[@gibbsterV]

idk if they did this or if it was just my eyes playing tricks but I felt like Hobie was on a lower frame rate sort of like how Miles was at the start of Into the Spider-Verse to show how he was untrained, of course in this case it would be to make Hobie's movements seem more noticeable and powerful but that might have just been the newspaper style that made it seem that way

[@pudgysaurus2829]

I really liked Hobie, my only problem is that Pavitr acted like him and Gwen were in some sort of relationship, and Gwen even wore his shoes. Feels like there was stuff cut out about Hobie and Gwen that wouldve definitely added more to Hobie's character given how chill he was towards Miles.

I feel that way too in a way. Once again, this story, and particularly this film is circumventing many expectations, as well as solidifying the fact that basically all Spider-Man stories can be Canon (which wasn’t a widely accepted popular opinion over a decade ago, especially outside of comic book, fandom) as they all exist within their own universities, even if this wasn’t specifically stated within their own comics or animations/live actions before. The one to truly start this that has been widely accepted, apart from previous Marvel movies that showed the existence of the Multiverse, was 100% No Way Home. That film is still for me, my all-time favourite live-action Spider-Man film now, and truly solidifies all of the Spider-Man stories are canon within their own universities, not just one of attempts, and the Miles Morales/Spider-Verse movies take this to the pinnacle of perfection.

[@143Oshawott]

(SPOILERS! but only for 1 character) Hobie, no joke, was the funniest character in this entire movie. How he just stayed for the drama then upped and left when stuff hits the fan is amazing. He liked Miles and hated following orders, so when he was ordered to attack Miles, bro just. quit. gone. dipped. never seen for the rest of them film (-the watch he left gwen but even then, he wasn't present) Sad that he left but cannot think of a better nor funnier way for him to leave.

plus the audience is lead to agree with miles at the start of the film : Spot is just a standard "villain-of-the-week" character, and nothing more. they didnt even feature The Spot in a lot of the trailers, so when he first shows on screen, you're like "oh, this is just the average robbery. he's not a big deal." it works SO well.

Spot might be the villain of the movie, but hes not the only antagonist and Miguel fills that role very well throughout that second half of the film. They did an amazing job building him up and making him seem like such a huge threat to miles. And it felt so interesting to dive into that classic spiderman dillema of saving many versus saving the few, where spiderman will have to choose between one or the other, and Mile's answer to that is that he want's to do it all - Have his cake, and eat it too. Or two cakes for that matter.

[@AlexG-jk8tc]

Among the many, many things I loved about this amazing film, two of their multiversal rules really stood out to me and sorta fixed/built upon other Marvel media (SPOILER ALERT)... 1. It connects with what the MCU did in "What If...?" episode 4 (the Doctor Strange one), where it's established that some points in every timeline are fixed, and that rewriting them would lead to a universal collapse. 2. This movie inadvertently answered our question of why Wanda couldn't just find variants of her kids that were orphaned in Multiverse of Madness. Miguel tried exactly that, and look what happened to him...

[@SandwitchZebra]

My only issue is that we can’t assume it’s entirely consistent with the MCU, seeing as people in other universes aren’t slowly breaking down like in Spider-Verse. My only guess is that it doesn’t happen in the localized MCU multiverse, or maybe it isn’t doesn’t effect universes in live-action due to some in-universe reality difference or something.

[@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070]

@@SandwitchZebraOne of the main theories on reddit was that using the collider to teleport to other dimensions caused breaking down/glitching while dr. strange's magic in the mcu worked differently and didn't cause breaking down or glitching. Basically there would be two ways to leave your dimension, by either using one of those machines or magic. Spiderverse only uses the first one, which is why the rules aren't exactly the same.

You're actually wrong on the first point. Gwen's scene with her father shows that no point in time is actually fixed and events can be changes if you know ahead of time, with no collapse occurring at all. I think what causes a collapse is an anomaly from outside the universe coming in. But change the worlds timeliness is generally fine

[@nfrance999]

@@LeavanDragon I think the real issue with Dr. Strange and his collapse, was he wasn’t just meddling with dimensions, he was messing with time and paradoxes. He couldn’t disrupt an event that created Dr. Strange because than he wouldn’t have become Dr. Strange so no going back and stopping that event and… yeah, messy. Meanwhile, Miles only wants to stop an event that WILL occur and not one that DID occur.

Hobie is my guy, true bri'ish representation. Whole movie was great, I really hope when the second part comes out they screen the movie in double features so you can watch part 1 and 2 right after the other. The spot's animation truly went even further beyond, plus ultra. It was boutta make me act up

I miss Double Features. Some theater pubs might be able to pull it off.

[@rawrsor5001]

The way you described the first movie's impact on the animation industry at 9:55 is honestly such a perfect summation of both Spider-Man's message of "Anyone can wear the mask" and even Miles' whole "I'mma do my own thing" in this film that it hurts. GOD I love these two films

[@harrisong2338]

As someone who is currently learning the craft of animation at university, I genuinely cried at that opening Gwen scene just on its breathtaking animation

[@Commenter839]

Yeah, calling it now- this is my favorite movie of 2023. I saw it yesterday and the movie was straight heat. I was a little disappointed it was a two parter, but that's a lot better than rushing a happy ending.

[@Johnnyupside]

That they didn't tell this before hand is a bit worrying. Make me think we didn't get the full product like we were promised

[@JayGeeKayW]

​@@JohnnyupsideThey did announce it was a two parter. Was supposed to be across the spider verse part 1 and 2 before they renamed the third

[@Commenter839]

@@Johnnyupside I mean, the simplest explanation I can think of is that less people might watch if they knew ahead of time that it's a two-parter, since they'll just wait until the next part comes out to see it, and that could result in less profit. I'm not really upset they decided to make it a two-parter though. The movie had a LOT going on towards the end, and during my watch I was genuinely concerned with how they were going to wrap all this up in 15-20 minutes. It's highly likely the production team thought the same thing and it may have been changed to a two-part film midway through production

[@mackielunkey2205]

Agreed, it's mine (hands down) too. The dialogue felt real, it's an amazing critique on the present Spider-Man comics, and I loved how Miles and Gwen finished major parts of their arcs (Miles learning to reveal that he's Spider-Man and Gwen finally finding people that accept her for who she is).

[@stwormmarkus]

the reason that they didn't use The Spot as mush as you wanted is because Beyond The Spider- Verse is when he is the MAIN villain. Across The Spider-Verse the set-up for him

This is legit THE best film I've seen, like where do I start? The animation was fucking beautiful and so expressive, the fact there were so many different Spider-People and they were animated so differently, yet they managed to work well together, the different shots, fights and MAN the plot was deep, everything just goes hand in hand, it's fucking beautiful. I don't know how they topped Into The Spider-Verse, but they fucking did and holy shit, it was amazing. Loved it, I can't wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse. What a film, imma watch Into The Spider-Verse again, this whole style of animation, whatever it is, is fucking beautiful, was well worth the five year wait.

Across the Spider-Verse is now one of my favorite sequels of all time, right next to Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots 2, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight and The Empire Strikes Back. I had my doubts if they could surpass what they did in the first movie, and i was blown away. They actually did it. It was one of the coolest experiences i’ve ever watched in a movie theater. I will definitely watch it again.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the current release date of the next movie aka Part 2, is March 24th of 2024. So we’re only waiting less than a full year to see the finale of this amazing trilogy. I know the cliffhanger was frustrating. But just imagine how amazing it’ll be watching this and part 2 back to back.

[@dodsonboys]

Across the Spiderverse was the first movie I've seen in a while where I wafched it and in my head I thought "this is amazing, I love this" and somehow surpassed the original movie for me which I already loved. It's just so creative, beautiful, clever and funny while also somehow being thought provoking and emotional and their haven't really seen a lot of recent movies that I can say the same for.

I watched it and GOD it was peak. Guardians of the Galaxy and Across the Spiderverse are by far the best movies that I’ve seen this year. And someone give the Spot some Black Air Forces with the way he went from a joke to HIM.

The visual style of this film was actually jaw dropping, really, my mouth didn't close for the last 20 minutes it's just something you can't take your eyes off of, I didn't think it would be possible to make into the spider verse look simple in comparison but they really just didn't hold back on the animation, idk how I'll adjust to pixar films again they look so basic now lmao.

[@pisscvre69]

pixars been stylistically bankrupt a long time now lol, they just got way to comfortable with their "signature" rather than getting creative thinking about what fits the story they wanna tell, even worse cuz everyone copied them im so sick of bloby lazy looking characters

The appreciation I have for Rio and Miles’ dynamic is so great as a latino fan because it genuinely feels so real and the whole spanglish and all just felt so heartwarming and I love them so much

[@Solooshin]

Spot was one if the dopest villians not only because of how he went from goofy to menace. But how he quips just as good as miles and actually wins miles respect because miles didn’t take him seriously. His journey of self improvement to full menace was hauntingly beautiful. He was getting more powerful just learning his abilities and improvement of his fighting before he had his final level up

[@bwmpii_yt]

(SPOILER WARNING) I definitely wasnt disappointed with it the movies a great movie that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time especially with how it ended and the twist of miles ending up in a different dimension where hes the prowler plus with how its going and the fact they're also bringing back the characters from the first one im definitely excited for beyond the spider verse

[@Vespyr_]

Good spoiler warning here.

[@SeseOB2003]

It’s been exactly two weeks since I saw the film (10th June), and I still remember how much fun it was to watch. I was impressed by how the story balanced both Gwen and Miles’ stories, as they made Gwen a much more engaging character whilst allowing us to see Miles’ own struggles. Such a great film, and I can weirdly enough wait for BTSV, because it will obviously take lots of time and effort to make a satisfying conclusion for this story.

[@Mr.JamLikesJelly]

What I really love about the animation is how they chose to animate Spider-Punk specifically when he didn’t have his mask on he looked like he was ripped straight from a comic book and it gave him a almost loose feeling like he wasn’t really physically there. I also love the scenes in Gwen’s universe especially the one with her and her dad when the animators chose to use different colors instead of dialogue to convey emotion it gave me a similar feeling to Hobie feeling loose yet also feeling real and sentimental.

[@tenacitypov3570]

I feel like Spiderverse and Puss in Boots had something in common where there isn’t just one threat that has one purpose. It’s many different groups of people who have different goals but are against each other due to them.

Personally, I think the way they left it is perfect. While I can see where your coming from that it feels bloated with plot points not being resolved, I love that because it’s not like they were forgotten, they are going to be resolved and it makes me think about not just “oh I can’t wait for next year” but also theorize about all the different ways these plot lines could resolve. I haven’t been able to sit still since I’ve seen it because of all the ideas I have

I love the different color pallets used for each universe. Especially Gwen’s, Ending and Pavitr’s universe. The use of specific tones, different lighting and of course the character’s traits fitting with their respective universe. I also love the fearing aura behind Miguel. It’s the first time I’ve been tensed at the cinema because of how unpredictable Miguel is and his uncontrollable rage.

[@floweyfangirl69420]

[@pippastrelle]

I adored the focus on Gwen. It was the thing I didn't realise I needed this much but this film is her arc. Delving more into the rough emotions from her backstory and how the resentment against her father tore her between the pro-Canon Spideys and her care for Miles? *Chef's kiss*

[@SamurottStormers]

Miles said to Gwen that there is always a first time for anything and he is trying to prove it by protecting his father rn. Beautifully written movie.

[@masontoy1976]

I think I liked the action and overall flow of the 1st film animation wise. But this one definitely has better art direction and cinematography.

[@lckaboom6810]

The big question I have going into the next movie is how they’ll deal with the “Canon event” concept and it’s consequences. Maybe Miles is right and there is a way to save his dad without destroying the universe, but that makes the fact that nearly EVERY other Spidey sided with Miguel seem super out of character. On the other hand, if Miguel is right, that kind of goes against the entire theme of the movie.

[@yever4635]

This is what's really holding me back from 100% liking this film. I also don't really like how Thematically cannon is coded as wrong, because all of us want Miles to save his Dad. Also technically if there was no "canon" to build from them there wouldn't be the variety of the multiverse, so the negative coding doesn't sit well with me. I could understand just Miguel wanting to defend this but every other spiderman doing so in unison, as you said, seemed off. Hopefully they stick the landing.

[@nabilaali7051]

I guess another thing is if Miguel is wrong then the Spider-Man can go around changing their canon, does anything have stakes or consequences, since we are dealing with multiverses, thus far anyone who messed with it certainly found out the hard way. It makes it feel like miles will have his cake and eat it too if he somehow saves hai dad and stops spot.

basically your only complaints are about the fact that this is part 1. the spot is obviously going to show up a lot more in part 2 and although it may seem like the cliffhanger should have been earlier part 2 will make it make more sense

a detail i loved was how miles and pavitr's different cultures and the knowledge that precedes that paralleled. the whole "chai tea" bit was so cute and that was great example of pavitr, and then with miles when he said that saying atm machine makes no sense because the m stands for machine.

[@3elawi]

ITSV was my favorite movie before this one. Then this one came and it blew the first one out of the park. The emotions in this one make it so beautiful. It’s the first time I actually feel sorry for the MC’s. Usually a love plot is about some spoiled brats that only care about love, but with M&G their lives are actually miserable besides when they’re together. It’s the only thing that actually keeps them happy. And the reason they can’t be together ACTUALLY makes sense compared to other movies/shows. The whole Spider-Man-Gwen bond always ends with Gwen dying. That with the beautiful visuals in Gwen’s world, where her emotions are shown through color makes you so much more sympathetic towards her and Miles.

I’m so glad it wasn’t just fan service.

[@idkevander]

Underrated praise should be the soundtrack. The previous movie had such a tight soundtrack that truly added something to the film. And in across, it doesn’t disappoint. 2099’s theme honesty gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it, the way his theme blends in with the action background music was done perfectly.

[@chumley04]

For the ppl complaining that Spot was underutilised, the 1st half of the film built him up from goofy to a true villain so that he would become the backdrop of any conflict in the 2nd half, building up to beyond the spiderverse. It was crucial for 2099 to get the spotlight too in the 2nd half
