Another fun bit in the Coney Island mission: if you pause, the map screen is replaced with a tourist map of Coney Island

[@pinkponypool]

One of my favorite callbacks is when Peter says "Call the play, coach." to Miles. It's the same thing Miles said to Peter in the first game when they were facing the Devil's Breath crisis/Sinister Six. I think it really does show how far Miles has come and how much Peter trusts Miles to take the lead.

[@rishabhmalhotra7017]

Oh damn I totally forgot that! Shows how detail-oriented the team at Insomniac was about this project.

[@DrKnockers05]

Really glad you picked up on Pete's "I'm sorry" at Coney Island because in those few seconds after, it shook me to my core. The possibility of a Spider-Man losing even just one innocent person, witnessing their death because he couldn't save them, the guilt and sadness over not being the best version of Spider-Man possible helping every single person he can. It really shocked and saddened me seeing Peter, despite all his strength, realise he can't save everyone. I mostly expected Miles to show up and save the day but was really surprised to see Harry. Plus the Scream fight, the Black Cat mission, the first time with the Black Suit. And Howard...phew, that mission hit me hard. So many times this game made me cheer, cry, or a bit of both. Baldur's Gate 3 is my personal GOTY, but Spider-Man 2 is more than deserving of a nomination and even the win.

1:08:50 So the reason that Peter's spidey sense doesn't work with Venom is because Venom is "seen" as Peter by the spidey sense canonically.

[@CmdrShepard95]

There’s something that I don’t see people bring up, but I love how this version of the symbiote brings to surface all of Peter’s insecurities. It brings a whole new level to it. It’s like the symbiote is feeding on those insecurities, intensifying those feelings, and then subtly telling Peter that he doesn’t need to feel those things anymore with it. He’s basically an emotional manipulator, using a person’s own insecurities against them. We see it with both Peter and MJ. And I absolutely love it

[@muhammadhuzaifa2625]

1:13:09 Fun fact: That scarf was actually one that hailey gives you in Spiderman: Miles Morales.

[@joshandrobo]

1:08:59 I want to say that I like your interpretation on why the spidey sense doesn’t go off. I assumed that it was because how, like the comics, since the symbiote was a part of Peter he can’t sense it (as it would essentially just be him sensing himself). I think the idea of him not sensing Harry as a threat is more poignant to the story.

[@Porge5519]

Although it wasn't in the video, the cage scene with Kraven pushing Peter to break out to save Miles is PEAK

[@zed6740]

I think what I like most about that scene is the fact that Spider-Man just goes full-on animalistic and just uses the tendrils to try and break out. Also, Kraven trapping a Spider in a box? That had to be intentional right?

[@moviehermit5631]

A detail I just now realized. When Miles and Martin Li are in Peter’s head, the core of the Symbiote is where May’s office was, the place she died. It wasn’t just the memory locked in a random spot, this is the literal manifestation of the source of the pain he’s been going through ever since she died. I never really paid attention to the specific location of where in the construct of Feast Peter was at

[@tavinprice2310]

I'll never understand how people say that MJ scenes ruined pacing. I'm convinced that most people who say that don't know what pacing actually is and just say that as a buzzword to sound like they know what they're talking about MJ sequences don't ruin pacing, they help it

[@darknessknows1235]

Personally i've also always been fine with the MJ scenes. Would it have been better if, starting from SM1 they let you navigate using tools so you have more freedom, sure, but tbh the stealth is hardly the worst/hardest around. It's no different from an extended stealth sections during missions which, sure, those you can go loud and proud but you don't have to either. There's also the fact that the MJ missions exist to bring you down to reality so to speak and give off a feeling of weakness/vulnerability/terror, so they clearly achieve what they're meant to, and just like the skill tree slowly giving MJ her tools to navigate is also good progress

[@jbcatz5]

@@darknessknows1235It sells the horror nature of the Symbiote on Peter not playing as him, but seeing it through MJ’s eyes because it’s not just a monster to her, it’s Peter becoming someone she doesn’t recognise.

The reason why Peter didn't detect Venom at 1:09:01 is because the spider-sense doesn't detect venom at all, that's one of the reason why Venom is Spider-Man's worst enemy; he has to react to it by his own natural instinct and that is hard when the spider=sense is dulled and you are used to it.

[@michaelkaduck1915]

This game has my favorite version of the Symbiote Spider-Man story arc. It appeals to me the most because it feels the most natural, starting with Peter being skeptical about the suit, to falling to the high of it...and the more he gets hurt, he uses it more, sending him on a bender. And the fact Miles has to fight him to help him escape is so perfect. And this game's Venom is my favorite: A true cosmic horror that devastates the community, like in Web of Shadows, or in perhaps a more realistic analogy: A drug outbreak. Well done Insomniac games!

[@Zachattack10213]

19:51 As someone who has been in this situation that Miles is in, I can get an idea about what he might be feeling. While I was more ok with my mom dating again, my younger sister wasn’t as ok with it as me at that moment. One of the first things I told my mom when I knew she was trying to get into a relationship again was basically that I want her to be happy, but make sure she told us (me and my sister) about it. This is why conversation is important in any type of relationship. It can help us figure what is needed to make sure what both sides want are met.

There is actually a good reason why Peter becomes a teacher instead of any other job. With Peter being the teacher, he can cover Miles's schoolwork so Miles can go deal with villains.

Honestly this game was amazing and filled with so many good moments. I started playing this game after a very recent loss and seeing peter struggle with donating Aunt May's things to F.E.A.S.T to flashing back to her talking about balance, it really made me cry and feel more comfortable with my loss. Plus seeing him donate her things made it a little easier in my mind to donate my loved ones things to shelters. Including the side missions with the lost grandfather and Howard's passing, it just felt amazingly cathartic. Easily my favorite game and GOTY for me.

[@FirestoneAnimation]

1:08:05 I actually like the suit. My only two gripes are the mask lacking webbing, and we dont get a proper reason why he made it. My headcanon is that, along with the name "Evolved" suit, it was made to tank his new venom powers, primarily the blue pipelines going down his arms and legs.

[@Scorpionspear77]

That first fight with the Black Suit was amazing. The fact that you’re in permanent Surge mode lets you know how strong this thing is, and even if they’ve seen it adapted before or read the original story, most players fall right into the trap of that power like Peter does. I know I did. The only thing that tempered it for me was the growls and roars coming out of the controller with each attack. That was sobering, and led to me not actually using Symbiote Surge much- I only brought it out in bosses or if I was struggling in a fight, treating it more like DBZ Kakarot’s Kaio-Ken rather than Super Saiyan if that makes any sense.

After further examining the Anti-Venom suit I noticed not only the resemblance to the Advanced Suit, but also particularly the eyes design. It reminds me of Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man design with the big eyes, and I think that's fitting because when Todd picked up Spider-Man, he did so many things that were outside of the norm of the time with his art and effectively revolutionized the character and let him evolve into something better, just like Peter seems to be evolving in this game, and I like to think that the eyes are a nod to that, whether intentional or not.

Finally watching this after finishing the game myself. Probably gonna make a few comments- my first one early on is about suits- loved the variety. I started off using Arachknight and Shadow Spider since I somehow got the launch edition for Christmas, but stopped after Arachknight glitched and the cape clipped through his waist XD. Figuring that may pop up and ruin a scene later on, I switched Peter to the Hybrid Suit for a while, and stuck to Shadow Spider until I unlocked Spider-Verse for Miles. Miles proceeded to stay in the ITSV suit until I got the ATSV suit. I kept the Black Suit and Anti-Venom Suits on Peter once I got them until I finished the story, wanting to stay immersed as much as possible.

[@nickclark1815]

I know it’s been a bit controversial, but Miles taking the lead as Spider-Man at the end was a great moment imo. I’ve always thought that Peter viewed the mantle of Spider-Man as a burden, while Miles sees it more as an opportunity. Miles is excited to be Spider-Man, possibly a bit too much so, whereas Peter always suffers from putting on the mask. This passing of the torch works so well for both of the characters as individuals, and we all know it won’t be absolute, either. TLDR: It makes sense for both characters, and Pete really deserves a break.

Your ability to not press L1 + R1 every time it comes up is amazing. It was my go to move.

Special note for the "Peter sees Harry as his friend so his sense doesn't go off": I'm pretty sure that in comics (and thus probably reflected here) is that because Peter has been joined to the Venom Symbiote before, his Spidey-Sense doesn't recognize Venom as a threat. It's like, you'd never be worried about attacking yourself, so you wouldn't be prepared if you arm all of a sudden slapped you in the face. This is prime example for the positives in rewatching/replaying games, because I finished the game by Halloween and didn't even consider that this was something that happened until you mentioned it and I connected all those pieces. EDIT: Also, padded up Harry's suit is reminiscent of Agent Venom, when (I believe it's Eddie Brock) gets the suit later but has better control of it. He ends up working as like a wetwork operative or something along those lines. Does it look kiddy? Maybe, but it's a call...well not a call forward but a call-lateral to that version of Venom.

I have a slight fan theory as to why Venom is named Venom in this game. So the venoms of various creature such as scorpions, snakes and spiders can be used to make antidotes for the poison, thus *healing* the victim. And what’s Harry’s mantra throughout the game? “We’re going to heal the world.” I know it’s a bit of a stretch but I think it’s interesting.

[@jamesquillen7965]

There is a detail in one of the cutscenes, I believe it's the underground lab, where you see the old containment space for the symbiote and its codename is like "VNM-846" or some string of 3 numbers. But this is a really nice idea too! Definitely poignant

[@rubencorona3061]

1:08:16 see, the thing is Miles’ classic suit is already HIS OWN suit. Yes, it’s inspired and has the classic elements of a Spider-Man suit such as the webbing, eyes, and chest spider but Miles took the mask Peter gave him and made it his own. The evolve suit feels extremely redundant and unnecessary.

[@RRai2000]

Stop complaining over a bloody suit man. This is why KZbinrs include rules of the comment section.

Surprised this video isnt a couple hours long, genuinely one of the best games ive played, unforgettable experience

[@harmonlanager2670]

The reason the Symbiote is so desperate to get Peter back is because, from its perspective, Peter was the addiction. Venom is basically a jilted lover who’ll never really get over his ex.

[@tmalecki1521]

I think we’ll get another Miles Morales solo game for sure before we get Spider-Man 3. The way I see it, the more Spider-Man games Insomniac makes, the more happy I’ll be

[@HygorBH]

In the Spider-Man Unlimited Infinity comics, Insomniac Spidey meets with 616 Spidey, and 616 Spidey was in awe at Insomniac Spidey's gadgets. 616 Spidey even pointed out they were both geniuses, but in different areas: Insomniac Peter is a genius in engineering while 616 Spidey is a genius in physics. I like how they pointed out the differences.

[@monsterking1973]

The wait for this game was worth it loved the story and kraven and venom were both incredible who ever idea it was to cast Tony Todd as venom deserves a big raise

[@christopheremery5597]

At the amusement park, if you do all the attractions and win the prize, Peter will wear the hat he wins while fighting

[@elijahyun8128]

I have a funny story about the symbiote suit. One of the first side missions I did with the suit was clearing out the bases. Instead of using stealth like I normally did I went full send and immediately went into combat. Those bases are hard when you are under leveled but the symbiote is such a power trip you can just brute force any fight. I got so into the fight I got the biggest adrenaline rush my hands where buzzing and I was breathing like a bloodlusted Nordic berserker. It got so intense I almost passed out experiencing the power of all 19 inches of Venom. This is shy I love videogames and this channel. I love it when games gives us experiences and I love this channel because it celebrates video games as an art form.

[@beanaeb1235]

17:04 Cigarette daydreams is my jam, and I was so happy when I heard it start playing 18:10 New slang is also one of my favorites! This soundtrack is built for me

[@kyleoppenheim8711]

Miles being a mentor to Silk in the next game sound awesome, with SM3 havng 3 side by side storylines with different perspectives depending on when you switch to who would be incredible

[@pugtie4695]

Harry's probably gonna get the antivenom suit. Like Eddie he's also been antivenom in some of the versions.

[@so0bekgaming706]

Zanny reference within first 2 minutes. Cinema is back on the menu, boys.

[@ardynamberglow3124]

One thing I love about this game is how it portrays it's "Villians" or Anti-heroes and their philosophy: The ones like Wraith, Black Cat, Prowler, and the like, are selfish, and while they try to do good, or in some cases break the law, They don't kill because they want to--they simply just don't care--or accept that people will get hurt. As Yuri says "I'd rather lose one night of sleep over a person I killed, than live with the guilt of letting them go." and Li implies, killing isn't a question, its a solution to a problem. Simply put, a lot of the villains or anti-heroes don't _want_ to harm people, but have no issue killing if it means they accomplish their tasks, or motivations.

[@hammy7]

Yuri Lowenthal can f right off because he is 90% of the reason why this game made me cry so damn much. He is absolutely insane and so incredibly talented. His voice specifically during the MJ/Scream fight and when he tells Harry he loves him made me burst into tears. I have so much respect for him and can’t wait to see what else he gets to do as Peter

[@BigHossPlayz]

For me it was the fact i kept hearing other of his iconic roles. Sasuke and Ben 10 to be specific.

[@Blueboysback]

I think the thing is with the baby symbiots is that the people were forced into it they didn’t willingly put on the goo so their connection to it isn’t and cooperative and Harry and venom which is why Peter can pull they out but I might just be head canonning
