To answer your question at 7:10 Alex. The first Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire already addressed the twig and giggle berries get bigger. After he was bitten and was looking in the mirror at his new physique he looked down at his package and confirmed in fact a big change happened. He even replied to Aunt May with "Big Change!"

[@tastyneck]

One of the reason Miles doesn't just let his dad know he's Spider-man, aside from protecting his family, is because his dad doesn't like Spider-man. He states that in the beginning. So imagine becoming the very thing your dad essentially despises, especially when you both already have a bit of a rocky relationship. Also, I'm old enough to have been there for the release of the Tobey Maguire Spider-man film and as much as I still love it this one is my favorite by far.

No words exchanged but I knew we both felt the exact same way in the moment. I will never forget it. This movie was cinematic gold in the theatre and just felt special.

[@houdin654jeff]

That moment at the door where Miles’ dad gives him the words everyone needs to hear at some point from a true parent… it breaks me to pieces every goddamn time. Perfect filmmaking, such a great flick, glad you went into it relatively blind. The cast to end all casts, between Kathryn Hahn (Agatha from WandaVision), John Mulaney as Spider-Ham, and Nic fucking Cage as Noir Spider-Man… For some trivia and such, Uncle Aaron shows up in the MCU played by Donald Glover in Spider-Man: Homecoming. He even says, “I don’t want those weapons on the streets, I got a nephew that lives around here,” referring to Miles. And Kingpin looks the way he looks because Wilson Fisk weighs over 300 lbs and has zero body fat. He’s just obscenely muscled, one of the strongest human beings in all of Marvel comics, no super power, no mutation, no magic or tech. As a heads up, they are working on not one, but two sequels to this right now, I’ve never been so hyped for an animated movie.

[@LN-Lifer]

So far part 2 looks like style over substance to me but I hope I'm wrong

[@Kickinthescience]

@@LN-Lifer what do you say now?

[@LN-Lifer]

@@Kickinthescience I only saw one trailer awhile back so I'm only speaking for that. Totally want the be wrong cause I love part 1

[@jeppyjep]

@@LN-Lifer Based on the trailer, i think the story is still about family. Into The Spider-Verse is about Miles' relationship with his father and uncle and his journey to become Spider-Man. In the new trailer, it looks like this is about his mom based on her speech. Peter B Parker and Miguel O Hara also has their own daughter. There are also Mary Jane and Anna Parker from Renew Your Vows in the trailer. Jessica Drew Spider-Woman is also pregnant. This is just a guess, but the story is probably about Miles' journey to be accepted in Spider-Society. The reason is because he's not the original Spider-Man from his universe. The spider that bit him is from other dimension.

[@AR_77]

Awesome fact: during the moment Miles leaps of the building and it’s the upside down shot, in the script it says Miles isn’t falling instead he is rising

19:26 Yeah, when they announced Kathryn Hahn was “the nosy neighbor” in WandaVision, I knew she was going to be the villain, because she had just done this. I’m really torn about Hailee Steinfeld. I liked her in Hawkeye, but I’m ticked that her being Kate Bishop means we won’t ever see her as live-action Spider-Gwen.

This is one of those movies where I went to the theater with a friend not expecting much and came away pleasantly surprised. Very well done

[@alexhefnerstvmovievault]

Completely agree

[@JBragason]

9:29 if you are still wondering, Instead of using the word "shot" in animation it's called "scene". But yes I totally agree, all the scenes in this movie are crafted with such perfection. As an animator myself, I once found myself pausing frame by frame to analyze them.

[@Enochulator]

Scenes and shots are different. Any camera change in an animated movie is still a shot. Scenes have to do with story.

[@JBragason]

@@Enochulator Animated Scene Definition In animation terminology, the term scene is mainly used. A scene (shot) contains panels. A scene can have one panel or many. All panels in a scene have the same background; each panel contains different actions in it, so when you watch them in an animatic, it looks animated. You were saying...

Brother Bear's an underrated Disney movie. I don't know why it doesn't get talked about more.

[@TheBlarggle]

"The Shoulder Touch" is another micro-full circle as you put it. His uncle taught him that move, and Kingpin is the one who shot his uncle. So using that move to be the final takedown move completes two circles. Using something his uncle taught him, and avenging his uncle's death.

[@landonboeding4670]

I found it so funny every time you made up a random new name for Fisk. Wisdom Tooth man made me crack up, you're absolutety hilarious!

[@oduinn7948]

Yeah, I grew up without a father too Alex so the scene with Mile's bound up and his Dad speaking to him through the door definitely hits not in a relatable way but in an envious pain way. My dad didn't _disappear_ but he was a very troubled man, in prison from when I was in first grade until I was in seventh, got out and wasn't very long before he was gone again -- even when he was in my life the relationship was very strained and I was never his son, I was a burden and a disappointment because I was so broken. Our relationship has somewhat been... patched, not even repaired, but even to this day at 31 years old I can't really guarantee I've ever heard my father say "I love you", or remember a time sooner to now than when I was 11 seeing him in a prison visit that he hugged me, or say he felt I had potential, or even call me "son" when he's not talking about me in the third person -- to this day I'm only "bro." Feels bad man. Love your kids, people, hug them tight, tell them you love them for those of us children that don't know what that is. Don't let them grow up feeling like they belong on the Island of Misfit Toys. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. 🥸

This movie hits so hard and before No Way Home came out, it was my favorite Spider-Man movie ever! The soundtrack is legendary, the cast was nailed perfectly, and it was so refreshing to get a different story and finally get Miles Morales story!!!

[@unfinishedsenten]

The fact that you can quite literally pause this movie at any point, ANY point, and print it and hang it on your wall and it's gonna look good, makes this the best imho. 2 hours of animated art+and incredible storyline with all the right feels and a great soundtrack. The old movies are more nostalgic and the new ones are part of the whole Marvel-universe, which gives them a leg-up. The fact that not many people had even heard about Miles Morales before watching this movie and then when it was done felt a connection to him, that tells me it's just good storytelling right there. I honestly thought the movie was about Peter Parker (I don't have normal TV, I only stream/download, so I hadn't seen any commercials or trailers or anything) but I didn't mind at all that I was wrong. Like, with the first scene alone, his introduction, with him mumble singing to himself like an idiot is so relatable. From there on out it only builds and you get to know him better. Yes, some of the others might have a hot May, are funny and have famous faces and badass dancing in the streets, but Spider-Verse is the whole package. And it's all fresh for the most of us. Spider-Verse Wins, Fatality! edit: Not saying the others are bad, I even gave the Andrew Garfield ones which I didn't initially like at all a new shot after watching the new Marvel Spider-Verse one he was in and liked them better now. I think I saw Garfield in a different light in the Marvel movies and it made me realize it wasn't HIS fault the Sony-movies sucked. So I watched them again and enjoyed his performance much better this time around and therefore also the movies. Still though, Spider-Verse wins imo..

[@wardgrove1071]

This movie hit me like nothing else man. My favorite Spider-Man movie easily. My dad being a cop, me being an artist and comic book nerd, and a huge fan of animation. This just took the top spot for me.

I love the Miles rises scene for so many reasons, but most of all would be just the ordinary people’s perspective. For them, Spider-Man just died a day or so ago. Yet just a few days later a kid is swinging around and running on buildings. It shows that hope never dies, our heroes never die.

Little fun fact that I’m sure people have blasted you with already: uncle Aaron is in Spider-Man homecoming. For years and years, Donald Glover was a fan favorite to cast as a potential Miles Morales in live action. Since they aren’t doing live action Miles (yet) and he’s aged out anyway, as a fun nod to the fans they cast Donald as Uncle Aaron instead. You’ll notice he says “I got a nephew that lives here and I don’t want those weapons on the streets” when Peter is interrogating him.

It’s hinted that Peter B. Parker is Tobey Maguire and is also from our universe. When he swings past the Coke sign it says Coca-Cola instead of Koca-Soda like in Miles’ universe.

They are shots. All the theory and knowledge still comes into play. Just done virtually instead of a IRL location.

Would I? YES! Even with all the horrific downsides... and if you know the comics and cartoons... some SERIOUS downsides... but it's a better life than I've gone through...

Old video... but as someone who never met their dad, due to him dying before I was born, any memory is better than no memories... yes, it ended shitty while you were young, but at least you have something to look back on. First time I've heard you open up, been watching a few videos recently, felt the need to comment Also, you're killing it. Your reactions are so kind-hearted and fun to watch, and the adult jokes help too 😂

And it won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature -- the animated film equivalent of the Oscar for Best Picture. No other superhero movie has won the Oscar in either category.

This was INSTANTLY my favorite Spider-man movie by a large large margin!!! Then No Way Home came out, and now I'm not so sure.

This movie is awesome! Also, you're right. The soundtrack slaps! I listened to it for a solid month after the movie came out. This is one of my favorite Spiderman movies. You haven't watched my favorite yet as of now, but it's coming up soon in the Marvel watch along.

I feel like the point of the movie is the same question you asked: if you could be Spider-Man, would you want to be? Miles loves Spider-Man and thinks he's awesome, but when it came time to BE Spider-Man, complete with the Great Responsibilities, he couldn't live up to his own expectations. He kept failing over and over until he figures out his own way to be a hero. Honestly, the whole movie is done so well. It's insane how they manage to get you to understand the themes without making you think too hard about it.

While on the subject of Spider-Man biology, there's a comic in the early 2000s where Mary Jane dies of cancer from Peter's radioactive sperm, which means Miles is in for a rough puberty. Something to think about before you go to bed.
