"The hardest thing about this job is...you can't always save everybody." The fact that SPIDER PIG of all people said one of the most devastating lines in the movie absolutely floors me.
@@ChaosLORDish well, I wasn't correcting you, someone else already had, but it looks like they deleted their comment. I was just pointing out a little factoid. ✌😁
The animators purposefully gave Miles a bit of a hitch to his frame rate as he was learning his powers. Later, they made his animations smooth in real time to show how far he's come. So cool!
They also custom built the entire animation system because nothing existing fitted what they wanted to do. It cost a lot of money and time. It was worth it.
@@ZackScroggins If I'm remembering correctly (and I'm probably not) they animated Peter, Gwen, etc. at 60 frames, and Miles at 30 frames. During the escape from the lab, when he and Peter are web slinging, his frames slowly catch up to 60. EDIT: from an excellent comment below, it was 12 and 24 frames. I think I was thinking of video game frame rates with 30 and 60.
“I’m going to miss him. We were friends ya know. It always fits…eventually.” - Stan Lee This cameo hit different since the movie came out after Stan passed away.
"It always fits... eventually" has to be one of my favorite Stan Lee lines in any of his cameos. Perfectly fits the story in this one too. It definitely hit me the first time I watched it.
One of my favorite parts is the little character notes. "Do any of your friends ever call you Doc Ock?" "My friends call me Liv..." then when the villains attack Aunt May's house, May says, "Oh Great, it's Liv!" Mind you in the comics Otto Octavius actually dated Aunt May for a little while. So May and Liv being friends temporarily is a nice touch. Unless they also dated.
@@left8277 - this was actually something Marissa Tomei pitched to the directors of the Home trilogy - not that it would be explicit, but the idea that (in the backstory), sometime after Ben died, May dated/was romantically involved with a woman. They ultimately decided not to go there, though, as the director/producers felt it was too much of a departure from what was portrayed in the comics.
The part where he finally does his leap of faith, the script says "Miles LEAPS! The camera is upside down. Miles isn't falling, he's rising." So damn good.
Also note he always has the sticky hands when he’s “not relaxed” or rather scared. He jumps and rips the glass because he doesn’t know he’s going to make it. He took a leap of faith and literally jumped.
Everyone involved in this film pulled out all the stops. You can feel the love they poured into every frame of it. The writing, the symbolism throughout, the humor... it is incredible. I've loved all the Spiderman films, but this one is a step above.
The great thing about that scene is that this was a part of the original script. I can't believe this was released by the same studio that made the Emoji Movie though. That really bothers me
I recommend the channel Sideways. He has a video about the music of this movie and that scene in particular. Trust me, there's more to it than approximately 90% of people would notice.
I like how it is self aware of the origin story movie trope, by basically telling the audience, yeah, we know you’ve heard this one before, but let’s just get through it as quickly as possible.
"Why am I so emotional invested in all these charcters?!" That is a mark of really good developing! ;) This movie is just simply amazing, I just love everything about it!
Yep! I’ve been reading more about Miles after watching this movie and I thought the games story was great too. Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero since I was a kid and I love Peter Parker but holy sh**! Miles Morales is easily tied! Lol my 2 favorite superhero’s are tied for number 1… Spider-Man and Spider-Man. I really liked how different he is to Peter when fighting and his talking while fighting like usually Spider-Man is always talking while he’s taking down villains Ned cracking random quips and jokes so it’s really interesting how they do it.
I really don't care for all his random powers - they feel too much like lazy writing to me - but that complaint aside, he's definitely the best male Spider-Man after Peter Parker. More than anything, he captures the very spirit of the character that Peter Parker represents, spider-powers be damned.
Fun Fact: To show how Miles is just learning and Peter is very experienced and smooth, they animated Miles at 15 frames per second and Peter at 60 (or was it 24?). Then increased Miles's frame rate as he got better. It's barely noticeable if you look for it but otherwise imperceptible. But it sure has an impact. It's most noticeable in the swinging-through-the-trees scene, after they steal the case.
It was 12 and 24 fps. It's called animating 'on 2's' (12 different frames per second, 24 frames a second) to save time on animation. Peter's animated 'on 1's' (24 different frames per second aka every frame is different).
I'm fairly confident this movie's success is at least part of the reason we're about to get a live action Spider-Man movie with multiverse and multiples Peter Parkers.
I wouldn’t be surprised. As Spider-Man movies go since 2002, this is one of the best non-and just terms of action and animation, I would say in terms of story as well.
My late Father said once when we were talking about comics/superheroes that Spider-Man was the most realistic to him cause usually in comics/movies the person becomes and superhero and everything is great. Peter becomes Spider-Man and it only complicates his life even more than before. This movie I think represents that 100% and I'm here for it.
- If you and your Dad haven't watched "The Boyz" yet, that is a REALLY realistic version of 'Super Heros' - real people with real problems, it's a messed up and awesome show. My only slightly spoiler-ish statement will be this :: Homelander
It's ok to cry during this. I've watched it like 5+ times, and I still cry during it. There are so many new details that I pick up on each time I watch, and it makes the emotional moments hit that much harder. Things like how MIles' spider sense was purple and green at first, the same color as Prowler's. It could mean that Miles was on his way toward being a villain just like his uncle, and meeting Peter changed his colors to blue and red, like that moment changed his destiny.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but IIRC Miles' spidey sense doesn't go off at that moment, maybe because some part of him knows that Aaron would never hurt him
This is not only one of the best Spider-Man movies, it’s one of the best movies ever. One of the finest animated as well; nearly every paused frame is like a page from a comic book with a little something extra to it… I was blown away by how good this was and I can’t wait for the sequel!
This movie is literally a moving comic book it’s awesome. Like seriously when it does those action flashes you could pause and it would look like a poster or a splash page in a comic. I love it.
It’s not just you, Natalie. I was totally unprepared for the emotional weight and complexity of this movie, never mind its truly fantastic animation and storytelling! Keep up the great work! ♥️
It was so wholesome watching Natalie’s surprise at how good this movie was. Hoping-that she rewatches this as many times as most of us have. Definitely top 5 super hero ( comic book ) movies of all times.
@@SKUMDOGMATT You said definitely #1 then you said arguably the best.. Which means you haven't even made up your own mind that it's definitely #1 if it's still only arguable.
It's my absolute favorite super hero movie of all time... Top 10 movie... Maybe even top 5. I might have seen it 10 times and just in generat thought and theorized about it a whole lot.
My personal favorite moment in this whole movie is at the end when Spider-Man noir says "I, uh, love you all". Just him being unsure how to express his feelings and almost being embarrassed to say it was so sweet. Unironically one of nic cage's strongest performances
Classic Natalie, missing the post credit scene, lol. Don’t ever change! Also, you really need to make it a point to watch both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films before No Way Home comes out. I won’t say more, but trust me on this.
For a TON of people, including myself, this is the best Spider-Man movie (and superhero movie) of all time. It pays homage to the Peter Parker lore and story that we all know and grew up with, and at the same time it passes the torch and sends the message that anyone can do what he does for others. A lot of superhero media these days get super cynical about heroism and the fact that figures like Spider-Man are an idea, not a person. That's true, but this movie turns that into something beautiful and empowering. This movie is just so special. I've never stopped loving superheroes, but every time I watch Into the Spider-Verse, it really makes me feel like an inspired kid again.
@@cjtrules1 I can't wait for Natalie to react to this. But honestly, she really should be going to the theatre for the next one, cause Across the Spider Verse took it to a whole another level.
@@crimsonghoul8983 I agree with going to the theater. There are certain movies you need to experience in the theater (which is why I believe they will never go away completely).
It's important to know that these are mostly versions of Spidey that have appeared in actual comics. Or the ones that aren't are similar to comic alternatives but further evolved. The silliest seeming one, Spider-Ham, goes all the way back to the 1980s I think. Spider-Gwen has been a huge alternate universe Spidey with her own book for about seven or eight years now. The older Peter is unique here, but with a TON of influences from flashed forward versions of him. The specific Noir and Anime versions are both new, but OTHER Noir and Anime versions of Spidey have had brief appearances in comics. This is ALL tribute, the whole movie, while done SO well even people who didn't know those inspirations enjoyed it.
Peni Parker as a character was not created for the movie, but for the comic spiderverse event. Her comic book counterpart had more clear evangelion influence, but her origin story is the same.
- I sure hope at some point they bring some of these characters back for the Marvel Universe in Future films - Miles for absolute sure should at some point be re-introduced, and honestly, I'd really like to see Black & White Spiderman, he was kind of my favorite alternate, but Peter B. and Gwen were both pretty cool. Maybe this can possibly now come to pass considering the whole Multiverse thing has been opened up, would enjoy seeing some of them again, although perhaps in non-animated versions, since "technically" only the spider Pig was a cartoon, so it implies the rest of them were not animated makes this a possibility.
Yeah Carolus above me is right, the older Spider-Man, Peter B Parker is based completely off the original iteration of Spider-Man the amazing Spider-Man created by Stan lee and Steve Dittko that ran for 600 issues over the span of a decade or two. In which he does all the things he said in his movie, married Mary Jane, had to bury Aunt May and got divorced. By the end of that comic run he was quite old. It’s never really stated but some where around 30-35 years old. And so this version of him is just that Spider-Man, pulled from between the time that Aunt May died and him and MJ getting back together.
In the comics, Gwen has dimension hopping powers. That's why she's a little better with the whole thing than the others are. I'm really excited for the sequel.
In the comics, she was given dimension hopping tech, not powers and she got that after Spiderverse as a member of the Web Warriors. This has literally nothing to do with the movie. She's better because Miles just got his powers and Peter B Parker is in the middle of a depression
Right. I wasn't gonna get into the tech thing in a short comment. I figured that was also gow she was able to talk to Miles at the very end of the movie after the collider was destroyed.
@@katrinalehto8767 Dimension hopping powers is a bit misleading in your comment. I did remember watching the end credit and having a tech for it makes sense and but power? That’ll make her OP and something like an eternal should have not a teenager
Best Spider-Man movie ever? Yes One of the best superhero movies ever? Yes One of the best animated movies ever? Yes One of the best movies ever made? Possibly
@@Light-Rock97 That, and to be absolutely indestructible like The Tick. None of this weeny "healing factor" nonsense. Just made of neutron star stuff or something.
“How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up….it’s a leap of faith” this imo is the best part of the movie. I cry everything I see this every viewing of the movie. I feel like we all can relate to this statement. Peter B Parker is my favorite character and portrayal of Spider-Man From all the movies. Love his character development it’s amazing.
17:26 "Why is he so comically big?" Kingpin incredibly strong; one of his classic lines from the 90's animated series is that only 2% of his mass is fat, and other the 350 lbs is all muscle. That's a _lot_ of bulk. He's basically as strong as a human can possibly be without having any superpowers.
I think there was an origin story that as a child he was chubby and got bullied so he made himself strong enough to take revenge and ended up becoming basically a wall of muscle.
The "Leap of Faith" scene is my favorite movie scene of all time & it completely took me by surprise. So much subtext, meaning and parallels in that scene that is just absolutely amazing/motivating.
Ever noticed how he doesn't swing as much, but uses waaay more parkour? Like uncle Aaron, RIP. It's no accident that Prowler's sound design sounds very similar to the drone that starts What's Up Danger. FUCKING LOVE IT
So fun fact, you've actually seen Miles' uncle Aaron before in the MCU. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the random criminal who he tracked down and cornered in the parking garage by webbing him to his car trunk was Aaron Davis, Miles' uncle. That Aaron even makes a mention of "having a nephew in the neighborhood" as well as a deleted extended version of the scene flat out having Aaron call Miles directly once Peter left after the interrogation.
- OMG that is so cool, maybe he never ended up becoming 'Prowler' because of that, and ends up being a good guy. And now I'm pretty annoyed that they cut that out, him calling Miles would have been so cool, and make it a lot easier to have people actually know and understand the reference of this character, I mean I'm not 100% aware of every little Marvel Universe detail, but just hearing him say "Miles" on the phone might have clicked for me, since I basically know about who Miles Morales is. Although, now I'm a little confused, if Mile is Morales, then his Dad would be Morales, so since Aaron is his fathers brother, wouldn't that make him a Morales also? Why is he Aaron Davis? Just curious.
@@Arthaius Technically Miles' father is Jefferson Davis, Morales is the mother's last name. Because he was born with the same name as the President of the Confederate States of America's name, Jefferson legally changed his name from Davis to Morales when he married his wife, taking her last name instead. This made Miles into Miles Morales rather than Miles Davis like he'd otherwise be. Aaron didn't change his name, keeping himself as Aaron Davis.
@@ArthaiusI’m super late but basically Jefferson and Aaron’s dad was in a gang and they were raised in that gang and did a lot of bad stuff, Obviously Jefferson grew out of it and it’s also why his relationship with Aaron is iffy, Aaron didn’t completely leave that life. Jefferson hated what his father made him do so when he married he had Miles take his mothers last name to make sure Miles didn’t have a connection to that aspect of his life.
This is a an S-Tier example of writing and story telling , it is an underrated aspect beside the artstyle, which i think allowed so many people to harmonize with the unique aesthetic and enhanced it (as the artstyle does with the writing).
I remember showing this movie to my girlfriend, and we had watched some pretty emotional movies before but I had never seen her cry until then (this was fairly early in our relationship). But when Miles was holding Peter over the portal and they had that "How do I know I'm not going to mess it up again?" exhange, I remember turning to see her tear up and I was honestly surprised (in a positive way) :D It made me happy to see her care about the characters that much, especially when she had said earlier that she didn't care about superhero movies. I love this film.
I had a moment like this when I watched Wonder Woman (2017) with my partner in the theater. We had been dating for 3 years already, but I will never forget turning to look at him and seeing him tearing up at the No Man's Land scene just like I was. Anyone who shits on superhero movies as a genre has no idea what kind of emotional impact scenes like these can have on us.
The genuine emotion of of "I'm going to miss him" to the shameless hucksterism of "No refunds or exchanges, ever" and back to the "It always fits, eventually" which flawlessly blends the emotional storyteller AND the conman is literally the perfect summary of Stan Lee.
I honestly went into this movie skeptical, but I walked out loving it. Never thought I'd say that a Miles Morales movie would be in the running for my favorite Spider-Man movie. The animation and art style was fantastic, the voice casting was fantastic, the comedy and action were fantastic. Everything was really well done. The end credits scenes were cool too. They teased Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) for the sequel, and they did the glorious pointing Spider-Man meme. I'm probably looking forward more to this movie's sequel than I am Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Best Spider-Man movie ever made... The work done in this production is unprecedented. They were able to communicate so much with micro-expressions, animation, voice, music/score and context of dialogue. This is a true piece of art (no exaggeration)
That "leap of faith" scene where Miles finally becomes Spider Man is my favourite scene in any superhero movie. It's perfect. And I love the little detail that the glass breaks when he lets go of the building because he's still scared/has doubts. It's only in the fall that he fully embraces who he is.
I'm not a comic book, superhero addict by any stretch but I honestly think I could count this as one of my favorite movies. I was totally taken aback by it while hanging out with my young niece and nephew. They wanted to watch it and I could not take my eyes off of it. Beautiful, clever, funny, emotional....just so, so good!
Man I love when kids love a really wonderful movie and you can watch it with them. Possibly in part because of all of the horrible movies you have to watch on repeat most of the time. But also because of how they see things we might be too cynical to appreciate.
Miles looks at Spiderman's suit twice, the first time when he arrives at aunt may's hangout, and his reflection puts his face at the chest, and the second time when he is ready to actually become spiderman, and the reflection is overlapping the suit because it fits him now. this movie is just great
I'm glad you actually got that scene, when Peter says, "How do I know I'm not gonna mess it up again?" I guess, maybe some people haven't gone through enough in their life to get it. Peter wanted to die with dignity, after enduring so much emotional pain. He had given up on his life and was afraid to go back and try to live. But.. trusting yourself, believing in yourself, taking that leap of faith.. The scene spoke to my soul, and helped pick me up out of a dark place. Kind of hilarious that it's a Spiderman movie, but there was so much heart. Spiderman always had so much heart. Guess that's why he was always my favorite character.
*FUN FACT* Miles is animated at 12 frames per second in the beginning of the film, instead of 24 frames per second like everything else, including the more well reformed spider-men. This helps give him a “clunkier” feeling. Over the movie as he learns to use his powers, his frame rate catches up to 24 frames per second making him seem much more fluid in movement, like a well practiced spider-man.
For added fun, this change in Miles' frame rate happens during the "thwip and release" part of the web swinging training as they try to escape from Doc Ock.
This movie is easily top tier comic book movies ever. Its hilarious, has a great story, is surprisingly heart wrenching, and the animation is absolutely mindblowing
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. When I first watched it I never expected it to be as amazing as it was. The cast is incredible, the writing and script are wonderful, the art style is SOOO good and the soundtrack is fantastic. Bring on the sequel!!!
This is such a great movie to rewatch because you notice new things. When the explosion first happens at the beginning you can see the other spider people get blasted out of it.
@@blakekeewei Spiderman is a bit higher in terms of animation, just because its shorter and they have put a lot more thought into it in certain scenes, ( ofc, because they were able to, given the length of the material ) - its a movie after all, not a series, but yeah, Arcane is dope as hell, not only as animation (which, yeah, could be comparable in action scenes with Spiderverse easily), but also story is really engaging so far. Really good show. Im still amazed it CAN be compared to one of the best animated movies ever and each episode is an hour long!
The amount of symbolism in this movie is so hard to catch its crazy, I love it. Also Nicolas Cage as the noir spiderman never gets old to me Edit: I also loved how underrated this movie was. During a time of avengers, they made an animated spiderman movie. But then people saw it and DAMN did this movie blow up. Its AMAZING
The part of this movie that got me right in the feels, was the part where Miles' dad was trying to connect with him through his college room door, and Miles couldn't talk to him because he was tied and gagged in his Spiderman suit, I was trying to hold those tears back. It got me. And the part where his uncle died in the alley...
Besides what Spider-Man Far From Home had, this film greatly gives you the taste of what the Spidey multiverse truely has and No Way Home is the real next chapter. As a black kid this film spoke to me in alot of ways and happy that it even exists. Thanks for seeing it Natalie 💛
This honestly should have at least been nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. I know it won Best Animated Feature, but it deserves so much more.
Do they even give animated films best picture? It won Best Animated Feature, that’s literally the best award it possibly could’ve won. What else do you want?
@@ParzivalTheThird - they nominated Beauty and the Beast for Best Picture but it lost to Silence of the Lambs. Best Animated Oscar is a category that's only been around since 2001, and the first one went to Shrek, in a year where the only competition was Monsters Inc and Jimmy Neutron. Best Animated Feature was created to keep animation and live action from being treated as equally valid Best Picture choices, perpetuating the ghettoization of the medium.
They had an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film as far back as 1932. Animated feature films were nominated for Best Picture in only three cases: 1991, 2009 and 2010. Beauty and the Beast is the only animated-feature film Best Picture nominee before the inception of Best Animated Feature and in the five-nominee format. Up and Toy Story 3 were both nominated after the inception of the animated feature category and in the expanded ten-nominee format. So Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid - hell, even The Lion King. None of these rated even an outside-odds nomination in their year of release and the idea of actually including a Best Animated category took 70+ years, with only special or honorary awards even recognising the medium outside of shorts. Even then, there have beem something 9 honorary or "special recognition" awards of this type were for Walt Disney himself, in whay feels like a case of self dealing. Does that sound like an artistic body that values and respects animation to you? Not for one moment.
At 8:20 I just CANNOT get over the genius representation of the Spidey-Sense here. Its all the warnings screaming out at him all at once without any sound and its SO GOOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE
This was definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies made and blends the comic world and the cinema world together really well. One of my favorite little details is when Doc Ock says her friends call her Liv and then when she shows up Aunt May goes "Oh great, its Liv." It's fun to imagine like them having tea and hanging out in between the whole trying to get Spider-Man thing. Also, the end credits meme bit. Good stuff.
Easily one of my favorite Spider-Man movies. Cleverly done, emotional impact, lots of humor. Even after watching it several times, it still hits home. ❤️
@@asifscool2811 Never understood why reactors can't just watch a bit longer (or even skim through the credits) to see if there is a post-credits scene. What are they in a hurry for?
@@arkanesociety she always forgets. At the start of x-men first class, she went back and watched the post credits scene from a couple of previous x-men movies she'd reacteed to, where she'd missed them, and apologized for always forgetting to check for them. Then she made a point of staying around for the post credits scene on first class and of course it didn't have any.
This and Logan are basically the two genre-breaking superhero movies, for very, very different reasons. This was an amazing film. I'd highly recommend watching the "Everything Great About" video on this one - it points out SO MANY cool things that make this movie so wonderful!
This is without a doubt my favorite Spider-Man movie, and very close if not my favorite movie, period. It's done so well, the characters, the animation, the development, the pacing; it's spectacular. Can't wait to see the new one when it comes out.
There is so much in this movie. Literally every scene you can go frame by frame and find something. There are callbacks later in the film from things that happened earlier. A lot of animation specific things. Of course a ton of comic specific things. It's such a brilliant film and was my favorite comic book movie ever until Across the Spider-Verse came out.
This movie is legit one of the best animated movies of the 00's and perhaps of all time. The way they fused really old skool techniques and super modern techniques to create a unique blend is super impressive. The colour pallette, the framing, the style choices per scene, all help convey that comic book feel, while also feeling like a fresh take on it. Also have to mention my favourite joke is "BAGEL!". Peter B Parker steals someone's bagel, and later throws it's away, hitting the guy in the face he took it from, and there's a big "BAGEL!" exlamation when that happens.
My favourite part of this movie was the message. "Anyone can wear the mask, you can wear the mask". I worked at a movie theatre during the time this movie was released and I remember seeing kids, from all ethnic backgrounds, leaving screens happy and excited, but most of all... Inspired.
Easily one of my Top 10 favorite animated movies! The artstyle and animation really sell you and definitely set a standard for most animated films to follow if creators seek inspiration. It’s clear this film was not cheap to make at all, and the people working behind the scene earned those profits and awards. I was actually talking to friends about the movie yesterday, and I’m not surprised the trailer for the sequel hasn’t arrived yet. Like I said, this movie was NOT cheap (also covid might’ve impacted production in some way)
The amount of symbolism and details that take place in this movie is incredible (which just shows how passionate the movie's creators were). When OG Spiderman first saves Miles and the two sense each other, OG Spiderman has his standard red/blue background while Miles has a green/purple background. However, within a second or two, Miles's background colors change to red/blue; indicating a change in his destiny. When Miles first attempts (and fails) to jump across buildings, we get the "Ahhhhh" following him down to the street. However, when he finally succeeds, we get the "Wooooo" following him up as he rises. They still make use of comic style onamonapia even though it is unnecessary in a movie; to the point that when Peter B throws his bagel at someone and it hits him, we get the "Bagel" onamonapia of it hitting him. When you get the city view of the first supercollider explosion, you can see the five white trails of the extra-dimensional spider-people coming here. You can tell Gwen is trained in ballet with her shoes and the way she puts her feet down when we first see Spider-Gwen. One other thing they made great use of is in subverting expectations (indeed, they emphasis it by having Miles write a paper about the book, "Great Expectations"). You get the build up of the music as he's considering doing his jump; and then quite as he goes back down the stairs. You get this big moment as the spider bites him...and he just slaps it off him in an "eh, whatever" style. You think it's the Prowler sneaking up behind Miles when he's at Peter's grave and it turns out to be Peter B. You're expecting a big fight with Doc Ock as she approaches, only for her to get run over by a semi. It really is a masterpiece in story telling.
Honestly, this movie _really_ benefits from a second and third viewing. There's so many little background details that you simply cannot see on only one viewing. Best. Spider-Man. Movie. Hands _down._
@@thereallycool There is so much going on in the scene in Aunt May's living room, from Aunt May sliding a coaster under a cup as Spider-Ham sets it down, to Penny coming out of the kitchen on "heely shoes" (wheels in the heels.) Everybody focuses on Spider-Man Noir and the Rubik's Cube, but there's so much more going on.
Ever since I first saw it in the theater, and every single time I watch it, the Stan Lee line "It always fits - eventually" turns me into a human waterfall. Thank you for the video, Nat and the team! It really made my day!
I don't think I've ever left the theater in a better mood than I was after this movie. I was just grinning like an idiot. This movie absolutely blew my mind. It was so, so much better than it had any right to be. And it's a total love letter to long-time Spider-fans.
This movie is the best movie I've ever seen. The way the story is played and creates such a relatable story in such little time in a way no other movie has before. Love this
Fun details but Miles universe is the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) which was created as a re-imagined and modernized versions of the Marvel superhero's from the main Prime Universe (Earth-616) with both large and small changes starting with Ultimate in the year 2000. It stated out great with Spider-Man and X-Men which were more based on the Film in terms of artistic darker more militant uniforms but it started to go downhill which some weird choices. Some changes you may noticed is the Green Goblin who's a lot closer to his monster Ultimate version than a man in a Goblin suit like we see in the main comic and in Spider-Man 1 for example along with most versions of the character in media. Peter B Parker the one sucked into Miles universe is from Earth-616 the main comic Universe where everything is alot closer to ours like the brand names, In Miles universe there's some weird spelling differences and the NYPD is called the PDNY in Miles universe which is pretty interesting it's like our own universe but a little different the adverts, movies, and even car brands reflect this. But yeah Miles always existed in a separate universe from the Spider-Man of Earth-616 instead he existed in a world with the Ultimate Spider-Man who wasn't that different to the 616 counterpart he was just a little bit shorter in his teens. This is the same with a lot of the Ultimate versions of characters like i said reimagined. Pretty much all Spider-Men are based somewhat on the Earth-616 Spider-Man even the movies so they all share many elements from origin story to suit and appearance there's just many different Peter Parkers like what we saw in Loki from games to movies and comic's.
In fact Peter B. Parker IS the Spiderman from Earth 616, just from a ways in the future. You can see their Earth designations on a computer screen at one point. The B middle initial is likely due to the whole clone saga from the comics. Plus there's the fact that Peter B. was obviously the beneficiary of the infamous "Parker luck", while everything seemed to be going great for golden boy Parker, at least until his death.
@@tkbwanfor8098 Oh yeah no doubt it has another name in Miles universe but all it means is San Diego "Comic Book Convention" it's a very straight forward name.
Something people don't realize is that Miles Morales was animated in 12 frames per second when he was learning how to use his powers and when he was stressed throughout the whole first half of the movie, but in the end when he takes the leap of faith and becomes a real "spider-man" he is like the others and animated in 24 frames showing his transition. That's just one of hundreds of details they threw in. So much more about this movie, both artistically and cinematically, just works so well.
This is fully my favorite spiderman movie. It all just hits so well. There are bits that get me to break down still even after having it seen 5 or 6 times. The Stan Lee cameo is my favorite of all of them too. Saw this in theatres and it was so soon after his death that it really hit me
The scene that always gets to me is near the end when Peter says to miles “what If I mess up?”/ leap of faith scene. Just the delivery,full circle and relatable moment that always gets me a bit misty in the eyes without fail. As a huge comics fan (marvel, dc and various other publishers, and manga), I really loved this movie and all the visual interpretations/styles since the best comics always have the most stylistic flair. The movie was proof that you can fully embrace what makes comics work as a medium and display that to a wider audience both narratively and stylistically. I dug that they took inspiration from Bill Siencwick’s version of kingpin which was perfect for this movie. People forget that Spider-Man although light hearted on the surface often deals with heavy subject matter, yet what makes him so endearing is despite failure and dark circumstances is the willingness to do his best, regardless of variation or iteration. Also I must say , this is the best adapted version of Peter Parker that really captures the essence of the older counter part of the comics. Just a great movie.I can’t wait for the sequel to see what other iterations of the other universes (comics, and media) that they’ll incorporate in the sequel.
"Is that how Spider Sense looks like in the comics?" In the classic comics before digital art, it is... and it's interesting they chose that style. While digital art and the movies have done a lot adding things to how Spider Man's acts can look like, some things have not been quite well translated yet, like the Spider Sense. While we know it's between a discomfort and some sort of "premonition" indicating danger, the comics chose to save themselves the problem of getting too deep into the mechanisms of "how it should look like?" that they just put the waving lines. The 90's animated cartoon did some high contrast images and sounds to illustrate it, which looks cool but it takes time to be displayed, the 2000 films made this like "beeing to aware of all your surroundings" that also looks kind of cool, but takes even more time (for the car reveal in Spider Man 2, works nicely)... so, yeah, it was a nod for comic lovers and an interesting choice to just show Spider Sense is kicking in, without complicating things. "Is there Spider Woman?" As a matter of fact... several XD. Each one with different styles (and in the comics most of them belong to the same universe :P). But one of the latest additions to the Spider Verse family is the character of Spider-Gwen (yep, that's actually the title of her comic), from a universe where Peter Parker dies and her friend Gwen Stacy becomes the wall crawler of her universe. Which takes us to... "Gwen Stacy" Mostly forgotten in several adaptations of the comic (like the 2000 films, or the animated series of the 1990's), Gwen Stacy was one of he very few friends of Parker as he grew up both as a teen and as Spider Man. The story of this character, while ignored later by the adaptations, is a cornerstone of Spider Man's growth both as a hero and as person, she even (kind of) helped Mary Jane Watson to become the redhead audiences love and Parker's wife later on (because in the first years of he comic she was one of the popular girls of school who acted as if she owned the world just because she was pretty). And I think we can leave it there, because if you will watch the movies then you'll meet the story of Gwen Stacy in the Andrew Garfield movies. I'll end this just by saying that seeing the character make a strong come back in this form was refreshing. "I didn't expect Spider Man to be like this" While Spider Man is one of the youngest super heroes of the Marvel Universe (in the regular sense its been adapted), Spider Man has a tendency to hit always those "growing pains" strings, not only because of the Uncle Ben story. Spider Man is, basically, a self made hero: he never got classes, he didn't have a mentor of sorts... he just jumped right into the action after deciding to stand up for his beliefs and has endured the ups and downs, and all the blows life (the writers) has thrown to him... some more devastating than others and how, even in the presence of loss, if you still have things to do, you go on (even when you need, sometimes, to cry under the shower still wearing the suit XD). And that would be it, it was a nice ride seeing you discovering the multiverse, the Spider Verse and this particular film :). See you in the next one.
One cool detail they added in this movie is when you see Peter and Miles swinging for the first time in the woods, Peter is swinging at a smoother motion and Miles movement is choppy and almost laggy. Miles towards the end of the movie becomes more fluid in his movement to represent how far he came.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse turns 5! I remember seeing it with my sister Cara and her boyfriend Jim in Victor this is another one of my favorite Spider-Man movies the movie has a lot of charm to it by making so many callbacks to previous media forms of Spider-Man from his comic debut in 1962 to a Christmas album to the Sam Raimi movies to his Aunt May to Mary Jane Watson to Donald Glover to a Spider-lair full of vehicles and various suits but also making a few new changes like a female version of Dock Ock fantastic voice acting from Hailee Steinfeld to Liev Schrieber to Nicholas Cage, stunning animation making the whole thing feel like an actual comic book moving from page-to-page, a sufficient amount of heart, exciting action, one hell of a twist in the middle, and a ton of humor it's also got a killer soundtrack MIles still has a lot of learn in order to be his best version of himself not copy others, his family doesn't run away from things, the hardest part of the job is knowing you can't save everyone, and figuring out who he wants to be may just be the key to rising to the occasion it's also kinda nice to see Stan Lee in one of his last cameos the movie has some great messages for everyone not just Spider-Man/comic fans to pick up on; each of us in a way has a power of our own to help the world, anyone can be a superhero in their own way, all it takes is a leap of faith to succeed as well a few side villains could have been cut and it was disappointing most of the footage from the trailers didnt make the final cut still, SONY and Marvel seem to be on a the right track and I'm very happy they're still moving forward making more side stories and spinoffs :)
This is one of the best Animated Films ever made, Im so glad more and more people are watching it. Edit: I also find that the less people know about it, the more enjoyable their reactions are.
How do you miss every end credits bit? Lol! There's some great animation tricks in this that you don't realize. Miles is animated in fewer frames rates to make his moves more choppy. Once he starts swinging along side Peter his frame rate picks up.
"The hardest thing about this job is...you can't always save everybody." The fact that SPIDER PIG of all people said one of the most devastating lines in the movie absolutely floors me.
Spider Ham is, if I'm not mistaken, the oldest alternate universe version of Spidey, had his own comic back in the 80s.

The animators purposefully gave Miles a bit of a hitch to his frame rate as he was learning his powers. Later, they made his animations smooth in real time to show how far he's come. So cool!
i realised the animation got much smoother after he took the leap of faith but i didn’t know that that was the reason. that’s so cool :D
They also custom built the entire animation system because nothing existing fitted what they wanted to do.
It cost a lot of money and time. It was worth it.
Yeah, they animated him at like, half the frame rate or something like that, while he was learning.
@@ZackScroggins If I'm remembering correctly (and I'm probably not) they animated Peter, Gwen, etc. at 60 frames, and Miles at 30 frames. During the escape from the lab, when he and Peter are web slinging, his frames slowly catch up to 60.
EDIT: from an excellent comment below, it was 12 and 24 frames. I think I was thinking of video game frame rates with 30 and 60.

This cameo hit different since the movie came out after Stan passed away.
"It always fits... eventually" has to be one of my favorite Stan Lee lines in any of his cameos. Perfectly fits the story in this one too. It definitely hit me the first time I watched it.
@@Lunanburg And still gets the comedy moment of the subtle pan over to the "no returns!" sign. lol
true I miss him
That's my favorite Stan Lee cameo. It gets me every time.
Who tf cares about him? Steve Ditko created Spider-Man, Stan Lee just stole all the credit.
One of my favorite parts is the little character notes. "Do any of your friends ever call you Doc Ock?" "My friends call me Liv..." then when the villains attack Aunt May's house, May says, "Oh Great, it's Liv!" Mind you in the comics Otto Octavius actually dated Aunt May for a little while. So May and Liv being friends temporarily is a nice touch. Unless they also dated.
Aunt May bisexual icon
Lmao, def something to be considered if they did date
@@left8277 - this was actually something Marissa Tomei pitched to the directors of the Home trilogy - not that it would be explicit, but the idea that (in the backstory), sometime after Ben died, May dated/was romantically involved with a woman. They ultimately decided not to go there, though, as the director/producers felt it was too much of a departure from what was portrayed in the comics.
Wait really?
Well, Lily Tomlin plays May, and she is gay.
🤷🏻♀️
The part where he finally does his leap of faith, the script says "Miles LEAPS! The camera is upside down. Miles isn't falling, he's rising."
So damn good.
Really just showed how much passion and care the writers put into the story. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to call this one a masterpiece.
Also note he always has the sticky hands when he’s “not relaxed” or rather scared. He jumps and rips the glass because he doesn’t know he’s going to make it. He took a leap of faith and literally jumped.
Everyone involved in this film pulled out all the stops. You can feel the love they poured into every frame of it. The writing, the symbolism throughout, the humor... it is incredible. I've loved all the Spiderman films, but this one is a step above.
The great thing about that scene is that this was a part of the original script.
I can't believe this was released by the same studio that made the Emoji Movie though. That really bothers me
@@RoffeDH its the difference between a project people are pationate about and a project being made just for the purpose of making a movie
The 'leap of faith' sequence is one of the greatest scenes in a movie ever, animated or otherwise. The music, the animation, everything.
I recommend the channel Sideways. He has a video about the music of this movie and that scene in particular. Trust me, there's more to it than approximately 90% of people would notice.

This movie is just simply amazing, I just love everything about it!
Miles, despite a rocky beginning in comics and taking a while to be accepted, is objectively one of the best Spider-Men ever made to date.
after spiderverse miles morales fanbase raised to 100%
Yep! I’ve been reading more about Miles after watching this movie and I thought the games story was great too. Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero since I was a kid and I love Peter Parker but holy sh**! Miles Morales is easily tied! Lol my 2 favorite superhero’s are tied for number 1… Spider-Man and Spider-Man. I really liked how different he is to Peter when fighting and his talking while fighting like usually Spider-Man is always talking while he’s taking down villains Ned cracking random quips and jokes so it’s really interesting how they do it.
Miles and Gwen
and he only gets better!
I really don't care for all his random powers - they feel too much like lazy writing to me - but that complaint aside, he's definitely the best male Spider-Man after Peter Parker. More than anything, he captures the very spirit of the character that Peter Parker represents, spider-powers be damned.
and the line "we don't pick the ball room, we just dance" is so good Nick cage killed it as spiderman noir
He's got an incredible voice for voice acting. I think he's great in The Croods as well.
Fun Fact: To show how Miles is just learning and Peter is very experienced and smooth, they animated Miles at 15 frames per second and Peter at 60 (or was it 24?). Then increased Miles's frame rate as he got better. It's barely noticeable if you look for it but otherwise imperceptible. But it sure has an impact. It's most noticeable in the swinging-through-the-trees scene, after they steal the case.
Another fun fact is that Peni Parkers lip flaps never synchronized with her dialog. Just like most English dub of anime
It was 12 and 24 fps.
It's called animating 'on 2's' (12 different frames per second, 24 frames a second) to save time on animation. Peter's animated 'on 1's' (24 different frames per second aka every frame is different).
That's so cool
12 and 24 if I remember correctly
I swear the "12 and 24 fps" trivia fact is becoming the new "Viggo Mortensen broke his toe kicking that helmet".
I'm fairly confident this movie's success is at least part of the reason we're about to get a live action Spider-Man movie with multiverse and multiples Peter Parkers.
I hope some of the Spider-peeps from this show up in No Way Home (3 weeks and counting!).
@@michaelm.1947 That would actually be crazy to see an animated Spider-Man.
@@michaelm.1947 imagine noir
No doubt!
I wouldn’t be surprised. As Spider-Man movies go since 2002, this is one of the best non-and just terms of action and animation, I would say in terms of story as well.
My late Father said once when we were talking about comics/superheroes that Spider-Man was the most realistic to him cause usually in comics/movies the person becomes and superhero and everything is great. Peter becomes Spider-Man and it only complicates his life even more than before. This movie I think represents that 100% and I'm here for it.
- If you and your Dad haven't watched "The Boyz" yet, that is a REALLY realistic version of 'Super Heros' - real people with real problems, it's a messed up and awesome show.
My only slightly spoiler-ish statement will be this :: Homelander
It's ok to cry during this. I've watched it like 5+ times, and I still cry during it. There are so many new details that I pick up on each time I watch, and it makes the emotional moments hit that much harder. Things like how MIles' spider sense was purple and green at first, the same color as Prowler's. It could mean that Miles was on his way toward being a villain just like his uncle, and meeting Peter changed his colors to blue and red, like that moment changed his destiny.
- Wow.... I never would have picked up on that, you picked up on something so subtle man... bravo.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but IIRC Miles' spidey sense doesn't go off at that moment, maybe because some part of him knows that Aaron would never hurt him
This is not only one of the best Spider-Man movies, it’s one of the best movies ever. One of the finest animated as well; nearly every paused frame is like a page from a comic book with a little something extra to it… I was blown away by how good this was and I can’t wait for the sequel!

Probably "Who's that? What's that? What?"
For a TON of people, including myself, this is the best Spider-Man movie (and superhero movie) of all time. It pays homage to the Peter Parker lore and story that we all know and grew up with, and at the same time it passes the torch and sends the message that anyone can do what he does for others. A lot of superhero media these days get super cynical about heroism and the fact that figures like Spider-Man are an idea, not a person. That's true, but this movie turns that into something beautiful and empowering. This movie is just so special. I've never stopped loving superheroes, but every time I watch Into the Spider-Verse, it really makes me feel like an inspired kid again.
It is the best superhero movie of all time but Across the Spider-Verse blows it completely out of the water somehow. Two insanely perfect movies.
@@cjtrules1 I can't wait for Natalie to react to this. But honestly, she really should be going to the theatre for the next one, cause Across the Spider Verse took it to a whole another level.
@@crimsonghoul8983 I agree with going to the theater. There are certain movies you need to experience in the theater (which is why I believe they will never go away completely).
It's important to know that these are mostly versions of Spidey that have appeared in actual comics. Or the ones that aren't are similar to comic alternatives but further evolved. The silliest seeming one, Spider-Ham, goes all the way back to the 1980s I think. Spider-Gwen has been a huge alternate universe Spidey with her own book for about seven or eight years now. The older Peter is unique here, but with a TON of influences from flashed forward versions of him. The specific Noir and Anime versions are both new, but OTHER Noir and Anime versions of Spidey have had brief appearances in comics. This is ALL tribute, the whole movie, while done SO well even people who didn't know those inspirations enjoyed it.
Peni Parker as a character was not created for the movie, but for the comic spiderverse event. Her comic book counterpart had more clear evangelion influence, but her origin story is the same.
- I sure hope at some point they bring some of these characters back for the Marvel Universe in Future films - Miles for absolute sure should at some point be re-introduced, and honestly, I'd really like to see Black & White Spiderman, he was kind of my favorite alternate, but Peter B. and Gwen were both pretty cool. Maybe this can possibly now come to pass considering the whole Multiverse thing has been opened up, would enjoy seeing some of them again, although perhaps in non-animated versions, since "technically" only the spider Pig was a cartoon, so it implies the rest of them were not animated makes this a possibility.
The Older Peter Parker is actually suppose to be the Earth 616 which is the universe for marvels cannon stories, aka the original spider man
Yeah Carolus above me is right, the older Spider-Man, Peter B Parker is based completely off the original iteration of Spider-Man the amazing Spider-Man created by Stan lee and Steve Dittko that ran for 600 issues over the span of a decade or two. In which he does all the things he said in his movie, married Mary Jane, had to bury Aunt May and got divorced. By the end of that comic run he was quite old. It’s never really stated but some where around 30-35 years old. And so this version of him is just that Spider-Man, pulled from between the time that Aunt May died and him and MJ getting back together.
In the comics, Gwen has dimension hopping powers. That's why she's a little better with the whole thing than the others are. I'm really excited for the sequel.
Pleaaase let them bleed into 'No Way Home', I need a Spider-Gwen.
in this movie its justified as her having been their much longer than everyone else, she went back in time too.
In the comics, she was given dimension hopping tech, not powers and she got that after Spiderverse as a member of the Web Warriors. This has literally nothing to do with the movie. She's better because Miles just got his powers and Peter B Parker is in the middle of a depression
Right. I wasn't gonna get into the tech thing in a short comment. I figured that was also gow she was able to talk to Miles at the very end of the movie after the collider was destroyed.

“How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up….it’s a leap of faith” this imo is the best part of the movie. I cry everything I see this every viewing of the movie. I feel like we all can relate to this statement. Peter B Parker is my favorite character and portrayal of Spider-Man From all the movies. Love his character development it’s amazing.
17:26 "Why is he so comically big?" Kingpin incredibly strong; one of his classic lines from the 90's animated series is that only 2% of his mass is fat, and other the 350 lbs is all muscle. That's a _lot_ of bulk. He's basically as strong as a human can possibly be without having any superpowers.
I think there was an origin story that as a child he was chubby and got bullied so he made himself strong enough to take revenge and ended up becoming basically a wall of muscle.
So basically he's a strongman competitor.
Kingpin’s style in this is right from the comic. The art was by Bill Sienkiewicz.
He trained with top sumo wrestlers in Japan for several years.
So he's basically captain America only more interesting
The "Leap of Faith" scene is my favorite movie scene of all time & it completely took me by surprise. So much subtext, meaning and parallels in that scene that is just absolutely amazing/motivating.
"What's up Danger?"
I love how he really wasn’t sure, since his grip was hard enough to pull tempered glass
I love that scene as well it is so well shot and the music helps the whole thing hit you hard in the feels department.
And the inverted angle wasn't an accident. He wasn't falling down, he was rising up.
Ever noticed how he doesn't swing as much, but uses waaay more parkour? Like uncle Aaron, RIP. It's no accident that Prowler's sound design sounds very similar to the drone that starts What's Up Danger. FUCKING LOVE IT
So fun fact, you've actually seen Miles' uncle Aaron before in the MCU. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the random criminal who he tracked down and cornered in the parking garage by webbing him to his car trunk was Aaron Davis, Miles' uncle. That Aaron even makes a mention of "having a nephew in the neighborhood" as well as a deleted extended version of the scene flat out having Aaron call Miles directly once Peter left after the interrogation.
- OMG that is so cool, maybe he never ended up becoming 'Prowler' because of that, and ends up being a good guy. And now I'm pretty annoyed that they cut that out, him calling Miles would have been so cool, and make it a lot easier to have people actually know and understand the reference of this character, I mean I'm not 100% aware of every little Marvel Universe detail, but just hearing him say "Miles" on the phone might have clicked for me, since I basically know about who Miles Morales is. Although, now I'm a little confused, if Mile is Morales, then his Dad would be Morales, so since Aaron is his fathers brother, wouldn't that make him a Morales also? Why is he Aaron Davis? Just curious.
@@Arthaius Technically Miles' father is Jefferson Davis, Morales is the mother's last name. Because he was born with the same name as the President of the Confederate States of America's name, Jefferson legally changed his name from Davis to Morales when he married his wife, taking her last name instead. This made Miles into Miles Morales rather than Miles Davis like he'd otherwise be. Aaron didn't change his name, keeping himself as Aaron Davis.
@@VegetaLF7 - Ahhh, I see well that would work then, just not something that would have occurred to me right away.
@@ArthaiusI’m super late but basically Jefferson and Aaron’s dad was in a gang and they were raised in that gang and did a lot of bad stuff, Obviously Jefferson grew out of it and it’s also why his relationship with Aaron is iffy, Aaron didn’t completely leave that life. Jefferson hated what his father made him do so when he married he had Miles take his mothers last name to make sure Miles didn’t have a connection to that aspect of his life.
Also, wasn't Donald Glover who played uncle Aaron in the MCU the inspiration behind Miles Morales as well as his voice actor in some cartoons?
This is a an S-Tier example of writing and story telling , it is an underrated aspect beside the artstyle, which i think allowed so many people to harmonize with the unique aesthetic and enhanced it (as the artstyle does with the writing).
"Aww, did they find a way to communicate?"
"Oh, I'm gonna cry again."
Lmao literally me for most of the movie every time I understand what's going on.
I remember showing this movie to my girlfriend, and we had watched some pretty emotional movies before but I had never seen her cry until then (this was fairly early in our relationship). But when Miles was holding Peter over the portal and they had that "How do I know I'm not going to mess it up again?" exhange, I remember turning to see her tear up and I was honestly surprised (in a positive way) :D It made me happy to see her care about the characters that much, especially when she had said earlier that she didn't care about superhero movies. I love this film.
I had a moment like this when I watched Wonder Woman (2017) with my partner in the theater. We had been dating for 3 years already, but I will never forget turning to look at him and seeing him tearing up at the No Man's Land scene just like I was. Anyone who shits on superhero movies as a genre has no idea what kind of emotional impact scenes like these can have on us.
I cried a lot when this came out just after Stan Lee's death and Stan Lee gets the perfect cameo in this.
When Stan says “I’m gonna miss him…” I almost started crying in the theater.
The genuine emotion of of "I'm going to miss him" to the shameless hucksterism of "No refunds or exchanges, ever" and back to the "It always fits, eventually" which flawlessly blends the emotional storyteller AND the conman is literally the perfect summary of Stan Lee.

The animation and art style was fantastic, the voice casting was fantastic, the comedy and action were fantastic. Everything was really well done. The end credits scenes were cool too. They teased Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) for the sequel, and they did the glorious pointing Spider-Man meme. I'm probably looking forward more to this movie's sequel than I am Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Best Spider-Man movie ever made...
The work done in this production is unprecedented. They were able to communicate so much with micro-expressions, animation, voice, music/score and context of dialogue.
This is a true piece of art (no exaggeration)
That "leap of faith" scene where Miles finally becomes Spider Man is my favourite scene in any superhero movie. It's perfect. And I love the little detail that the glass breaks when he lets go of the building because he's still scared/has doubts. It's only in the fall that he fully embraces who he is.
I'm not a comic book, superhero addict by any stretch but I honestly think I could count this as one of my favorite movies. I was totally taken aback by it while hanging out with my young niece and nephew. They wanted to watch it and I could not take my eyes off of it. Beautiful, clever, funny, emotional....just so, so good!
Man I love when kids love a really wonderful movie and you can watch it with them. Possibly in part because of all of the horrible movies you have to watch on repeat most of the time. But also because of how they see things we might be too cynical to appreciate.
Miles looks at Spiderman's suit twice, the first time when he arrives at aunt may's hangout, and his reflection puts his face at the chest, and the second time when he is ready to actually become spiderman, and the reflection is overlapping the suit because it fits him now.
this movie is just great
20:19 man that reveal gets me everytime when you don't see it coming.
I'm glad you actually got that scene, when Peter says, "How do I know I'm not gonna mess it up again?"
I guess, maybe some people haven't gone through enough in their life to get it. Peter wanted to die with dignity, after enduring so much emotional pain. He had given up on his life and was afraid to go back and try to live. But.. trusting yourself, believing in yourself, taking that leap of faith.. The scene spoke to my soul, and helped pick me up out of a dark place. Kind of hilarious that it's a Spiderman movie, but there was so much heart. Spiderman always had so much heart. Guess that's why he was always my favorite character.
It’s such a beautifully crafted story, you can’t resist the emotion.
If memory serves well they won the Oscar for best animated feature. Also: don’t forget the post credit scenes Natalie 😂
i’ll be honest i didn’t realize there was one haha
I was cracking up. Wife had no idea why lol
@@vladicgrabot6019 i think there were 2
*FUN FACT*
Miles is animated at 12 frames per second in the beginning of the film, instead of 24 frames per second like everything else, including the more well reformed spider-men. This helps give him a “clunkier” feeling. Over the movie as he learns to use his powers, his frame rate catches up to 24 frames per second making him seem much more fluid in movement, like a well practiced spider-man.
For added fun, this change in Miles' frame rate happens during the "thwip and release" part of the web swinging training as they try to escape from Doc Ock.
Came here to say this. One of the best things I've learned from Corridor Crew
This movie is a goddamn masterpiece and the Leap Of Faith scene is one of the greatest thing's I've ever seen
Got super emotional just watching the reactions, it gets better the more you watch it. So many animation details and such an amazing cast.
This movie is easily top tier comic book movies ever.
Its hilarious, has a great story, is surprisingly heart wrenching, and the animation is absolutely mindblowing
I couldn’t agree more
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. When I first watched it I never expected it to be as amazing as it was. The cast is incredible, the writing and script are wonderful, the art style is SOOO good and the soundtrack is fantastic. Bring on the sequel!!!
This was the turning point for Sony
Litterally watched it 7 times now. Every so often and every Christmas.
Netflix's Daredevil has the best live action version of Kingpin (imo). Played by Vincent D'Onofrio. Hope it's in your future lineup... great show. 👍
I wish they would CGI him into a bigger body. He's just not the Kingpin without the large, bulky body.
@@michaelm.1947 Wait for Hawkeye Episode 4
This is such a great movie to rewatch because you notice new things. When the explosion first happens at the beginning you can see the other spider people get blasted out of it.
watching natalie cry and laugh at this movie is so wholesome, it’s like watching it with a friend
Friends in real life are good too
When Miles put on the black suit and the camera just follows him as he falls down. Its one of the most beautiful animated scenes ever❤️🖤🕷
All I could think was “Is he sniffing spray paint through that mask?”
Ascending by falling.
*It's one of the most beautiful film scenes ever. Animated or otherwise.
@@jinxie712 😂😂😂😂😂 oh yeah it was still wet
This is top notch animation. Some of the best I've ever seen.
go watch Arcane, my friend. it's right up there in terms of animation.
@@blakekeewei Spiderman is a bit higher in terms of animation, just because its shorter and they have put a lot more thought into it in certain scenes, ( ofc, because they were able to, given the length of the material ) - its a movie after all, not a series, but yeah, Arcane is dope as hell, not only as animation (which, yeah, could be comparable in action scenes with Spiderverse easily), but also story is really engaging so far. Really good show. Im still amazed it CAN be compared to one of the best animated movies ever and each episode is an hour long!
It's one of those ones where the more you learn about the animation, the more beautiful it becomes. 😍
It's coming back soon. the sequel, Beyond The Spider-Verse is Xmas 2022
Once again, Nat misses out on post-credits stuff, heh.
Apparently, it's too hard to skip through the credits for a minute to check. /s
It's an amazing meme she might not get the meaning of
@@benjin3993 They also tease the next movie with Miguel O'Hara Spider-Man 2099.
@@nathansossai I forgot that, love Miguel
She actually did watch it, (sat through all the credits) it just didn't make the youtube edit :)
After watching Across the Spiderverse, I can say Natalie asked very important questions throughout.
The amount of symbolism in this movie is so hard to catch its crazy, I love it. Also Nicolas Cage as the noir spiderman never gets old to me
Edit: I also loved how underrated this movie was. During a time of avengers, they made an animated spiderman movie. But then people saw it and DAMN did this movie blow up. Its AMAZING
Yeah man it was a great time 😁
The part of this movie that got me right in the feels, was the part where Miles' dad was trying to connect with him through his college room door, and Miles couldn't talk to him because he was tied and gagged in his Spiderman suit, I was trying to hold those tears back. It got me. And the part where his uncle died in the alley...
wasn't a college, but a charter school. but yeah, i feel the same, those scenes really get me.
@@nox_tech_ It's a private school, not a charter
@@Dead25m it's both. somehow my responses are getting deleted but we're both right.
"Tied and gagged in his spider-man suit" come again?
Besides what Spider-Man Far From Home had, this film greatly gives you the taste of what the Spidey multiverse truely has and No Way Home is the real next chapter. As a black kid this film spoke to me in alot of ways and happy that it even exists. Thanks for seeing it Natalie 💛
This honestly should have at least been nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. I know it won Best Animated Feature, but it deserves so much more.
Such are the vagaries of the awards season money-go-round.
Do they even give animated films best picture? It won Best Animated Feature, that’s literally the best award it possibly could’ve won. What else do you want?
@@ParzivalTheThird - they nominated Beauty and the Beast for Best Picture but it lost to Silence of the Lambs. Best Animated Oscar is a category that's only been around since 2001, and the first one went to Shrek, in a year where the only competition was Monsters Inc and Jimmy Neutron. Best Animated Feature was created to keep animation and live action from being treated as equally valid Best Picture choices, perpetuating the ghettoization of the medium.
They had an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film as far back as 1932. Animated feature films were nominated for Best Picture in only three cases: 1991, 2009 and 2010. Beauty and the Beast is the only animated-feature film Best Picture nominee before the inception of Best Animated Feature and in the five-nominee format. Up and Toy Story 3 were both nominated after the inception of the animated feature category and in the expanded ten-nominee format.
So Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid - hell, even The Lion King. None of these rated even an outside-odds nomination in their year of release and the idea of actually including a Best Animated category took 70+ years, with only special or honorary awards even recognising the medium outside of shorts. Even then, there have beem something 9 honorary or "special recognition" awards of this type were for Walt Disney himself, in whay feels like a case of self dealing. Does that sound like an artistic body that values and respects animation to you? Not for one moment.
At 8:20 I just CANNOT get over the genius representation of the Spidey-Sense here. Its all the warnings screaming out at him all at once without any sound and its SO GOOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE
What’s more interesting is if you turn the volume way up you can actually hear the faintest whisper say “look out”
I can't wait for Nat to see Across the Spider-verse. I've been obsessing over it for a week now. That's how good it is.
The animation in this film is completely unique.
Designed to look like a comic book. I absolutely love it.
This was definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies made and blends the comic world and the cinema world together really well. One of my favorite little details is when Doc Ock says her friends call her Liv and then when she shows up Aunt May goes "Oh great, its Liv." It's fun to imagine like them having tea and hanging out in between the whole trying to get Spider-Man thing. Also, the end credits meme bit. Good stuff.
I feel like there needs to be a place where we can bet if Nat is going to remember to watch for a post credits scene each movie or not
.
This is still, without a doubt, my favorite Spiderman movie. Awesome animation, beautiful story and great voice actors!
Easily one of my favorite Spider-Man movies. Cleverly done, emotional impact, lots of humor. Even after watching it several times, it still hits home. ❤️
"Who's this mob boss guy?"
It was at this point I realized Natalie needs to watch the Netflix Daredevil series. Who's with me?
Yes please!
Mmmmmmmaybe.
It's a good series, but then you have to watch the Defenders...
@@stephenb5jones476 You don’t have to…
Yes, also for a change of pace Invincible. The cast and voice acting in it was just fantastic.
Aww we was hoping to see your reaction to the after-credits scene lol also there's a Spiderham cartoon you should check out!
Yeah loool
@@asifscool2811 Never understood why reactors can't just watch a bit longer (or even skim through the credits) to see if there is a post-credits scene. What are they in a hurry for?
@@arkanesociety do you often stay back longer after regular work hours are over? Most people don't, and neither does she.
@@arkanesociety she always forgets. At the start of x-men first class, she went back and watched the post credits scene from a couple of previous x-men movies she'd reacteed to, where she'd missed them, and apologized for always forgetting to check for them. Then she made a point of staying around for the post credits scene on first class and of course it didn't have any.
@@dreamer7770 Is it over though? Because the movie isn't done until the movie stops playing.
This and Logan are basically the two genre-breaking superhero movies, for very, very different reasons. This was an amazing film. I'd highly recommend watching the "Everything Great About" video on this one - it points out SO MANY cool things that make this movie so wonderful!
This is without a doubt my favorite Spider-Man movie, and very close if not my favorite movie, period. It's done so well, the characters, the animation, the development, the pacing; it's spectacular. Can't wait to see the new one when it comes out.
There is so much in this movie. Literally every scene you can go frame by frame and find something. There are callbacks later in the film from things that happened earlier. A lot of animation specific things. Of course a ton of comic specific things. It's such a brilliant film and was my favorite comic book movie ever until Across the Spider-Verse came out.
This movie is legit one of the best animated movies of the 00's and perhaps of all time. The way they fused really old skool techniques and super modern techniques to create a unique blend is super impressive. The colour pallette, the framing, the style choices per scene, all help convey that comic book feel, while also feeling like a fresh take on it.
Also have to mention my favourite joke is "BAGEL!". Peter B Parker steals someone's bagel, and later throws it's away, hitting the guy in the face he took it from, and there's a big "BAGEL!" exlamation when that happens.
You mean the 10’s, not the 00’s lol
But yeah i agree
@@michaelone9475 people still get that confused. Lol!
My favourite part of this movie was the message. "Anyone can wear the mask, you can wear the mask". I worked at a movie theatre during the time this movie was released and I remember seeing kids, from all ethnic backgrounds, leaving screens happy and excited, but most of all... Inspired.
Stan Lee's line always gets to me and I'm a grown ass man. "It always fits... eventually."
Natalie: "I like seeing their spidey-senses, ya know?"
Me: "Ah yes, the good ol' Peter-tingle."
MCU Spider-Man: "Please stop calling it that."
Me: telling my husband about avoiding a bad situation
Him: "Your Spidey Sense must have been working."
Me: "Yeah, I got a Peter Tingle."
Him: --__--
Stop using that MCU joki ass Name for spider Sense.
its just cringe name
Easily one of my Top 10 favorite animated movies!
The artstyle and animation really sell you and definitely set a standard for most animated films to follow if creators seek inspiration. It’s clear this film was not cheap to make at all, and the people working behind the scene earned those profits and awards.
I was actually talking to friends about the movie yesterday, and I’m not surprised the trailer for the sequel hasn’t arrived yet. Like I said, this movie was NOT cheap (also covid might’ve impacted production in some way)
sequel trailer was released last week i think? Check it out if you haven't already
@@dylangalindo3349 Hey sorry for the late response. I have seen, and after No Way Home, I AM HYPED FOR MORE SPIDER-MAN CONTENT
The amount of symbolism and details that take place in this movie is incredible (which just shows how passionate the movie's creators were). When OG Spiderman first saves Miles and the two sense each other, OG Spiderman has his standard red/blue background while Miles has a green/purple background. However, within a second or two, Miles's background colors change to red/blue; indicating a change in his destiny. When Miles first attempts (and fails) to jump across buildings, we get the "Ahhhhh" following him down to the street. However, when he finally succeeds, we get the "Wooooo" following him up as he rises. They still make use of comic style onamonapia even though it is unnecessary in a movie; to the point that when Peter B throws his bagel at someone and it hits him, we get the "Bagel" onamonapia of it hitting him. When you get the city view of the first supercollider explosion, you can see the five white trails of the extra-dimensional spider-people coming here. You can tell Gwen is trained in ballet with her shoes and the way she puts her feet down when we first see Spider-Gwen.
One other thing they made great use of is in subverting expectations (indeed, they emphasis it by having Miles write a paper about the book, "Great Expectations"). You get the build up of the music as he's considering doing his jump; and then quite as he goes back down the stairs. You get this big moment as the spider bites him...and he just slaps it off him in an "eh, whatever" style. You think it's the Prowler sneaking up behind Miles when he's at Peter's grave and it turns out to be Peter B. You're expecting a big fight with Doc Ock as she approaches, only for her to get run over by a semi.
It really is a masterpiece in story telling.
Honestly, this movie _really_ benefits from a second and third viewing. There's so many little background details that you simply cannot see on only one viewing. Best. Spider-Man. Movie. Hands _down._
TOTALLY AGREE!!! So many details that repeat viewings really enhance. One of the best movies in a long time
@@thereallycool There is so much going on in the scene in Aunt May's living room, from Aunt May sliding a coaster under a cup as Spider-Ham sets it down, to Penny coming out of the kitchen on "heely shoes" (wheels in the heels.) Everybody focuses on Spider-Man Noir and the Rubik's Cube, but there's so much more going on.
He took a bagel!
@@Lightningrod75 He also beaned a white coat with it as they were escaping.
Ever since I first saw it in the theater, and every single time I watch it, the Stan Lee line "It always fits - eventually" turns me into a human waterfall.
Thank you for the video, Nat and the team! It really made my day!
“Anyone can wear the mask”
My favorite MCU character and it’s because of human he is under the mask.
I don't think I've ever left the theater in a better mood than I was after this movie. I was just grinning like an idiot. This movie absolutely blew my mind. It was so, so much better than it had any right to be. And it's a total love letter to long-time Spider-fans.
Complete side-topic, but I had the same feeling after watching Death to Smoochy.
This movie is the best movie I've ever seen. The way the story is played and creates such a relatable story in such little time in a way no other movie has before. Love this
I can't WAIT to see you watch Across the Spider-Verse; I'm sure you're gonna LOVE it. It's so good
There's a super interesting YT video where they go in depth about how the animation in this movie was done and it's incredible.
Fun details but Miles universe is the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) which was created as a re-imagined and modernized versions of the Marvel superhero's from the main Prime Universe (Earth-616) with both large and small changes starting with Ultimate in the year 2000. It stated out great with Spider-Man and X-Men which were more based on the Film in terms of artistic darker more militant uniforms but it started to go downhill which some weird choices. Some changes you may noticed is the Green Goblin who's a lot closer to his monster Ultimate version than a man in a Goblin suit like we see in the main comic and in Spider-Man 1 for example along with most versions of the character in media.
Peter B Parker the one sucked into Miles universe is from Earth-616 the main comic Universe where everything is alot closer to ours like the brand names, In Miles universe there's some weird spelling differences and the NYPD is called the PDNY in Miles universe which is pretty interesting it's like our own universe but a little different the adverts, movies, and even car brands reflect this. But yeah Miles always existed in a separate universe from the Spider-Man of Earth-616 instead he existed in a world with the Ultimate Spider-Man who wasn't that different to the 616 counterpart he was just a little bit shorter in his teens. This is the same with a lot of the Ultimate versions of characters like i said reimagined. Pretty much all Spider-Men are based somewhat on the Earth-616 Spider-Man even the movies so they all share many elements from origin story to suit and appearance there's just many different Peter Parkers like what we saw in Loki from games to movies and comic's.
In fact Peter B. Parker IS the Spiderman from Earth 616, just from a ways in the future. You can see their Earth designations on a computer screen at one point.
The B middle initial is likely due to the whole clone saga from the comics. Plus there's the fact that Peter B. was obviously the beneficiary of the infamous "Parker luck", while everything seemed to be going great for golden boy Parker, at least until his death.
I never noticed the PDNY, but what always catches my attention is when Miles goes "What's Comic-con?"
@@tkbwanfor8098 Oh yeah no doubt it has another name in Miles universe but all it means is San Diego "Comic Book Convention" it's a very straight forward name.
Something people don't realize is that Miles Morales was animated in 12 frames per second when he was learning how to use his powers and when he was stressed throughout the whole first half of the movie, but in the end when he takes the leap of faith and becomes a real "spider-man" he is like the others and animated in 24 frames showing his transition. That's just one of hundreds of details they threw in. So much more about this movie, both artistically and cinematically, just works so well.
Thats mostly because it's a subconscious thing, you don't notice it until you know this trick
tbh miles leap is one of the most iconic moments. even in the games, i love going to the top and then diving down
Coming back to this video again having seen the newest one. Can't wait to see your reaction/hear it if you've seen it already!
This is fully my favorite spiderman movie. It all just hits so well. There are bits that get me to break down still even after having it seen 5 or 6 times. The Stan Lee cameo is my favorite of all of them too. Saw this in theatres and it was so soon after his death that it really hit me
The scene that always gets to me is near the end when Peter says to miles “what If I mess up?”/ leap of faith scene. Just the delivery,full circle and relatable moment that always gets me a bit misty in the eyes without fail. As a huge comics fan (marvel, dc and various other publishers, and manga), I really loved this movie and all the visual interpretations/styles since the best comics always have the most stylistic flair. The movie was proof that you can fully embrace what makes comics work as a medium and display that to a wider audience both narratively and stylistically. I dug that they took inspiration from Bill Siencwick’s version of kingpin which was perfect for this movie. People forget that Spider-Man although light hearted on the surface often deals with heavy subject matter, yet what makes him so endearing is despite failure and dark circumstances is the willingness to do his best, regardless of variation or iteration. Also I must say , this is the best adapted version of Peter Parker that really captures the essence of the older counter part of the comics. Just a great movie.I can’t wait for the sequel to see what other iterations of the other universes (comics, and media) that they’ll incorporate in the sequel.
"Is that how Spider Sense looks like in the comics?"
In the classic comics before digital art, it is... and it's interesting they chose that style. While digital art and the movies have done a lot adding things to how Spider Man's acts can look like, some things have not been quite well translated yet, like the Spider Sense. While we know it's between a discomfort and some sort of "premonition" indicating danger, the comics chose to save themselves the problem of getting too deep into the mechanisms of "how it should look like?" that they just put the waving lines. The 90's animated cartoon did some high contrast images and sounds to illustrate it, which looks cool but it takes time to be displayed, the 2000 films made this like "beeing to aware of all your surroundings" that also looks kind of cool, but takes even more time (for the car reveal in Spider Man 2, works nicely)... so, yeah, it was a nod for comic lovers and an interesting choice to just show Spider Sense is kicking in, without complicating things.
"Is there Spider Woman?"
As a matter of fact... several XD. Each one with different styles (and in the comics most of them belong to the same universe :P). But one of the latest additions to the Spider Verse family is the character of Spider-Gwen (yep, that's actually the title of her comic), from a universe where Peter Parker dies and her friend Gwen Stacy becomes the wall crawler of her universe. Which takes us to...
"Gwen Stacy"
Mostly forgotten in several adaptations of the comic (like the 2000 films, or the animated series of the 1990's), Gwen Stacy was one of he very few friends of Parker as he grew up both as a teen and as Spider Man. The story of this character, while ignored later by the adaptations, is a cornerstone of Spider Man's growth both as a hero and as person, she even (kind of) helped Mary Jane Watson to become the redhead audiences love and Parker's wife later on (because in the first years of he comic she was one of the popular girls of school who acted as if she owned the world just because she was pretty). And I think we can leave it there, because if you will watch the movies then you'll meet the story of Gwen Stacy in the Andrew Garfield movies.
I'll end this just by saying that seeing the character make a strong come back in this form was refreshing.
"I didn't expect Spider Man to be like this"
While Spider Man is one of the youngest super heroes of the Marvel Universe (in the regular sense its been adapted), Spider Man has a tendency to hit always those "growing pains" strings, not only because of the Uncle Ben story. Spider Man is, basically, a self made hero: he never got classes, he didn't have a mentor of sorts... he just jumped right into the action after deciding to stand up for his beliefs and has endured the ups and downs, and all the blows life (the writers) has thrown to him... some more devastating than others and how, even in the presence of loss, if you still have things to do, you go on (even when you need, sometimes, to cry under the shower still wearing the suit XD).
And that would be it, it was a nice ride seeing you discovering the multiverse, the Spider Verse and this particular film :). See you in the next one.
One cool detail they added in this movie is when you see Peter and Miles swinging for the first time in the woods, Peter is swinging at a smoother motion and Miles movement is choppy and almost laggy. Miles towards the end of the movie becomes more fluid in his movement to represent how far he came.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse turns 5!
I remember seeing it with my sister Cara and her boyfriend Jim in Victor
this is another one of my favorite Spider-Man movies
the movie has a lot of charm to it by making so many callbacks to previous media forms of Spider-Man from his comic debut in 1962 to a Christmas album to the Sam Raimi movies to his Aunt May to Mary Jane Watson to Donald Glover to a Spider-lair full of vehicles and various suits but also making a few new changes like a female version of Dock Ock
fantastic voice acting from Hailee Steinfeld to Liev Schrieber to Nicholas Cage, stunning animation making the whole thing feel like an actual comic book moving from page-to-page, a sufficient amount of heart, exciting action, one hell of a twist in the middle, and a ton of humor
it's also got a killer soundtrack
MIles still has a lot of learn in order to be his best version of himself not copy others, his family doesn't run away from things, the hardest part of the job is knowing you can't save everyone, and figuring out who he wants to be may just be the key to rising to the occasion
it's also kinda nice to see Stan Lee in one of his last cameos
the movie has some great messages for everyone not just Spider-Man/comic fans to pick up on; each of us in a way has a power of our own to help the world, anyone can be a superhero in their own way, all it takes is a leap of faith to succeed as well
a few side villains could have been cut and it was disappointing most of the footage from the trailers didnt make the final cut
still, SONY and Marvel seem to be on a the right track and I'm very happy they're still moving forward making more side stories and spinoffs :)
This is one of the best Animated Films ever made, Im so glad more and more people are watching it.
Edit: I also find that the less people know about it, the more enjoyable their reactions are.
All this movie needs is is the original Spider-woman Jessica Drew.
How do you miss every end credits bit? Lol!
There's some great animation tricks in this that you don't realize. Miles is animated in fewer frames rates to make his moves more choppy. Once he starts swinging along side Peter his frame rate picks up.
Someone mentioned above they watched it w/ her on Patreon, but that it apparently didn't make the cut for us freeloaders on the YT side. ;)
