It wasn't just "someone" who was supposed to be bitten in Earth-42. In the Spot's dialogue explaining about how he brought the spider over, in just a few frames you can see it's actually Earth-42 Miles the spider was about to bite. The Spot stole that spider right before it was about to bite the "correct" Miles. Makes me wonder if it somehow knew it was supposed to bite "Miles Morales" and as such searched for him in 1610.
I also love how many hints they give you towards Miles being in the wrong dimension. The color palette used in 42 is slightly different, so it's just barely noticeable that something is wrong. Then, his mother mentions Comic Con, but in the 1st movie when Peter brings it up he realizes that 1610 does not have Comic Con.
Nice catch on the comic con! I noticed that his mom's eyes were suddenly the wrong color. They are brown in 1610, and they were green in 42.
Not to mention the room is completely different. We saw E1610 Miles's room earlier. It was set up like a kid's room with toys and such. The E42 room looks completely different, but it's easy to miss when focused on Miles revealing his secret identity.
It also wasn't raining there. I was not shocked that he went there, but it took me a second to realize the other spider people weren't there. I thought they knew where he was
When the quiet background whistling came on after she asked who Spider-Man was I knew something was up
I've seen it 5 times and the weight of what Miles is going through is really sinking in. His parents are upset with him, Spot blames him for ruining his life, Miguel blames him for Peter's death, his closest friends lied to him and betrayed him--that's a lot to deal. Where he is in the beginning vs where he is at the end is a huge difference.
Also, can we just appreciate how incredible the facial expressions are in this movie???
Oh boy. Those facial expressions. I was like wtf 🤯
Yes yes yes and yes!!!
People just ignore that lol
And I bet those are all the same people who complained about super Mario's simple plot.
I feel like I can see these characters acting through the animation its wild!
How the fuck did u see it 5 times lmao, did u watch it in different formats?
Yeah… all of the little character moments really hit home. Gwen’s opening drum solo is showing/recapping the events of this movie really sets it off with a bang.
how have you even had time to see it that many times 💀💀
I'm from India, so I was dreading the inclusion of Pavitra from the first time he showed up in the trailers. But they did an excellent job creating a 21st century Indian kid to show on screen - and my thester cheered for him multiple times. This is why representation matters - it feels _good_ to be seen like this.
incredible!
Best new Spider-Man.
Cool. 😀 I’m an African American woman. I like Pavitra. Him & Spider Punk stole the show for me. 😊 I can’t wait to see more of him in the next Spider-verse movie. I’m just excited overall for the sequel. I can’t wait.
I loved how in the Spider-Man 2099 universe, at first it had this utopian metropolis look. But then when they went below the surface during the chase sequence, there was this dystopian cyberpunk underworld hiding beneath. Felt very in-sync with this universe’s Spider-Man, this high-tech heroic protector with a lot of darkness under the surface.
That’s straight from the comics. Miguel’s Nueva York literally is a city built on top of the old city. Their downtown is literally downtown. It’s a cyberpunk world where the setting is high-tech, low-life.
As a fan of the Spider-Gwen comics, I was blown away to get a full adaptation of her first arc and relationship with her father, AND had an artstyle that pays tribute to the original cover art of that series. It is a movie for every single Spider-someone fan.
Each scene was literally being painted in front of you
Absolutely amazing
The paint dripping down the walls was trippy.
ditto Spider-Gwen slaps hard.
I forgot this was a part one and loved that it ended in a cliff hanger cause spiderman found out how important it is to be spiderman and Gwen makes amends in her home world, it’s not a wasted movie, it’s a complete movie and makes the stakes even higher for the 3rd movie
I don't even consider it a part one because this feels complete in a way. Like, yes is there a character trapped by an enemy. Is there a mission to save him in the works, yes. But, that's kind of how Empire Strikes Back ends.
I actually had no idea it was a part one, and the ending had me super hyped for the next one! It felt like a complete movie in and of itself, but part of a larger story, just like a lot of trilogies.
K
Very is the cliffhanger everyone’s talking abt.
I walked in the theatre not having seen a single trailer and having no clue there is going to be a third one. I was so hyped by the time gwen collected everyone and I thought lfg, now we get into the finale and then bam, the movie ended. For me,I wanted the movie to keep going and IK the finale will be amazing when they do it in the next one but arrghhhhh I really wanted that to be in this one. Having said that I’m pumped for the third movie.
A small thing that I noticed was that maybe part of why Gwen makes the choice to go help miles is her dad quitting, meaning a police captain close to the spider person cannot die in this universe anymore because she has no relationship with the police. Noticing her universe not unraveling clued her into the idea that 2099 is either lying or doesn't understand the actual truth of what's happening.
Also loved spider-punk telling miles to make his own bracelet earlier in the movie and then that coming back with spiderpunk having made one
Gwen helped Miles cause she was a bad friend whether it was for the good of everyone or not.
NOT THE SHARK! Ahhhhhhh 😱
so traumatizing 😭🤣 don’t think i’ll ever be able to watch Dan’s videos again I jumped so badly
😂
I’ll never not pay attention to the shark now.
its the only thing keeping me from gifting Dan my house 😢
I can't unsee it now
One thing that I felt tied the sequel to the original very well is the spider that bit Miles is "glitching" in "into the spiderverse," backing up that its the spider from that other dimension
Agreed 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯
The sound issue is a result of the fact that the movie is mixed to dolby reference level 7 - there was a note sent out from Lord & Miller to theatres asking to play the movie at 7.0 or 7.5 in a full house - generally, theatres default to 5 or 6 (quite a large difference) - the problem is most theatres are chains and they dont allow their managers that much control, so if they wanted to set it to that volume they would have to manually adjust every single show at the start of it, which is just unrealistic. If theatre chains would just allow management to change cueues to automate it, or even just have their IT departments do it, it could easily be fixed. Or if they had just boosted the whole film by 1 or 2db
Yess! I didn’t get my physical ingest letter, because deluxe is switching to digital letters, and it didn’t come attached to the keys or anything
That's super interesting, I definitely had the same issue with the opening so I'm glad to hear it's a theater issue and not a movie one. I would have hoped that going to an IMAX would mean not worrying about that but apparently not
@eltman1012 ours have mostly been digital for years now from Deluxe (work at a chain) but we also don't have dedicated protectionists, just managers and everything is locked down with corporate so we can't automate the audio levels. We didn't get the note about the audio in the Ingest Letter, it was a separate notice sent out by Lord & Miller that we got sent by email from our corporate office, started out something along the lines of "Dear Theatre Projectionists, ye unsung heroes of theatrical exhibition..." and they mentioned that the movie is designed to be played at 7 and that in test screenings they'd done they found that in a full house it played better at 7.5
That's really interesting. Theatres are really dropping the ball when it comes to showing movies...they self-sabotage themselves so much.
This makes sense to me. I’ve seen so many folks complain about the sound mix and I had no problem at all in my theater (and I have poor hearing, I usually rely on CC).
I was expecting something like this, where the default is a problem and many theaters weren’t making an active change to optimize the sound.
I think the canon events aren’t the events themselves, but the emotional and personal growth that comes from them. If Miles dad dies when Miles is stuck in a trap, he doesn’t learn anything from that and could likely become a villain. Choosing to save the Spot over saving his dad though, or however else they spin it, allows that growth to happen
Hobbie asks Miles why does he care so much about Miguel giving him a bracelet when he can build his own. So they establish that Hobbie can build it early on
I must have missed that line, good catch!
@@DanMurrellMovies haha. I didn’t notice Hobbie stealing all that stuff around him to build his own bracelets, so good catch as well.
I was blown away by the whole Spider-Gwen arc. Especially loved Hailee performing the speech she gives her father about the mask being her badge, which is taken almost word-for-word from Edge of Spider-Verse #2. And yeah, the movie did feel like a complete arc, except this time it was Gwen we were following and not Miles...or at least, not only Miles. Also loved the end twist, which I was slow to pick up on too. I thought something was off with the animation, and it wasn't until the reveal that I realized Miles was just a little off from the world around him. So clever....can't wait for part 3.
There was an interview done by Nerdist with the directors, who basically confirmed that yes, Miles as an anomaly is partly a commentary on the people who think that Miles doesn't count as "real" Spider-Man.
Dan this trilogy was well thought out. They didn’t just go back to the first time and see how they could fit things in, it was already planned. First film you can see spider 42 glitching before it bites miles telling us it’s from another dimension!
Thats what I thought. I literally never made that connection until they explained it and when I thought about it I was like damn this is a true trilogy with the whole story planned out from the beginning.
Forget just animated, this is in the discussion for being a top 10 comic book movie of all time 💯
How about just one of the best movies ever made? Period 🙂
I know it's technically a movie, but I think it's more than that. It actually feels like a comic book turned to life and there's so much done from an art and design perspective that it's hard to even compare it to other comic book movies. This really feels like a living comic book in a way that I haven't seen another cartoon been able to do and live action can never match
Ok but like I think it might be THE best animated movie AND comic movie of all time-
@Weegi One of the best for sure but idk about THE best.
Nah. Ain't no "to be continued...." gonna be in the discussion as GOAT. Maybe as the full 3-piece trilogy, but not this one as a standalone, by itself.
As Dan was giving his recap I had a thought... what if Miguel murdered his variant to have his own family? and he's the anomaly in his universe?
To me the best thing about 1 was when the Prowler shows up and his music is just so powerful and so intimidating. I was so shocked (but full of joy) to hear it toward the end of the movie.
The beginning with Gwen story and founding out she accidentally killed her peter Parker and was being on the run from her dad had your heart break. The relationship with miles and his parents was very much the heart of the movie. The cliff hanger really works cause we leave him right where the next movie should open with miles facing who he could have been
The way they transform the spot from a joke to and threat was great. Spider punk was brilliant. Gwen Stacey was brilliant in this movie. The way they use the cameos really help the feel of the movie and the way the mix animation style and made it feel like they all belong in the same scene.
Spider punk adds to the idea of fighting against the norm so well. They needed him for the story they wanted to tell.
When Mrs. Chen showed up, my entire theater cheered. Its an indirect tie in, but man did it get a lot of enthusiasm!
I’m excited to see how and if they’ll go beyond the canon. Miles has 2 days to save his dad. Miles was Spider-Man for 2 days in the fist installment. Perhaps Madam Web will be involved. Miguel saying Miles was the mistake draws away from “anyone can wear the mask” Miles is not an accident and both him and Gwen promised to come home respectively. Love it.
Here’s the thing they were all accidents all bitten randomly but Miguel was the only one injected with the blood of the spider so really the only one who is different is Miguel
Madame Web comes out two months before Beyond so you may be right about that connection
@@URG2003 good point, that was a very important scene too. Perhaps he’s not suppose to be the only one “keeping it all together” either.
@@GoliathWarfare I can only hope! We’ve yet to see her, Silk, etc.
@@GoliathWarfare Are they seriously making that movie? Sheeee
The chase scene at the Spider-Verse hub was one of the most exhilarating sequences I’ve seen in a film of any medium in a long time. What was accomplished in this film defies comprehension.
It was good
That shark tho! 😂
I loved this movie! I didn’t realize Miles was in the wrong universe until he started glitching. During my second watch, I noticed the bedroom decor was different & his hoodie was purple, jacket was green, it was hinting at prowler colors there too.
My main thing was knowing it was a part one but I expected it to end way sooner. And then several times after I initially thought it would end, it just kept going haha but I still loved it and want to rewatch it now!
Haha i total felt that way too 😅😅
felt exactly the same. Movie had like 3 endings lol
@@alexsilva28 SPOILERS: I thought the Spiderman chase would be the end then I thought Gwen entering the portal after a discussion with her father was the end, then I thought MIles telling his Mom he's Spider-man was the end hahaha
@@atomiccris00 Exactly lol
Yah I kept feeling that towards the end and keep dreading the inevitable
One of the best things this movie does with its story is continuously talk about this notion of "choice" and how it affects events. Whether it being Miles wanting to save his dad, or Miles saving the cop in the Spider-Man India's world or even to something big like his relationship with Gwen where you can tell they both want to take the leap and like each other as more then friends. Like Gwen mentioned, in every other universe it never ends well but maybe just maybe Miles going against that and taking his own leap could make it a thing this time around and him and Gwen actually get together romantically. That's why I am so hyped to see all these things transpire in Beyond.🙏
Agreed. Also to emphasize a point you made on Gwen. She says in every OTHER universe. Not in every universe
“So you mean there’s a chance 😅”
@@malekaius Miles did say "first time for everything" but also were those her exact words. I swear I thought it was "every" universe. I wonder if that was a mess up on the writing off the dialogue. Because that wouldn't make sense in tandem with what Miles said after. It would be a first time for something if it was happening in every other universe.
@@OrionInSpace
She says “every other universe”. She’s only talking about the universes where Gwen falls for Spider-Man. Those universes don’t end well for that relationship. Gwen isn’t with Spider-Man in every universe.
@@Ren_Davis0531 ok ya I get that so in this case again to Miles point "there's a first time for everything". So you think it will happen?
@@OrionInSpace
I think, if they can get past Gwen hurting Miles, they will both try to make it work. Who knows if some multiversal shenanigans or other Spider stuff complicates their relationship, but they will probably try to defy their fate and fight for their right to be happy.
Goodness gracious…gunna have to pause for a sec…that shark shook me to my core…😨
Thank you, Dan! You articulate really well how this movie is satisfying on a narrative level while leaving us wanting more
Bruh, the cids been out for 11 minutes and it's 30 minutes long. Stop cappin
@austincarlson9270 I'm still watching, but he talks about that part at the beginning of the vid.
My main issue with the retcon that all is Miles fault is that he did nothing to lead to the spider biting him. He didn’t orchestrate that at all. The events after that led to the rest. It was really Spots fault.
I don't think the movie's philosophy is that it's Miles' fault, but it's a struggle that he has to overcome, both internally and against Miguel.
I cannot NOT think about the shark!!! lol
Such a beautiful and expressive animation with glamorous shots, Miguel's last scene standing on top of the building his sound track playing... Chills
The perfect way to some up this movie was best said by Gwen during the vulture fight: “its a meta commentary on art…thats also art.”
I've seen the movie twice and people were surprised both times when the "to be continued" hit the screen, myself included because I forgot. It's just so intense in those last moments so seeing those words are a punch to the gut. This movie is really something special.
I didnt feel punched....i felt like, good...there's sooo much more i felt needed to be told. Had they tried to finish it would've been rushing
Other than the sound mix, am so glad you brought attention to the music. While the animation and story were all very great, the lasting impression for me after the film ended was just how amazing the film score and sound design were. Every scene was chock full of emotions that you could feel through the music (the other half being the amazing voice acting).
The thing I’ll add on to the apparent sound mixing issues is that one of my friends actually attended an early screening of the film on the Sony lot back in April, and when the reports about the sound mix issues started coming in on Friday, he actually told me that even that early screening that he attended also had some of the sound mix issues that people are now bringing up. If even the state of the art screening rooms on the studio’s backlot are having sound issues, then it seems like something went wrong when they were doing the theatrical sound mix. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the home releases as from my understanding, they often make a separate sound mix for the home release, so if they haven’t locked down that sound mix yet, they might end up making changes to prevent the issues that people are currently seeing (or hearing in this case) with the theatrical release.
Imax showing in the UK was really difficult to hear the talking during the start with Gwen and maybe a couple of brief parts during the rest of it.
I nearly went to mention it to staff but thought it was probably just me. A small downside but still the best film iv seen in ages.
I hardly heard anything Hobbie said
As someone who was surprised by the cliff hanger,I really liked not knowing beforehand. I had the same experience with Endgame , but I can see how some people might not have liked the ending if they didn't know it wss a 2 parter going in.
Don’t you mean Infinity War?
I was a little taken aback, but as soon as I processed it for a minute, I really liked it
I was personally having issues with audio volume during my whole showing, but my roommate who was with me says he didn't have any issues. I'm glad you brought that up and I'm not having hearing issues in my mid-thirties
I had audio issues in the beginning. The music was fighting hard with Gwen’s monologue. Issue seemed fixed for like 98 percent of the movie but the lowered levels of character dialogue came back from time to time. Seems consistent with issues people have had so maybe the sound editor of the film made a minor mistake in some areas
Yup mine also felt very quiet
I also experienced issues with the sound. At times the music seemed to be overwhelming the dialogue. I’m glad Dan brought it up because I did wonder if something was wrong with my hearing 😅
I will always look at the shark now. I can't help it lolol
I didn’t know it was a part 1 and I’m actually so glad that I didn’t know before watching. It made for a much more surprising and exciting ending for me.
Excited to own this physically and digitally to rewatch again over and over like I do "Into the Spider-Verse".
how'd u get it digitally?
@@davidukadike5065 - Which? If you're talking about "Into the Spider-Verse" I bought the DVD, Blu-ray and Digital pack when it came out. I'm hoping/assuming that they'll do the same for "Across the Spider-Verse" when that time comes.
@@davidukadike5065 reading comprehension skills go a long way buddy
@@davidukadike5065 It's on Google Play
The figure in the pack of Miguel's lab isn't another person strung up. The character designer in charge of Miguel's design in this movie, Kris Anka, is a comic book artist who had previously designed Miguel's modern white
suit in the comics, and the figure in the background is just a prototype version of that exact suit. It's either a foreshadowing for his look in the next movie or simply a nod to the artist's previous work.
This is a love letter to Spider-Man while giving you a brand new interesting story about a new Spider-Man.
I know it's part one but this is the greatest Spider-Man movie yet.
And I think it's going to transcend the live action versus animation debate.
What a film! I saw the 1st showing on Thursday in Dolby Cinema at AMC. (LOVE the poster they gave us BTW!),. I noticed the low audio in those opening few minutes, before the title card. While I could hear Gwen speaking, her volume was really low. But after the title sequence, the volume was fine. The next day I started seeing people talking about the same thing. As far as the ending? I forgot this was technically, part 1 of 2. So when it ended on a cliffhanger, while I was already feeling the run-time, I was both bummed it was over, and gotta wait 9 months for the finale!.....MAN...WHAT A FILM!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see it again!
Honestly, I hope they DON'T add any new characters. It's always a mistake to bloat the cast. Spot was already absent for the entire second half of this film and the 3rd movie is gonna have to dive deeper into Miguel and Evil Miles before their face-turns. The writers need to focus and flesh out the characters they've already introduced to prevent sidelining them or plot device-ing them.
I'm happy you brought up the sound mixing-- I had the exact same problems with the dialogue in the exact same ways that you mentioned. I think this problem was also exaggerated by the fact that there's a lot of dialogue in the first place, there's often many characters talking over each other, and most characters are wearing a mask that covers their mouth half the time.
I do want to say about Spot and Miles. Peter Parker Spiderman also made fun of Spot when they first met. So really, it's lore accurate for Miles to laugh at him but I like that the movie actually made it mean something
I’m one of the ppl who didn’t realize it was a part 1, and wish I had. I adored the movie and had no issues, it was just mildly confusing to understand the pacing without knowing it. I’d occasionally disengage from the movie wondering how certain elements were going to fit into runtime, and worrying the end was going to be rushed. And then it ended lol.
I’m actually really looking forward to watching it again, and just being able to enjoy the story they tell me, without wondering how they’re going to fit in everything else- Miles and his family reconnecting, Miles and Oscar Isaac coming head to head, Miles and his friends reconnecting, etc.
I like how when Miles was talking to Rio on Earth 42 he was wearing a green jacket and purple shirt. He was wearing Prowler colors without even knowing it lol
THANK YOU with your comments about the sound mix, especially with Gwen's opening monologue. I watched it in Imax and had the exact same issues. Glad it wasn't just me.
I'm really excited to see what the next movie has in store for the Prowler. Given what Miguel says about the spider from Earth-42, you could imagine the Prowler feeling like he or his world are owed a debt. Combined with how hard-edged the character seems, he's a complete wild card.
It's gonna be a face-turn. Classic comic formula when you're running 1 hero vs 3 villains. Miguel is gonna do a face-turn as well. Finale team-up against The Spot. Should be fun, if not predictable.
A great review!! Incredibly thorough
The art is so freaking good man. It’s such an artistic accomplishment and it’s sad if people overlook it because it’s a comic book film. Every still frame looks amazing
Okay so I wasnt crazy on the sound mixing thing. Thanks Dan for bringing that back up. I lost a lot in the action scenes, thankfully I have decent hearing but I'm going to see it again in a premium sound theater. Anyway thanks for that section Dan.
Love the spoiler review as always. Also they did say the spiderman that he replaced was a Miguel O Hara, could be wrong but that is what i got from that scene
Most thorough film review I've ever seen, and not *boring*-thorough.... Instant subscribe
Same! With Gwen's intro and the drumming. But then the speaker cut out for a moment do I thought it was a technical issue.
I had the same exact thought about the sound mix in the opening sequence
Yes, I didn't realize it was Part 1. And judging by the groans from the audience in my theater... lots of people didn't realize it was a two-parter. So yeah, sounds like Sony could have done a better job telling audiences to expect that.
26:10 I think Hobie also says something to Miles about building his own device instead of relying on getting one from the Spider group when they first get into the headquarters building
Did it bother anyone else that at the very beginning when Gwen was telling her story and was drumming that her voice was very low in volume and was hard to hear her over the drumming sounds? Dan just answered this. Haha. Should have waited
I forgot it was a part 1 but I really loved being surprised by the to be continued. I got an immediate sense of excitement and anticipation I haven't had in a long time.
Hi Dan - excellent review, as always! Great point about how Hobie was taking chips here and little bits of tech there for himself. I didn’t realize he was probably taking it to make his own spiderverse watch, until you said it! He also had an exchange with Miles about it, at one point saying, “make your own watch…” when Miles is saying he wants his own watch. (!!)
also at one point he also says "looking out for my drummer" which was referencing Gwen
Amazing review as always 🔥
YES! The eyes! I noticed it too and that’s when I realized something was off.
I was already looking forward to this spoiler review but now I'm hyped for the next Charts with Dan episode 👀
Thinking of Schnepp today ❤️ thank you for another great one Dan!
I'm so very excited. Literally just got back home from seeing it, wrote a review on LetterBoxd, and now seeing what others have to say about it.
Last 25 minutes were incredible!
Hobie actually says "why not make you're own" during the lead up to meeting Spider-man 2099!
I took the thing Miguel injected himself with as the drug he's addicted to in the original comics. He works on his DNA to get clean in a hurry, but a scientist who hates him tampers with the experiment, turning Miguel into Spider-Man 2099 by giving him spider-powers in his DNA.
The bracelet Hobie gives Gwen says "Project Bootleg" on it, so it's definitely his own design, not Spider-Army tech.
"it's your fault I'm the way that I am"
I think when you build a supercollider to help a villain, it's all on you when it blows up and erases your face. Miles didn't build the machine or activate it, Spot did that to himself.
Ok happy to hear the sound wasn’t just my theater. I had a really hard time following dialogue quite a few times.
Thanks for bringing up the sound issue in the opening scene, it was brutal, but glad it didn’t last during my showing.
Another absolute masterpiece work of art
Glad to see I'm not alone in finding the sound mix way off. I could barely hear a good chunk of the dialogue during the action scenes.
Really good point on the soundtrack. This is one of the very rare movies where I immediately looked up the soundtrack for a listen afterwards.
I saw it at my local IMAX and didn't have any difficulty understanding the dialogue, but the mix did seem a bit off during the opening drum solo sequence.
Spider-man is the only comic-book character that I was invested in as a kid, and it's amazing that we're getting treated to a second truly great film trilogy, along with the MCU spider-man, which has been just shy of great imo.
I loved it so much. Your non spoiler review convinced me to go a second time! Both in Dolby which was stunning
I thought I'm coming back to see this movie again half way through watching it the first time
I saw it in a regular theater and the sound was perfect.
My theater had no idea it was a two part and everyone collectively yelled out WHAT???? Very fun time with the audience watching this movie.
There's a good chance that Miguel's story will be explored in detail in the next movie. He might even become the main villain
Hello Mr. Murrell,
I cannot agree more with the sound mix with respect to the opening scene.
Being very fortunate I saw the movie in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and it is the newest theatre (sorry it IS the newest) in the city.
I've never commented on youtube before but the movie was fantastic! However I couldn't hear the opening very well and thought it was just me.
Thanks Mr. Murrell,
You're doing a great job!
Josh
Yeah true, my friend and I struggled to hear some of the dialogue at the theater here in South Africa😅... But all in all the movie (especially the music) slapped 😭😭
I think the part two actually felt like a fitting way to need the movie with the character arcs. Its a lot like how Gwen and Miles feel a little uncertain about what is going to happen next. A satisfying ending but still pointing towards what’s next
Same here Dan, I had the same experience with the sound issue here in the UK, London, like you had in the imax
Loved the movie. Not sure about everyone else, but the second biggest audience reaction in my screening (after the ending) was the “Spider men pointing at each other meme” gag.
I saw this movie last night at the blue mouse theater after your promotion of it on last week's charts with dan
I think the implication is that on earth 42 Miles was supposed to be Spider-Man. But his spider jumped universes and bit our Miles. So he became the Prowler instead because his dad died and he didn’t have any influence other than his uncle. Who survived because there wasn’t Spider-Man to stop him.
So excited to finally be able to watch this now that I’ve seen this amazing film!
I noticed the Go Home Machine showing Earth-42, but I was so distracted by focusing on the movie that I forgot it was the universe of the spider and didn't make the connection. What finally tipped me off was when Rio asked "is that cosplay for Comics-Con?" There was a throwaway joke in the first movie that there is no Comic-Con in Miles's universe; I guess it's not a throwaway anymore 😂
Totally agree with the sound mix! The opening mix was so loud, including Spider-Punks intro.
It’s a back to future 2 & 3 situation and I’m loving it
I saw it in XD as well. The audio mixing was brutal.
Glad to understand about the theater sound mix problems. I watched it in cinemark XD today and was worried in the beginning when i couldn't hear Gwen's dialogue clearly but was happy that problem didn't persist in the rest of the movie in XD
Super excited for the next movie!
I went to an Australian cinema with normal, non-IMAX sound on the 25th of June and while it was a little hard to hear some quieter, incidental pieces of dialogue the rest, like Gwen's intro and outro monologues, I could hear just fine!
My daughter also picked up on the green eyes! That’s amazing! I was very impressed (with her and the movie)!
Spot on on sound mix. Same problems I had. I thought it was just me or just that theater or just my country. Unbelievable they missed that. It made the movie difficult for me
I loved the movie. My 13 YO son, who rarely watches movies, was excited for this one as well. He even bought the tickets! lol. The story was wonderful. And the moments with Miles and his mother was so touching. There was a lot of moments when I could see my son looking at me out the corner of my eye. ❤ The animation has somehow leveled up even more! When the intro started, I thought I was going to be in trouble because it was almost too much for me with my glasses, but it smoothed out once it went along. My heart hurt for Miles. I felt the anxiety and sadness he was going through with finding out about canon events and as well as he was never meant to be Spider-Man. In regards to people not knowing it was 2 parts, that definitely happened in my theater. They were people who hollered out when that "To be continued" came up. My son was also like, "Wait, what?!". I guess they missed the original announcement as well.
I thought I was going crazy about the sound but im glad to hear im not the only one
My theatres audio and video were just fine.. didn’t notice a single problem
