Film Theory: Spider-Man is His Own WORST Enemy! (Spider Man Across the Spider Verse)

[@jorgecastillo2391]

One of Matt’s last theories was how there’s no good role models in media anymore or that they’re being erased/mocked. It was good seeing miles confide in a father figure who’s actually his father. It’s hard enough finding good father figures let alone good fathers and this short just lets a dad be a dad. So good

[@ProjektTaku]

What about Shazam's dad, C.C Batson? Sure, he's dead, but he was a great guy, nice, considerate, perhaps a bit naive but still willing to fight for his family and sacrifice himself, and gave Billy a huge Mansion post-mortem.

I deal with anxiety, and I've dealt with panic attacks on a semi-regular basis. Therapy has helped so much with giving me the tools to manage my anxiety. This short really connected with me because of this, and this episode did a great job exploring that territory. I hope, if anyone watches this video and it resonates with them, that it helps them realize they're not alone, and that they can overcome anxiety. It's a lot of work, and I personally still have road ahead of me, but it's a lot more manageable already. Thanks for shining a spotlight on this issue.

Fun fact: In the comics, Peter Parker's Spider-Man talks to a therapist, and his problems are so great, they sent his therapist to therapy! That's why there's a Spider-Therapist, cuz only a Spider-Person can understand and handle all that

[@griefingg0lem685]

I always took them recognizing someone else's spider-sense in the movie as like crossing frequencies of a radio, which is why when Miles meets his Peter, it looks like they get a bit of a headache, the interference of two strong reaction signals pushing against each other.

This video and specifically the part when heart damage and potential fatal consequences of panic attacks were mentioned were terribly triggering for me. This needs a content warning, or at least having the disclaimer before mentioning the possibility of death because of panic attacks.

[@garchompelago]

This reminds me of that one episode from the Teen titans(the original, not TTGO) animated series where Robin was fighting Slade but he is literally the only one who sees Slade. None of his friends could see Slade. When Robin finally calm down with the help of his friends. "Slade" finally vanishes. There was no Slade to begin with. It was all in his mind. Hallucinations due to mental stress and PTSD. The episode ended with Robin turning off the lights to double check if Slade is still there. There was no Slade at all. That was a very dark episode for me when I was a kid. Back then, I didnt even know what mental health is and how realistic that experience is irl.

[@MRDraco17]

yeah I remember this episode, it was very stressfull seeing this from Robin perspective, not really knowing what was true or not. it was also interesting to see that while being superheroes they could also be very vulnerable and have trauma from all the dangerous situations they faced.

[@katetoolate234]

I haven't seen all of the original Teen Titans but I did see most of the episodes with Slade and that episode as well on TV one time. And yeah, that episode had quite an impact. I remember Raven, I believe, looking through Robin's eyes to reassure him there was no Slade and then she could see him and they realized that Slade was real to Robin and he needed their help.

[@GaurdianPrime]

Umm... are you forgetting the part at the end where they found traces of a unidentified powder/drug on the inside of the Slade mask Robin had been examining at the start of the episode? Yes, there are some parallels, but Robin was DRUGGED. He was trained by Batman to have a hyper observant, detective based mindset. The hallucinogens pushed his overanalytical mind into paranoia, which made the hallucinations more real and created a self reinforcing feedback loop. Not only that, hallucination or not, Slade was 'real' enough that his attacks were able to knock Raven out of her psychic connection to Robin. Real enough that Raven even wavered on if Slade might really be in the Tower. It was only because Robin was willing to trust his teammates over his own observations that he listened to Raven and closed his eyes.

[@Scarfgirl]

Oh yeah, that was a great episode.

[@Scarfgirl]

@@GaurdianPrime Dude, you literally just described what an anxiety disorder does to the brain.

[@Empty_Blank]

Something I would like to add, Miles in the comics had similar problems with anxiety to the point that his Spidersense would randomly go off without there being any threat or just not work at all, when it mattered. He did get help and actual therapy later on to help him deal with it. I can only recommend Ziglar's current run with Miles. It's really amazing and great for his character.

[@ForestRaptor]

That's what an anxiety disorder is. The Brain chemistry triggering your fight or flight just "cuz something is happenning or going to happen so be ready now. Don't do something else, we won't be ready. Watch out!". The Mental triggers the physical, instead of the other way around. Here Mile's spidey sense is triggered by his own anxiety/panic attack and the spidey sense is just catching up and trigger approprietly but it can't because the Sensing Part of the mechanism was never actually trigger. skipping the important step for a healthy reaction.... Watching this episode had noticing I had been masking an anxiety episode for the past hour or so.... heh ^^"

[@thecottageofcuriosities863]

These were the kind of theories that I was really scared of loosing when Mat left. The ones that start out talking about the media we all love and then, go into real world things and really help remind me and ground me in the world. That short made me cry when I first saw it. These depictions of these disorders are getting better, more accurate and are helping with acceptance and normalization of really difficult things. Thank you Lee, this was a wonderful video 😊

[@4RILDIGITAL]

It's interesting to see how the Spider-Verse weaves in aspects of mental health alongside traditional superhero narratives. This in-depth interpretation is impressive.

[@dazzlethestar151]

I think the reason Insomniac Miles (IM) gets a pass while Sony Miles (SM) doesn't is because the spider that bit IM was from his universe, unlike the one that bit SM. In SM's universe, the blonde Peter was supposed to be the only Spider-Man in that world, while in the Insomniac-verse, there was meant to be both a Peter Parker and Miles Morales Spider-Man in that world. More than one Spider-Man can exist in a single universe (otherwise characters like Silk don't align with the canon), it's just that that wasn't meant to be the case in SM's universe.

[@CouchSpud91]

I'll be honest, I think this is by far the best episode that Film Theory has had in a long, LONG time. No stretches of the imagination or having to look into small tidbits to make the theory stick, no conveniently ignoring basic facts about the series, no haphazard guessing of what maybe-sorta-kinda-could be, and not a case of "this is so obvious to even casual fans so why are you covering it?" kind of thing. A great straightforward but thoughtful analysis of something film related to produce a theory, make connections to that theory, and tie it up into a great message and learning opportunity. Fantastic video.

[@LunaIsHer]

As someone who also suffers from a anxiety disorder, I felt really connected to Miles. I experience some of these symptoms often and it felt nice that the film theorists covered something that I, along with many others, struggle with. And the way they talked about anxiety disorders was really informative and understanding. This is probably one of my favorite theories now.

[@NeonNeslon2571]

I think my favorite part of this video is how it shows how much thought and effort went into making the Spider Within short. It is such an accurate depiction of panic attacks in a visual way that is also on brand for the character, so it's excellently done.

Even if it's still a secret to everyone else in his life and even though the constant danger he's in will always be large sources of stress, being able to finally be honest with them would definately ease some his anxiety because he no longer has to lie to them all the time.

I attended once a workshop about how to control panic attacks, and the instructor mentioned about the misconception that "it feels like a hearth attack". The truth is that a panic attacks feels how we THINK a heart attack feels, but in reality a hearth attack is very different, the heart is not beating very rapidly in a hearth attack, it's exactly the opposite. Btw, the a rapid heart rate for a very small time is not damaging to the body, that's exactly what cardiovascular excersize does :), the issue is a rapid heart rate during all the day. EDIT: just in case a clarification is needed: anxiety is not a good for health, even when panic attacks are sporadic, chronic stress is pretty bad for other reasons than the hearth beating rapidely for small periods (things like sleep deprivation and high levels of cortisol causes multiple health issues).

As someone with diagnosed GAD, and whose favorite movies are the Spider-Verse films, watching this short made me cry. I've only had full panic attacks a few times in my life, but that's exactly how it felt. And though I've never had sleep paralysis hallucinations, those sorts of "shadowy, evil, broken versions of myself" are frequent images in my mind. For awhile after I got diagnosed, I sometimes called my anxiety Freddy, after Freddy Krueger, since it feels like a different person who's only inside my mind and trying to hurt me. Most of the time, my anxiety doesn't lead to full panic attacks. Instead, I just shut down, zone out, and am unable to do anything, sometimes barely aware of my surroundings. I guess that's technically a form of dissociative panic attack, but it feels quite different. Regardless, I'm rambling now 😅 The point is I cried watching the short, and I cried watching this analysis of it 😅

I had a huge panic attack a year ago followed by much smaller ones, but the first was out of nowhere and it was the most scary thing I've ever lived thru; I was literally talking and playing with a board game with my friends when I suddenly had all the symptoms that they mentioned on the episode, specially the whole body tingle. I did as best as I could to stay calm and relax but it was impossible, my mind was struggling to focus on anything but "staying alive", I felt my breathing starting to shorten until I gave in and went to the hospital a few minutes later without anyone knowing. The doctors after calming me and relaxing me with both medicine and chat, just ruled out I had a panic attack with no real evident cause so I had to go to a psychiatrist to check me and actually rule out something, I ended going and not really sorting what really caused it, it seemed to be a mix of a bad sleep schedule and lack of exercise (After coming back from a month-long trip that made me walk about 20k steps a day, it seemed my mind made me think I had stored excess energy that I wasn't burning it made me feel like I needed to release it, apparently) made both me and my body crash down hard when the stress built up, luckily I tackled it as early as I could and nothing bad came out and it took me some months to fully recover from it. In the end this episode was almost word-by-word what happened to me, to the point it was a bit funny to see my experience being described in this episode and made me want to write this comment, just to share all of this, hopefully this also helps someone or gives a better perspective on what the episode was about!

This is such a great short. Anxiety disorders are so often parts of your brain treating the basic stress you feel-like schoolwork, crushes, family stuff, jobs, etc.-like a hungry panther stalking you through the forest; you're stressed out, so the ancient lizard brain reacts as if you're being hunted. It makes so much sense that, once in this state, Miles spider-sense would go haywire. It's reacting to "danger," but in this case, there isn't actually anything there. It's just the thoughts in his head. That would be so overwhelming, jacking up his anxiety to, dare we say, super human levels!

And given how much I love Spider-Man and Miles as a character, I really loved this video. I really felt seen with this one.

Nice vid anyways Here's a recipe for a decadent chocolate layer cake: Ingredients: For the cake: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar - 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder - 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 2 large eggs, at room temperature - 1 cup whole milk - 1/2 cup vegetable oil - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract - 1 cup boiling water For the frosting: - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened - 3 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 cup heavy cream - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - Pinch of salt Instructions: For the cake: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper. 2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and beat on medium speed until well combined. 4. Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the boiling water to the cake batter. Beat on high speed for about 1 minute to incorporate the hot water into the batter. 5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. 7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. For the frosting: 1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until creamy. 2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the heavy cream, until the frosting is smooth and creamy. 3. Beat in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined. Assembly: 1. Once the cakes have cooled completely, level the tops if necessary to create flat surfaces. 2. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of frosting evenly over the top. 3. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting, stacking them on top of each other. 4. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. 5. Decorate the cake as desired with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries.

The death of the characters in Super Smash Bros. is noticed by everybody since the game makes a line of vibrant colors. In the Hunger Games the players know if another player has died by it being spoken at the end of the day.

9:17. That always happens to me. It’s horrifying. When it happens to me it feels like the more I just sit still the more I feel super gross in my stomach and I feel like I’m getting eaten by my bed like the fleashbeds. It’s pretty much just a super realistic dream, and the only way to wake up is to try to dream that your blinking rapidly and breathing rapidly. In these dreams I often dream that I’m falling out of my head or sinking into them. I’ve also had normal dreams about random other things and then suddenly in the dream I see something like a tunnel or hallway bending upwards on forever and then I start to have the creepy paralysis dream thing.

[@djennyclaus7703]

I feel like the best plot twist would be Miles and the spider girl that send him into the wrong dimension (don't remember her name) confront Miguel about it, saying that "Miles was never an anomaly; he exist into another one wich mean that this two dimension switched their futur, making it completely normal". It will then explain that the spot was created to be his enemy, like every Spider Man has his own. I love this theory/scenario so much!

Panic attacks and anxiety disorder sucks horribly. I have it and its not fun. Its like flight or fight but without a cause, it can happen without a real reason to and god im so lucky to not have experienced any sleep paralysis. I have some sometimes but have found a way to break out of it funny enough.

[@dupersuperplays8029]

Great theory. I like how you watched a spiderman short about Miles having anxiety, and then theorized that maybe Miles has anxiety.

5:21 that scene took 100 takes to get right, they also put glue on every item that fell on the tray. 8:36 I live with chronic anxiety, I’ve experienced panic attacks, paralysis and nightmares, it’s not fun and this short pretty much hit the nail on the head. While I’ve never hallucinated I’ve lived with pretty much everything else you mentioned.

I love how you make it seem like Matpat is there in a different voice and body while making the new guy have his own identity. This is the first video of Film Theory that I watched after the finale, and it's really good. I would love to watch a video of Matpat and the new guy working together ❤

Honestly as someone who deals with anxiety on a regual basis and who exibits a lot of these symptoms, I just found it really cool that the "Humanized the Hero" as a friend put it, showing that even with super powers Miles is still only human and has the same struggles we do on top of his hero struggles.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Miguel's mentality is self defetaist. A spider person should ALWAYS strive to save as many people as they can. Just like peter said in the egde of time

[@itsjust_zak217]

This genuinely reminds me one time i got sleep paralysis except i didnt see any shadow beings i hear screams, like girl screams high pitched, im in a dorm room with 16 other people in it so i tried my best to grab the person next to me for comfort, when the screaming stopped i turns out i havent moved an inch, is it like an alternative of shadowy figures? Like screams that night freaks me out

[@fahimhasan22]

I had a nightmare where my parents were screaming my name but I can't move and open my eyes. It was really scary because I thought somebody broke into our house.

[@L16htW4rr10r]

I used to get them all the time as kindergarten or elementary school students. I got used to it somewhat although it really doesn't feel fun at all. I know I was having sleep paralysis, and yet I couldn't do anything about it except wait it out.

[@Pretzelfriend]

Theory idea. Four way hunger games crossover. Game theory is which smash bros character lives/wins hunger games. Film theory could be anything, maybe something about could the capitol survive without districts(like in mockingjay), or maybe something about thirteen. Food theory could be are the capitols mutts edible. Style theory would be which capitol persons outfits are the most practical, or how much does it cost to look like a capitol person.

8:49 REM is different from deep sleep. REM is one of the lighter sleep stages with the brain often being conscious with dreams. Deep sleep is specifically the deepest stage of non-REM sleep (not counting nREM4).

[@somebodykares1]

[Update: Ignore the spambots that are replying to this post, they can't do anything but be useless humans, replying to them lets them continue harassing] If this is the direction they are going then the anomaly part is the fact Miles does have someone to talk with, his parents, for the rest of them, they lost the one person closest to them that they could talk with the one they trusted most died due to their fear. Miles still has the ones he trusts, as great as it would be to have the other spiders to talk with they can only really give their solution which would differ based on what their home dimension is like, like even the Therapist Spiderman was just done with hearing the same story day after day and giving the same answer, even the other Miles Spiders they discovered their own way of coping thats not gonna be the same for Miles.

I’ve only once ever had sleep paralysis and it was a crazy experience for me. Not being able to move was terrifying, and there was a loud voice. I definitely don’t remember what it said but it was a crazy experience.
