I love how well Miguel as an antagonist represents the fundamental flaw of the Spider Society’s doctrine: that Spider-People are defined by their trauma and that their trauma is essential.

There was a lot of mixed reactions about the cliffhanger ending when it released in theaters, which i can understand. With about 30mins to go i was wondering how they were going to wrap it up in a satisfying way; and as it slowly dawned on me they weren't going to, I was SO pumped. Making it a two-parter gives them so much more scope to tell a complex and satisfying story. Just hope the wait isn't too long

[@fynnthefox9078]

I mean, yeah, they had a lot of ground to cover. Plus with how the first Spiderverse did, they decided to make it a two-parter.

[@michaelmcintyre3871]

I mean, there was a lot of advertising that specifically said "Part 1"

@@michaelmcintyre3871I think only the first teaser trailer had the “part 1”. After that they decided to give the 2 films separate names. Kind of like how endgame was originally infinity war part 2.

[@danielallen3454]

I went from having no idea who Hobie Brown was to demanding he get his own standalone film in about 8.4 seconds.

[@raghavverma8003]

Gwen and other spider-people not sensing miles thing was actually from the comics. The Spider-sense actually reads spider-people as allies and friends, not as danger, which is why it just doesn't go off for them. This is also why, in the comics, Spider-sense doesn't go off for Venom. It went off when he first saw and bonded with Venom in Secret wars, but after the symbiote bonded with peter and aquired some of his spider-powers, the spider-sense started reading venom as an ally too and has not worked against venom since. Side note: I hope they keep this functionality of the spider-sense in the upcoming Insomniac Spider-man 2 game, so peter's spider-sense doesn't work against venom and even miles (if they end up fighting in the game)

[@TheAmazingWebhead]

Good reaction! The thing with Miguel (2099) is that he is the way he is because if there’s one thing the writers did right is subtle hints of their comic histories. Miguel is a character meant to be different from Peter which is why we got those jokes of him being different. His DNA was spliced with spider DNA because the company he worked at tried to kill him, he grew up with a abusive father that made him anti social/sarcastic/anger issues. He was really projecting his hatred of himself/trauma onto Miles because he didn’t want him to make the same mistake he did. Still think what he said to him wasn’t right. He also never learn what it means to be Spider-Man until after 10 issues of his run I believe where he understood “power & responsibility” especially after teaming up with Peter through time travel where Peter inspired him. I do think that’s gonna be his arc in the third film where he’ll understand what Miles is talking about and fully become Spider-Man.

[@emwxzreal3104]

The company he worked at, at least in the comics was Alchemax

[@HTxGhost24]

Miguel telling Miles that he's the original anomaly and how he is changing the canon timeline could actually be a good thing. Maybe if he saves him and gwens dads it won't affect anything because he's an anomaly 🤷 just a thought

[@robertsaindodabolha963]

Miguel will sacrifice himself in the next film.

[@lorettabes4553]

As an animation and storyteller student, I lost my mind while watching this movie in the theatre. Hobie's story telling was so fascinating to me and just everything in this movie is so art-ful!

[@gjk-arts5855]

Have you seen Schnee's video essays? HIGHLY recommend them! He goes super in-depth about the writing and perspectives and arcs and AHH ITS SO GOOD!

[@AlessaParker]

I wish this movie came out while I was still an animation student myself. My classmates and I would've lost our freaking minds together

[@idutt2476]

Has it caught anyone's attention that Pavitr has emerged as the unique version of Peter Parker who managed to rescue two different Gwens from plummeting to their demise within the span of a single day? Initially, he prevented his teammate Spider-Gwen from falling, and later, without delay, he swiftly rescued his girlfriend Gayatri.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I've always regretted not watching the first movie in theaters, so I managed to make it up by watching this one in theaters instead.

[@wjquick32]

Same! Went 3 times, it was just as good each time but that's still in the back of my mind.

[@dannybob42]

So to explain some comics lore; yes there is a villain called The Spot, Miguel's fangs release a paralysing venom as per his own unique spider powers (in the comics his DNA was mixed with a spider's in a murder/sabotage attempt, the red eyes are part of that), but he's not a villain in the comics the suit is just meant to look scary partly because it was a Day of the Dead costume, Spider-Rex comes from a prehistoric universe where Pter Parker swapped bodies with Norrannosaurman (Norman Osborn T-Rex) when hit by a meteor of alien spiders, and the Sinister Six are a common group of Spider-Man villains, so this cartel would be an Earth-42 incarnation. The third and final part will take a while due to indefinite delay, it was planned for next year but it was clear they couldn't make that deadline.

[@SebasTian58323]

One thing to keep in mind is that Miguel is essentially correct about the canon events themselves, given what's seen in the movies, but he only knows that because he broke one himself. It's dangerous on a universal scale to mess with them, and because of what he went through, he's doing everything in his power to keep people from breaking them, even if it means going too far. What he's trying to do is good and bad at the same time. He's trying to save universes, and to do that he tries to ensure specific events aren't changed because changing them causes the universe to unravel. It's pretty much the same thing as the set points in time introduced in the marvel what if series where Doctor Strange gets obsessed with bringing back Christine, and in doing so, destroys his universe. Because her death is what led to him becoming a sorcerer in that universe and changing that dooms the universe because he wouldn't have been able to save it from various threats. It's like Peter B Parker said, if these certain events hadn't happened, then all the good things they've done afterwards wouldn't have happened. It causes a paradox that destroys the universe.

"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

Its about extending a hand.” -Kid Cosmic “That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” - Stan Lee “Anyone can wear the mask... but how you wear it, that’s what matters.” Miles Morales (ATSV International Trailer) “Everyone keeps telling me how MY story is supposed to go!….Naaah….Imma do mah own thing!” - Miles Morales

[@randomperson3119]

But if saving 1 person costs you billions of others, I don't think it's worth it

[@Kickinthescience]

That bagel really hit the spot

[@cerberus01]

This is the era of "canon events", you have Loki, What If?, The Flash, and so on it's the basic message in multidimensional and time travel that there are unavoidable events that if changed have major impacts. In someways I understand Miguel's perspective, especially since he's experienced the effects.

[@kvm6]

Yup, MCU called them 'Absolute Points' (What If? S1E4), where Strange Supreme destroys his whole Universe trying to reverse the Absolute Point.

[@johnnynoise7897]

The movie team said this will be a trilogy only, Beyond the Spider-Verse will be the last one. It took 4 years to animate Spider-Punk, plus the recent writers and actors strike, theres a chance the 3rd movie will be release in a long time. Just to clarify, Spider-Man 2099 is not a villain, is an antagonist, the villain here is The Spot :v

[@michaelmcintyre3871]

A lot of the early trailers did actually say "Part 1", so if you were paying attention to the marketing leading up, they were not hiding the fact that it wasn't going to finish the story. Unfortunately, because of the strike it is being delayed indefinitely. It was originally scheduled to release 2024. So it's just waiting and seeing how disgustingly greedy the studio execs want to be and how stubbornly they want to keep artists in abject poverty so they can afford another yacht. If they agreed to all the demands right now, it would cost them a very tiny fraction of their profits.

[@SergioM473]

Even before the strike, artist working on the film came out saying they didn’t know if they were gonna make the march 2024 deadline. Now with the strike my guess is late 2024 or early 2025

[@warhawk_yt]

Yeah but even without the strike their was no way it was making the 2024 release date. From what I heard they are barely out of pre-production and I think the actors have said they haven't recorded any lines yet. I will be surprised if it releases before 2025. I am expecting it to be at least 2026.

[@qrowing]

Wait, so if Aunt May moved to Florida, what happened to the "Spider-Cave" in her backyard? All of Peter's old suits, gadgets etc? There was a dang Spider Car down there! Not a Peter Parkedcar though, just to be clear.

[@gingerbeardedone3318]

I'm curious what about the Spider-Punk character, in your view, was intended to make us hate him? If not for the massive glow-up they gave Spider-Man 50101 [and of course Karan Soni's brilliant VA performance] slightly edging him out, he would've been my favourite new character of the sequel by far. Was it just that he's "competition" for Gwen, or was there more to it?

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

@@gingerbeardedone3318 Let me explain: the second Gwen first mentions him, we expect him to be a rival because that's what Miles expected. And let's be honest, if this was any other movie, that's what they would've 100% done and made him a douchebag. But the second we first see him on-screen, we discover he is, like Gwen and Pav told us, a great guy.

this movie totally felt like a 2 and a half hour trailer for beyond the Spiderverse, such an awesome work, loved every single frame and the whole story told here, GREAT MOVIE

[@The_Phantasm]

When Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out and delivers then without question this will be the greatest comic book trilogy of all time and nothing else comes remotely close. As a as longtime comic book reader, the Spider-Verse movies are honestly the greatest comic book movies of all time. They also have really help general audiences be more familiar with more traditional aspects of Spider-Man as opposed to the live action Spider-Man movies. The Raimi Spider-Man movies a particular really didn't do a great job of adapting the personality of Spider-Man. In those movies he's really too meek and wimpy and that is supposed to be Peter's personality at first, but he never really gets over it in these movies. Especially when he is Spider-Man he really doesn't portray Spider-Man's iconic sarcasm and quippy personality well at all.

One of the many versions of Spider-Man who make an appearance in this movie is the one from The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series which is the greatest and most accurate depiction of Spider-Man ever outside the comics. I highly recommend reacting to it.

[@beezyqueen]

hobie wasn’t actually roasting his suit w/ the finger vs palms comment but he was giving him advice on how to better use that power (and reminded him of that advice during the post-intervention escape) which was admittedly a pretty obnoxious first impression to make LOL i actually caught that miles had been scanned to universe 42 when i first saw it in the theaters, cos it flashes across one of the computer screens before he gets zapped away. i think i may have ruined things for my theater neighbors on accident because i gasped HUGELY and said something like “oh no!!” 😭 oops

I was a bit apprehensive when I first saw the trailer for portraying Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 in an antagonistic way because Miguel is a far cry from a villain and he's also my all-time favourite Spider-Man in the comics but the movie did an amazing job for portraying him not as the villain but more like an opposing force.

[@chandlermorgan708]

10/10 One of the best sequels to anything ever made If it wasn't already obvious in the first film, it's now officially clear as day that the people behind the Spider-Verse franchise (including writers/producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are absolute creative godsends to the once magnificent place known as Hollywood) understand EXACTLY what they're working with. Don't let the marketing fool you: this film has GUTS. It's easily one of the heaviest PG-rated films I've ever seen. Payoffs and character revelations that were only hinted at in the first film are carefully, deliberately unraveled and come around beautifully. It made me think about my own life and what I mean to the people I care about in ways I never expected. The fan-service is BATTY too, and yet somehow it's never too much. I wish every movie was as good as this---but then again if the world was like that this wouldn't feel as special. So I'll just stick to being IMMENSELY grateful that it exists in this universe. This is no ordinary sequel. It's art of the highest form.

From our position as meta-observers, we actually KNOW that Miguel is wrong about Miles. Why? Because this movie gets Marvel multiverse designations RIGHT. Miles Morales is the Ultimate Spiderman and the number given to his universe IS the Ultimate universe.

this movie cost only 10 M more than the first,(90M the first one, 100M this one). also, a side note some people miss. the entire movie is a flashback told by gwen. and if you ever rewatch it again, notice when she is first telling the story, you will see ALOT of spoilers from the rest of the movie in there.

The first one is one of my favorite animated movies by the way... Just something about this one. Not knocking the hard work that was put in by all the artists either.

The third part was going to come out in 2024, but due to the absurd and unprecedented animation quality, they already sent it to 2026, so we will have to wait a long time to see how this trilogy ends. And if it is more than a year old, they warned that this story was divided into two parts.
