Thanks for mentioning this in the comments! I almost always watch only full length (then the discussion after) and sometimes miss out on the cool effects the editor puts in the reactions!
So, when I was watching this in theaters and we get to the scene where Gwen and Miles are in his room, and she opens his toy that's he's been keeping in it's original packaging. My literal first thought was, "Oh Eric is gonna hate this part."
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395I can’t tell if you’re joking or not but it’s a collectible meaning at that point its worth a whole lot more in that package than being used a couple of times and put away the exact same way it was prior to opening it.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 ey, it is Miles toy. He can do whatever he wants with it, either play with it or just leave it in it's box. It wasn't very polite of Gwen to straight up go and unbox it without even asking him first. That is like me being invited to a friend's room, and deciding: "woah, i'm tired. Gonna sleep in your bed, g'night zzzzzzzzzzzzzz".
I absolutely loved Spot because he’s the first “scientist turned into a monster during experiment gone wrong” character who actually ACTS like a scientist. He’s constantly experimenting and picking apart the broader applications of his powers over the course of the movie. And unlike every other supervillain (who usually just tolerates having a kryptonite) when he realises he can run out of holes, he quickly brainstorms a way to get rid of the weakness by recreating the accident that transformed him on a much larger scale. He's far from the joke everyone sees him as.
@@split2961 Lizard still acted like a super genius extremely confident person who already seemed to know exactly what he needed and wanted to do. Obviously with time his ambition became more than what he initially thought of but Spot actually seemed curious, natural about his new gained abilities and tried discovering more about his powers throughout the movie
I dunno if I'd go that far. Most characters tend to have to learn how to use their abilities, either through coordinated practice or happy accidents. It's an old hat to have someone fuck around with their powers and see what they can do. That's not particularly scientist-esque, it's just the nature of storytelling.
I enjoy the fact he was basically a joke villain in the comics and he was made into a far, FAR more dangerous threat. Like Pockadot Man from Suicide Squad, I enjoy when writers take a weak, lame, forgettable, jokey character from the comics and twist them into something that is legitimately sad, heartfelt, thought provoking, memorable or just plain cool, character.
My favorite scene is seeing Miguel trying to break open the portal. I like how his traumatic past is very clearly influencing his personality for the worst. Most tragic backstories are just used to give a character motivation, but you take one look at Miguel and go “yep that’s definitely what a man who watched his child disintegrate in his arms while believing it was entirely his fault would act like”.
U can tell by Gwen and Peter B faces, that Miguel is an absolute loon, trying to rip and claw his way to Miles. What is Miguel gonna do the next time he sees Miles, because Gwen’s team might find him before Miguel does.
I LOVE that he's a real morally grey character. They're doing some great work with his character, his methods are questionable but his intentions are the best.
He’s projecting all of his angry and hurt feelings onto Miles, he hates the kid just for existing. Like, Miles’s origin was indeed an anomaly, a fluke. And he’s *still* able to live a relatively happy and fulfilling life, unlike Miguel who watched an entire world die for the anomaly he caused. This pisses Miguel off beyond belief. If he can’t be happy, why should Miles?
I was wondering who that was, just not enough to look into it I guess. His vocals stick-out for some reason, almost like they don't fit in the sense of weird ADR minus.... it being VO so that doesn't make much sense lol
@@flaggerifyThey had been working on ATSV while ITSV was being worked on. that's how I imagine it worked, but also it took 4 FREAKING YEARS. 4 years of remote artists submitting color keys and various images for the movie.
Eric’s face at “To be continued” was everyone in my theater. It says a lot about the movie when the worst thing about it is that I wanted it to keep going, 11/10 film
Exactly my thoughts. The only complaint with this movie is the cliffhanger and nothing else. I think the movie should’ve been 5 hours long, I totally would’ve watched it the whole way through considering how fast time passed by watching this film
The animators barely got a break and they didn't get paid. And also they said they needed a break. Also I don't know how they forget that it's part one it said it in the trailer
13:34 you can actually see Miles-42 in Spot's flashback, he's got the braids. It looks like they grabbed the spider right before it was supposed to bite him
Sun-Spider isn't paralyzed! She has a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (just like me, and the creator of the character 🥰), which is a connective tissue disorder that affects essentially the glue that holds your body together. One of the things it causes is hypermobility, which I'm sure comes in handy as a Spiderperson, but it also causes a lot of pain and mobility problems, which is why Sun-Spider uses a wheelchair and crutches :) It was so cool to hear you guys talk about Sun-Spider because she means so much to me, I never dreamed of seeing a Spiderperson onscreen using the same crutches I do. Just wanted to inform you a bit about her character some more! Loved the reaction as always!
@joeyralston3773 She's the one in the wheelchair mech that has the quick exchange with Miles near the start of the chase; "I'm a huge fan of your work"
She was my favourite Variant in the film! I don't have any mobility issues, but Sun-Spider is so unique and fascinating that I want a full series dedicated to her.
They managed to make every spiderman's movement different: Gwen has long graceful swings and jumps, because she does ballet, Miles incorporates parkour into movement (In the first movie Peter told him spidermen swing and not run, but the movie was about Miles doing his own thing, so he combined the two). And Pavitr is the only spiderman that uses his legs too. And Miguel goes full werewolf mode and climbs with his claws.
I only realised watching this reaction, Miguel can't "stick" like the others right? So it's not even that he chooses to claw into the train to keep up, he has to.
@@CRITTER_FROG Correct. Miguel's powers are a little different from a normal spider-person. His webs, as they said in the reaction, seem to be like Darkseid's (DC) omega beams. His fangs and claws. He also has a few other powers that weren't shown in the movie. Like telepathy, he ages slower and has speedy regeneration, has enhanced eyesight, ect ect. (pretty sure his webs in this film are just to make it so you know he's a little... different.) His powers are genetically modified unlike a normal-ish spider-person who got theirs from the radioactive spider.
@@swusi8874 I'm not even sure if Miguel's claws are natural, cuz when Miles overloaded his suit and threw him, he was unable to grab back onto the train for a bit because his fingers were normal. Makes me think the claws are part of the suit too (I haven't read the comics though so I know I might be wrong)
@@chronosclaimsallkinda, well It depends on whose writing the character cuz for example in the Comics Spider-Man in general CANT stick to walks with shoes on cuz of the thick layer shoes have. Which is why most spider-people wear tight spandex outfits so their skin can get close as possible to the surface of something to stick. In the Movie tho the writers decided to ignore that part of Spider-Man and animated Miles walking on walks with shoes on, same for Gwen when she wears the chucks.
Those last 10-15 minutes of the movie are honestly the best of any comic book movie, maybe even sci-fi or action movie in general. The Alternate reality reveal, Prowler Miles, Gwen forming her team, Miles with the "don't watch the eyes, watch the hands" callback, The reprise of the Spiderverse theme with electric guitar and drums overlayed with Spot's theme, everything about it is perfect and makes me grin ear to ear whenever i watch it.
and the song ‘am i dreaming?’ playing at the start of the credits, gives me chills every time and really fills you with an insane feeling after the cliffhanger
Daniel Kaluuya’s Hobie was the standout in this movie for me. Phil Lord and Chris miller have said we’ll explore his world in beyond the spiderverse and I couldn’t be more happy
I love that he got to do a fun character and not just another guy trapped in a horror movie. He does those great too, but it was great hearing him have fun with a character.
56:29 No that is part of the point. He could have became invisible at any time but didn't becuase he was purposely leading all the spidermen away from the building.
@@Kanpuriye no he's not. That was just a joke Gwen made. His fangs aren't for sucking blood, they're for injecting a victim with a paralyzing venom that renders them unable to move.
A cool little detail that I like is when miles gets knocked out by earth 42 miles his spider sense doesn’t go off, this is because spider sense doesn’t detect yourself as a threat
Spider-Verse revolutionized animation. I’m glad to see projects like Arcane, Puss in Boots, & TMNT being influenced by it and putting their own spin on the gorgeous art style & heartfelt storytelling. I wish Blind Wave would react to those last 2 films I mentioned. I’m surprised they never checked out The Last Wish after how much praise it got. I would hope they react to Mutant Mayhem since they’re big turtles fans.
@@SpiritxEnigmaAgreed on puss in boots & tmnt being influenced but the studio that made arcane has done similar stuff before into the spiderverse Not tryna downplay into the spiderverse, just wanted to mention that since people might get slightly misinformed 😁
I love that Eric looked away at 1:06:55 so he missed who really knocked Miles out so the final scene's mystery played out all the more for him. I forgot how good the score was for building hope and tension throughout the entire movie.
just to clear things up each spider-person has MULTIPLE canon events not just one. Canon events are events EVERY spider person WILL go through at some point in their lives. So the death of uncle arron is just one of Miles' canon events as is Jeff's death. They're two of Miles' canon events. He will have more after and may have even had one or two in between. Confirmed Canon events from this movie: The spider-person gains their powers from an incident with a spider. (typically a spider bite but Peni and Spider-ham shows theres room for variation) Death of a closed loved one (typically a family member) to teach the spider-person a lesson of responsibility. Upside down kiss with a love interest. Spider-person Bonds with an alien symbiote. Death of a police captain close to the spider-person. Spider person temporarily quits and leaves their suit in the garbage. Spider-person is trapped under rubble and lifts it off themselves in a feat of strength and willpower. Spider-person gets married. Spider-person is buried alive by a villain and crawls out of their grave. Death of love interest (assumed, heavily implied by Gwen)
2099 and spider-woman also show variation on the spider bite (assuming this spider-woman has the same origin as the comics one). Both of them got their powers by experiments with spider cells, not an actual bite.
Plus from Miguel’s perspective 1610 is already teetering on the brink since the canon was already messed with by Miles getting bit. He needs to make sure Miles experiences every event cause just one not going right can destroy the universe.
@@lukewarm1242yea it’s kinda the same, her origin in the comics is that she had some kind of disease when she was a kid, as a last ditch effort her father put her in a cryostasis tube/pod. And injected her and the atmosphere in her pod with this serum that had a mixture of spider and other insect type DNA. She woke up like 2 decades later as an adult with somewhat spider powers. She had all the powers except for spider sense and web swinging, she could also fly and shoot these energy blast/zaps.
@@lukewarm1242same for Miguel except he is more spider than man. Which is why he has fangs and claws, he sadly doesn’t have spider sense which explains how he wasn’t able to predict/dodge vulture in the beginning. Instead of spidersense the writers gave him a much more enhanced physical prowess. So like yk how Peter is like really flexible, Agile, Super Strong, etc… so Miguel has all of that but ENHANCED/Way Stronger. Which is why his eye sight and his Listening is also enhanced.
1:01:50 blew my mind, that whole swing sequence with his inner thoughts felt like an old school Spider-Man comic cover brought to life, all his inner turmoil literally surrounding him, closing in on him as it builds and builds, great stuff.
1:15:57 i think Pav had his ''with great powers comes great responsibilities'' moment because that's what pushes them to become a hero. The cop dying event is separate from that
I think it would've come up in his flashback if he had. The movie intentionally made it seem like something was "off" about his backstory because there was: he hadn't had his defining moment yet. It's kinda like Miles before he lost his uncle and had _his_ defining moment, except much less awkward. Miles was still trying to be Spider-Man, but, before that moment he had with his uncle, he could've simply quit at any point.
@@Gestrid Yeah it's kinda confusing because the movie treats ASM90 as THE defining canon event for many of the Spider-people when we know is always the uncle's death. It could simply be a case where that would have been Pav's defining moment instead of his uncle or aunt dying but we don't know for sure if that had already happened to him.
@@alexsilva28 I wouldn't say Across treats ASM90 as The Defining Canon Event, it just focus the most on that because it is the most relevant Canon Event to the story here. ASM90 may not have been Pav's Great Responsibility Moment, the point of his uniquely pleasant backstory could be to subtly reinforce the main lesson/ question of Spiderverse: Does Spiderman NEED trauma to work as a character? Pavitr has it real good compared to most Spideys, but he is still a good guy. Will Miles saving the cop and the girl doom Pav to become a villain? Or is that a ridiculous assertion?
I like the added detail at 53:49, when Miguel calls Miles the "original Anomaly", his glitching has him briefly wearing the old store-bought costume he wore in the first film, showing how the accusation actually cuts him very deeply and digs into his old fears of being spider-man's inadequate replacement. It makes it even more awesome when he then proceeds to shrug off the fear with his rebuttal to Miguel's face, a guy who is literally pinning him down and giving voice to Miles' self-doubts straight at him where he can't run away from them like he did before....so he doesn't. Like he does when Hobbie is subtly encouraging him during their talking whilst en-route to meet miguel, he confronts the obstacle head-on and pushes through it, his own way.
I love that when the renaissance vulture pulls out a new weapon or regrows his wings, a bunch of schematics and calculations appear first. The attention to detail in this movie is insane!
The speech Miles mom gives him before he leaves makes me cry so much, as a Black Latino boy, my Hispanic mother gave me nearly the same talk, about not allowing other people tell me that I didn't belong where I wanted to be. So beautiful.
For me this is a Perfect Sequel, the animation is even better, the music is even better, the story is well planned and developed, Miles as the protagonist works great, the antagonists are very good, Gwen is a fantastic secondary, the Finale is pure Hype, I love it
I still think the story in the first one is slightly better, the first one has a little bit more planting and pay off. But its only better than the second movie cause the first movie has a near perfect script.
I personally prefer the first film since I found it funnier and generally thought it felt like a more complete film whereas this is just half a story. That said, I expect that (like Empire Strikes Back) I'll regard this one even more highly once the third film comes out and I see how the story concludes
James Cameron is wrong when he says Marvel movies aren't as epic as Villenueve & Jackson's movies. Logan The Wolverine INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE & ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Raimi's SPIDER-MAN Guardians of the Galaxy, those were epic.
If the third movie is even near this level of quality, Spiderverse goes down as one of the greatest trilogies of all time, cause almost all of the good 3-part sagas you can think of have at least one relative dud. It’s crazy
The Director said that the reveal that Miles is the first anomaly is a meta-commentary on what led to the creation of the first Black Spider-Man. Some fans believe that Miles doesn't deserve his power or belong in the mask.
It's not that he doesn't deserve it. But comic book Miles is basically Perer Parker. Animation Miles is much better. Also they just shod horn Miles and don't know what to do with his character.
@parkerboy795 I think it's the minority that are offended by color. If you did a side by side of him and Peter they are the same. Instead of doing another Miguel, they just changed Parker to a different skin color. This is the comics. This Miles is much better. I did enjoy the Morales comics, just I see why people don't like him.
He's not the first black Spider-Man. Miles debuted in 2011 in Ultimate Fallout #1. Old Man Logan, which released in 2008, introduced Ashley Barton, a black woman and Peter's granddaughter, as Spider-Man. Pretty bizarre for the director to get it so wrong considering Ashley is literally in the film he's making.
@@beag_dragan He said Spider-Man, not Spider-Woman, and she wasn't replacing the beloved Peter Parker. and there was some outrage with Miles Morales when he initially came out.
Fun Fact: For anyone who didn’t know, or stick around for the discussion, in this shot 12:06, there are 2 newspaper articles that are the exact same articles from Agents of SHIELD season 3 episode 22 that show Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson/Quake. 1:28:52 omg Eric’s reaction is so many AOS fans reactions 😂. The slow “oh that’s cool” to the realisation of “WAIT A SECOND!?” and then we get to the clowning of “she gonna be in the next one?” 😂
For clarification, Miguel is not a vampire, he has sharp teeth because they’re venomous and can paralyze his enemies, that’s what he was trying with Vulture. Not going too deep into the backstory, he was put into an experiment that altered his genetic code completely so that he is, at a microscopic level, 50% spider. So it’s ironic Miles calls him out on actually being Spider-Man when he’s arguably more spider like then the rest of them
But does he has spidey sense? He didn’t know when vulture was behind him in the intro and he relied on the “snitch” in the car to tell him where miles was.
@@kristinjoni Depending on how close to the comics they stuck, he doesn't have spidey sense - instead all of his senses are highly enhanced, especially his vision. He can see in complete darkness, see things from great distances away and he has accelerated vision (he basically sees fast moving objects in "slow motion") - which only works as effectively as spidey sense if the thing coming at him is in his line of sight.
@@kristinjoni spoilers below for the character Miguel is SPIDERman. Rather than being bitten by a radioactive spider he literally had spider genes put into his body. He thus has poison fangs, heightened senses (but no spider sense), strength, regeneration, and slow aging
@@kristinjoni Probably not in this movie either, mainly because of the moment when the Renaissance Vulture gets back up, spider sense would've alerted him before getting hit
The fact that Calvin called the Earth 42 twist right from the moment the computer registered Miles’ universe as Earth-42 blew my mind. Detective Calvin wins again.
I caught it in my first viewing too. It paints a whole different kind of anxiety over the sequence and Miles running home and rambling to his mom. Instead of being confused by his mom acting off with the mention of his hair and not knowing Spider-Man and the being surprised when we realize he’s in the wrong place, I spent that entire time wondering when he’d realize he wasn’t actually home.
I saw five or six Spider Men in this movie I want a full movie or atleast to star in a What If-esque series showing the origins and journeys of different Spideys. I'm so interested in Cowboy-Spiderman.
I've seen a couple others say it but I want to add another shout out for Flynn and the crazy overlay editing in this, really helped cement the epicness of those moments into the actual reaction as well! Great job :)
I think the best thing about this movie is how they got the interactions between the parents and the kids. I love to see how they react to each other and the difficulties that they have with one another and how they all try to work thru them.
Miles is the living embodiment of create your own story, don't opt for a path chosen for you, YOU make the path, YOU lead your life, YOU prove that destiny isn't given, it is made.
And being Spider-Man is not about sacrifice because Spider-Man and the rest of the heroes are not gods. Well, except Thor, Loki and Hercules they are gods. But never mind that. Being Spider-Man is about responsibility.
I LOVE the contrast between Guen going through the portal in the beginning to runaway from her dad and in the end of the movie she goes through the portal with his blessing. So good!
yeah I'm surprised they didnt call that out. i loved that detail. my favorite joke that NOBODY talks about is the evil "Helvetica" guy that is locked up and after he threatens miles, miles says "BOLD".
Not gonna lie, this movie and the last movie are the most incredible things we’ve probably ever gotten in terms of animation. The amount of technical and insane animation things in these movies is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. You could literally do a whole animation class based around Hobie himself, which is nuts!
Spider-Verse 🤝 Arcane 🤝 Puss in Boots: The Last Wish 🤝 TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Giving us gorgeous art styles & stories with heart! I wish Blind Wave would react to those last 2. After I played Spider-Man PS4 (another top-tier adaptation), I went to see ITSV as an MCU fan & I came out the theater a Miles Morales fan with a newfound appreciation for animation. I will forever be thankful for this franchise!
Spider verse and the Incredibles, which also used groundbreaking animation, both demonstrate that animation can be the optimum medium for super hero films
Peter B sort of makes a good point that tragedy happens. That’s part of life. Bad things happen sometimes. But there’s a difference between accepting loss and actively making sure people die because “that’s how the story is supposed to go”.
I don't think a movie's end credits have ever had as much of an impact on me as this one. just something about that song after the high tension build up hit me in a different way, such an amazing experience
I think I'm in that rare group of people who were aware that this was only Part 1 of this story, so "To Be Continued" didn't shock nor disappoint me one bit. Definitely my favorite animated movie of all time, it's so so good.
@@Gestrid I saw the first trailer when it first dropped, but clearly the remembering part didn't happen, because I have no idea why that would clue someone in to it being a part 1. I also try to avoid spoilers/theories about the movies before I watch them, which often means I'll miss that sort of info. (for instance, I didn't realise/forgot(?) that Infinity War was a part 1, either :P ).
Miles in ITSV: “I run better than I swing!” Miles in ATSV: *literally outruns every single Spider-person chasing after him* God I love these movies!!!!
Spider-man can't save everyone... BUT he always try... this movie... you can watch it 10 time and again discover a new detail, new forshadowing or other things, this is masterpiece
When I saw it in theater I figured out he was in the wrong universe when the mom mentioned comic con because him not knowing what comic con was in the first movie was one of my favorite lines
I had no idea they threw a Daisy reference in there and I love it. It was definitely just an animator decided for fun to throw it in the background. Animators love throwing random easter eggs into the background of shots for fun.
Love that Aaron brought up the work done by Donald Glover to push for a black Spider-Man. It’s an incredible story and if you happen to not know it I implore you to learn more about it.
I saw this in theaters last year with my old man. When the "To be continued" popped up on the screen the entire theater was quiet. After a pin drop, all you heard was my father screaming "WHAT THE FUCK???" one of my favorite moments in a movie theater.
I don't understand how it took this long for people to make the Spot good. PORTALS ARE THE COOLEST POWER. Everyone loves the game Portal, and Doctor Strange's portals are one of the best powers in the MCU!
I love that they included Charlotte Webber/Sun-Spider in the movie going from a fanmade spidersona in 2018, to a canon spider in the comics, to being featured in Across the Spiderverse is one hell of a journey
Jefferson's delivery of "ah he wrote it all as one word, haha, the *youth*" is so fucking funny i had to take a break and pause the movie to get my laughs out
1:12:19 Yes, Eric, Yes. So much upon several re-watches of this movie, it's crazy. So, someone pointed out to me that Earth 42 Miles was supposed to be bit while he was at school (You can see the back of his braids during Spot's exposition) while our Miles was bit while he was blowing off his school work to do a graffiti piece with Aaron. Miles-Prowler was a good kid who went bad and Spider-Miles was a troubled kid gone good. Further more, in the first movie when Miles met his version of Spider-Man, and their Spidey Senses interacted with each other, the visual of Mile's senses were green and purple (Prowler's colors) but changed to red and blue to symbolize his destiny changing course. And because the writers are insane, Mile's is wearing a blue down jacket with a red hoodie at his father's party. When he ends up in Earth 42, he puts on a green down jacket with a purple hoodie, a subtle foreshadow of who he is that universe.

Another fun fact about Donald Glover that I didn't hear them mention is not only did he inspire the character of Miles Morales but he also voiced the version of Miles from Season 3 of the 2012 Ultimate Spider-Man show! Which was also the first time Miles was ever animated!
1:09:45 The theme that plays when Prowler Miles is revealed is the SAME SONG as the movie's intro (which was followed by Gwen's drums, before meshing with it). Then, Gwen's drums come in as she's recruiting everyone at the end. This could foreshadow Prowler Miles siding with our Miles and Gwen to see his dad again.
Just to give an example of the great visual story telling. when Gwen's dad finds out it's her his background is blue split down the middle. The blue representing his identity as a cop and the split representing the conflict within him. when he decided to arrester it cuts away then back, the background is a solid blue, representing his choice. didn't pick up on that until like my third watch and keep finding new stuff.
To add onto that, when her background changes to her Spider eyes it’s because that’s all he can see her as, not his daughter but the spider criminal he’s been chasing all this time which influences that decision to arrest her
Not trying to poop on your parade, as she does have a trans flag in her room, buuuuut also pink, blue and white is her suit colors. Blue can symbolize depression, while the warm colors like pink can represent like warmth of love, and the white is just the overwhelming of multiple emotions. It has tons of meanings.
I’m like 75% sure that it was either confirmed or alluded to that while Gwen herself isn’t, She is an allegory for being trans, Like someone said higher up, Her dad can only see the person he thinks of (A criminal) but can’t see what she’s trying to show him, I think Cinemawins explained it in his video but it’s been a while so I don’t remember, Idk I at least personally relate to her since when I came out my mom was… Not as accepting TvT But I just think it’s a cool thing for her character, Plus yeah the protection sign in her room is a nice bonus
This is one of the best movie I've ever watched. Every single frame is like an artwork, the jokes and memes are funny, the colors are amazingly vibrant, the music great as usual. I felt almost enraged watching it (and Into the Spider Verse), like how can a movie be so so incredibly creative animation-wise??? Can't wait for Beyond!
"What's important is not standing by while allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing if you don't get that, then you don't know the first thing about being spider-man." -Spider-man edge of time I kid you not this quote came to my head during the "intervention" scene and as a long-time spider-man fan, it made the experience of watching this movie in theaters much more epic
I love the meta commentary with the penguin. "Go easy on the penguin" becomes "Go easy on the Peng Gwen" (a version of Gwen). So really he's saying to go easy on herself 😭
I still can’t get over how beautiful this movie is. How far we’ve come in animated movies is just amazing and spider-verse is leading the way for sure 💯🤙🔥
Its hilarious how up until we seen Prowler Miles, we didn't essentially know who it was. But when you rewatch the first movie, when Miles meets Peter after being bitten, his colors change from green and purple to red and blue, matching Peter's colors. It literally showed us the change in our Miles' destiny. Thats just great foreshadowing.
Shoutout to the editor for the great overlay at 33:13! Also when I first saw this movie the song Am I Dreaming was stuck in my head and now I can't stop listening to it cause it is so catchy!!
The Spot has a hilarious introduction & somehow turns into the most terrifying monster in creation. This may be the greatest comic book film of all time. I’m so invested in them & the journey…..and every time that brass section of Miles’s theme comes in I loose it and the emotions 😢take over. Every scene is so beautiful, but Gwen & her Dad in a impressionist room scape is jaw dropping
Definitely delivered all the hype that I had after the first movie. I saw it twice already, which is very rare for me, as I prefer to wait at least two years before rewatching movies. However, I had my first time ever trip to the US in June (and from my country it's a 10 hours trip) and when I came back in September, the whole flight was very quick due to the rewatch of not only Across the Spider-Verse, but also Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 3 (also my 2nd time watching) and HBO's The Last of Us (my favourite video game and again, 2nd time watching). My top 3 things that I've watched this year, simply perfect. And it's so beautiful that I had to buy my first ever art-book (not counting art books from collector's editions of video games) for freakin 40 bucks. Worth every cent
i thought that Into the spiderverse was one of the most visually stunning movies i've ever seen for the longest time, but this movie just blew that outta the water, sky-high. every SINGLE scene is just gorgeous, i've rewatched it more times than i can count just because i love LOOKING at it
Shout out to the editor at 33:13. What a sick choice to overlay the vision like that. It looked great!
Thanks for mentioning this in the comments! I almost always watch only full length (then the discussion after) and sometimes miss out on the cool effects the editor puts in the reactions!

So, when I was watching this in theaters and we get to the scene where Gwen and Miles are in his room, and she opens his toy that's he's been keeping in it's original packaging. My literal first thought was, "Oh Eric is gonna hate this part."
I don't even do that and I hated that part.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395I can’t tell if you’re joking or not but it’s a collectible meaning at that point its worth a whole lot more in that package than being used a couple of times and put away the exact same way it was prior to opening it.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395i mean nuclear bombs were made to be used but…
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 ey, it is Miles toy. He can do whatever he wants with it, either play with it or just leave it in it's box. It wasn't very polite of Gwen to straight up go and unbox it without even asking him first. That is like me being invited to a friend's room, and deciding: "woah, i'm tired. Gonna sleep in your bed, g'night zzzzzzzzzzzzzz".

I absolutely loved Spot because he’s the first “scientist turned into a monster during experiment gone wrong” character who actually ACTS like a scientist.
He’s constantly experimenting and picking apart the broader applications of his powers over the course of the movie. And unlike every other supervillain (who usually just tolerates having a kryptonite) when he realises he can run out of holes, he quickly brainstorms a way to get rid of the weakness by recreating the accident that transformed him on a much larger scale. He's far from the joke everyone sees him as.
Interesting
I totally agree with you but I think Lizard fills that role too
@@split2961 Lizard still acted like a super genius extremely confident person who already seemed to know exactly what he needed and wanted to do. Obviously with time his ambition became more than what he initially thought of but Spot actually seemed curious, natural about his new gained abilities and tried discovering more about his powers throughout the movie
I dunno if I'd go that far. Most characters tend to have to learn how to use their abilities, either through coordinated practice or happy accidents. It's an old hat to have someone fuck around with their powers and see what they can do. That's not particularly scientist-esque, it's just the nature of storytelling.
I enjoy the fact he was basically a joke villain in the comics and he was made into a far, FAR more dangerous threat. Like Pockadot Man from Suicide Squad, I enjoy when writers take a weak, lame, forgettable, jokey character from the comics and twist them into something that is legitimately sad, heartfelt, thought provoking, memorable or just plain cool, character.
I love how all versions put on a deeper 'disguise' voice when talking to someone they know.
If I was a superhero I would do that
Would be funny if Spider-Noir's disguised voice is high pitch instead
Batman does it as well
And they always revert to a Brooklyn accent. Or at least try to hahah

My favorite scene is seeing Miguel trying to break open the portal.
I like how his traumatic past is very clearly influencing his personality for the worst.
Most tragic backstories are just used to give a character motivation, but you take one look at Miguel and go “yep that’s definitely what a man who watched his child disintegrate in his arms while believing it was entirely his fault would act like”.
U can tell by Gwen and Peter B faces, that Miguel is an absolute loon, trying to rip and claw his way to Miles. What is Miguel gonna do the next time he sees Miles, because Gwen’s team might find him before Miguel does.
@@scruffd0g193 all I know is, after Miles escaped, the gloves are officially off with any one siding with Miles or Gwen.
I LOVE that he's a real morally grey character. They're doing some great work with his character, his methods are questionable but his intentions are the best.
@@scruffd0g193he's gonna try and stop the kid from destroying ANOTHER universe.
He’s projecting all of his angry and hurt feelings onto Miles, he hates the kid just for existing.
Like, Miles’s origin was indeed an anomaly, a fluke.
And he’s *still* able to live a relatively happy and fulfilling life, unlike Miguel who watched an entire world die for the anomaly he caused.
This pisses Miguel off beyond belief.
If he can’t be happy, why should Miles?
Fun fact : the Spider-Man in the black and white suit was metro booming , the producer of the soundtrack.
I was wondering who that was, just not enough to look into it I guess. His vocals stick-out for some reason, almost like they don't fit in the sense of weird ADR minus.... it being VO so that doesn't make much sense lol

@@flaggerifyThey had been working on ATSV while ITSV was being worked on. that's how I imagine it worked, but also it took 4 FREAKING YEARS. 4 years of remote artists submitting color keys and various images for the movie.
Eric’s face at “To be continued” was everyone in my theater. It says a lot about the movie when the worst thing about it is that I wanted it to keep going, 11/10 film
Exactly my thoughts. The only complaint with this movie is the cliffhanger and nothing else. I think the movie should’ve been 5 hours long, I totally would’ve watched it the whole way through considering how fast time passed by watching this film
The animators barely got a break and they didn't get paid. And also they said they needed a break. Also I don't know how they forget that it's part one it said it in the trailer
@@averywot. The cliffhanger is fine and in the long run it won't be a cliffhanger once the next movie comes out.
Movie trailers exist for a reason. It's as if no one cared enough to know it was a part one.
@@SwordTuneTons of people (like myself) don't watch trailers for movies we KNOW we're gonna watch, in order to avoid any information
13:34 you can actually see Miles-42 in Spot's flashback, he's got the braids. It looks like they grabbed the spider right before it was supposed to bite him
That’s such a good catch holy shit
Wow, how didn't I notice that? That's co cool
Awesome catch! I feel like I could watch this movie a hundred times just for how many little details they have in there
I never noticed this!
Was it not supposed to bite Peter Parker tho?
Sun-Spider isn't paralyzed! She has a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (just like me, and the creator of the character 🥰), which is a connective tissue disorder that affects essentially the glue that holds your body together. One of the things it causes is hypermobility, which I'm sure comes in handy as a Spiderperson, but it also causes a lot of pain and mobility problems, which is why Sun-Spider uses a wheelchair and crutches :) It was so cool to hear you guys talk about Sun-Spider because she means so much to me, I never dreamed of seeing a Spiderperson onscreen using the same crutches I do. Just wanted to inform you a bit about her character some more! Loved the reaction as always!
I have EDS to!!!
It's great that Spider-man fans born with such health issues can see stuff like this in movies nowadays
Isn't that what Zach from Try Guys has? Cool to spread awareness and have representation.
@joeyralston3773 She's the one in the wheelchair mech that has the quick exchange with Miles near the start of the chase; "I'm a huge fan of your work"
She was my favourite Variant in the film! I don't have any mobility issues, but Sun-Spider is so unique and fascinating that I want a full series dedicated to her.
They managed to make every spiderman's movement different: Gwen has long graceful swings and jumps, because she does ballet, Miles incorporates parkour into movement (In the first movie Peter told him spidermen swing and not run, but the movie was about Miles doing his own thing, so he combined the two). And Pavitr is the only spiderman that uses his legs too. And Miguel goes full werewolf mode and climbs with his claws.
I only realised watching this reaction, Miguel can't "stick" like the others right? So it's not even that he chooses to claw into the train to keep up, he has to.
@@CRITTER_FROG Correct. Miguel's powers are a little different from a normal spider-person. His webs, as they said in the reaction, seem to be like Darkseid's (DC) omega beams. His fangs and claws. He also has a few other powers that weren't shown in the movie. Like telepathy, he ages slower and has speedy regeneration, has enhanced eyesight, ect ect.
(pretty sure his webs in this film are just to make it so you know he's a little... different.)
His powers are genetically modified unlike a normal-ish spider-person who got theirs from the radioactive spider.
@@swusi8874 I'm not even sure if Miguel's claws are natural, cuz when Miles overloaded his suit and threw him, he was unable to grab back onto the train for a bit because his fingers were normal. Makes me think the claws are part of the suit too (I haven't read the comics though so I know I might be wrong)
@@chronosclaimsall The claws are part of his body. He also has no spider sense, just heightened senses.
@@chronosclaimsallkinda, well It depends on whose writing the character cuz for example in the Comics Spider-Man in general CANT stick to walks with shoes on cuz of the thick layer shoes have. Which is why most spider-people wear tight spandex outfits so their skin can get close as possible to the surface of something to stick. In the Movie tho the writers decided to ignore that part of Spider-Man and animated Miles walking on walks with shoes on, same for Gwen when she wears the chucks.
Those last 10-15 minutes of the movie are honestly the best of any comic book movie, maybe even sci-fi or action movie in general. The Alternate reality reveal, Prowler Miles, Gwen forming her team, Miles with the "don't watch the eyes, watch the hands" callback, The reprise of the Spiderverse theme with electric guitar and drums overlayed with Spot's theme, everything about it is perfect and makes me grin ear to ear whenever i watch it.
The most excited I’ve ever been about a sequel since watching Infinity Wars. Probably even more excited about this one
Hell, the opening with Gwen is basically a short film on its own
and the song ‘am i dreaming?’ playing at the start of the credits, gives me chills every time and really fills you with an insane feeling after the cliffhanger
Eric and Calvin continuing to laugh about the cakes during what's supposed to be an emotional scene is one of the most Eric and Calvin things ever
50:02;So do I, really reminds me of the "Spider-man Unlimited" theme song.
Daniel Kaluuya’s Hobie was the standout in this movie for me. Phil Lord and Chris miller have said we’ll explore his world in beyond the spiderverse and I couldn’t be more happy
hobie is my favorite character 😄
@@pinapplegaming5781Hobie was the favorite character of many. The best side character for sure
I love that he got to do a fun character and not just another guy trapped in a horror movie. He does those great too, but it was great hearing him have fun with a character.
@@chelscara agreed
@@chelscaraguess you forgot the biggest movie he was in wasn't a horror movie at all lol
56:29 No that is part of the point. He could have became invisible at any time but didn't becuase he was purposely leading all the spidermen away from the building.
Miguel would have saw him anyway because of his enhanced vision.
@@mttylerdurden9 I don't know about vision but being a vamp he could smell his blood 😵💫
@@Kanpuriye he's not a vampire.
@@mttylerdurden9 Yess he is
@@Kanpuriye no he's not. That was just a joke Gwen made. His fangs aren't for sucking blood, they're for injecting a victim with a paralyzing venom that renders them unable to move.
A cool little detail that I like is when miles gets knocked out by earth 42 miles his spider sense doesn’t go off, this is because spider sense doesn’t detect yourself as a threat
Holy shit, I never noticed that! That makes perfect sense as to why I noticed that Miles' spider-sense never went off.
Fun fact: To show how much rebel Hobie is, they made his vest in a different frame rate than the rest of Hobie
His entire frame rate was inconsistent with everything around him.
Yeah, but what I mean is that even his own frame rate is different for him, his guitar and his vest @@Alterego912
@@dominikstasiak4247 he truly doesn't believe in consistency.

The concept of “hammerspace” just being a normal enough occurrence across universes to where it has a name is just super fun.

Also props to editor for amazing editing!
Thank you! First edit for Blind Wave so really appreciate the compliment!
@@FlynnTheRedheadyou did great!!
Spider-Verse revolutionized animation. I’m glad to see projects like Arcane, Puss in Boots, & TMNT being influenced by it and putting their own spin on the gorgeous art style & heartfelt storytelling.
I wish Blind Wave would react to those last 2 films I mentioned. I’m surprised they never checked out The Last Wish after how much praise it got. I would hope they react to Mutant Mayhem since they’re big turtles fans.
@@SpiritxEnigmaAgreed on puss in boots & tmnt being influenced but the studio that made arcane has done similar stuff before into the spiderverse
Not tryna downplay into the spiderverse, just wanted to mention that since people might get slightly misinformed 😁
@@FlynnTheRedhead You blew it out of the park, hope we continue to see your work
I love that Eric looked away at 1:06:55 so he missed who really knocked Miles out so the final scene's mystery played out all the more for him.
I forgot how good the score was for building hope and tension throughout the entire movie.
When I saw him miss that, I was so happy. The movie slapped hard for him
I noticed he tends to do that a lot, he always talks or look away when something important is getting revealed lol, it always makes me cringe
just to clear things up each spider-person has MULTIPLE canon events not just one. Canon events are events EVERY spider person WILL go through at some point in their lives. So the death of uncle arron is just one of Miles' canon events as is Jeff's death. They're two of Miles' canon events. He will have more after and may have even had one or two in between.
Confirmed Canon events from this movie:
The spider-person gains their powers from an incident with a spider. (typically a spider bite but Peni and Spider-ham shows theres room for variation)
Death of a closed loved one (typically a family member) to teach the spider-person a lesson of responsibility.
Upside down kiss with a love interest.
Spider-person Bonds with an alien symbiote.
Death of a police captain close to the spider-person.
Spider person temporarily quits and leaves their suit in the garbage.
Spider-person is trapped under rubble and lifts it off themselves in a feat of strength and willpower.
Spider-person gets married.
Spider-person is buried alive by a villain and crawls out of their grave.
Death of love interest (assumed, heavily implied by Gwen)
2099 and spider-woman also show variation on the spider bite (assuming this spider-woman has the same origin as the comics one). Both of them got their powers by experiments with spider cells, not an actual bite.
Plus from Miguel’s perspective 1610 is already teetering on the brink since the canon was already messed with by Miles getting bit. He needs to make sure Miles experiences every event cause just one not going right can destroy the universe.
@@lukewarm1242yea it’s kinda the same, her origin in the comics is that she had some kind of disease when she was a kid, as a last ditch effort her father put her in a cryostasis tube/pod. And injected her and the atmosphere in her pod with this serum that had a mixture of spider and other insect type DNA. She woke up like 2 decades later as an adult with somewhat spider powers. She had all the powers except for spider sense and web swinging, she could also fly and shoot these energy blast/zaps.
@@lukewarm1242same for Miguel except he is more spider than man. Which is why he has fangs and claws, he sadly doesn’t have spider sense which explains how he wasn’t able to predict/dodge vulture in the beginning. Instead of spidersense the writers gave him a much more enhanced physical prowess. So like yk how Peter is like really flexible, Agile, Super Strong, etc… so Miguel has all of that but ENHANCED/Way Stronger. Which is why his eye sight and his Listening is also enhanced.
spider-person stop a vehicle to collapse and hurt people (like the train, the boat [tom holland], the helicopter [gwen])
1:01:50 blew my mind, that whole swing sequence with his inner thoughts felt like an old school Spider-Man comic cover brought to life, all his inner turmoil literally surrounding him, closing in on him as it builds and builds, great stuff.
1:15:57 i think Pav had his ''with great powers comes great responsibilities'' moment because that's what pushes them to become a hero. The cop dying event is separate from that
I think it would've come up in his flashback if he had. The movie intentionally made it seem like something was "off" about his backstory because there was: he hadn't had his defining moment yet.
It's kinda like Miles before he lost his uncle and had _his_ defining moment, except much less awkward. Miles was still trying to be Spider-Man, but, before that moment he had with his uncle, he could've simply quit at any point.
@@Gestrid Yeah it's kinda confusing because the movie treats ASM90 as THE defining canon event for many of the Spider-people when we know is always the uncle's death. It could simply be a case where that would have been Pav's defining moment instead of his uncle or aunt dying but we don't know for sure if that had already happened to him.
Pav uses his bangles with his webs like Wonder Woman uses her lasso very cool.
@@alexsilva28
I wouldn't say Across treats ASM90 as The Defining Canon Event, it just focus the most on that because it is the most relevant Canon Event to the story here.
ASM90 may not have been Pav's Great Responsibility Moment, the point of his uniquely pleasant backstory could be to subtly reinforce the main lesson/ question of Spiderverse: Does Spiderman NEED trauma to work as a character?
Pavitr has it real good compared to most Spideys, but he is still a good guy.
Will Miles saving the cop and the girl doom Pav to become a villain?
Or is that a ridiculous assertion?
I like the added detail at 53:49, when Miguel calls Miles the "original Anomaly", his glitching has him briefly wearing the old store-bought costume he wore in the first film, showing how the accusation actually cuts him very deeply and digs into his old fears of being spider-man's inadequate replacement. It makes it even more awesome when he then proceeds to shrug off the fear with his rebuttal to Miguel's face, a guy who is literally pinning him down and giving voice to Miles' self-doubts straight at him where he can't run away from them like he did before....so he doesn't. Like he does when Hobbie is subtly encouraging him during their talking whilst en-route to meet miguel, he confronts the obstacle head-on and pushes through it, his own way.
I love that when the renaissance vulture pulls out a new weapon or regrows his wings, a bunch of schematics and calculations appear first. The attention to detail in this movie is insane!
13:21;Like Father like Son.
The speech Miles mom gives him before he leaves makes me cry so much, as a Black Latino boy, my Hispanic mother gave me nearly the same talk, about not allowing other people tell me that I didn't belong where I wanted to be. So beautiful.
For me this is a Perfect Sequel, the animation is even better, the music is even better, the story is well planned and developed, Miles as the protagonist works great, the antagonists are very good, Gwen is a fantastic secondary, the Finale is pure Hype, I love it
I still think the story in the first one is slightly better, the first one has a little bit more planting and pay off. But its only better than the second movie cause the first movie has a near perfect script.
I personally prefer the first film since I found it funnier and generally thought it felt like a more complete film whereas this is just half a story. That said, I expect that (like Empire Strikes Back) I'll regard this one even more highly once the third film comes out and I see how the story concludes
James Cameron is wrong when he says Marvel movies aren't as epic as Villenueve & Jackson's movies.
Logan The Wolverine
INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE & ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE
Raimi's SPIDER-MAN
Guardians of the Galaxy, those were epic.
Agreed. On my top fave sequels of all time
If the third movie is even near this level of quality, Spiderverse goes down as one of the greatest trilogies of all time, cause almost all of the good 3-part sagas you can think of have at least one relative dud. It’s crazy
The Director said that the reveal that Miles is the first anomaly is a meta-commentary on what led to the creation of the first Black Spider-Man. Some fans believe that Miles doesn't deserve his power or belong in the mask.
It's not that he doesn't deserve it. But comic book Miles is basically Perer Parker. Animation Miles is much better. Also they just shod horn Miles and don't know what to do with his character.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078Unfortunately, some people think Miles doesn't deserve to be Spider-Man because he's not Peter and his skin color.
@parkerboy795 I think it's the minority that are offended by color. If you did a side by side of him and Peter they are the same. Instead of doing another Miguel, they just changed Parker to a different skin color. This is the comics. This Miles is much better. I did enjoy the Morales comics, just I see why people don't like him.
He's not the first black Spider-Man. Miles debuted in 2011 in Ultimate Fallout #1. Old Man Logan, which released in 2008, introduced Ashley Barton, a black woman and Peter's granddaughter, as Spider-Man. Pretty bizarre for the director to get it so wrong considering Ashley is literally in the film he's making.
@@beag_dragan He said Spider-Man, not Spider-Woman, and she wasn't replacing the beloved Peter Parker. and there was some outrage with Miles Morales when he initially came out.
Also shout to the editor for the overlay moment of the reaction. That was insane to watch. Good job
Yes yes yess 👏👏

Fun Fact: For anyone who didn’t know, or stick around for the discussion, in this shot 12:06, there are 2 newspaper articles that are the exact same articles from Agents of SHIELD season 3 episode 22 that show Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson/Quake.
1:28:52 omg Eric’s reaction is so many AOS fans reactions 😂. The slow “oh that’s cool” to the realisation of “WAIT A SECOND!?” and then we get to the clowning of “she gonna be in the next one?” 😂
For clarification, Miguel is not a vampire, he has sharp teeth because they’re venomous and can paralyze his enemies, that’s what he was trying with Vulture.
Not going too deep into the backstory, he was put into an experiment that altered his genetic code completely so that he is, at a microscopic level, 50% spider. So it’s ironic Miles calls him out on actually being Spider-Man when he’s arguably more spider like then the rest of them
But does he has spidey sense? He didn’t know when vulture was behind him in the intro and he relied on the “snitch” in the car to tell him where miles was.
@@kristinjoni(based on the comics) he doesn’t
@@kristinjoni Depending on how close to the comics they stuck, he doesn't have spidey sense - instead all of his senses are highly enhanced, especially his vision. He can see in complete darkness, see things from great distances away and he has accelerated vision (he basically sees fast moving objects in "slow motion") - which only works as effectively as spidey sense if the thing coming at him is in his line of sight.
@@kristinjoni spoilers below for the character
Miguel is SPIDERman. Rather than being bitten by a radioactive spider he literally had spider genes put into his body. He thus has poison fangs, heightened senses (but no spider sense), strength, regeneration, and slow aging
@@kristinjoni Probably not in this movie either, mainly because of the moment when the Renaissance Vulture gets back up, spider sense would've alerted him before getting hit
The fact that Calvin called the Earth 42 twist right from the moment the computer registered Miles’ universe as Earth-42 blew my mind. Detective Calvin wins again.
You can also tell from the different details in 42 world and the different eye colour that Rio has.
@@SwordTunethat’s not what clued him in though
I caught it in my first viewing too. It paints a whole different kind of anxiety over the sequence and Miles running home and rambling to his mom. Instead of being confused by his mom acting off with the mention of his hair and not knowing Spider-Man and the being surprised when we realize he’s in the wrong place, I spent that entire time wondering when he’d realize he wasn’t actually home.
I just ADORE the shadowy art style of Earth-42. Give me a whole movie of that.
I mean, we’ll probably get a good bit of that in the next movie
I saw five or six Spider Men in this movie I want a full movie or atleast to star in a What If-esque series showing the origins and journeys of different Spideys.
I'm so interested in Cowboy-Spiderman.
55:41;Sorry man, but he's going back Home.
I've seen a couple others say it but I want to add another shout out for Flynn and the crazy overlay editing in this, really helped cement the epicness of those moments into the actual reaction as well! Great job :)
Thanks Wolfer!
I appreciate how editors keep as much of the movie in as possible.

The editing at 33:17 is literally so cool, plus the way it transitions back to the original picture-in-picture is so great
I think the best thing about this movie is how they got the interactions between the parents and the kids. I love to see how they react to each other and the difficulties that they have with one another and how they all try to work thru them.
28:26;Me whenever I start winning almost every round in the "Sonic forces" app game.
Miles is the living embodiment of create your own story, don't opt for a path chosen for you, YOU make the path, YOU lead your life, YOU prove that destiny isn't given, it is made.
And being Spider-Man is not about sacrifice because Spider-Man and the rest of the heroes are not gods. Well, except Thor, Loki and Hercules they are gods. But never mind that. Being Spider-Man is about responsibility.
I love Gwen and Miles cross dimensional connection, how she felt his fear and pain.

yeah I'm surprised they didnt call that out. i loved that detail.
my favorite joke that NOBODY talks about is the evil "Helvetica" guy that is locked up and after he threatens miles, miles says "BOLD".

Not gonna lie, this movie and the last movie are the most incredible things we’ve probably ever gotten in terms of animation. The amount of technical and insane animation things in these movies is unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
You could literally do a whole animation class based around Hobie himself, which is nuts!
Spider-Verse 🤝 Arcane 🤝 Puss in Boots: The Last Wish 🤝 TMNT: Mutant Mayhem
Giving us gorgeous art styles & stories with heart!
I wish Blind Wave would react to those last 2. After I played Spider-Man PS4 (another top-tier adaptation), I went to see ITSV as an MCU fan & I came out the theater a Miles Morales fan with a newfound appreciation for animation. I will forever be thankful for this franchise!
@@SpiritxEnigma Add Clone Wars, The Bad Guys, The Peanuts Movie, The Lego Movie, Paperman, and Feast to that list!

Peter B sort of makes a good point that tragedy happens. That’s part of life. Bad things happen sometimes. But there’s a difference between accepting loss and actively making sure people die because “that’s how the story is supposed to go”.
I don't think a movie's end credits have ever had as much of an impact on me as this one. just something about that song after the high tension build up hit me in a different way, such an amazing experience
18:49;Me whenever I'm listening to an argument.
I think I'm in that rare group of people who were aware that this was only Part 1 of this story, so "To Be Continued" didn't shock nor disappoint me one bit. Definitely my favorite animated movie of all time, it's so so good.
I'm surprised it's a rare group of people, to be honest. I expected more people to have seen and remembered that first trailer.
@@Gestrid I saw the first trailer when it first dropped, but clearly the remembering part didn't happen, because I have no idea why that would clue someone in to it being a part 1. I also try to avoid spoilers/theories about the movies before I watch them, which often means I'll miss that sort of info. (for instance, I didn't realise/forgot(?) that Infinity War was a part 1, either :P ).
Same here. Loved the cliffhanger in fact, it builds anticipation
Miles in ITSV: “I run better than I swing!”
Miles in ATSV: *literally outruns every single Spider-person chasing after him*
God I love these movies!!!!
Spider-man can't save everyone... BUT he always try...
this movie... you can watch it 10 time and again discover a new detail, new forshadowing or other things, this is masterpiece
33:06
The editing at 33:15 is so good, and great timing too. Works so well at that part of the reaction. Dope
When I saw it in theater I figured out he was in the wrong universe when the mom mentioned comic con because him not knowing what comic con was in the first movie was one of my favorite lines
I had no idea they threw a Daisy reference in there and I love it. It was definitely just an animator decided for fun to throw it in the background. Animators love throwing random easter eggs into the background of shots for fun.
Love that Aaron brought up the work done by Donald Glover to push for a black Spider-Man. It’s an incredible story and if you happen to not know it I implore you to learn more about it.
Editor deserves a raise for that one edit. Coolest overlay yet.
I got a job out of it, the best raise of all!

I saw this in theaters last year with my old man. When the "To be continued" popped up on the screen the entire theater was quiet. After a pin drop, all you heard was my father screaming "WHAT THE FUCK???"
one of my favorite moments in a movie theater.
I don't understand how it took this long for people to make the Spot good.
PORTALS ARE THE COOLEST POWER. Everyone loves the game Portal, and Doctor Strange's portals are one of the best powers in the MCU!
You know the movie is good when the "most replayed" part of the video is every single minute of the movie 🤣🤣
I love that they included Charlotte Webber/Sun-Spider in the movie
going from a fanmade spidersona in 2018, to a canon spider in the comics, to being featured in Across the Spiderverse is one hell of a journey
dude holy fuck, whoever did that overlay needs a god damn raise, that was incredible.

So, someone pointed out to me that Earth 42 Miles was supposed to be bit while he was at school (You can see the back of his braids during Spot's exposition) while our Miles was bit while he was blowing off his school work to do a graffiti piece with Aaron. Miles-Prowler was a good kid who went bad and Spider-Miles was a troubled kid gone good. Further more, in the first movie when Miles met his version of Spider-Man, and their Spidey Senses interacted with each other, the visual of Mile's senses were green and purple (Prowler's colors) but changed to red and blue to symbolize his destiny changing course. And because the writers are insane, Mile's is wearing a blue down jacket with a red hoodie at his father's party. When he ends up in Earth 42, he puts on a green down jacket with a purple hoodie, a subtle foreshadow of who he is that universe.

1:28:50 I'm so happy that they included this easter egg in this movie. AoS was always overlooked so this warms my heart.
Another fun fact about Donald Glover that I didn't hear them mention is not only did he inspire the character of Miles Morales but he also voiced the version of Miles from Season 3 of the 2012 Ultimate Spider-Man show! Which was also the first time Miles was ever animated!
this was one of the best reactions i've seen and the editing?! chef's kiss
Thank you so much!
1:09:45 The theme that plays when Prowler Miles is revealed is the SAME SONG as the movie's intro (which was followed by Gwen's drums, before meshing with it). Then, Gwen's drums come in as she's recruiting everyone at the end.
This could foreshadow Prowler Miles siding with our Miles and Gwen to see his dad again.
The editing on that spot scene was peak 😚🤌
32:40
Just to give an example of the great visual story telling. when Gwen's dad finds out it's her his background is blue split down the middle. The blue representing his identity as a cop and the split representing the conflict within him. when he decided to arrester it cuts away then back, the background is a solid blue, representing his choice. didn't pick up on that until like my third watch and keep finding new stuff.
To add onto that, when her background changes to her Spider eyes it’s because that’s all he can see her as, not his daughter but the spider criminal he’s been chasing all this time which influences that decision to arrest her
All the pink, blue and white tones with Gwen makes my heart sing, if you know you know.
Didn't notice that, my tattoo agrees if you know what I mean
Also she has a flag saying to protect the kids in her room as well
Not trying to poop on your parade, as she does have a trans flag in her room, buuuuut also pink, blue and white is her suit colors. Blue can symbolize depression, while the warm colors like pink can represent like warmth of love, and the white is just the overwhelming of multiple emotions. It has tons of meanings.
I’m like 75% sure that it was either confirmed or alluded to that while Gwen herself isn’t, She is an allegory for being trans, Like someone said higher up, Her dad can only see the person he thinks of (A criminal) but can’t see what she’s trying to show him, I think Cinemawins explained it in his video but it’s been a while so I don’t remember, Idk I at least personally relate to her since when I came out my mom was… Not as accepting TvT
But I just think it’s a cool thing for her character, Plus yeah the protection sign in her room is a nice bonus
21:24 I love how mesmerized you all look with gwen holds her hair up and webs herself down including the soundtrack lol so gooooood
That editing looks so much fun!
It was!
I love Eric blaming Doctor Who every time he gets a "To Be Continued" now.
I honestly put this movie up there with Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Knight as one of the greatest movie sequels ever made!
Agreed
It dragged too much in the middle.
@@flaggerify it’s called world building.
@@flaggerify it was literally build-up for the climax if that wasn't there you would be complaining about it being rushed
@@verdurite AKA dragging in the middle.
This is one of the best movie I've ever watched. Every single frame is like an artwork, the jokes and memes are funny, the colors are amazingly vibrant, the music great as usual. I felt almost enraged watching it (and Into the Spider Verse), like how can a movie be so so incredibly creative animation-wise??? Can't wait for Beyond!

"What's important is not standing by while allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing if you don't get that, then you don't know the first thing about being spider-man."
-Spider-man edge of time
I kid you not this quote came to my head during the "intervention" scene and as a long-time spider-man fan, it made the experience of watching this movie in theaters much more epic
No. He's right. Miguel O'hara doesn't know the first thing about being Spider-Man.
I’m so glad Eric mentioned Doctor Who when it ended. I could see the PTSD in his eyes from the “to be continued” TARDIS noise 🤣
33:19 this part was so sick! Amazing editing and didnt take away from the movie at all!
48:31 And thus began the schooling of Spider Society by Professor Morales😭 Absolute poetry
I love the meta commentary with the penguin. "Go easy on the penguin" becomes "Go easy on the Peng Gwen" (a version of Gwen). So really he's saying to go easy on herself 😭
I still can’t get over how beautiful this movie is. How far we’ve come in animated movies is just amazing and spider-verse is leading the way for sure 💯🤙🔥
49:14
When the spider is taken from Earth 42. You can see that Earth's Miles with braids sitting taking notes in the background.
1:04:47
Its hilarious how up until we seen Prowler Miles, we didn't essentially know who it was. But when you rewatch the first movie, when Miles meets Peter after being bitten, his colors change from green and purple to red and blue, matching Peter's colors. It literally showed us the change in our Miles' destiny. Thats just great foreshadowing.
Shoutout to the editor for the great overlay at 33:13! Also when I first saw this movie the song Am I Dreaming was stuck in my head and now I can't stop listening to it cause it is so catchy!!
The cool thing is Ganke was actually playing Spider-Man 2, and this movie came out before gameplay was even revealed. Super cool.
1:06:22;Answer=The Prowler.
The Spot has a hilarious introduction & somehow turns into the most terrifying monster in creation.
This may be the greatest comic book film of all time. I’m so invested in them & the journey…..and every time that brass section of Miles’s theme comes in I loose it and the emotions 😢take over. Every scene is so beautiful, but Gwen & her Dad in a impressionist room scape is jaw dropping
Definitely delivered all the hype that I had after the first movie. I saw it twice already, which is very rare for me, as I prefer to wait at least two years before rewatching movies. However, I had my first time ever trip to the US in June (and from my country it's a 10 hours trip) and when I came back in September, the whole flight was very quick due to the rewatch of not only Across the Spider-Verse, but also Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 3 (also my 2nd time watching) and HBO's The Last of Us (my favourite video game and again, 2nd time watching). My top 3 things that I've watched this year, simply perfect. And it's so beautiful that I had to buy my first ever art-book (not counting art books from collector's editions of video games) for freakin 40 bucks. Worth every cent
"Don't kick the drums Gwen."
"ITS CALLED A KICKDRUM!"
Best response you could possibly give.
49:23
i thought that Into the spiderverse was one of the most visually stunning movies i've ever seen for the longest time, but this movie just blew that outta the water, sky-high.
every SINGLE scene is just gorgeous, i've rewatched it more times than i can count just because i love LOOKING at it
Andy Samberg from Brooklyn Nine Nine was the voice of Ben Reilly's Spiderman 😆
43:15;That one *WASN'T* supposed to happen.
The edit yall did when spot turned into black spot was fiiiire!!
You know the movie is awesome....when the editor goes the extra mile on the reactions !!!! 🤘
"A vampire good guy? I'd pay good money to see that!"
🤣🤣🤣
47:03 He’s as Spectacular as the day we lost him…
33:15 - this was such a cool idea to do this, looked so good
its crazy how donald glover wearing a spidey costime in Community is what inspired the creation of Miles Morales.
