Hobie looking out for Miles throughout is something that people need to see more. My boy took care of him, picking off different parts to then later make his own watch to save miles, the line "Don't enlist unless you know what you're fighting for", Hobie reminding him to use his palms instead of his fingers when he got trapped by miguel. It was all to look out for him. that little giggle when Miles broke out, all of that seamingly selfish anarchism had a reason when you look closely. Hobie is a G
Also, if you notice when Hobie is close to/in contact with Miles, he is all colorful and shades of blue and red but when Miles walks away he turns black and white. You see it really occur the first time we see when they are talking with Miguel and Miles runs off in excitement and Hobie looks sad and turns gray. I bet (or like to think) Gwen talked about him alot and had a lot of good things to say. The India Spider Man (I forget his name) seemed to know exactly who he was and I'm sure Peter B Parker talked about him at "HQ"
They purposefully make us dislike him by framing him against miles as a love interest for gwen, but its all just misdirection. He's actually just looking out for gwen and by extension miles
Shopkeeper woman that you wondered why she wasn't shocked is because she's from the Venom movies. She's seen Venom literally eat a mugger that came in to rob her shop.
I'm surprised so many people were caught off guard by the To Be Continued ending. When the first trailer hit, it was titled Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Part One
@@SandiskCruzeryep, avoided the trailer myself, and so did the theatre I was in, apparently, as everyone let out a collective groan to the "To be continued"..!
Same here...I watched this movie 3 times in imax during opening week & when the screen said "To be continued" a majority of the theater bursted into groans & moans. Which I sorta understood their frustration, cuz I had the same reaction back in September of 2022, when I remembered randomly that this was going to be released some time soon. Early October & I wanted to buy 1st viewing tickets ASAP but then found out that it was delayed & that I now needed to wait another 9 months to see this LMAOOOO
@@AFMountaineer2000Except one thing: She's pregnant. She needs to quit being a hero. I get the feeling her baby will start to coming out in the 3rd movie of Miles Morales Spider-Man.
I saw this in the theater on opening day and I left the theater speechless. The animators went off with both Spider-Verse films. If they make another hit with Beyond the Spider-Verse it will be the greatest Spider-Man trilogy of all time. Been waiting for your reaction and I’m not disappointed ❤
On a tangent I was talking the other day about the differences between villains and antagonists and this movie is actually a good example of that. Villains are characters with malicious intent, which makes Spot the villain here. An Antagonist on the other hand is a character who presents a primary obstacle for the Protagonist to overcome during their journey through the story. So in this case Miguel isn't a villain, since he's not acting with ill intent, but he is a main antagonist for Miles. (There's a similar difference between heroes and protagonists sometimes, although in this film Miles is definitely both.)
This movie was GOD TIER!! The art styles are through the roof and incredibly beautiful. I have never seen a movie more beautiful than this, ever. It has become my favorite Spider-Man movie ever, and third favorite comic book movie only after Infinity War and Endgame. The characters were amazing and the storylines are perfectly crafted. I LOVED Gwen and seeing more of her story and her world. The Spot is one of the best villains portrayed on the big screen and his journey from Goofy guy to terrifying multiversal threat was amazing and well played out as his character arc. Cannot wait to see him in the next movie. The soundtrack is a must have for anyone. My favorite part was Miguel (voiced by the incredible Oscar Isaac who's played other Marvel characters like Apocalypse and MoonKnight), and seeing the definition of a non-villanious antagonist. He's not evil, he wants to protect and save but he's been forced and shaped by trauma and loss and his vision has been tunneled, he projects on others and is willing to go down a dark path to protect all the universes. He feels so guilty about loosing his daughter and the entire world so he feels only he can carry this burden on his shoulders. He really has a deeply complex and intriguing character, not to mention his character design is S tier (he's even got spider fangs and claws, for crying out loud!) Now that you've seen it I'm happy because all my favorite reactors have watched the movie and everyone agrees this is practically a perfect film.
Great reaction! Hobie is the best Spiderman, I don't care what anyone says. He was such a bro, knew all the right moves to make, helped out so much and wasn't even on screen for that long. Dude was pullin the stings behind the scenes, biding his time until he could help foster the anti-Miguel revolution.
If It wasn't already explained, Miguel had his DNA altered with a spider and wasn't bitten like every other Spiderman. He also doesn't have a spidersense nor can he walk on walls like them. His bite can also paralyze people.
My favorite part is Gwen's intro, that coi leray song really set the mood, and when Aaron showed back up at the end, that beat drop gave me chills. It was amazing I seen that movie 7 times in theaters
Miguel O'Hara is the Spiderman of the year 2099 and in his time all the Avengers including spiderman are gone. Miguel worked for a corrupt company called Alcamax that forced him to do inhumane experiments. Unlike other Spidermen he wasn't bite by a radioactive spider he actively spliced his human DNA with Spider DNA. As part of an experiment to recreate the original Spiderman. The experiment gave him untraditional spider powers he has fangs that secret paralytic venom and he has claws that he uses to climb walls.
Considering how good the first one was I was worried Across the Spider-Verse wouldn't be anywhere near as good, but those worries pretty much disappeared within the first 5 minutes. They took the animation style of the first film and improved upon it tenfold, this is legit one of the most beautifully animated films I've seen in quite some time. The story is really interesting and well-paced to the point where it really doesn't feel like it's nearly 2.5 hours long, the characters are all really interesting and well-developed, and that score is just utterly magnificent. I cannot wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse, we could potentially be looking at a near-perfect animated film trilogy here
A fun fact that I love telling people: That one spiderman that goes "My bad everybody, there was somewhere to run" was voiced by Music Producer Metro Boomin. He was actually one of the main people that worked on the soundtrack for the movie!
25:35 That Spider-Man who says "We know it's hard, but it's the truth Miles" was the Spider-Man from the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series which is the best depiction of Spider-Man outside the comics and was voiced by Josh Keaton who voiced him in the show. I really recommend watching the show or reacting to it because it really will hel you understand Spider-Man's lore and character more.
Thank you for being the only reactor I have seen that acknowledges his age is an issue. He is fifteen. His parents wouldn’t just say yeah go be Spider-Man in this big dangerous city and handle some of the stuff too tough for police (your dad) to do. Maybe in a year or two but fifteen is still a boy. Great reaction. Thanks for the time and effort to do these reactions.
Some fun facts about Hobie/Spider-Punk! This incarnation of Hobie is fairly recent, but the character of Hobie Brown dates back all the way to 1969, where he was the original Prowler and became one of Spider-Man's allies fairly early on. He's something of a precursor to Miles in a lot of ways. The Hobie we see here is from a dystopian world dominated by cruel mega corporations, and all the superheroes are anarchistic punks fighting the good fight against them; there's a punk Hulk, Hobie's music idol was his world's version of Gwen Stacy, that world's Captain America is called Captain Anarchy... Hobie himself is apparently doomed to die young and he embraces it, declaring himself a 'radioactive suicide machine'. A lot of his mannerisms here are him deliberately baiting Miguel, waiting for his opportunity to reveal the Spider-Society's flaws. Miguel himself is also from a dystopian world and he is specifically a cyberpunk protagonist, with the grim outlook that implies; he has had an extremely rough life filled with betrayal, abandonment and constant misery. In his world, all the superheroes died a long time ago, and he was the first of a new age of heroes. He's actually the most moral and upbeat of them, because his world is so grim. There's little information on what's going on with the Miles we meet at the end of the movie, but apparently he's an anti-hero at worst; his world is apparently run by a criminal cartel that is this world's version of the Sinister Six, so if he seems grim and scary, its because he had to be in order to survive and fight them.
On a meta level, Miguel being Miles' antagonist/rival in this movie is so interesting... In the 90's, Marvel launched an initiative called 2099. It was supposed to be the (possible) future of the Marvel Universe, set in the year, you guessed it, 2099. The biggest success of that initiative is Miguel O'Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099. In the early 2000's Marvel launched another initiative called the Ultimate Universe, and the biggest success of THAT initiative was Miles Morales, AKA Ultimate Spider-Man, AKA Spider-Man II. For the longest time, Miguel was the heir apparent to the mantel of Spider-Man, until Miles was created, and everything changed. That's obviously not why Miguel hates Miles in this movie, but I do think it's fascinating that the filmmakers made the two of them rivals, with that history in mind, y'know?
Gwen killing her Peter/Lizard is how things happened in the Spider Gwen comics. Her main villain is Mat Murdock, leader of the Hand and also known as the King Pin
There's so many little bits of perfect setup and storytelling in this movie, but the one I want to focus on right now? The fact that Miles' dad being promoted to Captain is mentioned as the punchline to a blink-and-you-miss-it joke right at the start of the movie, but the writers trust you to be paying enough attention that when it comes up in the third act as a canon event, you think back and go "oh shit, that's RIGHT" instead of going "when was this established?"
I was a bit apprehensive when I first saw the trailer for portraying Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 in an antagonistic way because Miguel is a far cry from a villain and he's also my all-time favourite Spider-Man in the comics but the movie did an amazing job for portraying him not as the villain but more like an opposing force. Also just to clarify, he is not part vampire. That was just a joke they made in the movie becuse he has fangs which can secrete paralyzing venom.
Some little tidbits: The penguin in Gwens room is a reference to her from Spiderhams universe. She's a penguin in it. Ben constantly saying things out loud is cause he's from a era were they had thought bubbles constantly appearing so you can hear their thinking. Gwens comic is actually drawn very similar to how her universe appears. Miguel is actually from the main comics canon universe originally. He's from the year 2099, and the reason he has to inject himself is cause he's more like a spider than Peter was due to a accident forcing him to use the DNA on himself to survive. Also his suit is just a day of the dead costume he found and tweaked.
About Miguel: Everyone is the hero of their own story. But the way he pursues his mission has turned him into a fascist, 'my way is the only right way' kind of dictator of the Spiderverse. My hope for the finale is that Miles will manage to save Jeff, and Miguel will see that it doesn't harm his Earth or the Spiderverse. Also, lesser hope, that through the events of that movie he'll see what actually causes what he saw happen to his adopted family/dimension. It may involve the ongoing work stabilizing Earth-50101 will uncovering that what happened there was about Spot's power and/or the Alchemax collider crashing down, rather than breaking the so-called Canon.
Yep! Remember, the central idea of Spiderman is "With great power comes great responsibility." Miguel doesn't seem to believe in this. Instead, he thinks, "Don't take responsibility. Everything is fated to happen. If you use your power to help people, you only make things worse." And the idea that the whole universe hangs on one person's life or death is utterly ridiculous. All the uncles, all the police captains, all the girlfriends and boyfriends - they're all mortal, and they're all going to die sooner or later. Why does the universe care if they die a few years earlier or a few years later? How can the laws of physics that hold the universe together possibly be bothered by whether Uncle Ben is shot by a burglar or dies of a natural causes in his sleep? What's so special about this particular person's death? What about all the other tragic deaths that have happened through the thousands of years of human history?
13:12 the song is called Mona Lisa by Dominic Fike! Literally my favorite song from the movie. The entire soundtrack is amazing tho, metro booming absolutely killed it
That woman who was unphased. The convenience store where Spot took the gum. We’ve seen her before. And the gum is a clue from where. “Venomint”. She owns that store in San Francisco where Eddie Brock/Venom, aka Lethal Protector frequents. This movie went all over animation and went to a few live action universes with Toby McGuire spiderverse, Andrew Garfield amazing spiderverse, the venomverse, and even MCU with Donald Glover as Prowler locked up in Miguel’s prison thing.
Fun fact: Spider Punk's (Hobie) animation seems chaotic and random, but when he's interacting with someone he cares about, like Gwen, Mayday, or even Hobie, he turns pink!
Pamiętam oglądając ten film w kinie, że od razu zwróciłem uwagę na to że Miles jest w złym świecie. Oczy Rio Morales w jego świecie są brązowe, a w świecie 42 są zielone. No i alternatywna Rio była zdziwiona jego włosami, a przecież widzieli się parę godzin wcześniej. Taki mały detal ;) I remember watching this movie in the cinema that I immediately noticed that Miles was in a wrong world. Rio Morales' eyes are brown in his world, and green in world 42. And the alternative Rio was surprised by his hair, and they had seen eachother a few hours earlier. Such a small detail ;)
You were so cute geeking out about the artwork of the animation the whole time. Loved it. Also you almost falling out of your chair saying your sooo tight after it ended was how i felt the 1st time watching.
😭that was exactly my reaction when they abruptly ended it! i was like "omgg nooo wayyyy why would you do that!?😭" but alas.. guess we have to wait for the third one now:)
Across The Spider-Verse is one of the best movies I saw this year. That cliffhanger didn't make me mad cause I can wait for the next movie. Love your reaction, VKunia!!❤️❤️
My Favorite Besides The Original Spiderman I Like Peter Porker Spider Ham But Theank You For Doing a Great Job Migel is Acting Like Batman Does Against Superman When Superman Died
Greatest movie of all time. Though if you heard about the rumors about the animators and the production, they had struggle within. A darkside of the production “Pushed to work more than 11 hours a day, seven days a week”
I saw this in the theater, no one knew it would be a cliffhanger, and the whole theater was moaning and groaning in shock. I, on the other hand, laughed and shouted, “Chaos!” Not because I’m some cool tough person, this isn’t one of those stories. Because first of all… it was pretty funny. But second… the movie just kept getting more and more intense. You start to expect a movie to peak before a certain point but there was no relief in sight and I was actually kinda exhausted. This made me sad because I wanted to enjoy it and here I was wishing it would end already. So finding out it was a cliffhanger was a relief where everyone else was mad. Fun!
He is a hero it's just he's willing to make a sacrifice of one person to save all realities mostly because he's seen a whole world die because of his actions and doesn't want any more to die
This movie was perfect. I saw it in the theater and it was a great experience. Glad, I went in not knowing the movie would end in a cliffhanger and that that ending wasn't spoiled for you.; it makes the experience much better.
Since you’ve seen the first season of Loki, the Spider Society is pretty much a Spidey-themed TVA. A major difference is that they don’t prune dimensions. Rather, they try to save them from collapsing.
This was originally called across the spiderverse part 1 and was split into 2 movies then they changed the name and most people didn’t notice I think they did it so people wouldn’t wait for part 2 to watch them both I knew going in it was split in 2 so I wasn’t surprised but the people in my theater when I saw it lost their shits the next part is called beyond the spiderverse and comes out next year
Love how it did the Miles Gwen romance so naturally and didn’t shy away from both of their faults. Need a happily ever after in Beyond for those two. Gwen Stacy needs a good ending for a change. Like Miles said. First time for everything.
Yay! I found your channel a while ago when I was watching reactions to Into the Spiderverse, and I loved the Gwen costume and how into it you were! You've become one of my favorite media reaction channels and I'm glad you got to this one
The Venom movies are trash. They only connect because Sony desperately clutches on to the IP rights. And I say they are trash as a fan of comics since the 80's and want a true Venom on screen. New fans need to have some standards. It's not just movie critics and journalist that are out of touch.
My favorite song on this soundtrack is hummingbird. I listen to it so freaking much. I typically only listen to country and 1970/80s rock like guns and roses and Led Zeppelin but I love the song hummingbird so much
The thing that really resonated with me in this film, and the reason I liked Hobie's rebellious character so much is the way the movie makes a meta-narrative of "canon" representing choice versus destiny in terms of story, and the wider implication of audience expectation versus creative freedom. One of my least favorite tropes in storytelling is giving a character incredible powers to either change their fate or change the timeline at large, and then having the narrative invalidate that character's choices because fate and destiny are deemed more important. It's a way to create drama and subvert some expectations, but stories like that also don't tend to communicate much beyond the idea that again, the character's abilities and choices don't matter in the grand scheme. And the other part of that is audience expectation of what makes a Spider-Man story "canon." And this is very topical for the character of Miles Morales specifically, because there was a lot of racial backlash both to the Marvel Ultimates comic where Miles debuted, and also to the possibility of the character being played by Donald Glover. "There can't be a black Spider-Man, and if you make one then it's not *canon* ". And while we're on the topic of canonical things not necessarily being good things, the original Gwen Stacy was written to die in the comics because those writers thought she was boring and that Peter would be more interesting paired with MJ, so Gwen got one of the rawest crappy canons in comic's history. Aside from the clear and harmful tropes in the above, sticking rigidly to established canon can be straight up boring, constantly retreading the same ground with the same characters and familiar character beats, without the opportunity to try new things and make new stories. The Spiderverse films are immensely innovative for more reasons than I could possibly list here, but their commitment to take established stories and characters in new directions is something that puts them leagues ahead of practically every other MCU and superhero property in my mind.
Before Gwen loses her Peter you actually see her, Peter, aunt May, uncle Ben and Captain Stacy sitting round the dinner table. So as well as the spider biting her instead of Peter, none of Peter's 'canon events' occur on Earth-65.
You look great as Spider-Gwen! Glad you chose that costume for your reaction today. This was absolutely incredible to see in the theater. From Gwen's "mood ring" world, to that spectacular chase scene, to the cliffhanger at the end, there was never a dull moment. And I can understand your frustration at the very end -- even though I knew there was a Part 3 in the works, it was so hard to leave the story hanging like that. I fully agree with your assessment of Miguel and his character. While not exactly a villain, he's steadily drifting away from being heroic. And yes, he absolutely hates Miles -- his entire attitude when they first met face-to-face exuded disgust and contempt. Miguel is so absolutely convinced of his 'canon event' theory, despite the flaws in it, that he can't entertain the possibility of any other explanation for the dimensional decay that he's witnessed. Trapped in that mindset, I think he needs someone to blame -- and Miles is that someone, no matter how irrational it is to lay the fate of the multiverse on the shoulders of a 15-year-old. Rather than a favourite moment, there's an Easter egg from the movie that I really like. Among the villains caged at the Spider Society, I'm always hyped to see Video Man. He was an occasionally recurring character on "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends", a cartoon on Saturday morning TV back in the 80s. He's the blue pixel guy with the red eyes and horns. I can't wait to see a reactor who recognizes him!
27:00 "oh that Spider-Man looks sick! Bring him back. Bring him back." I was surprised to find out (via Marvel Legends action figures) that that is actually a Spider-Woman. Apparently called "Cyborg Spider-Woman." But yes, she does indeed look awesome and they should bring her back because I definitely want more. From the little Googling I did I think she's original to this movie and essentially the filmmakers' own spin on an existing male comic book counterpart. Kind of like how they did their own spin on Jessica Drew instead of just lifting the typical version that uses venom strikes (like Miles) but doesn't use webs.
26:43 That’s a long list. 1. When running from Alchemax scientists he’s said: “I RUN BETTER THAN I CAN SWING!” 2. Plot armor 3. Main protagonist 4. The others keep getting in each other’s way 5. Miles on overloaded Spider sense. 6. Miles having a plan. (Spoiler alert)
Seeing this film on the big screen is an unforgettable experience. That bagel really hit the spot

Great reaction. Thanks for the time and effort to do these reactions.
Some fun facts about Hobie/Spider-Punk! This incarnation of Hobie is fairly recent, but the character of Hobie Brown dates back all the way to 1969, where he was the original Prowler and became one of Spider-Man's allies fairly early on. He's something of a precursor to Miles in a lot of ways. The Hobie we see here is from a dystopian world dominated by cruel mega corporations, and all the superheroes are anarchistic punks fighting the good fight against them; there's a punk Hulk, Hobie's music idol was his world's version of Gwen Stacy, that world's Captain America is called Captain Anarchy... Hobie himself is apparently doomed to die young and he embraces it, declaring himself a 'radioactive suicide machine'. A lot of his mannerisms here are him deliberately baiting Miguel, waiting for his opportunity to reveal the Spider-Society's flaws.
Miguel himself is also from a dystopian world and he is specifically a cyberpunk protagonist, with the grim outlook that implies; he has had an extremely rough life filled with betrayal, abandonment and constant misery. In his world, all the superheroes died a long time ago, and he was the first of a new age of heroes. He's actually the most moral and upbeat of them, because his world is so grim.
There's little information on what's going on with the Miles we meet at the end of the movie, but apparently he's an anti-hero at worst; his world is apparently run by a criminal cartel that is this world's version of the Sinister Six, so if he seems grim and scary, its because he had to be in order to survive and fight them.
27:44 I don't know what Peter's talking about, babies looove being held like this. It's fun for them.
I loved spotting all the different spider people! They were all familiar to me from comics and animation etc. So much fun!
On a meta level, Miguel being Miles' antagonist/rival in this movie is so interesting...
In the 90's, Marvel launched an initiative called 2099. It was supposed to be the (possible) future of the Marvel Universe, set in the year, you guessed it, 2099. The biggest success of that initiative is Miguel O'Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099.
In the early 2000's Marvel launched another initiative called the Ultimate Universe, and the biggest success of THAT initiative was Miles Morales, AKA Ultimate Spider-Man, AKA Spider-Man II.
For the longest time, Miguel was the heir apparent to the mantel of Spider-Man, until Miles was created, and everything changed.
That's obviously not why Miguel hates Miles in this movie, but I do think it's fascinating that the filmmakers made the two of them rivals, with that history in mind, y'know?
Gwen killing her Peter/Lizard is how things happened in the Spider Gwen comics. Her main villain is Mat Murdock, leader of the Hand and also known as the King Pin
There's so many little bits of perfect setup and storytelling in this movie, but the one I want to focus on right now? The fact that Miles' dad being promoted to Captain is mentioned as the punchline to a blink-and-you-miss-it joke right at the start of the movie, but the writers trust you to be paying enough attention that when it comes up in the third act as a canon event, you think back and go "oh shit, that's RIGHT" instead of going "when was this established?"
10:58
That woman was so chill because she’s from the universe of venom, so she’s seen weird stuff and doesn’t care 😂
The "to be continued" made me wanna give this a standing ovation.
33:25 it's his ZUNCLE!!! 😅😂
Hobie is the heart of this movie!! Don't forget that!! He empowers Miles and Gwen doesn't rally everyone without Hobie!! He's the absolute BEST!!!!
25:46 You could see him use Hobie's advice and use his whole palm.
I was a bit apprehensive when I first saw the trailer for portraying Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 in an antagonistic way because Miguel is a far cry from a villain and he's also my all-time favourite Spider-Man in the comics but the movie did an amazing job for portraying him not as the villain but more like an opposing force. Also just to clarify, he is not part vampire. That was just a joke they made in the movie becuse he has fangs which can secrete paralyzing venom.
I know he's a good guy in the comics, but he sure seems like a villain in this movie.
Damn Hobie got done dirty in this reaction not one bit of appreciation🤦🏿♂️
Some little tidbits: The penguin in Gwens room is a reference to her from Spiderhams universe. She's a penguin in it.
Ben constantly saying things out loud is cause he's from a era were they had thought bubbles constantly appearing so you can hear their thinking.
Gwens comic is actually drawn very similar to how her universe appears.
Miguel is actually from the main comics canon universe originally. He's from the year 2099, and the reason he has to inject himself is cause he's more like a spider than Peter was due to a accident forcing him to use the DNA on himself to survive. Also his suit is just a day of the dead costume he found and tweaked.
I'm glad they did a reference of Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland & Doctor Strange. We needed that ancient history of them.
And who knows, we might see them in Beyond the Spider-Verse
@@raymondmaciel4047 That would awesome 👌.
About Miguel: Everyone is the hero of their own story. But the way he pursues his mission has turned him into a fascist, 'my way is the only right way' kind of dictator of the Spiderverse. My hope for the finale is that Miles will manage to save Jeff, and Miguel will see that it doesn't harm his Earth or the Spiderverse. Also, lesser hope, that through the events of that movie he'll see what actually causes what he saw happen to his adopted family/dimension. It may involve the ongoing work stabilizing Earth-50101 will uncovering that what happened there was about Spot's power and/or the Alchemax collider crashing down, rather than breaking the so-called Canon.
Yep! Remember, the central idea of Spiderman is "With great power comes great responsibility." Miguel doesn't seem to believe in this. Instead, he thinks, "Don't take responsibility. Everything is fated to happen. If you use your power to help people, you only make things worse."
And the idea that the whole universe hangs on one person's life or death is utterly ridiculous. All the uncles, all the police captains, all the girlfriends and boyfriends - they're all mortal, and they're all going to die sooner or later. Why does the universe care if they die a few years earlier or a few years later? How can the laws of physics that hold the universe together possibly be bothered by whether Uncle Ben is shot by a burglar or dies of a natural causes in his sleep? What's so special about this particular person's death? What about all the other tragic deaths that have happened through the thousands of years of human history?
One of the best comic book movie.
V is JohnWick4 reaction still not edited??
That movie was so good to watch! And the soundtrack was super dope to hear! I’m glad that you liked it very much ❤❤❤❤❤
13:12 the song is called Mona Lisa by Dominic Fike! Literally my favorite song from the movie. The entire soundtrack is amazing tho, metro booming absolutely killed it
Miles’ roommate is actually playing the new spider-man game :D it’s a cool little easter egg while also kind of teasing the new game
Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel. Also, she drained Captain Marvel's power. Which is how she died so easily.
I think this movie is in my top 3. I was absolutely flabbergasted by how amazingly awesome it was
I had the biggest smile on my face in the theater when the Miles intro to the movie started and it hit me that so far I had only seen the opening.
That woman who was unphased. The convenience store where Spot took the gum. We’ve seen her before. And the gum is a clue from where. “Venomint”. She owns that store in San Francisco where Eddie Brock/Venom, aka Lethal Protector frequents.
This movie went all over animation and went to a few live action universes with Toby McGuire spiderverse, Andrew Garfield amazing spiderverse, the venomverse, and even MCU with Donald Glover as Prowler locked up in Miguel’s prison thing.
UA-cam recommended this video to me. I remember being excited seeing Lego Spider-Man.
Fun fact: Spider Punk's (Hobie) animation seems chaotic and random, but when he's interacting with someone he cares about, like Gwen, Mayday, or even Hobie, he turns pink!
Pamiętam oglądając ten film w kinie, że od razu zwróciłem uwagę na to że Miles jest w złym świecie. Oczy Rio Morales w jego świecie są brązowe, a w świecie 42 są zielone. No i alternatywna Rio była zdziwiona jego włosami, a przecież widzieli się parę godzin wcześniej. Taki mały detal ;)
I remember watching this movie in the cinema that I immediately noticed that Miles was in a wrong world. Rio Morales' eyes are brown in his world, and green in world 42. And the alternative Rio was surprised by his hair, and they had seen eachother a few hours earlier. Such a small detail ;)
You were so cute geeking out about the artwork of the animation the whole time. Loved it. Also you almost falling out of your chair saying your sooo tight after it ended was how i felt the 1st time watching.
😭that was exactly my reaction when they abruptly ended it! i was like "omgg nooo wayyyy why would you do that!?😭"
but alas.. guess we have to wait for the third one now:)
Best movie I've seen this year. Visuals. Feels. Story. 10/10. Loved it!
Everyone has the same reaction to the end of the movie, it's hilarious 😂
Across The Spider-Verse is one of the best movies I saw this year. That cliffhanger didn't make me mad cause I can wait for the next movie.
Love your reaction, VKunia!!❤️❤️
Miles is able to evade the Spider-Men because they are chasing him, so he's the only one really using spider sense
My Favorite Besides The Original Spiderman I Like Peter Porker Spider Ham But Theank You For Doing a Great Job Migel is Acting Like Batman Does Against Superman When Superman Died
One the few sequels that surpasses the original, but they are both masterpieces
11:05 a 14 year old kid animated all of this lego scenery.
Spider-Man was always my favorite super hero as a kid, so it's so cool to see the title getting so much great representation!
Gwen reacting to her own movies?!
Greatest movie of all time. Though if you heard about the rumors about the animators and the production, they had struggle within. A darkside of the production
“Pushed to work more than 11 hours a day, seven days a week”
I've never heard anyone say they hate Hobie. Wow! lol
I saw this in the theater, no one knew it would be a cliffhanger, and the whole theater was moaning and groaning in shock. I, on the other hand, laughed and shouted, “Chaos!” Not because I’m some cool tough person, this isn’t one of those stories. Because first of all… it was pretty funny. But second… the movie just kept getting more and more intense. You start to expect a movie to peak before a certain point but there was no relief in sight and I was actually kinda exhausted. This made me sad because I wanted to enjoy it and here I was wishing it would end already. So finding out it was a cliffhanger was a relief where everyone else was mad. Fun!
Miguel should have been portrayed as a hero. He’s a really good guy in the comics
He is a hero it's just he's willing to make a sacrifice of one person to save all realities mostly because he's seen a whole world die because of his actions and doesn't want any more to die
Mom - We have Spider-Gwen at home
1:48 - Spider-Gwen at home
Multiply your "NO!!!" by several hundred, and you know what it sounded like in the theater at the end of the movie on opening day.
The Asian woman (live action) is in the Venom Movies.
I’m so happy you appreciated this movie as much as I did. Such a masterpiece! Can’t wait for Part 3!
This movie was perfect. I saw it in the theater and it was a great experience. Glad, I went in not knowing the movie would end in a cliffhanger and that that ending wasn't spoiled for you.; it makes the experience much better.
Fun reaction video. It's particularly good that you didn't know about there being a part 3. Thank you!
Love your outfit! It rocks!
Can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse!
Since you’ve seen the first season of Loki, the Spider Society is pretty much a Spidey-themed TVA. A major difference is that they don’t prune dimensions. Rather, they try to save them from collapsing.
Great reaction and gotta 100% agree, I loved this movie when seeing it for the first time.
This was originally called across the spiderverse part 1 and was split into 2 movies then they changed the name and most people didn’t notice I think they did it so people wouldn’t wait for part 2 to watch them both I knew going in it was split in 2 so I wasn’t surprised but the people in my theater when I saw it lost their shits the next part is called beyond the spiderverse and comes out next year
Love how it did the Miles Gwen romance so naturally and didn’t shy away from both of their faults. Need a happily ever after in Beyond for those two. Gwen Stacy needs a good ending for a change. Like Miles said. First time for everything.
"I gotta hear the Chai about Hobie" was quick-witted
Yay! I found your channel a while ago when I was watching reactions to Into the Spiderverse, and I loved the Gwen costume and how into it you were! You've become one of my favorite media reaction channels and I'm glad you got to this one
10:54 sounds like your next superhero movies should be Venom and Venom: Let There be Carnage.
But that movie's terrible.
@@The_Phantasmthe audience scores say otherwise. Journalists are beyond out of touch.
The Venom movies are trash. They only connect because Sony desperately clutches on to the IP rights.
And I say they are trash as a fan of comics since the 80's and want a true Venom on screen. New fans need to have some standards. It's not just movie critics and journalist that are out of touch.
I loved this film, one of my favorites of the year!
My favorite song on this soundtrack is hummingbird. I listen to it so freaking much. I typically only listen to country and 1970/80s rock like guns and roses and Led Zeppelin but I love the song hummingbird so much
Vicky, unprompted: Chai & tea are the same thing!
Every Indian all of a sudden: feels a disturbance in the force
Nice costume 😊
I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: I can't believe you didn't freak out seeing videogame Spiderman in the Spider HQ
The thing that really resonated with me in this film, and the reason I liked Hobie's rebellious character so much is the way the movie makes a meta-narrative of "canon" representing choice versus destiny in terms of story, and the wider implication of audience expectation versus creative freedom. One of my least favorite tropes in storytelling is giving a character incredible powers to either change their fate or change the timeline at large, and then having the narrative invalidate that character's choices because fate and destiny are deemed more important. It's a way to create drama and subvert some expectations, but stories like that also don't tend to communicate much beyond the idea that again, the character's abilities and choices don't matter in the grand scheme.
And the other part of that is audience expectation of what makes a Spider-Man story "canon." And this is very topical for the character of Miles Morales specifically, because there was a lot of racial backlash both to the Marvel Ultimates comic where Miles debuted, and also to the possibility of the character being played by Donald Glover. "There can't be a black Spider-Man, and if you make one then it's not *canon* ". And while we're on the topic of canonical things not necessarily being good things, the original Gwen Stacy was written to die in the comics because those writers thought she was boring and that Peter would be more interesting paired with MJ, so Gwen got one of the rawest crappy canons in comic's history.
Aside from the clear and harmful tropes in the above, sticking rigidly to established canon can be straight up boring, constantly retreading the same ground with the same characters and familiar character beats, without the opportunity to try new things and make new stories. The Spiderverse films are immensely innovative for more reasons than I could possibly list here, but their commitment to take established stories and characters in new directions is something that puts them leagues ahead of practically every other MCU and superhero property in my mind.
Before Gwen loses her Peter you actually see her, Peter, aunt May, uncle Ben and Captain Stacy sitting round the dinner table. So as well as the spider biting her instead of Peter, none of Peter's 'canon events' occur on Earth-65.
When I first saw it, I didn't expect the to be continued thing at the end. Also awesome suit.
You look great as Spider-Gwen! Glad you chose that costume for your reaction today.
This was absolutely incredible to see in the theater. From Gwen's "mood ring" world, to that spectacular chase scene, to the cliffhanger at the end, there was never a dull moment. And I can understand your frustration at the very end -- even though I knew there was a Part 3 in the works, it was so hard to leave the story hanging like that.
I fully agree with your assessment of Miguel and his character. While not exactly a villain, he's steadily drifting away from being heroic. And yes, he absolutely hates Miles -- his entire attitude when they first met face-to-face exuded disgust and contempt. Miguel is so absolutely convinced of his 'canon event' theory, despite the flaws in it, that he can't entertain the possibility of any other explanation for the dimensional decay that he's witnessed. Trapped in that mindset, I think he needs someone to blame -- and Miles is that someone, no matter how irrational it is to lay the fate of the multiverse on the shoulders of a 15-year-old.
Rather than a favourite moment, there's an Easter egg from the movie that I really like. Among the villains caged at the Spider Society, I'm always hyped to see Video Man. He was an occasionally recurring character on "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends", a cartoon on Saturday morning TV back in the 80s. He's the blue pixel guy with the red eyes and horns. I can't wait to see a reactor who recognizes him!
27:00 "oh that Spider-Man looks sick! Bring him back. Bring him back."
I was surprised to find out (via Marvel Legends action figures) that that is actually a Spider-Woman. Apparently called "Cyborg Spider-Woman."
But yes, she does indeed look awesome and they should bring her back because I definitely want more.
From the little Googling I did I think she's original to this movie and essentially the filmmakers' own spin on an existing male comic book counterpart. Kind of like how they did their own spin on Jessica Drew instead of just lifting the typical version that uses venom strikes (like Miles) but doesn't use webs.
A 13-year-old from Ontario made the LEGO scene, which is incredible
14:26 You ever pull that move on a guy? It's like the "hey" shoulder touch from the first movie.
All things considered, @Vkunia, you make an adorable Spider-Gwen.
10:45 They need to make a Lego Marvel Movie.
26:43 That’s a long list.
1. When running from Alchemax scientists he’s said: “I RUN BETTER THAN I CAN SWING!”
2. Plot armor
3. Main protagonist
4. The others keep getting in each other’s way
5. Miles on overloaded Spider sense.
6. Miles having a plan. (Spoiler alert)
The Chinese woman in the shop that The Spot was talking to,was the shopkeeper from the Tom HARDY Venom MOVIES.
The mother of all cliffhangers ever
