destiny, and what his supposed status as an “accidental” Spider-Man means. Having Gwen’s dad quit the police force thus undermining the “police captain must die” narrative also ties in well to Miles early statement “we’re the same, in all the ways that matter.” There’s just some nice narrative symmetry both within the movie itself and with reference to the first movie.
All in all, I don’t think this is a bad movie by any means, but if I’m entirely honest, I feel much the same way I did after Far From Home. It just didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
Nobody cares
@@TherealMosesreed on a RUclips channel where the creator encouraged opinions and wants to talk about movies and shows with their community? Seems a little bit like an unnecessary comment on your part but do your thing.
i disagree with your final point on it being an incompletely story. not only does gwen undergo a full arc (which is clearly the point of the story of this movie, she has the first and last scene. she's not the main character, but it's a story about her), the delivery of the message of her arc is only less powerful than the message in into because the message in into is just so incredibly well delivered. sure, they don't beat the bad guy, they don't even beat miguel, but they don't do that in infinity war either. Every aspect of a story is here. There's a rising action, a climax, even a falling action. to be fair there's no segment that i'd call a "conlcusion" but i'd hardly say that's the most important part of a story, and even then many things are concluded (gwens arc being the primary example of this). there are 3 acts, each pretty clearly defined. There's setup, there's payoff. Everything that makes up a story is here, there's just more to come. sure, the cliffhanger is unsatisfying, but this is DEFINITELY a complete story. and i have more to say, im just trying to be concise because this is a youtube comment lmao. The only reason the extent of the debunking of the "half a movie" critisism is only ever "but gwen has an arc" is because most people who make that arguement haven't thought that far.
Although it doesnt excuse how this movie ended in a really odd place i think u could argue that miles is the main character of both movies combined but the star of this movie alone is gwen as it tells her complete story and i think the star of the next film alone is Miguel as it will tell his story
I know Across the Spider Verse is the longest hollywood animated movie but it still felt short to me 😂
I saw it in IMAX and the whole film’s audio was low.
37:00 inf war could only be a complete story because endgame had time travel in it
I hope we wont time travel in beyond
Idk if anyone brought this up. But with the connection to the mcu. Did Andrew catching mj in no way home stop a canon event for Tom ?
I have a theory: we will have a non Spider-Man character in BTSV. Matt Murdock mad a cameo in ITSV, Dr. Strange was namedropped in ATSV. You can’t go beyond the SPIDER-Verse with SPIDER-Man.
As a European I didn't notice the sound, neither with Tenet back in 2020. I think it's just that we have subtitles I automatically go to if I didn't hear something so Idon't notice.
Miles is the best of all of us
Something else to note about Donald Glover’s appearance is how important he is to the character Miles Morales. He was openly hoping to be cast as Spider-man for “Amazing Spiderman” before it went to Andrew Garfield, and racist backlash like “Spiderman can’t be black” led Bendis to create Miles!
I loved this movie it gave me everything I ever wanted as a spider-man fan.
Excited for the video! Clicked as fast as I could not only cuz I’m excited but because I wanted to ask you a question before the comments section fills up - Do you plan on doing letterboxd eventually?
I'm not sure what you mean. I have posted on Letterboxd multiple times in the last 2 weeks. I started an account years ago. I don't use it much because I don't really like it.
Spider 2099 is very kang from Loki vibes governing the timeline believing it’s for the greater good
I am so to be Puerto rican 🇵🇷 I like this movie has more representation than the first.
I don't know if you saw this, but when Miles is scanned into the Go Home machine, it reads Earth 42. Since we already got multiple teases, I immediately knew what was going on. But I totally agree. I LOVED the twist at the end where he wasn't in the right universe.
9:32 ah yes my favorite movie, Spider-Man Quantumania
No hate btw love your content!
I liked every thing except for that damn cliffhanger. My favorite part was the spider fight.
Crazy how miles is the only spider man to have both his parents
Im so happy we finally got Spiderman 2099 on the big screen
It was good 👍🏽 8/10 for me ! Too long but visual masterpiece
Same for my theater voices were so low and music so loud but only in the beginning
I think The Spot is a perfect villain, I never heard of him before this movie but he is definitely one of my favorite villains, movie was just good to me. Too much plots and talking, not enough action
Okay hear me out what if miles event that has to happen is Gwen dying, ORRR what if they just go back in time with a collider and make sure miles doesn’t get bit.
Also thought my hearing was getting worse in my elder age
I’ve been wondering this for a wile now Spider-Man 2099 said miles wasn’t supposed to be Spider-Man who was tho like who was going to be Spider-Man if miles wasn’t supposed to
