Its truly amazing. I’ve seen the movie a few times, lots of comments , and also a few video essays, and yet had never seen this mentioned. This movie never ceases to amaze. Never stops giving
In a lot of scenes Miles sees what's around him and copies it You can even see it in ATSV when Miles and Gwen swing across the city while she's explaining the Spider society
@@ahmed4363 kids a great learner, he even listens to hobie's advice to use his palms next time. Speaking of hobie, love the guy, his ability to read the room as well as observing other is incredible. Guy took a second to look at miles when he was trying to drain the forcefield and realised what miles power could be, then took a second to give him helpful advice after he went and bash through the forcefield. Dude's also a genius than people give him credit for, he made his own watch to travel through dimensions and specifically made one for gwen because he figured she might get booted as well as her watch being deactivated like a banned twitter acc.
I think an incredibly underrated part of the leap of faith sequence is just how it shows Miles improvising a lot in his swing and run. There’s a part where he shoots a web like he’s going to swing, but it doesn’t attach to anything. But instead of overthinking it, he just continues in running like it never happened and just swings onto something else, showing that he’s finally not overthinking things and just letting himself live in the moment
I still can’t believe the 2nd one was able to keep this momentum and take it up a notch. This movie gave them the confidence to make this second one and man it shows… it was the best movie I’ve seen in such a long time!!!!
personally, having watched the second movie twice, I found myself underwhelmed. like there were so many amazing thing I loved about it but I think the pacing was off to me because there were so many moments that seemed like climaxes but they weren't the climax, and the climax is the cliffhanger we are left at. I genuinely love the end of across the spiderverse and the uncanny atmosphere thats present when they realise what's happening (to avoid spoilers). and I love everything that happens in the movie, but to me -- I think the second movie MUST be watched with the third, at least for me. like it could be my bad memory showing, but just how much gets resolved here? but here's the thing. it makes me so EXCITED for the third movie. It will absolutely be the perfect ending to the trilogy and I'm so glad they are releasing it next year
The visuals were so influential in the animation world, The plot had love and understanding of Spider-Man as a character and the soundtrack was sensational. I can’t think of any better animated or superhero film that has this level of quality.
@@pandagamer-hg5be Fucking facts. Across The Spiderverse is a huge evolution from the first and an improvement in every way. Still got mad love for Into The Spiderverse, tho.
One thing I like is how the latin american characters actually speak spanish. Its nice to have diversity like that, and it makes the characters more realistic as well
SPOILERS FOR ACROSS THE SPIDER VERSE I loved how you talked about Miles’ impact on Peter B, seeing as how this relationship is brought back up in across the spiderverse. I’ve heard people say how this movie flips the traditional mentor dynamic by having Peter not entirely sure how to best help miles. Not only does this make Miles’ moment of self discovery more powerful since he had to do it himself, it also shows how seeing miles come into his own helped Peter recapture the spark that he lost. Miles didn’t need Peter as a father figure. Peter needed miles as a son figure. And he even says this in the next movie, when he says how he wouldn’t have had Mayday if it hadn’t been for him. (It’s also a little funny that, between miles, Gwen, and peter b, peter is the one with the best work life balance and stable family)
Well, Peter B. has been at it a while longer, it probably didn’t take too long for him to get back into the swing of things after Miles gave him the push. And even still, there is that scene of him and MJ where he admits to still feeling nervous about all of it.
It's amazing how the next movie radiates what the previous movie has influence miles into this power house that he is. Even though he himself is starting to feel the spider man struggle, when he finally gets face face with his supposedly destiny miles realising this whole spider man suffering bit is stupid, and idk about you, but that feels like a straight up criticism with how marvel has been doing spider for so long making him struggle and suffer through hell no matter what. Miles is the voice that says "enough is enough, screw your canon" he's literally forging a happy ending for himself and building an example that no spider man across the spiderverse should ever think their suffering is normal, they must fight against it, and do what they set out to do, the right thing.
Dude, even your analysis of that movie almost got me teary-eyed. That movie pulls your heartstrings in a way only a good Spiderman story can. Thanks for reminding me why we all love this movie
A lot of people get upset about Miles being more in the spotlight as of recent(Marvels Spiderman game and The Spider verse movies) but Mile will always be a celebration of Peter. It warms my heart to see Peter guide Miles down his path to becoming a hero. It just shows us how much Peter has grown and how much hes learned over the past years. Miles is probably my favorite legacy character and his dynamic with Peter is probably the best thing we've seen in Spiderman media in a long time.
@@IronheartvsMiles these are both true. Miles is his own character and is incredible on that respect. But from a conceptual standpoint is a celebration of Peter, Spiderman, and the mythos around the two, he's the best of Peter's Spiderman with a dash of his own flair to push it further beyond
Pardons for the off topic turn here, but I hope people see how great both and a lot of these different heroes are on their own terms like we should look at Jay, Barry, Wally, Bart and the other speedsters in the DC universe as written by guys like Mark Waid and in other titles like JLA, JLE, and Impulse.
I think artistically this style does add a lot more flare to its scenes and its much more vibrant. But animation wise and how it's storyboarded I kinda like the first one better tbh

With so many people saying that Across the Spiderverse is better than the first, this video really highlights that both movies are in a league of their own. So excited for the finale!
Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse are amazing Spider-Man films and definitely spectacular animated feature films. Can’t for Beyond the Spider-Verse, then we will have one of the best trilogies ever made in cinema.
I agree, both Into The Spider-Verse and Across The Spider-Verse are perfect, I hope Beyond The Spider-Verse is also perfect like the other two, and I also hope that the trilogy curse doesn't kick in-
I hold this movie so incredibly close to my heart! I remember seeing the first teaser trailed in December 2017 and eagerly showing it to my sisters - I saw it opening day a year later, and it only reinforced all the reasons why I want to be an animator. It’s just one big love letter to animation and Spider-Man! :D
I did not realize the trailer released on that day because i did not see the trailer i did not want to be spoiled and i really just wanted to see a movie and it was a great one i took that leap of faith and it did it and anyone can take a leap of faith
I remember I never heard of it when it came out and I saw some trailer at the cinema and thought the animation look kinda laggy but I give it a chance anyway. It blew my mind like by far I never seen an animation like this and with perfect story and score. I watched it twice back to back that day.
This movie and analysis especially the part where you talk about animation not being photorealistic speaks to so much plight artists face. As an artist myself and especially with the new craze of AI art, it’s so clear that a lot of people don’t take animation seriously. It’s always seen as a lesser art form. It’s for kids or it’s to juvenile, or so easy that you’d rather see a soulless robot pump out it’s stolen anime art than see an actual human making it. You see big studios cut animation budgets. But into the spiderverse is such a love letter to all forms of art. 2D and 3D. Writing, and music. It’s explicitly Human and a perfect love letter to the industry. No AI could have done this and the movie benefits so much from being animated. It leans into its comic book roots rather than hating and spending its time apologizing for being animated like many photorealistic anims are forced to. It’s truly one of the best and most effortfull sequel I have ever seen and has so much personality and representation. I hope that more animated films like this are given the budget time and love they deserve. Into the spiderverse is only the start of what animated films and comic adaptations are able to do. And I hope more people realize that art like this is made without AI.
Love how every Spider is Showcased in their own uniqueness, right down to their comic style, vibrant color schemes that both respect and honor them! Proud to see all my faves together!❤
One of my favorite moments of symmetry in the movie. When Miles buys the Spider-man costume from Stan Lee he asks "What if it doesn't fit" displaying his trepidation over taking up the responsibility of Spider-man, "What if I'm not ready?". Stan replies "It always fits, eventually" seemingly as a joke but really its an assurance "You'll be ready, eventually." When Miles is assembling his suit at the end, May puts on the web shooters on Miles and says "See? Fits perfectly", or more accurately "See? You're ready." I love this movie
@Sqwivig , it hadn't revolutionized animation, it's shown that it's okay to mimick stop-motion animation with 3D CGI with cell shades. It looks cheap and incomplete.
@@marcoparada6652 tastes are tastes i guess but bud. man. just bc it isn't hyper-realistic like disney and pixar films have us accustomed to doesn't mean it's incomplete or even looks like it?? did you see a different movie than the rest of us? it's honestly one of the most visually fun and artistic animated movies to come out in a long while.
From the animation, to the plot, to the musical motifs, this movie is no doubt, one of the best movies to grace the big screen, and the best animated film hands downnnn.
Let’s calm down there buddy 😂 the godfather trilogy . Donnie brasco . Lotr trilogy. Toy Story trilogy. Og Star Wars trilogy . Prequel Star Wars trilogy , Batman trilogy , etc 😂
What I love about the leap of faith scene is how it parallels everything he’s done from earlier. Swinging from the pole instead of falling on it, running across a window instead of tumbling across it, and the leap across the roof instead of tripping and falling. Every movement is redone with confidence, with competence, and with character.
I actually watched this movie twice within a 3 day period before seeing Across the Spider-Verse and even with as many times as I've seen Into the Spider-Verse, it's just as good everytime.
Rewatched this movie last night on my 4K TV. Somehow manages to look even more beautiful than I remembered. My anticipation for ATSV grows exponentially with each passing second
It's not as good as ITSV, but it's still a great movie and better than I expected. Do be aware, it is part 1. Don't expect the movie to wrap up its plots. Pros: Great visuals Great music Cons: The moments in this movie didn't hit as hard as some of the ones in the original
I rewatched this afternoon after seeing the sequel. Yes, it's still a perfect movie. The moment Miles discovers his Uncle is The Prowler and the music kicks in is still my favorite scene. Well done!
Literally just saw Across the Spiderverse today and MAN the animation, action, and twists were insane I don’t know anything about Spider-Man outside of your videos but I’m glad I saw into the Spiderverse and saw the sequel today. I have a much greater appreciation for Spider-Man because of these movies and your channel :)
thank you for PERFECTLY capturing why i ADORE this movie so much i literally get a huge rush of emotions whenever i think about it. i do wish you would of highlighted the mirroring of miles’ first attempt of jumping from building to building to his leap of faith swing. when he’s attempting, he falls multiple times and the letters “ahhhh” follow him as he falls down. later during his leap of faith, he’s jumping off multiple different items upwards while the letters “woooohooo” follow him up. it’s such a small detail but brings out so much joy from me. it reminds u that spidey inspires so much hope and why his story is so beloved by so many also LOVED that you pointed out that miles mirrored his spidey when leaping forward at the end of the film beyond (pun intended) for your across the spider-verse video
For me the best moment is Doc Oc's "Spiderman..?" Because it's the FIRST time someone acknowledges what Miles has become. It gives me goosebumps to hear it
I'm a 61 year old man who is about 2 months older than Spiderman (I was born in May, he was first published in August, 1962). We grew up together. So, I was very apprehensive when Miles Morales took over the tights. Its smelled of more modern recasting of traditional heroes. Then I saw the first movie, and I was completely blown away. Miles is more Spiderman than any cartoon/movie version I'd seen before. Visually, the movie was so stunning it made my eyes hurt. When I heard of the second movie, I was "Don't Screw This Up." And, they didn't. The 2nd movie is every bit the story of Miles/Spiderman and it's every bit as visually stunning as the first. The visuals completely underline the emotional content. To address some of the criticisms I've heard: Does Gwen's story occupy to much screen time? No, she's an interesting character in her own right and her arc compliments Miles'. Are there to many characters? Maybe, Jessica Drew could probably have been done without. But, her character allows the delayed introduction of Miguel O'Hara, which increases his dramatic impact. Is there to much going on, on screen? I'm afraid the answer is, yes. There were certain scenes where there was so much going in the background that I had to decide if I was going to pay attention to it, or the narrative. Rather an embarrassment of riches, so to speak.Is The cliffhanger felt like a cheat. Not to me it didn't. I was exhausted by the end of the movie and needed to absorb all I'd seen.
Playing a tiny role in the creation of this film is still one of my proudest accomplishments, and seeing a pre-screening of it with all the good people at SPI will probably always be my favourite movie-going experience. Amazing visuals and soundtrack, backed by a solid and touching story - what more could you ask for? Watching 'Across The Spiderverse' made me wish I still worked there.
I Saw This Movie On Opening Night On My Birthday. The Theater Was Mostly Empty,and I Was Sitting In the Front Row,So It Felt Like I Was Super Close To the Action. That Was the Best Birthday Ever.
An important thing thats even said in the directors commentary of the first movie is that miles didnt want to become spiderman he never wanted anything to do with that. I think thats important because it just adds to this fear of expectations getting forced into this position, being obligated to deal with these responsabilities just forces him to comfront the expectations set on him... a leap of faith into believing he´s capable of having all of that in his shoulders and SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND MOVIE I think that ties in perfectly with the themes of the second movie, that acceptance of who he is now might be taken away or worse he wasnt ever supposed to have all of that be part of his identity
Very true however we also get a sort of odd moment though as Miles confronts you know who he doesn’t seem phased after awhile. Even though you know who says you know what I still think Miles belongs in that role and was chosen by a twist of his own canon events. He lost his uncle and his timelines original spider man. 🥴
Miles is not some anomaly he is the answer to the problem that you know who thinks he’s stopping. His impact on other Spider Folks reminds me of Hobie who like Miles wants to and will define his own path.
@@IamRocque that was kind of hard to get hahaha but idk if i agree i think the final point of all these movies is that there is no destiny youre not meant to be spider man or anything else. What makes you spiderman isnt any of the canon events, not even being bitten (i mean look at peni or miguel) what makes you spiderman is the fact you have power and what you decide to do with that. So even you know who couldve become spiderman without being bitten
God damn, this movie is so- well, spectacular, haha. I've watched it dozens of times and there's still stuff you pointed out that I missed, like the spider bite paralleling the school lottery, or Miles climbing the collider just like his Peter, or the way Gwen sees Peter B. Just incredible.
4:18 One thing that I didn't notice until rewatching it for the twelfth time yesterday is that the song that plays over the car ride, "Memories" by Thutmose, cuts off the lyrics right before the verse "Why won't you love me now?". I know I'm not the first to realize it, but holy shit did they pack this movie with detail...
I'll never forget seeing Into the Spider-Verse opening night and the feeling that came over me as I watched it become my favorite movie in real time. I've thought about every day since then.
Just the thing with this movie is, Miles gets the full understanding of how to be spider man instead of just getting bitten then just "Oh spidey powers now!" then save the world, it's just realizing you can be Spider man, without being bitten, you can be Spider man, but in your own unique way of being a hero. Fantastic Movie, Fantastic animating, Fantastic storytelling, Absolute blown my eyes off. 👏😢
Beautiful video!! I absolutely loved your editing, the writing, the music, and the message at the end which left me feeling good and felt almost like a story arc wrapping up the whole video amazingly! Now I'm going to watch your video on across the spider-verse, and I am excited to see more videos like this! Keep up the good work man!
I vividly remember seeing the first advertisements for itspiderverse and just being so excited. The Amazing Spiderman movies were the last ones i really felt like got what peter was and is and where Miles deviates from that.. Yes every spiderman has a number of connections, but the idea of a spiderman receiving the support they need to be a hero /directly/ when they are new, its so good. The understanding of how spiderman is just. Living on those leap of faith moments for the sake of everyone EVERYONE that relies on him. You can’t always know. Miles is an amazing spiderman, after marvel used chunks of his base story for the MCU reboot, i was worried they'd turn away from him so im glad Sony has given him this. Plus how they use these characters' conclusions so well. I need to scream over it
My favorite line is “she wanted kids. That scares me” it’s not that Peter doesn’t want kids, he does. But he can’t, because he doesn’t want them to be hurt
this movie will always have a special little place in my heart, that not even the second movie can top. I just have this overwhelming love for miles learning to become spiderman and although across the spiderverse is STELLAR and amazing I think this movie has just a slight bit more charm.
The "whats up danger" scene is great when watched by itself, but when you finally get there after watching the rest of the movie building up to it.....its incredible!
I watch SITSW so many times and didn't even realize that Miles and Peter swing up to the top of the collider the same way, so many set up and pay off in this movie.
I bought into the spiderverse so I could always watch it when I want to regardless of streaming platforms taking stuff down, and I am SO excited for across the spiderverse
In my opinion, the one scene that truly elevates the movie and nakes it stand out above anything else is the scene where Mile's father talks to him outside of the dorm room. There's no arguing, no muffled noises from Miles trying to get hus father to help him, just a father pouring his heart out and telling his son just how much he really does love and care about his son. It's seriously up there on the same level of quality as the Holding Out for a Hero scene in Shrek 2 or the Po Finds the Truth scene in Kung Fu Panda 2
Something really interesting you didn't mention is when Peter and Miles first connect through spider sense, Miles colors change from the Prowlers colors to Spider-man colors. He wasn't supposed to become Spider-man, but in this moment he escaped his fate as the Prowler and became Spider-man.
It never occurred to me that the whole time Gwen had to deal with Peter B and the fact that her own Peter never got to become an adult. Just another layer of heartbreak to an already tragic story.
11:56 this _"we are the only ones who do understand"_ was always a bit weird for me... because all of their lost loved ones were actual good people. Miles Uncle on the other hand tried to kill him and only stopped because he revealed his identity. Sure it was the moment of losing your loved one, but Miles doesn't only have to deal with the _it's my fault_ -line, but also with the fact that his Uncle tried to kill him. Helped killing Spider-Man. And would have killed any other kid. He has to deal with the knowledge that the Uncle he loves, is also a murderer and Supervillain, who was killed by another supervillain, when he hesitated. I don't think they could truly undertsand what was going on inside his head.
This is such a wonderful breakdown of what makes this movie so great. Obviously Across TSV is on a whole other level technically, but until we see part 3, the full satisfying arc of the first film still wins me over.
Someone else told me that the glass shattering when Miles jumps off the building for the first time is because he didn’t let go of the surface cuz he was scared, but jumped anyway
I did it as a double feature (I’ve seen the first one so many times bc it’s just perfection to me & I have so much love for the movie) but I wanted to watch the first one right before catching Across the Spiderverse & BABY……Did we as fans get a hell of a treat! The story, the voice acting, the music & THE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION!! Idk how but they managed to outdo the last one, Gwen’s universe looking like the watercolors from her comic books…chefs kiss 🤌 I loved it & for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet GO WATCH IT NOW YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! ❤🕷️🕸️❣️🕸️🕷️❤
This is the greatest American animated film of the century with the sequel a very close second. The sequel was the first film I saw in a theater in four years,
Dude amazing work here, just highlights of why this film is so amazing............and now also THE SEQUEL, because so how, the mad geniuses of Lord and Miller honor Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby once again with Across the Spiderverse.....I absolutely love both films, equally and I hardly now can't wait for part 3........BEYOND THE SPIDERVERSE.
Funny how your vid just gave me a new appreciation for this movie the way you connect or noticed all the things this movie does... so I gotta ask did you notice all for yourself or did you do some research?? Amazing video btw!!!
That detail about Miles copying his universe's Peter in the collider room is perfection. 100/100 movie

I agree, both Into The Spider-Verse and Across The Spider-Verse are perfect, I hope Beyond The Spider-Verse is also perfect like the other two, and I also hope that the trilogy curse doesn't kick in-
@@ogbee9690 I wouldn’t say Lord of the rings, but it would definitely be great
I hold this movie so incredibly close to my heart! I remember seeing the first teaser trailed in December 2017 and eagerly showing it to my sisters - I saw it opening day a year later, and it only reinforced all the reasons why I want to be an animator. It’s just one big love letter to animation and Spider-Man! :D
I did not realize the trailer released on that day because i did not see the trailer i did not want to be spoiled and i really just wanted to see a movie and it was a great one i took that leap of faith and it did it and anyone can take a leap of faith
I remember I never heard of it when it came out and I saw some trailer at the cinema and thought the animation look kinda laggy but I give it a chance anyway. It blew my mind like by far I never seen an animation like this and with perfect story and score. I watched it twice back to back that day.
This movie and analysis especially the part where you talk about animation not being photorealistic speaks to so much plight artists face. As an artist myself and especially with the new craze of AI art, it’s so clear that a lot of people don’t take animation seriously. It’s always seen as a lesser art form. It’s for kids or it’s to juvenile, or so easy that you’d rather see a soulless robot pump out it’s stolen anime art than see an actual human making it. You see big studios cut animation budgets. But into the spiderverse is such a love letter to all forms of art. 2D and 3D. Writing, and music. It’s explicitly Human and a perfect love letter to the industry. No AI could have done this and the movie benefits so much from being animated. It leans into its comic book roots rather than hating and spending its time apologizing for being animated like many photorealistic anims are forced to. It’s truly one of the best and most effortfull sequel I have ever seen and has so much personality and representation. I hope that more animated films like this are given the budget time and love they deserve. Into the spiderverse is only the start of what animated films and comic adaptations are able to do. And I hope more people realize that art like this is made without AI.
Love how every Spider is Showcased in their own uniqueness, right down to their comic style, vibrant color schemes that both respect and honor them! Proud to see all my faves together!❤
One of my favorite moments of symmetry in the movie. When Miles buys the Spider-man costume from Stan Lee he asks "What if it doesn't fit" displaying his trepidation over taking up the responsibility of Spider-man, "What if I'm not ready?". Stan replies "It always fits, eventually" seemingly as a joke but really its an assurance "You'll be ready, eventually." When Miles is assembling his suit at the end, May puts on the web shooters on Miles and says "See? Fits perfectly", or more accurately "See? You're ready." I love this movie
Along with Into the Spider-Verse being so good, it also seems to be sorta influential for some animated movies, like that new TMNT movie coming out.
SORT OF influential? Bro, Spiderverse REVOLUTIONIZED 3D animation!
@Sqwivig , it hadn't revolutionized animation, it's shown that it's okay to mimick stop-motion animation with 3D CGI with cell shades. It looks cheap and incomplete.
@@marcoparada6652 I'm going to eat your spinal cord fluid.
@@marcoparada6652 tastes are tastes i guess but bud. man. just bc it isn't hyper-realistic like disney and pixar films have us accustomed to doesn't mean it's incomplete or even looks like it?? did you see a different movie than the rest of us? it's honestly one of the most visually fun and artistic animated movies to come out in a long while.
@@marcoparada6652 its quite clear you have no idea what yu are talking about
I'm gonna be honest. The line "I love you. You don't have to say it back, though" will never NOT be an emotional gutpunch.
The Stan Lee bit is even better meta textually because it’s the last cameo Stan did before he died. It’s like a little hidden love letter to fans.
From the animation, to the plot, to the musical motifs, this movie is no doubt, one of the best movies to grace the big screen, and the best animated film hands downnnn.
What about the LEGO Movie?
Let’s calm down there buddy 😂 the godfather trilogy . Donnie brasco . Lotr trilogy. Toy Story trilogy. Og Star Wars trilogy . Prequel Star Wars trilogy , Batman trilogy , etc 😂
What I love about the leap of faith scene is how it parallels everything he’s done from earlier. Swinging from the pole instead of falling on it, running across a window instead of tumbling across it, and the leap across the roof instead of tripping and falling. Every movement is redone with confidence, with competence, and with character.
Damn dude, you really hit home for why this movie is so good. This is definitely one of my favorites of your video essays
I actually watched this movie twice within a 3 day period before seeing Across the Spider-Verse and even with as many times as I've seen Into the Spider-Verse, it's just as good everytime.
I’m going through some family stuff right now, and this video really echoed in me and brought me to tears. Thank you, J2C.
Rewatched this movie last night on my 4K TV. Somehow manages to look even more beautiful than I remembered. My anticipation for ATSV grows exponentially with each passing second
It lives up to expectations and out does ITSV
@@casualuser5527 I hope this time, they stop being cowards and introduce Spidey's greatest nemesis Big Wheel
@@dalfin9286 The Big Wheel with this animation would be so awesome.
It's not as good as ITSV, but it's still a great movie and better than I expected. Do be aware, it is part 1. Don't expect the movie to wrap up its plots.
Pros:
Great visuals
Great music
Cons:
The moments in this movie didn't hit as hard as some of the ones in the original
I rewatched this afternoon after seeing the sequel. Yes, it's still a perfect movie.
The moment Miles discovers his Uncle is The Prowler and the music kicks in is still my favorite scene. Well done!
Literally just saw Across the Spiderverse today and MAN the animation, action, and twists were insane
I don’t know anything about Spider-Man outside of your videos but I’m glad I saw into the Spiderverse and saw the sequel today. I have a much greater appreciation for Spider-Man because of these movies and your channel :)
thank you for PERFECTLY capturing why i ADORE this movie so much
i literally get a huge rush of emotions whenever i think about it. i do wish you would of highlighted the mirroring of miles’ first attempt of jumping from building to building to his leap of faith swing. when he’s attempting, he falls multiple times and the letters “ahhhh” follow him as he falls down. later during his leap of faith, he’s jumping off multiple different items upwards while the letters “woooohooo” follow him up. it’s such a small detail but brings out so much joy from me. it reminds u that spidey inspires so much hope and why his story is so beloved by so many
also LOVED that you pointed out that miles mirrored his spidey when leaping forward at the end of the film
beyond (pun intended) for your across the spider-verse video
I just saw Across the Spider-Verse today, and it was freakin' awesome. I loved it almost as much as the first film. I need part 2 NOW!
Miles and Gwen are written so well together in ATSV. I love how they always thinking about each other because they are lonely.
For me the best moment is Doc Oc's "Spiderman..?" Because it's the FIRST time someone acknowledges what Miles has become. It gives me goosebumps to hear it
I'm a 61 year old man who is about 2 months older than Spiderman (I was born in May, he was first published in August, 1962). We grew up together. So, I was very apprehensive when Miles Morales took over the tights. Its smelled of more modern recasting of traditional heroes.
Then I saw the first movie, and I was completely blown away. Miles is more Spiderman than any cartoon/movie version I'd seen before. Visually, the movie was so stunning it made my eyes hurt.
When I heard of the second movie, I was "Don't Screw This Up."
And, they didn't. The 2nd movie is every bit the story of Miles/Spiderman and it's every bit as visually stunning as the first. The visuals completely underline the emotional content.
To address some of the criticisms I've heard:
Does Gwen's story occupy to much screen time? No, she's an interesting character in her own right and her arc compliments Miles'.
Are there to many characters?
Maybe, Jessica Drew could probably have been done without. But, her character allows the delayed introduction of Miguel O'Hara, which increases his dramatic impact.
Is there to much going on, on screen?
I'm afraid the answer is, yes. There were certain scenes where there was so much going in the background that I had to decide if I was going to pay attention to it, or the narrative. Rather an embarrassment of riches, so to speak.Is
The cliffhanger felt like a cheat.
Not to me it didn't. I was exhausted by the end of the movie and needed to absorb all I'd seen.
I love how likable this film has made Miles Morales, they really set the standard of how the character should be written
Playing a tiny role in the creation of this film is still one of my proudest accomplishments, and seeing a pre-screening of it with all the good people at SPI will probably always be my favourite movie-going experience. Amazing visuals and soundtrack, backed by a solid and touching story - what more could you ask for? Watching 'Across The Spiderverse' made me wish I still worked there.
No cap?
I Saw This Movie On Opening Night On My Birthday. The Theater Was Mostly Empty,and I Was Sitting In the Front Row,So It Felt Like I Was Super Close To the Action. That Was the Best Birthday Ever.
An important thing thats even said in the directors commentary of the first movie is that miles didnt want to become spiderman he never wanted anything to do with that. I think thats important because it just adds to this fear of expectations getting forced into this position, being obligated to deal with these responsabilities just forces him to comfront the expectations set on him... a leap of faith into believing he´s capable of having all of that in his shoulders and
SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND MOVIE
I think that ties in perfectly with the themes of the second movie, that acceptance of who he is now might be taken away or worse he wasnt ever supposed to have all of that be part of his identity
Very true however we also get a sort of odd moment though as Miles confronts you know who he doesn’t seem phased after awhile. Even though you know who says you know what I still think Miles belongs in that role and was chosen by a twist of his own canon events. He lost his uncle and his timelines original spider man. 🥴
Miles is not some anomaly he is the answer to the problem that you know who thinks he’s stopping. His impact on other Spider Folks reminds me of Hobie who like Miles wants to and will define his own path.
@@IamRocque that was kind of hard to get hahaha but idk if i agree i think the final point of all these movies is that there is no destiny youre not meant to be spider man or anything else. What makes you spiderman isnt any of the canon events, not even being bitten (i mean look at peni or miguel) what makes you spiderman is the fact you have power and what you decide to do with that. So even you know who couldve become spiderman without being bitten
Yet despite this, he rose to the challenge and used his powers for good instead of evil. This contrasts him with Prowler Miles.
God damn, this movie is so- well, spectacular, haha. I've watched it dozens of times and there's still stuff you pointed out that I missed, like the spider bite paralleling the school lottery, or Miles climbing the collider just like his Peter, or the way Gwen sees Peter B. Just incredible.
4:18 One thing that I didn't notice until rewatching it for the twelfth time yesterday is that the song that plays over the car ride, "Memories" by Thutmose, cuts off the lyrics right before the verse "Why won't you love me now?". I know I'm not the first to realize it, but holy shit did they pack this movie with detail...
I love the 2 Spiderverse movies, so many good visuals. I just love it. Such a refreshing take on the media and medium.
I learned so much from your video. There were many details I didn't put together to serve their arcs. Thank YOU!
I'll never forget seeing Into the Spider-Verse opening night and the feeling that came over me as I watched it become my favorite movie in real time. I've thought about every day since then.
Oh man, I never noticed the whole thing about "you don't have to say it back though". Even 5 years after release, this movie still manages to amaze me
Just hearing you recap the plot and the themes had me tearing up. What a good movie.
Next vid: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a perfect sequel
Just the thing with this movie is, Miles gets the full understanding of how to be
spider man instead of just getting bitten then just "Oh spidey powers now!" then save the world,
it's just realizing you can be Spider man, without being bitten, you can be Spider man, but in your
own unique way of being a hero.
Fantastic Movie, Fantastic animating, Fantastic storytelling,
Absolute blown my eyes off.
👏😢
To me, the fact that this is from the studio that gave us "Open Season" and "The Emoji Movie" makes "Into the Spiderverse" that much better.
Beautiful video!! I absolutely loved your editing, the writing, the music, and the message at the end which left me feeling good and felt almost like a story arc wrapping up the whole video amazingly! Now I'm going to watch your video on across the spider-verse, and I am excited to see more videos like this! Keep up the good work man!
ending gave me goosebumps from how good this is, keep it up
I vividly remember seeing the first advertisements for itspiderverse and just being so excited. The Amazing Spiderman movies were the last ones i really felt like got what peter was and is and where Miles deviates from that.. Yes every spiderman has a number of connections, but the idea of a spiderman receiving the support they need to be a hero /directly/ when they are new, its so good. The understanding of how spiderman is just. Living on those leap of faith moments for the sake of everyone EVERYONE that relies on him. You can’t always know. Miles is an amazing spiderman, after marvel used chunks of his base story for the MCU reboot, i was worried they'd turn away from him so im glad Sony has given him this.
Plus how they use these characters' conclusions so well. I need to scream over it
Absolutely wonderful video Johnny!! Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to see you talk about Across the Spiderverse!!🥰💜💜
i was holding back tears during the entirety of this video. you perfectly encapsulated the reason i love this movie so much. thank you for that.
I hope Chris Pine’s Spider-Man comes from another universe in Beyond The Spider-Verse. I think his Spider-Man would help Miles
The most amazing thing about this movie is that it works for people who know nothing about Spider-Man 😮
Man, I’m tearing up just watching you recap this. I gotta go back and watch this movie again haha
Across the spiderverse is a step up and I can't wait for the next movie and the physical release so I can check out all the awesome easter eggs
You really think so?
My favorite line is “she wanted kids. That scares me” it’s not that Peter doesn’t want kids, he does. But he can’t, because he doesn’t want them to be hurt
that ending teared me up! loved this analysis
this movie will always have a special little place in my heart, that not even the second movie can top. I just have this overwhelming love for miles learning to become spiderman and although across the spiderverse is STELLAR and amazing I think this movie has just a slight bit more charm.
I haven’t seen Across the Spiderverse yet but I’m pumped for it.
This was a good analysis!
The "whats up danger" scene is great when watched by itself, but when you finally get there after watching the rest of the movie building up to it.....its incredible!
I watch SITSW so many times and didn't even realize that Miles and Peter swing up to the top of the collider the same way, so many set up and pay off in this movie.
great commentary! looking forward to across the spiderverse vid!
Spider-Ham snd Peni Parker are my favorite and a beaitiful tribute to both Stan Lee and Steve Ditko
It’s official. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Across the Spiderverse are the BEST AND PERFECT SEQUELS.
Great watch! This shows every point why I prefer into the spiderverse over across the spider verse
Johnny it’s 9am and you got me bawling 😭😭 great video as always
I bought into the spiderverse so I could always watch it when I want to regardless of streaming platforms taking stuff down, and I am SO excited for across the spiderverse
In my opinion, the one scene that truly elevates the movie and nakes it stand out above anything else is the scene where Mile's father talks to him outside of the dorm room. There's no arguing, no muffled noises from Miles trying to get hus father to help him, just a father pouring his heart out and telling his son just how much he really does love and care about his son. It's seriously up there on the same level of quality as the Holding Out for a Hero scene in Shrek 2 or the Po Finds the Truth scene in Kung Fu Panda 2
Something really interesting you didn't mention is when Peter and Miles first connect through spider sense, Miles colors change from the Prowlers colors to Spider-man colors. He wasn't supposed to become Spider-man, but in this moment he escaped his fate as the Prowler and became Spider-man.
Yeah because that’s a plot point revealed in the new movie
After the next one comes out, this may go down as the most visually stunning trilogy of all time.
Best not only in visual
Best summary ever! Gave me chills.
Damn dude you got me tearing up, fantastic breakdown truly spectacular.
I love how good of a dad Peter B is in across the spider verse
Both spiderverse films are always cherished forever 🥂🕷🕸
good breakdown of an amazing movie. All your spidey content has been fire
It never occurred to me that the whole time Gwen had to deal with Peter B and the fact that her own Peter never got to become an adult. Just another layer of heartbreak to an already tragic story.
One of the best video essays I’ve ever seen
This story is so powerful that I started tearing up just from this video 😅 Thanks for the excellent video 🕸
I haven't had the chance to watch the sequel yet. Now I am more anxious than ever
16:06 Wow!!!! Never noticed that before 🔥💪🏽🔥
11:56 this _"we are the only ones who do understand"_ was always a bit weird for me... because all of their lost loved ones were actual good people.
Miles Uncle on the other hand tried to kill him and only stopped because he revealed his identity. Sure it was the moment of losing your loved one, but Miles doesn't only have to deal with the _it's my fault_ -line, but also with the fact that his Uncle tried to kill him.
Helped killing Spider-Man.
And would have killed any other kid.
He has to deal with the knowledge that the Uncle he loves, is also a murderer and Supervillain, who was killed by another supervillain, when he hesitated.
I don't think they could truly undertsand what was going on inside his head.
This is such a wonderful breakdown of what makes this movie so great. Obviously Across TSV is on a whole other level technically, but until we see part 3, the full satisfying arc of the first film still wins me over.
Someone else told me that the glass shattering when Miles jumps off the building for the first time is because he didn’t let go of the surface cuz he was scared, but jumped anyway
Nice video man i look forward to the next video
16:09 This is genuinely crazy wtf
Litterally had me tearing up at the end
I did it as a double feature (I’ve seen the first one so many times bc it’s just perfection to me & I have so much love for the movie) but I wanted to watch the first one right before catching Across the Spiderverse & BABY……Did we as fans get a hell of a treat! The story, the voice acting, the music & THE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION!! Idk how but they managed to outdo the last one, Gwen’s universe looking like the watercolors from her comic books…chefs kiss 🤌 I loved it & for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet GO WATCH IT NOW YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
❤🕷️🕸️❣️🕸️🕷️❤
Miss ya Stan (was the last marvel movie that Stan lee cameoed in)
This is the greatest American animated film of the century with the sequel a very close second. The sequel was the first film I saw in a theater in four years,
Dude amazing work here, just highlights of why this film is so amazing............and now also THE SEQUEL, because so how, the mad geniuses of Lord and Miller honor Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby once again with Across the Spiderverse.....I absolutely love both films, equally and I hardly now can't wait for part 3........BEYOND THE SPIDERVERSE.
This video essay is a masterpiece. Kudos to the creator.
These motivation at the end is too emotional for us to take
Never doubt Lord/Miller. Never.
These guys really know what there doing
Miles is spider-man but people are saying he's just miles morales nope he is spider-man
Funny how your vid just gave me a new appreciation for this movie the way you connect or noticed all the things this movie does... so I gotta ask did you notice all for yourself or did you do some research??
Amazing video btw!!!
I've seen this movie like 15 times so this was all stuff I noticed haha, but it took a lot of rewatches to catch everything.
I was in the middle of watching this when you posted it
