- So I was going to take break and then out of nowhere I just had to make this and I dropped another essay I was working on to get this out. But rest assured, I will now return to my break from the "... is beautiful" series. That is until Far From Home that is.
I'm also going back to University, so if enjoy my stuff and want to contribute to the production of more video essays, then please consider supporting me on Patreon:

"Miles learns how to be Spider-Man through somone who has forgotten how to be"
I love this film so much.
I love it too, I think it's also my favorite movies bar none ever. Took all three of my kids to see it last year a week before Christmas and was almost a transcendent experience. First time all three of my kids went to a theater and kept quite without a bathroom break. We all walked out of the theater almost glowing. Still holds up btw, I recently re-watched it and hot damn does this film still hold up.
if that someone you're talking about is spider man 616, then you're wrong. the original spider-man hasn't forgotten how to be a superhero, he still is The Amazing Spider-man. The Spider-man the people in his world still look up to, but a very down on luck Peter Parker. and that's what makes this movie so amazing. It tells a very interesting story about the new Spider-man without being disrespectful to the original.
@@derryljevon1357 No what I said still stands to me. Peter Parker is always down on his luck, the point is, is that he always gets back up. This Peter hasn't done that for a while, his marriage with MJ fell apart and he has been scared to try and move on and fix his relationship, he gets angry and dismissive when he's reminded of his Uncles vow etc. None of that is what Spidey does, he rediscovers his courage again and that's through teaching Miles and watching him grow. I think you misunderstood me, he still does all the hero stuff and I'm sure people on his earth still love him, I was talking more about how he feels internally about himself and his outlook on life.
@@DareBear2099 I went to see it on Christmas day. I had an upset stomach for a few days(later found it was good poisoning) I had to use all my strength in my body to go to the theatre with my mates and then sit there through the whole film. Worth it 3000%
wait a minute spider ham was spider
I'm black and I remember that when Miles was introduced back in 2011, I didn't give a care in the world about him because it looked like a weak attempt to throw a black character into the media. I always hated that when people say they need more diverse characters, they immediately think of a black person. After the movie came out 7 years later, Miles Morales has become my personal favorite of Spider-man; not for his race but how is was so expertly handled in the movie. One of the things that made me love Miles so much when watching Into the Spider Verse was that he is an original character of story. How? because so many black characters that are made, the story line behind the character has to fight through is always the whole fighting against discrimination and prejudice crap; that story line for black characters has been getting old. Miles' story is completely different, original, and can relate to other people.
Another thing I like about Miles in his movie, he is a hero who does not try to fight for a girl. A hero doesn't always need to have some girl in his fucking life as a prize in his hero work; no kissing scene whatsoever for Miles as a hero, I swear, if I see the girl getting introduced as the character's crush by watching her walk down the school hallway in slow motion and waving her hair to the side and smiling at others one more time, I will give the producers a black eye.
And lastly, Miles' motivation is completely justifiable. Ever since I was 14, I always hate how teenage characters in animated stuff or movies are always rebelling against their superiors or elders and not following orders believing that they can fucking do shit on their own as if they are fucking ready. Just like how my classmates rebel against our teachers. Miles is actually rebelling because he made a promise and wishes to keep it and doesn't want to let the person he made that promise to down, and I freaking admire that! It reminds me when I went behind my parents back to get some meat, crackers, juice, bread, chips, and water in a bag and my brother and I would take the bag to this homeless person who need it. I admire teens who rebel against their elders for a good reason and only when the elder is being a complete shit case. Also, he feels guilt for doing nothing to help so he is trying to make up for it. He is a teenager who is rebelling for good reason. I freaking love that. I had Miles all wrong back in 2011 but thanks to Into the Spider Verse, I have a new found respect for him and he is my personal favorite as Spider-Man. I don't like characters because they are the same color as me, I like a character just as character, how his/her story goes to make me like them and how I feel relatable to them. I have been in Peter Parker's shoes before but I am black. I don't need to relate to someone because of skin color. I relate to characters not because they look like me, I relate to them because they are a human being like me. Spider-Man has been my favorite superhero since 2001 so I say "EXCELSIOR"!
@Immanuel Ntim-Addae So you are implying that it should be customary for a black character to speak in slang? We don't make characters based on label stereotypes. I'm black and if you have seen my videos, you would know I don't speak slang. Also, dealing with a black character, you say? HOW?! Writing a black character with what the character is supposed to sound like and experience in the life of being black? Not all blacks deal with all of that you know.
@Immanuel Ntim-Addae Black personality that you will find anywhere? The comics may have been pathetic but the movie did Miles justice. I loved Spiderman since 1999 back when I was a young as child. I never thought I would ever hear myself say that I like Miles better than Peter. I have seen enough of that slang shit for one day. You don't need him to speak in slang to show us that he is different from Peter; Miles has other things that demonstrates that he is clearly different from Peter Parker.
I understand where you're coming from but it would be interesting to see miles's background be explored more, you probably think I sound too "sjw" but racism is a real issue that still exists and affects so many people, so as long as the person writing the story knew what they were talking about or are poc themselves I think that would be a very interesting and important part of the marvel universe to explore
@@sociallyineptspider-man2366 Racism is an important thing to be explored and I always encourage it to be explored. Now, you are probably wondering, 'How can I say that after I specifically said in my original comment about exploring discrimination for a black character is getting old?' I get that and I am all for exploring discrimination and I am a black man. I think the reason I am getting bored with it is because blacks are always being used for the issue and it's understandable. I guess I just like seeing original black characters, like Cyborg from Teen titans. He is an original black character for me not because he is black like me but because of the struggle he faces which is that back when he was an athlete, he could always push himself to be better, faster, and stronger with each workout but now since his body is mechanical, he can't push himself like he use to and can only give a 100% limit. Something like for a character is easy to feel sorry for and have sympathy for.
@@sociallyineptspider-man2366 Besides, there is another reason why I am glad that Miles Morales' fight against discrimination isn't addressed: Because if it happens, it's the whites I am worried about. The whites will be saying 'Oh yet another message with blacks complaining about discrimination. We are in a better time now and blacks are being treated better.' Whites would be saying all this and would be so oblivious to the situations that many blacks are going through these days in, say it with me, 2019! Yet, it's still happening. I guess the reason why that kind of issue is not being mentioned with Miles Morales is because if it did get explored, whites would be defensive and pissed and will say horrible things in the comments about blacks and it would make me feel bad because words can really hurt. I tried to solve a problem with a racist once and was the nicest I can be and he still said such awful things that hurt.
“We are who we are when we live brave lives, when we leave, and take a leap.” I wrote that down for myself. Thank you.
Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was too corny sounding so I'm so glad I didn't choose to cut it!
@@ImplicitlyPretentious It was perfect and poignant. Very moving. I've added this video to my favorites mainly for that final closing thought.
Read this comment as the audio said it. Very satisfying
Jesus loves you
John 3:16-17
Romans 8:35-39
Luke 23:42-43
“The ideal self we become, isn’t an identity we inherit or even follow. It’s something we create.”
That’s going on my wall.
"What's interesting about Miles's self-image is that he doesn't define himself with who he is; he only knows who he *isn't* ."
Every time I watch another video essay about Spider-Verse, I discover a new gut-wrenching, way-too-relatable reason as to why this movie has always hit me differently.
Dude wanna send a lil appreciation... I'm a film student and I have to say I find your video essays just so inspirational and reminds me everything time why I love film so much and it's because of all the themes, characters, story and concepts. U low-key like the virtual teacher I never had
Oh wow thanks! I think that's one of the nicest things anyone has said to me! And I hope you enjoy studying film that was easily one of my favorite subjects I studied growing up! :)
Who's here before this channel blows up?
I just noticed that he has only 20k
Deserves millions
Thank you! That's incredibly kind of you! Although I still find it weird that I get more than 20 views per video so blowing up seems like a far away prospect lol
So glad his videos showed up in my recommended. I love listening to video essays like this.
Moi!
@Grilled Sirloin Steak I'll be one of the people who can claim I was watching at 20k when he has 200k
All of it beautifully said. I watched this movie at a very low point in my life and I'll never forget how Miles' leap of faith gave me the courage to pick myself up again as well.
Thanks! I hope you're better now and yeah I think that's the overall power of superheroes, they always pick us up when we need it :)
You too?? Same! What was your story? Also I hope you’re feeling a lot better too!
that's why miles is may favourite character some heated but I don't
same for me
Peter: Aim with your hips!
Look where you want it to hit. Square your shoulders.
Don’t forget to follow through!
Don’t shoot off your back foot.
Miles: That’s too many things!
Peter: Then stop listening to me!
It was in front of us all along.
Movie: *releases*
Implicitly Pretentious: “This film is BEAUTIFUL”
You know there's something special about a film when almost a year after it's release it's still remaining relevant and talked about, with still more to be added to the discussion.
Philosophical Movie essay...I love it. Every time I see these "Beautiful" Videos...I learn something..Thank you for being in TH-cam..Great Job..
Oh wow thank you so much! And I'm kinda relieved that the "beautiful" titles has gotten passed the click baiting sort of connotations :)
@@ImplicitlyPretentious This "Beautiful" series is the only series in TH-cam, which does justice to it's Title...I'm not flattering, really learned a lot from these videos...
your editing gets smoother and better each and every essay. Keep it up, you will go so far.
I keep having to skip back as I watch the video because I get distracted by the beautiful animation. This film is both a visual and story-telling masterpiece.
When you learn more from a 10-minute TH-cam video than an entire school year
the intro was enough bro, deeply satifying
Thanks!
I haven’t seen anyone else look at the film this way. Very interesting.
The notification popped up on my phone as “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is B...” and I thought you were about to say bad. I’ve never written a pre-emotive counter argument, but I was ready to go *in*
Earmuffs As you should
You are singlehandedly elevating the video-essay genre on TH-cam. I have never seen anyone cover these topics and these movies in such a succinct, accurate, impactful, and well spoken way.
Everytime I watch this movie it gets better and better everytime
_This guys voice is so calming and relaxing it keeps us the viewers to never click off and to watch it through from beginning to end._

Absolutely love this movie, I’ve watched it five times, four in cinemas. Such a beautiful film.
Hell yeah!
You deserve more subscriber than 20k.
Thank you! Although I started the summer with around 4k so I'm kinda blown away that I was able to get this much, like wow I didn't expect that :o
You should get a Doctoral degree of journalism.
One video taught me more about the incalculably complicated subject of "The Self" than years of reading philosophy.
Jesus christ you are good.
This is honestly my favorite kind of content
You're officially my favorite person on youtube right now. This is so beautiful I don't even know how you began to interpret all that from the movie and put it into words
i constantly come back to this video when i need inspiration. thank you for sharing this with us.
I’ve been watching your videos since beginning of this year and I have to say I just loooove your in-depth analysis on all the superhero movies. They’re so insightful. Keep up the great work ✨
Thank you! :)
This video is really insightful and got me to think of the movie in ways I hadn't even considered before. Please keep this up for years to come.
I hope I can! And thanks!
The best part was the end. "We are who we are when we live brave lives."
Love your videos. I hope you keep doing video essays/analysis
Omg im tearing up again. Great video
Nice video! I had a hard time following cause you were just saying sooo many different things for a 9 minute video but it reminded me of how beautiful this movie was and how much I loved it.
I know this is supposed to be a Miles Morales story but Peter man he just stole the show for me always.
this is the best video about spiderman. period. i have watched this many times and was used as inspiration for my speech class on identity
Well done. Almost got tears out of me.
Fantastic video! Joseph Campbell reference was spot on. Love your videos! Please make more and continue to educate and inspire!

Never stop. Keep doing this forever. You are love.
This is a beautiful essay for a beautiful movie. Gave me lots to think about. Impressive work Implicity gonna have to give you a sub for that:)

My best guess is it’s a reference to the expression “sweating like a hog”
In response to the title of the vid: no freakin duh have u seen the animation!!!
Dude... I wasn't trying to cry today...
Oh wow, I cried too, although it was from yawning during editing
@@ImplicitlyPretentious
Well, good editing, then. ;)

Next one is the Hannah Montana movie is beautiful

Lovely one, well done!!
Thank you!
Excellent study on one of the best animated movies
I've seen so many Spider-Verse video essays that make me love the movie more, but that scares me because the sequel might not hold up.
I hop we see more of animated movies like this i think spiderman into the spider verse is the future of animated movies
Another Beautiful Video. Its beautiful.
Thank you so much for citing Joseph Campbell's "A Hero with a Thousand Faces". I don't feel that writing commentary on any tv show or movie with a hero or super hero can be fully analyzed without consulting Joe. Especially when the Spiderverse clearly displays this idea of the Hero dawning a thousand faces. The hero can be anybody. And through your video essay the answer is that we create the hero by being our true authentic unfiltered self.
Totally agree with all the theories underpinning the cleverness of the writing in this movie. It also can't be understated what an utterly rip-roaring thoroughly adorable blast that this film was! I haven't enjoyed a movie so whole-heartedly in a long time
i was literally rewatching the leap of faith for the 1000th time, thank u
Thanks for watching!
typo on borders @ 6:14
great vid. I love this movie.
It could be "Boarders" as in the boards (planks) we put up on windows to shut them out from the outside world.
Very fitting for the statement being made and thematically just as relevant.
Atleast that's how I read it.
You deserve way more subscribers!
Awesome video! I certainly hope you're planning on doing an analysis of Spiderman Far From Home.
Thank you! And hell yeah I am, I've got the essay planned out! :)
@@ImplicitlyPretentious How come you've taken down a lot of your old videos? I really enjoyed them.
@@awesomesharkhand1876 Thank you! And orignally it was because I was remaking them but now I've decided to just replace the thumbnail card. But now I also want to distill my library of work so there's a better continuity of quality. But I think I'll put the links of the unlisted old stuff on twitter at some point :)
you, sir, deserve more subscribers
Thanks!
Beautiful essay
This self concept found in Spider-Man:Into the Spider-Verse is a good model for arising artists, writers, and other professionals of other fields. Because then, we wouldn't be too envious of other people and compare what we dont have that others do.
We can learn from each other's wisdom, adapt, and collaborate. Because if everyone desires one thing, won't be able to support each other's weaknesses.
This was beautiful

Nice work IP.

The voice is so relaxing. I love it. And yes it’s kinda weird
Thank You.
Aw the violin is the best part of Danse Macabre!
I became the best me when I start living in the full truth and nothing else. It was very scary at first it was truly something I never did before. And but after living a lie for all my life with a few flashes of truth here and there. I knew if I was going to for fill my destiny I had to except the fact that I had to tap into the unknown. And almost 10 years ago I took a leap of faith. And after many sleepless nights I am finally coming into fullness of what I was created to be.
You're underrated as hell.
Oh wow thank you!
@@ImplicitlyPretentious of course :)
This is so pretentious, i love it
Hey, dude, I found your channel a little while back through film diagnostics and I absolutely love your content! Im looking for other video essayists to collaborate with and I absolutely loved your style and thought you might be interested! Have an amazing day :)
Thanks! :) And yeah let's get in contact on twitter
Awesome! I followed you but here’s mine if you need it: @TheThoughtThea1
i like to imagine that you made this video because of the spidey popsicle
Has anyone else noticed all the 42s that pop up throughout the show?
this essay feels more motivational than it should be but ok
Awesome
You need to do a bunch of stuff on Bojack Horseman
Funny how this video, perhaps unintentionally but is a good video to use as a criticism of changing characters from appearance, to behavior and the actions they take, without renewing them.
Miles Morales isn't an other Peter Parker Adaptation. Miles is his own contained character.
