Is Spider-Man 2099 the TRUE VILLAIN of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse?

No just no
Obviously not.
Anti-Hero or Anti-Villain
@@DaLuckyDogp
No
His dad took his mama’s name. A detail that’s so sweet and makes me love Jeff even more
Yeah shows it in the mural
Also bc Jefferson Davis is the name of a Confederate soldier and Miles' dad was just like ...um no thanks
Worse, he was the Confederacy President
@@xanferra STARP😭 its a good thing he took rio’s surname then. Phew.
@@seyramagudu5237i was so confused o. that reading the comics. like they couldn’t have given him any other first name
Something most people don’t notice is that in the most recent movie, Jefferson’s police badge says “Morales” showing that he switched his name too
Which makes sense since the name Jefferson Davis is tied to crime. Guess he wanted to give himself a fresh start as well.
I’ve noticed that but thought I was going crazy since no one else did!!
Yep
Right? I wondered if I'd forgotten something because I always thought Morales was his mom's last name and wondered if I'd forgotten something.
He did it in the comics officially a few years ago. He wanted to fully move on from his previous life and also he’s named after the Confederate president and that’s not very cool
Having Miles Davis as his name would just turn him into a jazz musician
you see a radioactive trumpet player bit me and now.....
@@justharry2190he played it 😂😂😂
@@justharry2190 …my bad
Me too
Ooh so that’s why he changed miles last name,not because It’s lined to mobs,it because jazz sucks (it’s a joke btw)
In the comics, Jefferson also tells miles that when he and Aaron were both kids, his dad used to abuse them heavily, and Jefferson decided to give Miles Rio's last name as a way of ending the cycle
Jefferson changed his own last name to Morales....so miles does have his dads last name lol
@@stromboliolie8762that’s not the same thing technically his dad would have miles’ last name since Jefferson had to change his name not the other way around
Holy hell that is heartbreaking...
In the comics rios mom was also super abusive
So is the Earth-42 Miles named Miles Davis???
I love miles dad so much. If everyone had a mom and dad like his, then everyone’s life would be 99% better

@@Faiyad_shortsgoofy ass 💀
I like how how in ATSV he’s called Officer MORALES himself and not Officer Davis, showing how he himself wanted to separate his present self from his past
his lastname is morales, hes married and took his wife's name. That's just how it works lmao
How did I notice that but it never clicked….
@@Apricate. it’s usually the other way round
@@techarts8938 its more likely that he took her name than some elaborate design choice relating to an element of his character which, to my memory, is briefly mentioned once.
@@techarts8938usually
In the comics Jefferson’s last name is Davis, and I remember a funny line Miles said something along the lines of “Ganke, if I took my dad’s name, I wouldn’t live it down. I’d be Miles Davis.” 😂
and i said “SO WHAT?” 😂😂
I thought Miles’ father’s name was an unfortunate coincidence, But Miles Davis? Heck yeah! I’d imagine he’d try to cook up a Witches Brew at some point
@@musictree_101but with a b where the w is
Miles’ Dad changed his name to Morales in the comics because “Jefferson Davis” will always be synonymous with a racist loser and a stupid ideology.
@@tboy10301Miles Davis was a very famous jazz musician and people would constantly notice when they met him.
That actually would make sense.
True
Morales is Miles' Mom's last name but everything else I think is true
@@Steven-jx8ctomg guys he gonna ruin 911 likes he is so funny laugh at him!!!
Y’all know it was literally said in into the spider verse 😭
The real reason is to make his first and last initials start with the same letter, like Peter Parker
In modern society, it's not unheard of for a man to take his wife's surname
Yeah, but it's still not so common. Plus, it doesn't seem that this is the case with Miles. It seems that his dad changed his name to Morales as well
@@mannythegrandfather2291that's what they said XD

Who the hell is Miles davis
In Across the Spiderverse, Jefferson actually uses the last name Morales. When he corrected Gwanda after she called him Jeff, he said "Surely you mean Lieutenant Morales, soon to be Captain Morales."
And his name tag says morales on it
i’m pretty sure he changed his last name, traditionally, a wife takes her husband’s last name, but i think he took his wife’s name.
Miles addresses him as officer morales too right at the beginning
Well to be fair, he ALSO left that life of crime behind. So I'm not shocked he changed his name.
Probably felt the heat for having a black character being named after the confederate president lmfao. Don’t know why he didn’t just already have the morales name
in an alternate universe he becomes a legendary trumpeteer and shapes the history of jazz music
Did you forget that Miles literally calls him "Officer Morales"? The reason why Miles has the last name Morales is bc his dad took his mom's last name. It's that simple
Actually his reason is right, look it up.
@@worldsdarkestthey're both right, they do refer to him as officer morales but he took Rio's last name because of the reason explained in the video
Jefferson changed his name after Miles was already born. To put it in context, Jefferson’s last name was still Davis when Into the Spider-Verse was released. It didn’t change until 2021 in the comics, thus Across the Spider-Verse changed it. Notice that his name is still Davis in the Insomniac game.
I mean, why did he take the Morales name instead of Rio taking the Davis name?
A little bit of the video, a little bit of Jeff's own dad being abusive (in certain runs)
So yeah. A mix of everything
You're the type of dude who skips to the 3rd chapter in a book and throws it out the window before claiming you know the whole story.
For a more ‘meta’ answer, Miles Davis is also the name of a famous jazz musician. It would probably make things confusing if the writers used that name
but Jefferson Davis is also the name of the president of the Confederacy, which is kinda problematic.
Miles davis jr 😅
Could've named him Timmy. Timmy Davis.
I think the real meadow reason is that how else would you know that he is also Hispanic when everybody tells him as a black Spider-Man? It's not necessarily a bad thing but I think it is a marketing thing since apparently miles was pretty basic when he first debuted? IDK but that's just my thoughts
@@FangyDoesArt Because he’s only Hispanic in that he has some Hispanic blood
He was born and raised in America, is unironically dripping with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen, and Spanish is the only class he has a non-A grade in. He isn’t even really shown to know anything about Hispanic culture
It’s like if they were to market Miguel as an Irish character when his Mexican side is the only side that gets talked about /lh
I love the wholesome relationship Miles has with his loving parents. I appreciate them showing that when you’re 14-15, you’re still very young and there’s nothing embarrassing about needing your parents for emotional support and comfort. This is especially important for black and brown kids to see, as they tend to be forced to grow up much quicker by society which push them to take on adult responsibilities much quicker than others.
Miles calls the dad "officer Morales". The dad is celebrated as "captain Morales". Also, his memorial in Earth 42 is made to "Jefferson Morales".
Yep. But if I remember right, that wasn't his name in the first movie.
yea in the first movie his name tag says Davis but in the second one it changed to Morales
@@ConnoisseurPNM It could just have to do with him choosing to still go by Davis as his career name, so he is still known as Officer Davis. And then later he finally gets his name changed in the police department.
From what I know about the government, thanks to friends and family experience with things like that, it takes time. It can take a lot too.
Also, maybe his name was Jefferson Davis-Morales.
He probably changed the name to match his family
Finally a comment that calls this guy out and is actually right
When people forget, you don't HAVE to adopt the father's surname
Yeah thats what i was thinking
That is true
But it is still a big thing in western culture
'Selfless decision' as if women haven't not passed their names to their children for centuries 😭 its not that big a deal for the dad not to
you dont choose what surname you get. No "Adopting" there. You can only choose to change it later
@@zraiarz9301yes you do dummy it's up to the parents and family the government doesn't choose you first name do they? it's normal for us of latin culture to have a matriarch that's why in encanto the are all called madrigal. Even in Jewish culture you aren't Jewish unless your mother is....only anglo saxons are strict with these rules.
Morales as a last name also means “of the mulberry tree” and mulberry trees are often symbolically associated with growth, so his last name can also be a metaphor for his growth as a character, since he is one of the Spider Men that grow a lot throughout his story.
i would think that his last name was just chosen because spiderpeople often have a very strong sense of Morals.
We should have a reality where Miles took his fathers name and is a trumpet prodigy.
So basically avoids being spiderman
This is so random i love it
Is that based on that Disney movie?
@@NataliaLidia_06No it’s not. Miles Davis
That would be great
“Imma do my own thing” sent me on my own spiral mentally, my wife looked at me and seen it, i felt it. That part hit hard.
What do u mean
@@shadowling77777that part hit hard man. This movie is goated
I can’t wait to see what other cold moments are finna be in the 3rd movie
Yeah she gonna divorce you
@@shadowling77777 it was just a cold moment, gave me goosebumps and got me excited but like a little anxious for what he was bout to do next, i knew it was bout to be the hardest shit ever
Also worth mentioning is that in Spanish speaking households, it's common to use a hyphenated or combined last name. When read like a typical english name, the first half is often excluded or pushed to the middle. Hence why the name "Miles Davis-Morales" would be shortened to "Miles Morales"
Source: someone who has a surname like this.
I would accept this over this video's BS.
I do like how he was raised semi Hispanic, his mother taught him Spanish and I'm assuming she taught him other Spanish culture. I like to think it's a subtle detail to help represent his Hispanic side by giving him a Hispanic last name.
@@vernonhampton5863 why is it BS?
don't mean to nitpick, but in LatAm culture, it would be mother surname and then father's surname, so Miles' name would probably be Miles Morales Davis
@@keiishineIt's always been father-mother in my family, at least. I've heard it both ways. I'm sure there's some sort of regional variance
Would also explain why his dad wasn't surprised his brother was The Prowler when he saw him laying there in costume. He just ran to him and thought Spiderman killed him.
he wouldnt know who the prowler was he wasnt like a supervillain LOLLLL
@@brendonslife4584Prowler was dead on the ground and unmasked when Jeff ran to him as Miles swung away. He wasn't surprised about The Prowler being his brother BECAUSE of their past lol
Imagine Rio's pleasant surprise when Jefferson decides that he and their son will be taking her last name instead of his. I imagine the pride she would feel and also the relief that she doesnt need to change her name in her IDs
"Gotta let him spread his wings, man"
-Miles Morales 😂
Ppl also tend to forget that you don’t have to take the fathers last name, even if that is the standard in a lot of places.
I have both my parents surnames, but I only really go by my dad’s last name. It feels kinda cool to have 5 names though
albus percival wulfric brian dumbledore?
Yeah i don't have either of my parents surnames lol
same they combined it to be like [mom's last name]-[dad's last name] with the hyphen in the middle.
This theory is senseless!
In the comics, Jefferson Davis shared a name with the President of the Confederate States of America. He legally changed his name partially to avoid this.
Collect names like infinity stones. Dread it, run from it.

He also would’ve been one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, so there’s that
theres one comic where Jeff takes Rio's last name so that miles doesnt have to constantly explain that his name is miles davis
The jazz singer🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥
Or simply consider that he is called miles morales davis, as it is a popular tradition to have both parents surname (and mother first) in some part of most Spanish/Portuguese speaking countries
A Mexican I dated got his mother's surname as his last name tho, and his father's as his middle name, so I thought the mother's became the surname?
@@user-wy6oq6pi8y Yeah, I realized after posting that the girl I dated had the name of her adoptive father last, so maybe she half lied cause it was too complicated.
But I do remember her mother telling me the same, so probably different culture?
Thats not it tho, miles is never called that
@@MAR-sc7np Maybe he isn't for the reasons that are in the video?
@@matril328 ye like the comics
The actual real reason miles last name is morales and not Davis is actually because of his nationality. His mother (Rio Morales) is from the country porter Rico, which is a state commonwealth with America but not an official state. In porter Rico, usually the child of the family will adopt the name of the mother. This shows that miles dad may have had the history but also wanted to follow tips tradition.
Damnnn that is some seriously cool theory, I hope it's true, it just makes his father even more pure hearted than we already thought
This isn’t a theory. It’s in the comics. It’s why Jefferson took Rio’s last name as well.
It’s not a theory it’s true
It’s also a Puerto Rican naming custom for a child to have both parents last names. So for Jefferson to say that he didn’t want miles to have his must really mean that there’s too much danger attached to the Davis name.
or.... maybe it got cut off. I have a lot of Hispanic kids at my school who have both names (moms first, as is custom) and the system cuts off their paternal name unless they hyphenate or run them together like Santiagotorres.
@@Adronitis I did not know that, that’s a good point
nah it was actually a legal/pr thing marvel did because the idea of making the first black spiderman "miles davis" like the famous jazz musician would have had looked a little racist on their part and the execs basically just said "nah we can't do that" so they just gave him the other name.
It’s a Hispanic custom, not just Puerto Rican
@@Adronitisit’s not custom to have the mom’s last name first in Spanish, just Portuguese.
That's a good dad right there 🤭
Interestingly enough, it seems Jefferson Davis’s surname was changed from Davis to Morales in _Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse._
The comics changed his name two years ago. That’s why.
@@Ren_Davis0531 I have a feeling his surname was changed because Jefferson Davis was the name of the first president of the Confederate States of America. I don’t think I need to explain why that is not a good name to have.
@@Cxsonn
That was part of it, but they also used the same reasoning that Jeff wanted Miles to be named Morales.
@@CxsonnThis is exactly why in the comics. He changed it when he got married
@@thechefnextdoorhe changed it when he got married? I remember it being after being recognized by captain america he decided to do it because Jefferson Davis was linked to his previous life.
Story aside i think the writers chose this so both spider mens names have alliteration

*M* iles *M* oralas
True it just sounds better
Not just Spider Man but a lot of Marvel Characters.
Haha PP
and that miles davis really hurts to say (maybe just me)
You mean Parallelsation
Bro that just set a whole new bunch of ideas
That actually happens a lot in married couples today, the husband gives the kids his wife's surname
You mean they both give the kids the mother's surname, together.
@@jillesjohannesbilker sometimes, depends on how the couple wants to do it. Some even give the kids BOTH surnames
@@nikkimiddlekillsday5161 Yeah, I just thought the wording was a bit strange
Honestly, I think at this point people are just picking last names based on what they think sounds better. Like, I'm sure as hell not giving my kid my last name because it'll get the shit bullied out of them lol. They're already my kid, they don't need any more reasons to get bullied.
Or maybe cuz his moms name is Rio “morales”?
Edit: dang I got clowned on 💀
The kids are supposed to take the fathers surname at birth. Thats what this videos explaining on why they gave miles the mothers instead.
@@2.3T_Candle idk man, my brother has my mother's last name (they had us when they we're married, they're not together anymore)
@@veronica3662 You don’t have to have the father’s last name but it’s generally traditional.😊
Hope this explains better
@@burritogunwhale ohh ok, thanks for explaining! :>
That and the reasons in the video.
his dad is so sweet
Miles has hispanic origin and they use last names of both parents and sometimes person is recognized by paternal, sometimes by maternal last name.
If we’re following PR tradition, his last name would be Davis-Morales
@Balmung
Puerto Ricans use both of their parents surnames. Usually just use the father’s name if they have to only use one.
Jefferson is such a good dad.
This made me realize that he would have been Miles Davis like the jazz musician
I couldve sworn they said in the comics that miles was born before his parents got married and they so he took his mother's name and then they got married when davis finally had the money for their wedding
Makes a lot more sense in hindsight
Usually if parents aren’t married the child would still take the fathers surname unless the parents choose otherwise.
Probably did happen that way in one of the incarnations, but you know comics NEVER keep the same story or reasons
@@invictafilms2690seeing that Miles is Puerto Rican he would take his moms surname
@@invictafilms2690I don’t know how often that happens in the actual states though. I have my moms last name but my sister doesn’t cuz she was born here. So I believe it depends on what the parents want and the hospital.
Also, miles Davis is an already well-known jazz composer and trumpeter.
That actually explains why in the parallel universe miles becomes the prowler.
i need a prequel with the dad and uncle causing havoc
This made me respect David even more than before
That's a "great dad" move. Also kudos to Jefferson for leaving that hard knock life and becoming a police officer that puts his family first. That's an ultimate Chad-Dad move right there
The REAL question is why the creators of the character named him Jefferson Davis
Nah fr I been tryna figure that out too
Maybe they just rlly big fans of the civil war
No black people in the writers room 💀💀💀
Also miles davis is a amazing jazz musician.
I figured they just wanted to use the wife's name. There didn't have to be a major back story behind, some people like their wife's name more than their own.
Yeah, come to think of it, if I had the same first and last name as the confederate president, I'd do the same.
U know some families just decide to take the moms name….sure it’s uncommon but not insane
100%. It’s not something that needs a canon reason IMO, because it’s a thing any family can just do if they want.
@@DakotaCityRagthat’s also true, but this is (part of) the canonical reason
It’s confirmed in comics that this is why tho
it's extremely common to do this in Hispanic cultures.
@@Dunkleosteusenjoyer thank you for making this part explicit
Worth to note that in "Into", his dad is called Jefferson Davis, but in-between movies he changed it and in "Across" he is called Jefferson Morales.
There is actually a real "miles davis" so they probably didn't want people to get the names confused
Bruh he does have the same last name as miles now. That’s why Miles (while he was Spider-Man) says “ officer morales!”
Oh snap, he _does_ doesn't he?
Yeah but it’s originally Davis
That’s a recent change. Only happened two years ago in the comics.
@@worldsdarkest Yeah i know but he’s using footage of across the spider-verse so he’s most probably talking about it
@@pinapasaurau5995 I thought he was talking about both mb
Jefferson is so underappreciated man
He is a phenomenal father
Bro made an entire theory on his surname when the easier answer was just that you don’t always have to take the father’s surname.
I'm not too versed in the comics but someone pointed out that this was a detail in the comics but it was more about Jeff's dad being abusive and him not wanting miles to carry that legacy. I don't know if its in the lore of the movie but the audio could be right
If Miles took his dads surname he would be a saxophone player
No trumpet
Does this mean miles dad is the president of the confederacy
Oop
It would also make him Miles Davis, the famous jazz trumpet player
Now even with this being true we don't always wonder stuff like this as maybe he just simply took his mother's surname and it isn't that deep. 😂
Wait… his dad…. A black dude in New York… is named JEFFERSON DAVIS?
Look the name up if you wonder why I’m freaking out about that.
Alright looked it up and your seems to be well warranted 😂😮
This is also why in the comics (and in Across the Spiderverse), even Jefferson uses the surname Morales
🤣🤣
Wait- my spidey senses are tingling...
*while searching it up* I know the name from- *result* OH MY GOD!
Did you just realize his name was Jefferson Davis? 😅
He sound like he about to laugh all the time
Jefferson actually took his wife’s last name. You can see it on his badge in Across the spider verse
I always just assumed that because it was an alternate dimension, surnames just worked differently there.
Edit: I am aware that you can take either of your parent's surnames usually, I just thought that in Mile's universe, it was traditional to take your mother's like it is traditional to take your father's surname in the real world.
Lol but in this dimention you can just... have your mom's surname. Like having the dad's surname is traditional, not mandatory
That’s what I thought too
Surnames work the same here you're not required to have your dad's surname
Yeah I read the book about it and I remember that reason! Plus it would be a bit awkward if Miles was called Miles Davis, because then he'd be the jazziest spider-man to exist lol
Damn. We’re lucky that Miles’ dad wasn’t from the 1800s or we would get a different story.
Which is one of the reasons it was changed in the comics (as well as his past in S.H.I.E.L.D.)
Miles does has a Latin mother, it’s very common in Latin culture for the child to take the mother’s last name.
Only in Brazil is the mother's last name taken first (as something common). I am from Venezuela and here the common thing is the father's last name first and the mother's last.
Example:
María Elena Gómez (Dad's last name) Rodriguez (Mom's last name)
Proceeds to follow in his dad's footsteps and associates himself will all sorts of crimes, yes.
I love this explanation. Also, in Puerto Rico when a woman gets married she keeps her last name. Their kids inherit both both last name, traditionally his name should be Miles Davis Morales. But there have been cases of people switching the order to keep a last name life.
I believe Miles full name is Miles Morales Davis (maybe a second name cause fitting)
Just rewatching the movie, his dad is Officer Morales, that means that he took his wife’s last name
Not only Puerto Rico, but most (if not all) of LatinoAmerica! :)
So do the last names just keep stacking?
@@Chadius_Thundercock hispanics names usually have the name, a middle name (optional) and then the fathers first surname followed by the mothers first surname (traditianally, now the order of the surnames can change if you want to).
And your kids follow the same formula, so only the first last name gets passed down from you
Miles calls him officer morales
He legally changed his name to Morales.
He changed in between movies his badge said morales this time
It probably just has something to do with the he doesn't want to share his name with a confederate leader
Jefferson also changed His Last Name to Morales in the Movie Continuity. Essentially leaving that life behind and intending to have a clean step forward. You can see His name tag saying "Jefferson Morales" in the scene with Miles' Principal(?)
In the new movie Miles calls him Officer Morales. He just took his wife’s name.
In the first movie he was officer Davis 😊
@@garvindean6443 Oh, really? I thought that was the case but I just assumed I’d misremembered when he said Morales in the new movie.
Okay, that's wholesome as hell, and I love it.
and he'd also have the same name as a famous jazz musician
This is actually why I’m changing my name. My dad has a hefty criminal record and I’m named after him. So to cut down on the confusion I’m changing my first, middle, and last name
If I’m being real, this might not do much for you unless your name is super unique cuz like, there would still probably be other ex criminals out there with your same last name anyways 😂
Bro his dad is just the GOAT of animated fathers.
Flint Lockwood's dad:
jeff is such a good dad to him hes so sweet i wish he was my dad
Jefferson tells Miles he has his mother's surname because Jefferson's physically abusive father was "not a good person" and not having his grandfather's name gave Miles a "clean start".
"So they adopted Miles' mom aka Rio Morales' family name."
This means that Jefferson literally gave Miles the chance to write his own story and yall best believe Miles took that chance.
One thing in insomniac spider man Mike's mom is named Rio morales and we don't hear Rios last name in the spider verse movies and that's our only hint we have for his last name
Pretty cool fact keep up the good work btw first comment yay🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I heard somewhere the real reason had something to do with them not realizing that Jefferson Davis was the same name as a famous confederate General or something like that. They had already named his dad at that point but still had time to switch Miles' surname.
Its common for hispanic families, some people prefer to not take their spouses last name, but still married, and can either one- give one of the parents last names or 2- both. Could also tie with the whole crime thing as well, I am puertorican and i have both my parents last names since my mother didn’t take my dad’s last name
Everyone watching the short:
👁️👄👁️
Me: “is that bombastic bag man!?”
In Puerto Rico everyone has their mothers last name, its the spanish naming system .
Thank god bro I’ve been so sad sense my dad passed away in 9/11, idk why it’s such a break from that horrible day
The fact that earth 42 miles is now symbolically the miles neither miles not Davis would want him to grow up as
honestly deadpool and the taxi driver are the best duo here
Tbh I just thought the mom said “yeah he’s gonna have my last name” 🤣
If he had the Davis name he would have been Jazz Spider-Man
