Due the extensive background music and heavy copyright restrictions from the studios, we had to keep the clips used really really short in order for this video to even be allowed to stay up.
Two things I love about the scene with Miles's leap of faith: The script describes the shot with the city upside down like this, "Miles isn't falling through frame. He's RISING" Also, when Miles pushes off from the building, the glass shatters, meaning he was still stuck to it and not able to relax. He didn't know if it was going to work, it really was a leap of faith.
I've seen this movie too many times to count and I NEVER picked up on the meaning of the glass breaking (always thought it was just visual flair), but wow do I love that omg. God every single detail in the Spider-Verse movies was made intentionally and with so much purpose, and I'll forever respect everyone who worked on them to make that so
The only thing I never understood about the "leap of faith" concept in this movie is, Peter B Parker tells Miles that he won't know if/when he is ready and sometimes it takes a leap of faith....but says that while telling him he isn't ready and preventing him from trying to take the leap of faith. I could just be missing something, but that's always made me confused.
"Peter Porker was born a spider (simply named Peter). Residing in the basement lab of May Porker, a slightly goofy animal scientist who had created "the world's first atomic powered hairdryer," hoping that "the introduction of nuclear fission into America's beauty salons" would "revolutionize the hair care industry". After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities. After this startling series of events, Peter (who adopted the surname "Porker", that of his benefactor May Porker, who after the accident reverted mentally to a state in which she believed she was Peter's loving aunt) dedicated himself and his new-found abilities to fighting injustice as Spider-Ham."
@@Otisboy121that's were multiverse stories start to fall a part. They create a universe but then have two or more of them interact but if there are any inconsistencies that "it was just another universe..." Gotta have some things be concrete even if there is shifted between multiple concrete things. It's like Multiverse of Madness had a one off joke of MCU Dr. Strange being from 616 universe even though that's the print comics universe. It was a fun nole for long term fans but then everyone started to say it was true regardless of the decades long history of print comics.
I had low expectations the first time I watched this movie and it completely blew my mind. The scene that will always get me is Miles’ dad’s speech. The man just lost his brother whom he was estranged with & now he fears the same thing will happen with his son. Still brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch
"I love you. You don't have to say it back." Goddamn, that line cuts me every time. He just wants his child to know that, no matter what, he'll always love him and doesn't need anything, not even a confirmation, in return.
This movie has a ton of really good lines that tells you everything you need to know about the character in just a few words. These writers are not only familiar with Spiderman lore, they love it. It's fantastic.
At 13:22 - I love that Peter stops Miles from completing the sentence. For him, it isn't a snappy catchphrase, it's core to everything important about his style of heroism. That shows the differences between them so clearly - Miles hasn't had the trauma that makes that line so important to Peter, he's still young and excited about being a hero.
what i like about that scene is that, every freaking time they do this, the person stops before the other even ask them to. kinda like "blah blah" stops for a seconds, then the other person goes "dont finish that sentence". in here, they do it the natural way, which is cutting the other person before they finish.
For your Kingpin question at the end: His status is super suspicious as far as "powers" go. When he was originally created the idea was that he was a trained fighter and he had something like 2% body fat - meaning his enormous size was all pure muscle so he was insanely strong and resilient. Over the years, however, he's survived and done feats which a lot of people find sus af. He's survived gun shots to the head, had Spiderman literally punch his jaw off (recently!), and can do things like rip doors off of cars with ease (things that no actual human could do, no matter how strong.)
His most impressive feat may be from the 80s, when he defeated a then-super soldier Red Skull in a fair one-on-one (because even Fisk doesn't like HYDRA). Most things he's done are *possible* - people do occasionally survive those injuries IRL and an NFL player ripped a car door off a few years ago to save a man - but HIGHLY unlikely to keep happening with the same regular guy.
@@JBWinter With the car door, it's documented that people can have high levels of strength and endurance when they're put in situations like this. But that isn't the case with Fisk. Fisk is like, "Oh, I want this car door done. Let me just tug extra hard at it." And while the other circumstances like getting shot in the head and surviving isn't exactly wild, the fact it happens to Fisk and he recovers like, every other year? Oof.
Fisk is SUPPOSED to be a super strong human being ... no superpowers, however, as many have pointed out - he's managed to accomplish feats of strength and endurance which seem far beyond that of any normal human. On the other hand... there's an ongoing theory that Spider-Man has ALWAYS been pulling all of his punches to an extreme level - as his physical prowess is such that ANY exertion of strength on his part would mean, he could KILL any normal human being with a casual flick of his fist. (And he has been "rolling" with any punches or kicks thrown by those around him in order to absorb some of the energy so that the person won't shatter their limbs upon contacting Spider-Man)
@@ericc8705 That's not even a theory, it's canon. Peter routinely seems to struggle versus his rogues, but when Doc Ock was in Peter's body he accidentally punched the superhuman Scorpion's jaw completely off. Peter has also put his fist *through* the Hulk's chest, which is wild to even think about
Fun fact time; Aaron Davies showed up in Spider-Man: Homecoming as the crook Spidey shook down for information. He was portrayed by Donald Glover, who was the real-life inspiration for Miles Morales
Reportedly, Donald Glover was supposed to be The Amazing Spider-man. Sony was considering flipping it up with a black Peter Parker, before Andrew Garfield was given the role. Thank goodness it fell through, because it would have been an affront against Miles Morales.
@@Ncyphenglover was never "reportedly" going to be spider-man the licensing deal sony and marvel has literally doesn't allow anything like that it was leaked online during the sony hacks alongside of other information, peter parker is contractual obligated to be a straight white male, it was however a fan casting that got some attention particularly because glover himself was the main person advocating for it
I remember watching this in the theater, loving it, and jokingly thinking "if this movie brings in Doc Ock it'll be my favorite Spider-Man movie" - Doc Ock being my favorite villain. It absolutely blew my mind when the scientist revealed herself as a badass Octavius. I think I screamed in the theater.
ELECTRO: The way you help people.... I thought you'd be black. SPIDER-MAN (PETER 3): Oh.... sorry. ELECTRO: No, don't apologize. There's gotta be a black Spider-Man somewhere.
Per George’s comment: This was unreal in theaters. Blew everyone’s expectations out of the water and then some. Edit: Oh wow all these years and I’ve never seen the post credits scene.
Donald Glover "Childish Gambino" played Miles Morales's uncle the Prowler in the Marvel Spider-man movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. He even mentioned his nephew as a nod to the character.
When Peter and Miles are escaping the lab and Miles chucks the bagel at one of the scientists. The comics emphasis on the bagel hitting someone with the caption "*BAGEL!*" Had me dying in the theater. Just little bits of details like that I really appreciate from the filmmakers and animators.
Miles was originally from the Ultimate universe. In that Peter also died before he could really teach Miles about his powers. He's personally my favorite version of Spiderman. I like Ben Riley too, but he's a whole other story.
@@cameroncimmerius1203Some of us were there for the original Clone Saga, before it's unfortunate retcon 😅 Scarlet Spider is a favorite costume of mine too.
Miles is part of the Ultimate Universe which was a reboot of the main marvel comics universe in the early 2000’s meant to introduce new readers to comics without having to follow or know the years of comics that came before it. In the comics the spider that bit miles was an improved version of the spider that bit Peter that gave him extra powers like his camouflage and his venom blast which has straight up turned into electric powers over the years.
Sony took a big chance gambling on this project, but this was really the start of something special going on in the animation game today. Ever since this movie came out it’s been a breath of fresh air seeing all these new animation techniques being applied to such big budget animated movies like The Mitchells vs. The Machines and even something like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. I can’t wait until you guys watch the new Spider-Verse film, it’s gonna blow both your minds! It has an even more talented voice cast ensemble than the first and still has an amazing story at its core.
Also Arcane which came out shortly after and also presented its own animation style. (Hailee Steinfeld, who voiced Spider-Gwen is also in that.) There's lots of animation styles through the years, but many people only know Disney and Tiny Toons …
There was a Spider-Man game called "Shattered Dimensions" that let you play different versions of Spidey. One of those is Spider-Man Noir. It's full on noir, set in the 1920's, and in black and white. It's stealth and when you move into the light and can be seen, the colors fade back in. Noir was a really fun change on the character.
One of the main reasons this movie changed the game in animation industry is it reminded everyone that animation has no limits when it comes to art. They're not held back by live-action, they can come up with so many great shots if they only think of them.
yess you got it. Eastern Animation has been producing beautiful and skillful animation monthly/weekly for decades now, but western animation has always been held back by the fact that so many believe it is for children and even award shows don't take it seriously (they only have the category "animation" even though animation can be ANY genre, just like live-action) But this movie undeniably started a shift in many peoples minds. You can make animation enjoyable, beautiful and nuanced for adults without including sex, drugs and vulgular jokes, just like live-action. I hope the strikes going on right now will end with artists getting paid the price they deserve and we will end up with many more amazing western animation!
One thing I noticed only when watching the video is that you can actually see all the different spider people when the lizard puts Peter's head in the collider. That was such amazing attention to detail. 8:44
Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) in the comics did not have super powers but was just incredibly strong and durable from training extensively after experiencing trauma. Also Spider-Gwen was first introduced in this series and a comic adaptation was made after as a part of the "Spider-verse" storyline which is a segment of the Amazing Spider-Man comics
Yeah Kingpin in the comics is a weird one. He absolutely has super strength but officially “does not have super powers”. He’s had buildings fall on him, he’s been shot in the head more than once, he has been hit by cars more than once, he always survives.
@@rainbowpegacornstudiosyes? But this is arguably the most hyper-exaggerated of the depictions. Just imagine if a brick wall were personified, and that's how Kingpin has been drawn in many of his appearances.
WRT reboot universes: Usually it's not because they've "run out of stories to tell or threats to face". It's because the built up lore and backstory has become so large that the publishers (rightly or wrongly) feel it's too hard for new readers to jump in. Especially with Marvel, they've usually had their re-imagined universe comics run as new titles alongside the existing titles in the "main" continuity.
The spider verse is crazy in the actual comic world. They have created so many different versions of Spider-Man, including a t-Rex and a sentient vehicle named Peter Parked-Car.
So for some lore questions answered; Kingpin hasn't shown up in Spider-Man movies before, but he was prominent in the classic animated series, having debuted as a Spider-Man villain. In fact Daredevil and Spider-Man once had a discussion over whether Fisk was a member of their rogues gallery. He is usually just a regular guy, he's just all muscle, and like the Daredevil show he has a kevlar body armor under his clothes to resist blows. Biological webs were more a Raimi-thing too, usually his webs have been mechanical Spider-Gwen debuted in the comics event of Spider-Verse, and of course her huge popularity got her a spin-off comic series. Spiders have had relationships, Peter had dalliances with Cindy Moon, aka Silk, but it was difficult to know if the feelings were legitimate because they were drawn together by pheromones (they were bitten by the same spider), there have been continuities of MJ also having spider-powers or simply donning the suit and web shooters with Peter. Of course cross-dimensional romances are a bit more difficult to achieve.
I don't believe it. I know it is. The level of detail, the originality, great characters, great stories. Plus it's funny, deep and has great twists. And to think the second goes even beyond all that. Really an amazing movie
Personally I wasn't a huge fan of this one. The animation and visuals are gorgeus but I wasn't super invested in any of the characters or the overall story. I did really love Across the Spider-Verse though. I feel like it managed to be an improvement in basically every aspect.
Of all of the hero’s appearing in this movie, Spider-Ham is probably the closest to the comic version. Blonde Peter-Parker is based on Ultimate spider-Man, the comic universe where Miles is from, but is clearly a variant of the comic version since he lived into his 20s unlike the comic spider-man from that universe. Peter B Parker is kind of like a sad future version of the main spider-man that was created in the sixties. That version has probably only aged 15 years since 1963 due to the necessity of sliding timescales (like how the Simpsons have barely aged in 35 years). Peni, Noir and Gwen are also based on comic versions but they are slightly different in design or personality. Miles is pretty different in this movie mostly because of his relationship with his Uncle. In the comic, Uncle Aaron is an absolute piece of shit who physically and emotionally abuses Miles. When he learns that his nephew is Spider-Man, he tries to turn him in to the villains in order to raise his profile with them and save his own skin. When he dies, he uses his last seconds of life to berate Miles and blame him for his death. This fucks Miles up for a long time before he realizes that his Uncle Aaron was responsible for his own death.
That "Blonde Spider-man", while in the movie universe is much like the Ultimate universe (Miles is from there, as is the beastial Green Goblin) seems to also be a little based off the Scarlet Spider, the 616 Spider-Man clone (he was older, and died his hair blonde to distance himself from the original). Ultimate Spider-Man (Peter Parker from the "Ultimate" line of comics) was killed in a fight with the Green Goblim at the age of 16 (after suffering injurings in a major multiple hero and villain fight). Much like in this film, Mile has just gained his powers and witnessed Peter's death.
Seems to me like in terms of his story, Blonde Peter-Parker is mainly based off the Sam Raimi trilogy. The snippets at the beginning are all from that (the upside down kiss with MJ, the scene in which Doc Ock throws a car into a restaurant, the finger snapping and dancing in the middle of the street).
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi From his intro, yes, absolutely, Raimi Spider-Man with a twist (MJ upside down for the kiss, punching the car Spidey in costme while dancing).
To me personally, it really helps drive the point across when one of the silliest, cartoony-est character delivers one of the hardest truths all Spider-People need to face, that you can't save everyone no matter how hard you try. Also, this movie came out shortly after the death of Stan Lee, so his presence hits even harder. And Simone, don't worry, you're the most special one out there ❤ Loved the reactions, as usual!
Oh man, you’re in for a treat with the sequel. I didn’t think they could top this one and I was so very wrong. Preordered it the moment I left the theater.
Some quick backstory and one of the biggest reasons why I love this movie: After the movies started coming out, there were a lot of people who liked the movies but had never read a comic book before and wanted to try them out but didn't know where to start. Marvel got a bunch of their best writers and artists together and relaunched all their major series at Issue #1, but the writers all agreed to take it in a non-movie-continuity, so they all came up with very different versions of the books so that people could start from scratch and get the general core ideas of the characters, but without any of the baggage or anything. It was a completely unique version of the Marvel Universe, specifically geared toward getting people into comics for the first time. Ultimate Spider-Man started out with Peter Parker, but years later they had a big event in all of the Ultimate books that killed off some characters, and Miles became the new Spider-Man in the Ultimate books. There was a big 50/50 split on him because people who like good stories and characters in their comics liked both him and that series, and people with their heads shoved up Rupert Murdoch's asshole didn't. They ran big fuckin headlines on FOX news about how having a black spider-man was just a publicity stunt for SJW points and shit like that. So then a few years later there was another book that was specifically called "Spider-Verse" that had more of the multiple-universe of Spider-People plot that this movie has, and Miles eventually showed up a bit in that, but he wasn't a huge character in that series. This flick is like a mash-up of those two stories, and it's fucking brilliant and perfect. But I love that this movie calls out the racist assholes who got butt-hurt when they had the gall to make a mixed race Spider-Man. I love that this movie was as popular as it was, and served as a great big "fuck you" and middle finger to all the racist, basement-dwelling, incel dipshits that have forever infested comic book culture and make me feel a twinge of embarrassment any time I tell someone that I like comics. I don't really dig on superhero shit with a couple of books being the only exception, but most people don't give a shit about the different mindset of people who dig on superhero shit and people who dig on slice-of-life, historical dramas and stuff like that. And Manga, I guess, but that's it's own little culture of people as well...
This was an absolutely stunning cinema experience for me. I actually got in the first time free at a midnight showing because my friend owned the theater, then I went twice more dragging cousins. This is exactly why I love the big screen. It was funny, touching and just an experience. There were even a few spider Gwen cosplays that blew my mind. A town of 2k people, that's not something I ever expected to see. It was a great time.
I love two lines above all in this movie. First, is when all the spider people are giving their background stories and Spider Pig says he was bitten by a radioactive pig, implying he was a spider and the pig part of him is what's super powered about him. And second is all the villains breaking into Aunt May's house and she looks at Doc Oc and goes "Oh great, it's Liv." after she had told Peter it was actually her friends that call her Liv, and her enemies that call her Doc Oc. thus implying that Liv and Aunt May are friends in Miles' universe. Everything about this movie visually is just amazing. So sad that Sony and Fox couldn't have this sort of vision with more Marvel films.
Spider-Ham was one of my favorite comics growing up. It was a universe of talking animals and they had witty alt versions of other Marvel comics characters. It was kind of an answer to DC's own popular talking animal series called Captain Carrot.
All the great animated movies we’ve had over the last year - Puss In Boots, Nimona, Mutant Mayhem -owe a tip of the hat to this movie. Spider-verse definitely inspired big studios to let animated projects take more creative risks and I’m absolutely here for it.
14:29 King Pin originally showed up in the Netflix Daredevil Show but transitioned to the MCU in the Hawk Eye Disney Plus show. He was played in both by Vincent D'onofrio.
Goddamn the visuals and music is so good for this film. The aesthetics was seriously groundbreaking after a long while of lack of innovation in the field. Pixar used to push the changes in anination but got too complacent and fell behind, I only recall their shorts trying to shake things up.
I'm still so happy they changed the "Juice WRLD - Hide" lyrics from "Pills" to "Thrills". Example: "She made me leave the pills at home and I'm fine with it" - They also replaced Kodak Black w/ Seezyn. (you can listen to the original by including "OG" when searching for it on youtube)
Also a little fun nugget: In the subway train in the second collider sequence, there's a couple frames of a young Matt Murdock (Daredevil) standing there with his red lensed glasses and cane.
One of many of my favorite detail tidbits is that Peter B. Parker is actually from our universe and he gets transported to Miles' universe, an alternate dimension from our Earth. Those that knew the numbers of Earths from the comics picked it up immediately from all the numbers flashed in the background, but you can also tell from Peter B's flashback where we can see a Coco-Cola sign, whereas in Miles' dimension with Peter Parker the sign says "Koca-Soda". It's also in little differences like NYPD versus PDNY. I also loved that to keep the Peters straight the producers and animators referred to them as "Burrito Peter" and "RIPeter"
That ending is basically what the original Spider-man TV series looked like. (If you look again at OG Spider-man's costume has a six legged spider instead of eight - this would change from scene to scene) Kingpin spoke some of the lyrics to the theme when we first saw him on screen.
The storyline where Spider-Man was universally beloved was House of M. As in that reality mutants ruled the world, with Magneto's family acting as royalty, Peter was pretending to be a mutant. And he prevented Uncle Ben from dying, so he never gave up his TV career. Thus he was a world famous TV personality, not a crimefighter.
I always found that story odd since in the main 616 universe the X-Men didn't like him at first because he was a mutate and not a mutant. It was a wild play on the race issue since he was born human but later mutated whereas they were born mutants. They quickly came to good terms but it's still an interesting little moment.
In the main universe, one of my favorite quirks is J. Jonah generally disliking supers, Spider-Man most of all...but Silk? Silk, another Spider, now THERE'S a hero he gets behind!
@@christopherb501 There's also Jameson's own son, Man-Wolf/Stargod. For a little while, John Jameson was also the hero Captain Jupiter. I'd expect that J. Jonah cut his own kid some slack since the main reason he disliked Spider-Man is because Spider-Man (and other supers) shifted public attention away from more ordinary heroes like his astronaut son.
Yes but I imagine it's like Fisk speaking at one in his honor. They have keep up appearances. Fisk doesn't want the world to know he's a villain on top of being one of the world's richest men and NYC's powerhouse, both financially and physically so he had to act, in the public eye like he supports the wall crawler. Like wise MJ likely knows who Fisk really is as well as some of parkers other villains (and to be fair in many other adaptations she's his "guy in the chair" supporting him behind the scenes in one way or another so it's canonical proven its possible) but it's an event in honor of her husband. She can't not be there especially now that the works knows who spider man was. So both sides put on metaphorical masks and smile to each other and the cameras
It actually makes me sad that Simone's first viewing of this perfect, amazing film was on a small screen. The sheer talent and artistry involved in making this (and the new one ... and I'm sure the next one) deserve seeing it on as big a screen as possible (I hope George saw it first in theaters). I would actually rather have both of you see the new one on a big screen - although I guess it's too late for theaters but not a large TV at least , with surround sound, if at all possible - and lose seeing your initial reaction. There are one second long parts of both films that I just don't fully understand how they were made. Absolutely my favorite Spiderman film, and even my favorite MCU film. Perfection, start to finish.
Spider-Ham is one I've known about for some time. I actually have a copy of Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham #15, which I read growing up. Considering it recounted his origin, I know that he was a spider bitten by a radioactive Aunt May. She was a super genius scientist before, and all that transferred to Peter. When he transformed due to the bite, she lost her scientific knowledge and thought he was her nephew. His love interest is Mary Jane Water Buffalo, though he also has interest in Batty Brant (counterpart to the mainstream universe's Betty Brant). J. Jonah Jackal is the cantankerous newspaper editor, and Hobgobbler is one of his villains. The comic also had a backup story featuring the Scavengers (aka that universe's Avengers), which has Squawkeye, the Scarlet Pooch, Quacksilver, and others I forget the names of. In it, they need to face off against Kangaroo the Conqueror, and he has as his minion Ultrog (aka their Ultron). Overall, they had fun with the names.
I saw it in the theater and it was incredible. I've never been a fan of any of the live action Spider-Man films (Toby, Andrew, or Tom) but this film floored me. Visually, emotionally, everything... just an incredible experience.
I was almost totally burnt out on superhero movies, but this movie and its sequel rekindled my interest in them. These movies let you experience a sense of child-like wonder as an adult.
It pains me to say the same about being burned out on comic book movies when I've ben a fan since the 80's but this movie really is proof that they can be stellar when the creators really love comics themselves.
-The Prowler in the MCU was played by Donald Glover. He referenced Miles when Peter questioned him. -Simone, Kingpin hasn't shown up in the Spider-Man movies, BUT he has shown up in the Daredevil Netflix series as well as the Hawkeye Series on Disney. -Kingpin is human, but he is stronger than the average human. He is advanced in martial arts. Extremely smart and clever and finds ways to outsmart his opponents. -Spider-Ham has been around since 1983 along with a bunch of other anthropomorphic superheroes. There is one for just about every Marvel character created.
Kingpin started in Spider-Man comics, but eventually he became Daredevil's archnemesis, so that's where he appeared - the 2003(?) movie with Ben Affleck and the MCU-adjacent Netflix series.
Miles Morales was introduced in the Marvel title Ultimate Spider Man comic in August 2011. He wasn't introduced into the animated TV series until April 2012. Just FYI. And the Toby Mcguire Spider Man was the first one to have organic web shooters, in the original comic, Peter Parker created his, along with the web fluid. As to this movie hitting you right in the feels, situation normal for Spidey. One of the themes that constantly run through the comics, is Peter's constantly having to try to balance between being Peter Parker and Spider Man, and sometimes failing at both. I've never read any of the Miles comics but I've heard amazing things about them. Also, I thought that this movie ROCKED! Glad that you both reacted to it!
I dont think I've seen a single reaction where they catch that blonde Peter identifies the Prowler by name like right when he shows up. It's like they only start listening to the dialogue of that fight on "are you mad at me, feels like you're mad at me."
At the end we have Miguel O'Hara, Spider-man from the Spider-man 2099 series of the '90s. I really loved this series, and it was good to see Miguel on screen. Haven't been as fond of him in other series since.
30+ year comic book fan here and I was so worried about this. Also, I'm not fan of the Ultimate universe, and Miles in general, so, my hopes for this was quite low. Honestly, it's the best Spider-man movie ever made. Shockingly good.
Kingpin has appeared in live-action media before, but never as a Spidey villain. He was the baddie in the TV movie _The Trial of the Incredible Hulk_ (1989) played by John Rhys-Davies, by Michael Clark Duncan in _Daredevil_ (2003), and most recently by Vincent D'Onofrio in the _Daredevil_ Netflix series which has squirreled him into the MCU.
Two answer two of your bigger questions. First, all of the spider people existed in universe before this movie, whether they existed in comics, mangas, TV, or whatever. Second, King Pin's mass is pure muscle. So he is abnormal in that he has all that muscle, but his strength isn't supernatural, just extra muscles.
Yep, all the alternate Spideys including Spider-Ham and Noir have appeared in the comics. Noir had a good 4 part miniseries in the late 00s, dont think hes had a long running title tho.
We got Donald Glover as Miles' uncle in Spiderman homecoming. He's the guy that got webbed to the car and his ice-cream melted.. Donald glover did a comedy show where he talked about how social media blew up demanding him to be Miles since he's "black and nerdy", so if you didn't quite know that you wouldn't of known who he was supposed to be when he says he "has a nephew that lives around here"
It's a little interesting that Peter Parker explains his background at the beginning and says "...you know the rest", but he isn't from our familiar version of marvel understanding. He is in an alternate universe. Peter B. Parker is from the one we understand.
Fun facts: Miles has a special framerate trough the movie. Until he accepts his powers, he runs at 12 FPS, and after that, he goes double like all the other Spider-People. When the collider "explodes", you can see the other Spider-People be launched trough the city. After the accident that broke the USB, Miles starts to keep his shoes tied. Peni's mouth is only synched with what she says in the Japanese dub.
Miles was mentioned on Spiderman Homecoming, the guy that Spiderman left his hand stick on the car was Uncle Aaron and he ended calling Miles to told him that he's going to be late
Spiderman Noir its a canon character, he also was a playable character on the game Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, and Spider Ham appears at the ending of that game too
For all that people talk about the animation style and the humor of this movie, both absolutely deserved, the scene where Miles is tied to a chair and his (step) dad opens up about why he treats him the way he does is the best scene in the whole damn movie. It is perhaps the perfect depiction of fatherly love, it is heartbreaking and uplifting all at once… words that feel important to hear and more important to say. “I see this spark in you, it’s amazing… but it’s yours, and whatever you decide to do with it, you’ll be great. Look, call me when you can. I love you Miles… you don’t have to say it back though…”
The Earths each Spider-Person is from: Earth-1610: Miles and Blonde Peter's earth the universe where this whole film takes place in also known as the Ultimate universe. Earth-616: Peter B.Parker aka Fat Peter's universe, 616 is the Main Marvel universe and is considered to be the one where all the Canonical storylines take place. Earth-65: the universe where an alternate Gwen Stacy gets Spider Powers and doesn't get killed by Green Goblin unlike other Gwen Stacys, she became Spider-Gwen/Spider-Woman and then later the second Ghost-Spider. Earth-90214: Spider-Man Noir's universe, it's a black and white universe based on the 1930s. Earth-14512: Peni Parker aka SP//dr's universe, it's basically Spider-Man meets Neon Genesis Evangelion. Earth-8311: Peter Porker's universe, it's filled with anthropomorphic animals and runs on Cartoon Physics, it's the universe where Iron Man is a mouse and the Hulk is a green Bunny. Earth-928: Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099's universe, Basically it's Earth-616 but in the year 2099 however it also weirdly counts as a alternate universe. Earth-67: 60s Spider-Man's earth, based on the 60s cartoon. Aside from the last one aka 60s Spider-Man all of these other ones have their own comic series.
Trivia: Penni Parker was created for the Spider-Verse comic event by Gerard Way, the vocalist of My Chemical Romance, ha was even in the comic when spide-ham went to recruit her, the tone of the comic and Penni are more serious and the design of the robot is very different, still I love how the used her in this movie ❤
I remember seeing this for the first time in a cinema in 3D and having my mind absolutely blown. The 3D really adds a level of depth to this movie that makes it almost a completely different viewing experience to regular 2D. Just a beautifully crafted movie. Across The Spider-verse is just as beautiful and I’m very much looking forward to Beyond The Spider-verse!
In Spider-Man homecoming, Donald Glover plays Aaron (the prowler) and mentions his nephew Miles. That’s the only mention of him so far as I can tell in the MCU
I understand that the movie is already streaming but that there are already people reacting and profiting just by watching it and on top of that they give you the option to watch it without filters with their "reaction" if you pay on patreon, incredible
Due the extensive background music and heavy copyright restrictions from the studios, we had to keep the clips used really really short in order for this video to even be allowed to stay up.
Kingpin's strength is close to super human
Come on! Damn you, copyright claimers!
We understand. Bummer because that “What’s Up Danger” scene is all time.
@@CrowTRobot Amen.
Did you try just muting the audio? They've got some legitimate billboard toppers on this soundtrack so I definitely understand the issues
Two things I love about the scene with Miles's leap of faith:
The script describes the shot with the city upside down like this, "Miles isn't falling through frame. He's RISING"
Also, when Miles pushes off from the building, the glass shatters, meaning he was still stuck to it and not able to relax. He didn't know if it was going to work, it really was a leap of faith.
Oh yes, I thought that when I watched it the first time as well.....
I've seen this movie too many times to count and I NEVER picked up on the meaning of the glass breaking (always thought it was just visual flair), but wow do I love that omg. God every single detail in the Spider-Verse movies was made intentionally and with so much purpose, and I'll forever respect everyone who worked on them to make that so
The only thing I never understood about the "leap of faith" concept in this movie is, Peter B Parker tells Miles that he won't know if/when he is ready and sometimes it takes a leap of faith....but says that while telling him he isn't ready and preventing him from trying to take the leap of faith. I could just be missing something, but that's always made me confused.
@@FullMetalBpeter above all is still a hero and cares about miles he rather have himself risk his life than have miles risk his life
The detail of him sticking to the glass is why this is my alltime #1 "birth of a hero" moment in all of comic movies.
I love that Peter Porker (Spider-Ham) is actually a spider that was bitten by a radioactive pig.
"Peter Porker was born a spider (simply named Peter). Residing in the basement lab of May Porker, a slightly goofy animal scientist who had created "the world's first atomic powered hairdryer," hoping that "the introduction of nuclear fission into America's beauty salons" would "revolutionize the hair care industry". After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities.
After this startling series of events, Peter (who adopted the surname "Porker", that of his benefactor May Porker, who after the accident reverted mentally to a state in which she believed she was Peter's loving aunt) dedicated himself and his new-found abilities to fighting injustice as Spider-Ham."
Lol the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon got that wrong when they did their Spider-Verse episodes.
@@fynnthefox9078or it was just a different universe version of him.
@@Otisboy121that's were multiverse stories start to fall a part. They create a universe but then have two or more of them interact but if there are any inconsistencies that "it was just another universe..."
Gotta have some things be concrete even if there is shifted between multiple concrete things.
It's like Multiverse of Madness had a one off joke of MCU Dr. Strange being from 616 universe even though that's the print comics universe. It was a fun nole for long term fans but then everyone started to say it was true regardless of the decades long history of print comics.
@@jessecortez9449 Either that or "a wizard did it!"
I had low expectations the first time I watched this movie and it completely blew my mind.
The scene that will always get me is Miles’ dad’s speech. The man just lost his brother whom he was estranged with & now he fears the same thing will happen with his son. Still brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch
The animation was insane ! 😮
"I love you. You don't have to say it back."
Goddamn, that line cuts me every time. He just wants his child to know that, no matter what, he'll always love him and doesn't need anything, not even a confirmation, in return.
This movie has a ton of really good lines that tells you everything you need to know about the character in just a few words. These writers are not only familiar with Spiderman lore, they love it. It's fantastic.
Its the way his voice actor delivers it. Ugh it breaks me up each time!!
I went to the cinema not knowing this was an animated film and came away thinking ( and still do ) this is the best Spider-Man film
At 13:22 - I love that Peter stops Miles from completing the sentence. For him, it isn't a snappy catchphrase, it's core to everything important about his style of heroism. That shows the differences between them so clearly - Miles hasn't had the trauma that makes that line so important to Peter, he's still young and excited about being a hero.
what i like about that scene is that, every freaking time they do this, the person stops before the other even ask them to. kinda like "blah blah" stops for a seconds, then the other person goes "dont finish that sentence". in here, they do it the natural way, which is cutting the other person before they finish.
For your Kingpin question at the end: His status is super suspicious as far as "powers" go. When he was originally created the idea was that he was a trained fighter and he had something like 2% body fat - meaning his enormous size was all pure muscle so he was insanely strong and resilient.
Over the years, however, he's survived and done feats which a lot of people find sus af. He's survived gun shots to the head, had Spiderman literally punch his jaw off (recently!), and can do things like rip doors off of cars with ease (things that no actual human could do, no matter how strong.)
Fisk can even go toe-to-toe with likes of Captain America and the Black Panther! Even fought Red Skull.
His most impressive feat may be from the 80s, when he defeated a then-super soldier Red Skull in a fair one-on-one (because even Fisk doesn't like HYDRA).
Most things he's done are *possible* - people do occasionally survive those injuries IRL and an NFL player ripped a car door off a few years ago to save a man - but HIGHLY unlikely to keep happening with the same regular guy.
@@JBWinter With the car door, it's documented that people can have high levels of strength and endurance when they're put in situations like this. But that isn't the case with Fisk. Fisk is like, "Oh, I want this car door done. Let me just tug extra hard at it."
And while the other circumstances like getting shot in the head and surviving isn't exactly wild, the fact it happens to Fisk and he recovers like, every other year? Oof.
Fisk is SUPPOSED to be a super strong human being ... no superpowers, however, as many have pointed out - he's managed to accomplish feats of strength and endurance which seem far beyond that of any normal human.
On the other hand... there's an ongoing theory that Spider-Man has ALWAYS been pulling all of his punches to an extreme level - as his physical prowess is such that ANY exertion of strength on his part would mean, he could KILL any normal human being with a casual flick of his fist. (And he has been "rolling" with any punches or kicks thrown by those around him in order to absorb some of the energy so that the person won't shatter their limbs upon contacting Spider-Man)
@@ericc8705 That's not even a theory, it's canon. Peter routinely seems to struggle versus his rogues, but when Doc Ock was in Peter's body he accidentally punched the superhuman Scorpion's jaw completely off. Peter has also put his fist *through* the Hulk's chest, which is wild to even think about
Fun fact time;
Aaron Davies showed up in Spider-Man: Homecoming as the crook Spidey shook down for information.
He was portrayed by Donald Glover, who was the real-life inspiration for Miles Morales
Also the TV in Aaron's house is playing a short clip of the Community episode where Donald Glover's character (Troy) is wearing a Spider-Man pajama.
@@IgorCamilo Yeah, that was a perfect little inside joke.
Glover wasn't just the inspiration, he was the first actor to ever play miles morales in the animated show
Reportedly, Donald Glover was supposed to be The Amazing Spider-man. Sony was considering flipping it up with a black Peter Parker, before Andrew Garfield was given the role. Thank goodness it fell through, because it would have been an affront against Miles Morales.
@@Ncyphenglover was never "reportedly" going to be spider-man the licensing deal sony and marvel has literally doesn't allow anything like that it was leaked online during the sony hacks alongside of other information, peter parker is contractual obligated to be a straight white male, it was however a fan casting that got some attention particularly because glover himself was the main person advocating for it
I remember watching this in the theater, loving it, and jokingly thinking "if this movie brings in Doc Ock it'll be my favorite Spider-Man movie" - Doc Ock being my favorite villain. It absolutely blew my mind when the scientist revealed herself as a badass Octavius. I think I screamed in the theater.
ELECTRO: The way you help people.... I thought you'd be black.
SPIDER-MAN (PETER 3): Oh.... sorry.
ELECTRO: No, don't apologize. There's gotta be a black Spider-Man somewhere.
Per George’s comment: This was unreal in theaters. Blew everyone’s expectations out of the water and then some.
Edit: Oh wow all these years and I’ve never seen the post credits scene.
One of them.
It was insane ! 🔥🕷️
Donald Glover "Childish Gambino" played Miles Morales's uncle the Prowler in the Marvel Spider-man movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. He even mentioned his nephew as a nod to the character.
He was Aaron Davis in homecoming
And he still plays Aaron Davis(Prowler)…
Soon to be seen by them
When Peter and Miles are escaping the lab and Miles chucks the bagel at one of the scientists. The comics emphasis on the bagel hitting someone with the caption "*BAGEL!*" Had me dying in the theater. Just little bits of details like that I really appreciate from the filmmakers and animators.
YoU HiT mE wItH a BaGeL
Miles was originally from the Ultimate universe. In that Peter also died before he could really teach Miles about his powers. He's personally my favorite version of Spiderman. I like Ben Riley too, but he's a whole other story.
And now we got Spider-Boy Bailey
I didn't think anyone liked Ben Riley.
@@cameroncimmerius1203Some of us were there for the original Clone Saga, before it's unfortunate retcon 😅 Scarlet Spider is a favorite costume of mine too.
@@cameroncimmerius1203a lot of people do.
Miles is part of the Ultimate Universe which was a reboot of the main marvel comics universe in the early 2000’s meant to introduce new readers to comics without having to follow or know the years of comics that came before it. In the comics the spider that bit miles was an improved version of the spider that bit Peter that gave him extra powers like his camouflage and his venom blast which has straight up turned into electric powers over the years.
Sony took a big chance gambling on this project, but this was really the start of something special going on in the animation game today. Ever since this movie came out it’s been a breath of fresh air seeing all these new animation techniques being applied to such big budget animated movies like The Mitchells vs. The Machines and even something like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I can’t wait until you guys watch the new Spider-Verse film, it’s gonna blow both your minds! It has an even more talented voice cast ensemble than the first and still has an amazing story at its core.
Maybe you should watch more anime which has lots of animation variation.
Also Arcane which came out shortly after and also presented its own animation style. (Hailee Steinfeld, who voiced Spider-Gwen is also in that.)
There's lots of animation styles through the years, but many people only know Disney and Tiny Toons …
@@Cheepchipsable been meaning to for sure. I’ve only seen a few Miyazaki films, Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
There was a Spider-Man game called "Shattered Dimensions" that let you play different versions of Spidey. One of those is Spider-Man Noir. It's full on noir, set in the 1920's, and in black and white. It's stealth and when you move into the light and can be seen, the colors fade back in. Noir was a really fun change on the character.
One of the main reasons this movie changed the game in animation industry is it reminded everyone that animation has no limits when it comes to art. They're not held back by live-action, they can come up with so many great shots if they only think of them.
yess you got it. Eastern Animation has been producing beautiful and skillful animation monthly/weekly for decades now, but western animation has always been held back by the fact that so many believe it is for children and even award shows don't take it seriously (they only have the category "animation" even though animation can be ANY genre, just like live-action)
But this movie undeniably started a shift in many peoples minds. You can make animation enjoyable, beautiful and nuanced for adults without including sex, drugs and vulgular jokes, just like live-action.
I hope the strikes going on right now will end with artists getting paid the price they deserve and we will end up with many more amazing western animation!
One thing I noticed only when watching the video is that you can actually see all the different spider people when the lizard puts Peter's head in the collider. That was such amazing attention to detail. 8:44
It's so fun hearing y'all speculate on questions and concepts that are addressed in the next movie lol. Can't wait to see how you both react to it!
Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) in the comics did not have super powers but was just incredibly strong and durable from training extensively after experiencing trauma. Also Spider-Gwen was first introduced in this series and a comic adaptation was made after as a part of the "Spider-verse" storyline which is a segment of the Amazing Spider-Man comics
Did he always have a huge body and a tiny head though?
Yeah Kingpin in the comics is a weird one. He absolutely has super strength but officially “does not have super powers”. He’s had buildings fall on him, he’s been shot in the head more than once, he has been hit by cars more than once, he always survives.
@@rainbowpegacornstudiosyes? But this is arguably the most hyper-exaggerated of the depictions. Just imagine if a brick wall were personified, and that's how Kingpin has been drawn in many of his appearances.
I thought Spider-Gwen fist in the spiderverse comics and had her own run off of that before the movie?
Spider-Gwen first appeared in 2014 (Edge of Spider-verse #2). Four years before this movie.
WRT reboot universes: Usually it's not because they've "run out of stories to tell or threats to face". It's because the built up lore and backstory has become so large that the publishers (rightly or wrongly) feel it's too hard for new readers to jump in. Especially with Marvel, they've usually had their re-imagined universe comics run as new titles alongside the existing titles in the "main" continuity.
The spider verse is crazy in the actual comic world. They have created so many different versions of Spider-Man, including a t-Rex and a sentient vehicle named Peter Parked-Car.
So for some lore questions answered; Kingpin hasn't shown up in Spider-Man movies before, but he was prominent in the classic animated series, having debuted as a Spider-Man villain. In fact Daredevil and Spider-Man once had a discussion over whether Fisk was a member of their rogues gallery. He is usually just a regular guy, he's just all muscle, and like the Daredevil show he has a kevlar body armor under his clothes to resist blows.
Biological webs were more a Raimi-thing too, usually his webs have been mechanical
Spider-Gwen debuted in the comics event of Spider-Verse, and of course her huge popularity got her a spin-off comic series.
Spiders have had relationships, Peter had dalliances with Cindy Moon, aka Silk, but it was difficult to know if the feelings were legitimate because they were drawn together by pheromones (they were bitten by the same spider), there have been continuities of MJ also having spider-powers or simply donning the suit and web shooters with Peter. Of course cross-dimensional romances are a bit more difficult to achieve.
that was the premise of the studio that made Arcane. that any time you paused the show, it's good enough to be a wallpaper.
I honestly believe this is one of the greatest movies ever made
I don't believe it. I know it is. The level of detail, the originality, great characters, great stories. Plus it's funny, deep and has great twists.
And to think the second goes even beyond all that. Really an amazing movie
Personally I wasn't a huge fan of this one. The animation and visuals are gorgeus but I wasn't super invested in any of the characters or the overall story.
I did really love Across the Spider-Verse though. I feel like it managed to be an improvement in basically every aspect.
Of all of the hero’s appearing in this movie, Spider-Ham is probably the closest to the comic version.
Blonde Peter-Parker is based on Ultimate spider-Man, the comic universe where Miles is from, but is clearly a variant of the comic version since he lived into his 20s unlike the comic spider-man from that universe.
Peter B Parker is kind of like a sad future version of the main spider-man that was created in the sixties. That version has probably only aged 15 years since 1963 due to the necessity of sliding timescales (like how the Simpsons have barely aged in 35 years).
Peni, Noir and Gwen are also based on comic versions but they are slightly different in design or personality.
Miles is pretty different in this movie mostly because of his relationship with his Uncle. In the comic, Uncle Aaron is an absolute piece of shit who physically and emotionally abuses Miles. When he learns that his nephew is Spider-Man, he tries to turn him in to the villains in order to raise his profile with them and save his own skin. When he dies, he uses his last seconds of life to berate Miles and blame him for his death. This fucks Miles up for a long time before he realizes that his Uncle Aaron was responsible for his own death.
Peni is the furthest from her comic origin, but I think Spiderman Evangelion would have been a bit much 😅
That "Blonde Spider-man", while in the movie universe is much like the Ultimate universe (Miles is from there, as is the beastial Green Goblin) seems to also be a little based off the Scarlet Spider, the 616 Spider-Man clone (he was older, and died his hair blonde to distance himself from the original). Ultimate Spider-Man (Peter Parker from the "Ultimate" line of comics) was killed in a fight with the Green Goblim at the age of 16 (after suffering injurings in a major multiple hero and villain fight). Much like in this film, Mile has just gained his powers and witnessed Peter's death.
Seems to me like in terms of his story, Blonde Peter-Parker is mainly based off the Sam Raimi trilogy. The snippets at the beginning are all from that (the upside down kiss with MJ, the scene in which Doc Ock throws a car into a restaurant, the finger snapping and dancing in the middle of the street).
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi From his intro, yes, absolutely, Raimi Spider-Man with a twist (MJ upside down for the kiss, punching the car Spidey in costme while dancing).
@@adp806scarlet spider is in the across spiderverse movie tho
I saw this in the theatres. I had sunflower on repeat for two hours on the drive home. I absolutely love this movie.
To me personally, it really helps drive the point across when one of the silliest, cartoony-est character delivers one of the hardest truths all Spider-People need to face, that you can't save everyone no matter how hard you try.
Also, this movie came out shortly after the death of Stan Lee, so his presence hits even harder.
And Simone, don't worry, you're the most special one out there ❤
Loved the reactions, as usual!
spider-ham's quote gets a very different meaning after the second movie...
Oh man, you’re in for a treat with the sequel. I didn’t think they could top this one and I was so very wrong. Preordered it the moment I left the theater.
I collected the Peter Porker comics when I was a kid in the 80s, I was so stoked that they included him in this.
Some quick backstory and one of the biggest reasons why I love this movie:
After the movies started coming out, there were a lot of people who liked the movies but had never read a comic book before and wanted to try them out but didn't know where to start. Marvel got a bunch of their best writers and artists together and relaunched all their major series at Issue #1, but the writers all agreed to take it in a non-movie-continuity, so they all came up with very different versions of the books so that people could start from scratch and get the general core ideas of the characters, but without any of the baggage or anything. It was a completely unique version of the Marvel Universe, specifically geared toward getting people into comics for the first time.
Ultimate Spider-Man started out with Peter Parker, but years later they had a big event in all of the Ultimate books that killed off some characters, and Miles became the new Spider-Man in the Ultimate books. There was a big 50/50 split on him because people who like good stories and characters in their comics liked both him and that series, and people with their heads shoved up Rupert Murdoch's asshole didn't. They ran big fuckin headlines on FOX news about how having a black spider-man was just a publicity stunt for SJW points and shit like that.
So then a few years later there was another book that was specifically called "Spider-Verse" that had more of the multiple-universe of Spider-People plot that this movie has, and Miles eventually showed up a bit in that, but he wasn't a huge character in that series. This flick is like a mash-up of those two stories, and it's fucking brilliant and perfect.
But I love that this movie calls out the racist assholes who got butt-hurt when they had the gall to make a mixed race Spider-Man. I love that this movie was as popular as it was, and served as a great big "fuck you" and middle finger to all the racist, basement-dwelling, incel dipshits that have forever infested comic book culture and make me feel a twinge of embarrassment any time I tell someone that I like comics. I don't really dig on superhero shit with a couple of books being the only exception, but most people don't give a shit about the different mindset of people who dig on superhero shit and people who dig on slice-of-life, historical dramas and stuff like that. And Manga, I guess, but that's it's own little culture of people as well...
This was an absolutely stunning cinema experience for me. I actually got in the first time free at a midnight showing because my friend owned the theater, then I went twice more dragging cousins. This is exactly why I love the big screen. It was funny, touching and just an experience. There were even a few spider Gwen cosplays that blew my mind. A town of 2k people, that's not something I ever expected to see. It was a great time.
I love that Aunt May and Liv had history.
Well, May and Otto almost got married in the comics.
A sapphic one.
I love two lines above all in this movie. First, is when all the spider people are giving their background stories and Spider Pig says he was bitten by a radioactive pig, implying he was a spider and the pig part of him is what's super powered about him. And second is all the villains breaking into Aunt May's house and she looks at Doc Oc and goes "Oh great, it's Liv." after she had told Peter it was actually her friends that call her Liv, and her enemies that call her Doc Oc. thus implying that Liv and Aunt May are friends in Miles' universe.
Everything about this movie visually is just amazing. So sad that Sony and Fox couldn't have this sort of vision with more Marvel films.
There was a bit in the Spider-Man comics where Doc Ock almost married Aunt May, so the "Oh great, it's Liv" might be a nod to that :)
Technically, you can always go further with Spider-Man. It's called "One More Day", and Joe Quesada is the villain.
Zeb Wells introducing Paul: Hold my beer...
Spider-Ham was one of my favorite comics growing up. It was a universe of talking animals and they had witty alt versions of other Marvel comics characters. It was kind of an answer to DC's own popular talking animal series called Captain Carrot.
And the names were (usually) decently punny, just like the Zoo Crew: Ducktor Doom, the Fantastic Fur, Captain Americat, Green Gobbler, etc.
I love that the Prowler's theme has an inverse siren, the opposite side of the coin to his police office brother.
I love that you were so excited for Jake Johnson- Girl that was me 😂
All the great animated movies we’ve had over the last year - Puss In Boots, Nimona, Mutant Mayhem -owe a tip of the hat to this movie. Spider-verse definitely inspired big studios to let animated projects take more creative risks and I’m absolutely here for it.
17:59 - Outside Aunt Mae’s he has 2 different shoes on… I am weaaakkkk 😂😂😂
“When you can see sound.” Appropriate response for this particular movie!
14:29 King Pin originally showed up in the Netflix Daredevil Show but transitioned to the MCU in the Hawk Eye Disney Plus show. He was played in both by Vincent D'onofrio.
Goddamn the visuals and music is so good for this film. The aesthetics was seriously groundbreaking after a long while of lack of innovation in the field. Pixar used to push the changes in anination but got too complacent and fell behind, I only recall their shorts trying to shake things up.
I'm still so happy they changed the "Juice WRLD - Hide" lyrics from "Pills" to "Thrills". Example: "She made me leave the pills at home and I'm fine with it" - They also replaced Kodak Black w/ Seezyn. (you can listen to the original by including "OG" when searching for it on youtube)
Also a little fun nugget: In the subway train in the second collider sequence, there's a couple frames of a young Matt Murdock (Daredevil) standing there with his red lensed glasses and cane.
One of many of my favorite detail tidbits is that Peter B. Parker is actually from our universe and he gets transported to Miles' universe, an alternate dimension from our Earth. Those that knew the numbers of Earths from the comics picked it up immediately from all the numbers flashed in the background, but you can also tell from Peter B's flashback where we can see a Coco-Cola sign, whereas in Miles' dimension with Peter Parker the sign says "Koca-Soda". It's also in little differences like NYPD versus PDNY.
I also loved that to keep the Peters straight the producers and animators referred to them as "Burrito Peter" and "RIPeter"
That ending is basically what the original Spider-man TV series looked like. (If you look again at OG Spider-man's costume has a six legged spider instead of eight - this would change from scene to scene)
Kingpin spoke some of the lyrics to the theme when we first saw him on screen.
The storyline where Spider-Man was universally beloved was House of M. As in that reality mutants ruled the world, with Magneto's family acting as royalty, Peter was pretending to be a mutant. And he prevented Uncle Ben from dying, so he never gave up his TV career. Thus he was a world famous TV personality, not a crimefighter.
I always found that story odd since in the main 616 universe the X-Men didn't like him at first because he was a mutate and not a mutant. It was a wild play on the race issue since he was born human but later mutated whereas they were born mutants. They quickly came to good terms but it's still an interesting little moment.
In the main universe, one of my favorite quirks is J. Jonah generally disliking supers, Spider-Man most of all...but Silk? Silk, another Spider, now THERE'S a hero he gets behind!
@@christopherb501 There's also Jameson's own son, Man-Wolf/Stargod. For a little while, John Jameson was also the hero Captain Jupiter.
I'd expect that J. Jonah cut his own kid some slack since the main reason he disliked Spider-Man is because Spider-Man (and other supers) shifted public attention away from more ordinary heroes like his astronaut son.
The glitching of the spider is such a crazy detail in hindsight. Wow!
MJ at an event with a lot of Peter's enemies, who she has to have known is soooooooo weird.
Yes but I imagine it's like Fisk speaking at one in his honor. They have keep up appearances. Fisk doesn't want the world to know he's a villain on top of being one of the world's richest men and NYC's powerhouse, both financially and physically so he had to act, in the public eye like he supports the wall crawler. Like wise MJ likely knows who Fisk really is as well as some of parkers other villains (and to be fair in many other adaptations she's his "guy in the chair" supporting him behind the scenes in one way or another so it's canonical proven its possible) but it's an event in honor of her husband. She can't not be there especially now that the works knows who spider man was. So both sides put on metaphorical masks and smile to each other and the cameras
Kingpin is in the Daredevil TV show and the old Ben Affleck Daredevil movie. Michael Clarke Duncan, AKA John coffee from The Green Mile, played him
It actually makes me sad that Simone's first viewing of this perfect, amazing film was on a small screen. The sheer talent and artistry involved in making this (and the new one ... and I'm sure the next one) deserve seeing it on as big a screen as possible (I hope George saw it first in theaters). I would actually rather have both of you see the new one on a big screen - although I guess it's too late for theaters but not a large TV at least , with surround sound, if at all possible - and lose seeing your initial reaction. There are one second long parts of both films that I just don't fully understand how they were made. Absolutely my favorite Spiderman film, and even my favorite MCU film. Perfection, start to finish.
Best lines to me are "He's dragging a dead homeless body." and "He's got the bagels!", 😂
"he's got a* bagel"
a homeless corpse.
I saw the 2nd one in an Imax. It was amazing. I regret not seeing the first one in the theatre.
This is my favorite Spiderman movie. I went in with zero expectations and I was blown away by all of it.
4:07 Attention: if you see Simone out and about please DO NOT walk up and touch her shoulder. ⚠️🚫
Spider-Ham is one I've known about for some time. I actually have a copy of Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham #15, which I read growing up. Considering it recounted his origin, I know that he was a spider bitten by a radioactive Aunt May. She was a super genius scientist before, and all that transferred to Peter. When he transformed due to the bite, she lost her scientific knowledge and thought he was her nephew. His love interest is Mary Jane Water Buffalo, though he also has interest in Batty Brant (counterpart to the mainstream universe's Betty Brant). J. Jonah Jackal is the cantankerous newspaper editor, and Hobgobbler is one of his villains. The comic also had a backup story featuring the Scavengers (aka that universe's Avengers), which has Squawkeye, the Scarlet Pooch, Quacksilver, and others I forget the names of. In it, they need to face off against Kangaroo the Conqueror, and he has as his minion Ultrog (aka their Ultron). Overall, they had fun with the names.
Me and a couple buddies were watching this in theaters directly when New Years rolled over, fucking awesome experience
I saw it in the theater and it was incredible. I've never been a fan of any of the live action Spider-Man films (Toby, Andrew, or Tom) but this film floored me. Visually, emotionally, everything... just an incredible experience.
Can't wait for "Across the Spider-Verse". Saw it in the theater with my 16 year old son and goddamn it hits hard.
23:29 The "Miles Rising" shot (that's why it's upside down) may well be the most gorgeous of all time.
Good thing I'm subscribed and liked - I've been caught "a-foul" before 🤣
I was almost totally burnt out on superhero movies, but this movie and its sequel rekindled my interest in them. These movies let you experience a sense of child-like wonder as an adult.
It pains me to say the same about being burned out on comic book movies when I've ben a fan since the 80's but this movie really is proof that they can be stellar when the creators really love comics themselves.
-The Prowler in the MCU was played by Donald Glover. He referenced Miles when Peter questioned him.
-Simone, Kingpin hasn't shown up in the Spider-Man movies, BUT he has shown up in the Daredevil Netflix series as well as the Hawkeye Series on Disney.
-Kingpin is human, but he is stronger than the average human. He is advanced in martial arts. Extremely smart and clever and finds ways to outsmart his opponents.
-Spider-Ham has been around since 1983 along with a bunch of other anthropomorphic superheroes. There is one for just about every Marvel character created.
Kingpin started in Spider-Man comics, but eventually he became Daredevil's archnemesis, so that's where he appeared - the 2003(?) movie with Ben Affleck and the MCU-adjacent Netflix series.
I saw across the spiderverse in theaters earlier this year, and you are correct George, it is even more amazing on the big screen
Miles Morales was introduced in the Marvel title Ultimate Spider Man comic in August 2011. He wasn't introduced into the animated TV series until April 2012. Just FYI. And the Toby Mcguire Spider Man was the first one to have organic web shooters, in the original comic, Peter Parker created his, along with the web fluid. As to this movie hitting you right in the feels, situation normal for Spidey. One of the themes that constantly run through the comics, is Peter's constantly having to try to balance between being Peter Parker and Spider Man, and sometimes failing at both. I've never read any of the Miles comics but I've heard amazing things about them. Also, I thought that this movie ROCKED! Glad that you both reacted to it!
You mention how Spiderman's eyes on his mask reflect his emotions. I love how Spider-Ham's nostrils on his snout reflect the same emotions.
I dont think I've seen a single reaction where they catch that blonde Peter identifies the Prowler by name like right when he shows up. It's like they only start listening to the dialogue of that fight on "are you mad at me, feels like you're mad at me."
At the end we have Miguel O'Hara, Spider-man from the Spider-man 2099 series of the '90s. I really loved this series, and it was good to see Miguel on screen. Haven't been as fond of him in other series since.
30+ year comic book fan here and I was so worried about this. Also, I'm not fan of the Ultimate universe, and Miles in general, so, my hopes for this was quite low. Honestly, it's the best Spider-man movie ever made. Shockingly good.
Kingpin has appeared in live-action media before, but never as a Spidey villain. He was the baddie in the TV movie _The Trial of the Incredible Hulk_ (1989) played by John Rhys-Davies, by Michael Clark Duncan in _Daredevil_ (2003), and most recently by Vincent D'Onofrio in the _Daredevil_ Netflix series which has squirreled him into the MCU.
Two answer two of your bigger questions.
First, all of the spider people existed in universe before this movie, whether they existed in comics, mangas, TV, or whatever.
Second, King Pin's mass is pure muscle. So he is abnormal in that he has all that muscle, but his strength isn't supernatural, just extra muscles.
Yep, all the alternate Spideys including Spider-Ham and Noir have appeared in the comics. Noir had a good 4 part miniseries in the late 00s, dont think hes had a long running title tho.
Damn it, George. I had never once thought about Peter's web being warm. Thanks for that.
We got Donald Glover as Miles' uncle in Spiderman homecoming. He's the guy that got webbed to the car and his ice-cream melted.. Donald glover did a comedy show where he talked about how social media blew up demanding him to be Miles since he's "black and nerdy", so if you didn't quite know that you wouldn't of known who he was supposed to be when he says he "has a nephew that lives around here"
It's a little interesting that Peter Parker explains his background at the beginning and says "...you know the rest", but he isn't from our familiar version of marvel understanding. He is in an alternate universe. Peter B. Parker is from the one we understand.
I love that what horrifies everyone the most in this movie is always Liv's desktop.
I actually had some Spider-Ham comics when I was a kid. Loved 'em and was thrilled to see him show up here. Noir was the best though.
"They run out of threats then reset."
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works!
Miles hasn't really been mentioned in the MCU yet, but the character Donald Glover played in Homecoming is credited as Aaron Davis, Miles's uncle.
This movie was one of THE best marvel movies that came out back in 2018. The art style, the way it was filmed and the music track was PERFECT.
So happy I live in this universe where George and simone are youtubers ❤🖤
Fun facts:
Miles has a special framerate trough the movie.
Until he accepts his powers, he runs at 12 FPS, and after that, he goes double like all the other Spider-People.
When the collider "explodes", you can see the other Spider-People be launched trough the city.
After the accident that broke the USB, Miles starts to keep his shoes tied.
Peni's mouth is only synched with what she says in the Japanese dub.
Miles was mentioned on Spiderman Homecoming, the guy that Spiderman left his hand stick on the car was Uncle Aaron and he ended calling Miles to told him that he's going to be late
Spiderman Noir its a canon character, he also was a playable character on the game Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, and Spider Ham appears at the ending of that game too
Kingpin was the main villain in the Netflix Daredevil show. A great performance by Vincent D'Onofrio.
For all that people talk about the animation style and the humor of this movie, both absolutely deserved, the scene where Miles is tied to a chair and his (step) dad opens up about why he treats him the way he does is the best scene in the whole damn movie. It is perhaps the perfect depiction of fatherly love, it is heartbreaking and uplifting all at once… words that feel important to hear and more important to say. “I see this spark in you, it’s amazing… but it’s yours, and whatever you decide to do with it, you’ll be great. Look, call me when you can. I love you Miles… you don’t have to say it back though…”
there was also Electro's comment in No Way Home that when he saw Peter's face he said " no offense i thought you'd be black" refering to Miles
Kingpin is in the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie, the Daredevil Netflix series (which now isn't on Netflix), and an MCU series.
The Earths each Spider-Person is from:
Earth-1610: Miles and Blonde Peter's earth the universe where this whole film takes place in also known as the Ultimate universe.
Earth-616: Peter B.Parker aka Fat Peter's universe, 616 is the Main Marvel universe and is considered to be the one where all the Canonical storylines take place.
Earth-65: the universe where an alternate Gwen Stacy gets Spider Powers and doesn't get killed by Green Goblin unlike other Gwen Stacys, she became Spider-Gwen/Spider-Woman and then later the second Ghost-Spider.
Earth-90214: Spider-Man Noir's universe, it's a black and white universe based on the 1930s.
Earth-14512: Peni Parker aka SP//dr's universe, it's basically Spider-Man meets Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Earth-8311: Peter Porker's universe, it's filled with anthropomorphic animals and runs on Cartoon Physics, it's the universe where Iron Man is a mouse and the Hulk is a green Bunny.
Earth-928: Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099's universe, Basically it's Earth-616 but in the year 2099 however it also weirdly counts as a alternate universe.
Earth-67: 60s Spider-Man's earth, based on the 60s cartoon.
Aside from the last one aka 60s Spider-Man all of these other ones have their own comic series.
Trivia: Penni Parker was created for the Spider-Verse comic event by Gerard Way, the vocalist of My Chemical Romance, ha was even in the comic when spide-ham went to recruit her, the tone of the comic and Penni are more serious and the design of the robot is very different, still I love how the used her in this movie ❤
I remember seeing this for the first time in a cinema in 3D and having my mind absolutely blown. The 3D really adds a level of depth to this movie that makes it almost a completely different viewing experience to regular 2D. Just a beautifully crafted movie. Across The Spider-verse is just as beautiful and I’m very much looking forward to Beyond The Spider-verse!
Fun little callback Aunt May calls her Liv instead of Doc Ock. That means they are friends in this universe
In Spider-Man homecoming, Donald Glover plays Aaron (the prowler) and mentions his nephew Miles. That’s the only mention of him so far as I can tell in the MCU
Kingpin is in the Hawkeye Disney+ show and the Daredevil netflix show, but not in any Marvel movie yet.
The secone butt ropes comment had me dying. Love your reactions!
I’ll touch your shoulder Simone, respectfully of course. ❤
Love your reactions 👍🏾
I understand that the movie is already streaming but that there are already people reacting and profiting just by watching it and on top of that they give you the option to watch it without filters with their "reaction" if you pay on patreon, incredible
