I love how they wrote Aaron Davis in this movie as less of "A Terrible person" but more "a good person who took the wrong path" cause I think there's some nuance that some people might miss where...Aaron kinda understands why his brother cut ties cause in some of the earlier scenes he doesn't really hold anything against his brother for doing so. the whole "He's a good guy it's just, ya know" plus the fact they make it clear this is just a job to him, cause the moment he finds out Miles is the one in the suit, his reaction is less "should I do this" and more "I can't do this" it makes Aaron Davis really likable despite the fact he doesn't have much screentime

Exactly. You get your young Spider-Man who acts different and fun and learns to be a hero in his own right with Miles, and you get your old “I’ve been doing this for way too long now” adult Spider-Man who can also still learn a thing or two from the kid with Peter. It’s genius really.

Not only he fixed Miles. He gave us a Peter Parker who was acting like his age. That film also gave us a reason why Peter and MJ are important for each other. What Peter B. Parker and MJ divorce did to him exactly shown why MJ is important to him. Speech of MJ after Peter Parker death shows how well she knew Peter. Her voice also included a extreme sorrow. She was living her worst nightmare. It is a great film. Shown why MJ and Peter needed each other. Redeemed Miles Character. Shown a grown up Peter who is kinda mentor to Miles.

She was telling Prowler to get out of there with Miles and shouted when he got shot. That's a powerful character.

I went to a cosplay event in Miles' suit and clothes a few months ago. AFTER Spider-Verse came out. Now where I live (not USA) there aren't many black people, or a strong black culture overall. And yet some of the few black families I met stopped me to have pictures with me. One family in particular asked me one picture for each member, both parents and kids. I don't know, it moved me. You could see it in the kids' eyes, they wanted a photo with Miles. He was their hero. I think this movie truly managed to create a Spider-Man that, despite sharing the same alias as Peter Parker, is a very different character, and a hero in his own right. And I don't hide that I felt pretty proud of myself while posing for those pictures, even if all I did was wearing a costume.

Another "fix" I'd like to touch on is what an improvement the Spider-Verse version of Miles's costume is over the original. The gray/dark silver webbing is way more subtle and less busy looking than the red pattern on his first outfit. And the slightly rougher, painted on look of the logo and overall design gives it way more personality. Plus, I'm a sucker for hoodies/jackets worn over traditional superhero costumes.

I never noticed this until watching another video about the movie, but the way Miles moves in the movie once embracing his responsibility to be Spider-Man is very similar to how Aaron moved as the Prowler. Miles wasn't just swinging through the air but he was running up the sides of buildings, jumping off of them onto another and just generally what Aaron did but in Miles's own way which made it all the more special.

Also goes back to what Miles said when he was being chased by Alchemax goons. He runs better then he swings. So it kinda makes sense theres more parkour in his movement.

[@oscarthebro23]

@miles tom ehh not really they did take things from miles don’t get me wrong, Ned is a blatant copy of Ganke and his personality is a mix of miles and Peter at the end of his run in ultimate (mostly Miles). The thing with Rio and May is that they are just young and that’s it. In Homecoming we see may still be may for the most part being over protective of Peter and helping him out with his personal life. FFH is different because she’s reduced to just a pure gag of a character and only had one decent scene. I wouldn’t say MCU peter is dependent at all he made his own suit and web shooters before tony came into the picture, he never called or asked tony to help him for anything. He at first cared about impressing Tony in HC but at the end he didn’t care about becoming an avenger that’s why he turned it down he learned that he doesn’t need to be an avenger to be a hero and the majority of the time he went against tony as well. Heck even Ultimate Peter never made his own suit and depended on MJ to always fix or sew his suit back. The lego thing yeah sure that’s miles and Ganke’s thing but a lot of kids today build Legos so I see it more of modernizing the character and if Peter was being rewritten today without 50+ years of stories from the past I think there’s a good chance that he builds legos as well as it is seen as a nerdy/loser thing to do in high school. Mid town isn’t like Visions as visions is a charter school while mid town isn’t. Just because Mid town is a science and tech school doesn’t mean every kid there is smart hell flash attends there and they made it clear that flash is a moron as he can’t answer any question right. And lastly when Godzilla Mendoza brought up how peter is just white miles (like how you did as well) it is basically an oxymoron as Miles is just peter reskined with a few differences but yet you call peter white miles so you are basically saying peter is peter with just a few differences.

It struck a cord with me seeing Miles speaking Spanish to people in this neighborhood and with his mom. The comics kind of forgot that he is black and Hispanic and as someone just like that I was disappointed to not really see much of his own Hispanic and black culture really used within his own characterization. That is why I was so happy to see that in the movie because it should be a bigger part of who he is.

[@fathernigga]

His race isn't apart of his character, he just happens to be Hispanic and Black.

[@DavidMRuiz]

@@fathernigga It might not be part of who Spider-Man is, but it's a huge part of who Miles is. I love Pete's Spider-Man, because under the mask he's just a smart nerdy kid from Queens. He created his own web shooters. He takes out the garbage. He loves his aunt. He has a crush on a girl that's out of his league. He works a job, because things are tough at home, and he wants to help out. I'm just as much, if not more, a fan of Peter Parker than I am of Spider-Man. He's a good kid, but he's different from other kids. Pete's nerd-dom is what makes him unique. It humananizes him. It makes you think that it could be you under that mask. Now, Miles is a Puerto Rican kid from Brooklyn. He lives on his phone. His mom is overbearing. His grandmother is crazy. He eats arroz con gandules, and speaks Spanish and English interchangeably. He likes music and art. He's got one close friend and niether of them really fit in. That's a character that I can relate to, because a lot of it reminds of my life growing up, (minus the phone, of course, because I'm old.) I am Miles Morales. My son is Miles Morales. His character is new and different, but, for Me, it's real familiar. Plus, he's Spider-Man! I like comics. I've been reading them my whole life and I can tell you one thing that's certain, for Me, anyway. The characters we fall in love with are the ones we see ourselves in. The story of Miles Morales is the story of Miles, first, and Spidey, second. I can dig that.

[@jackhanson3856]

I'm already Tracer Yeah, no. For example, it is undeniable that someone born of a different race would probably be raised in an environment that reflects the culture of that race in some way. Not only that, but he would be treated differently. Not in a racist way. For example, with the way the media portrays the killing of any minority as an instant hate crime or racist murder, maybe the main character would see this and gather his own opinion. Whether it be dread for the police or disgust with the over exaggeration of the motives behind the murder of a minority. Either way, race SHOULD be a part of who your character is. The problem is when the race of a character starts DEFINING who they are as a person. You know, the whole "I'm Hispanic and.... well, that's all my character has to offer!" Note: Obviously into the spider-verse didn't go this deep. And it didn't have to. I'm just saying what I would personally do with a character of a different race in a more adult story.

[@jackhanson3856]

I'm already Tracer It's the same thing with sexuality. It shouldn't define your character, but it should still be part of who they are. (Unless the story really doesn't explore anyone's sexuality. In that case, sexuality would be completely irrelevant.)

Then Spider-Ham, the fucking *talking pig,* tearfully says, "Miles, the hardest thing about this job is... you can't always save everybody."

Doesn't matter what color, what background, what age someone is; as long as you make them human with core principles like family, the audience can and will feel for them.

This movie was amazing and it did diversity in the best way They told an awesome story which revolved around a kid and thats all he is a kid unlike whats been happening as of late almost as if big companies think we need giant arrows pointing at people saying “LOOK ITS A WOMAN or LOOK ITS SOMEONE OF COLOUR” They focused and what makes a character likeable rather than making gender, race or sexuality their sole defining feature, the world needs more of this kind of diversity as opposed to cheap pandering to try and get a few points this also applies to Gwen in this movie “who arguably has the best designed suit” Anyway enough ranting morale of the story make great characters, great plot, create relatable character traits DO NOT make something inconsequential a defining character trait we are all human

[@AJTalon]

Honestly, the movie also saved Gwen in a very real way. Not as much as Miles, but it made her much more than what she'd become: A simple cosplay costume pattern. In her own comics she was also little more than a pale imitation of Peter Parker with nothing to call her own. No interesting character. They keep coming up with cheap things like OMG Reed Richards is Black in this universe! Captain America is black AND female! Matt Murdock is EVIL! Frank Castle is a COP! But none of it made much sense, none of it added to the universe. It was all so shallow. So I'm hoping we'll get more of Gwen in the next movie and more development for her.

Since if they had a good editor they'll see characters are just checkmarks, cosplay bait and tropes. Nobody wants to read let alone spend their money on something clearly going nowhere. That was Miles for 10 years. Then Gwen, Cindy, Ben(again)... They keep making a new Spidey with no new foil, no rogues, it's just here's another one somehow. Which is why Superior Spider-Man worked because there's legacy there, there's growth. For Miles, Gwen and Cindy before this movie they were the SAME character basically. Nobody really has gone like have these three team up? I'm just glad this movie did the characters justice because their creators don't know what they're doing and some fans enable the bad by refusing to call it out as bad.

What hit home is the fact the Miles kept failing because he was only trying to follow in peters footsteps.

All this culminating into one thing, miles has to do this on his own terms, not peters. And then he began to succeed.

Great analysis. But, I politely disagree with your analysis of Aaron's death in the movie, his final words were not about Miles being a hero, doing the right thing or stopping Kingpin, but about Miles continuing being the person he is. It would be a little too cliched for Aaron's final words to be something like "Be a hero, unlike me, and stop Kingpin", he says something more powerful in the lines of "Miles, you are already doing everything right, unlike me, please keep being yourself", those words, and the words Miles' father says to him, really help Miles realize he is perfect the way he is and he will achieve great things, be as a hero or as a normal person, by just being himself. That is a more powerful lesson to be given to Miles or anyone, because anyone can be behind the mask.

The one thing I really like about Miles' personality was that Peter had this whole "Spider-Man" thing down with few hiccups, while Miles was on one hell of a bumpy road with potholes. Peter's experience as Spider-Man seemed more forced, while Miles felt natural; a teenage kid struggling to learn the ropes, having to live up to someone's legacy, but also making his own. But Peter seemed to lose and still win. He had smooth sailing. (Well, however smooth sailing can be when your a superhero.) Peter's humor was also kinda forced, while, on the other hand, Miles' humor was him just being awkward. He didn't have to make jokes to be funny. He could just be himself (though his whole character in the movies was him feeling like he couldn't, which gave him more depth as well). Miles felt like an actually hero, but Parker just felt like a glossed-over cake. He was too perfect. He didn't feel real. (Though, I still love my little red and blue spandex boy.)

Miles from the Comics sucked and the only reason he sticked around was because Disney kept pushing him everywhere, not to mention some of the press at the time was going crazy just because he was... black. There's many Spider-Based people that are worthy of getting recognise and stuff, like Miguel O'Hara, Anya Corazon, Jessica Drew, etc. Jessica Drew- 1977 Takuya Yamashiro- 1978 Miguel O'hara- 1992 Yu Komori- 1997 May Parker- 1998 Ezekiel Sims- 2001 Any Corazon- 2004 Pavitr Prabhakar- 2005 And people think Miles proved anyone could wear the mask, when he wasn't even the first non-peter based Spiderman.

So he still works as a alternative version of peter who has gotten over uncle Ben but still follows his values. I still think this is the best peter Parker because although it has comics miles personality that personality works best with a alternative peter like the mcu and not a new character

I never read the miles books but I remember mention he is the prowler nephew. A subject I thought was a great idea giving that the 616 prowler was a crimal in early in his run and thanks to peter turn good. I had figure that was the character they were using the one that had a crimal past and was trying to do the right thing. Also a character that invented his own equiptment. So he is someone that is tech savy. Listen to this video it look as bendis took him on a different direction and that make it a really lost opportunity. Heck him dying would had work out better with the original chracter only cause he has such a rich history and he was being one of the good guy. If this was a novel or a long running series. I would had hold off him dying till a few years into miles run just to get reader into the prowler and have him mentor a young miles in a world without spiderman and have him explain why he change from a criminal into a hero. Keep the conflict between his brother who judge him by his past and doesn't trust he change. Then have one of his former associate gun him. Giving miles his uncle ben moment. But like I said don't do it right away in the run cause you got to give the reader a reason to care. @@cyanrex1074

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I mean this is what more writers should strive for when writing characters like Miles. Miles is never just his race or his background. He has likes, likes, strengths, weaknesses, personality and character development. He fails. He succeeds. He learns from mistakes and loss. He exists. He’s a person. You can’t just put characters of color in front and just leave it at that. You have to write them with respect and effort and like they’re people. That’s all anyone is asking for.

[@hollandscottthomas]

I just rewatched this yesterday, and ALL of the emotional character beats for Miles are so beautifully handled. It's the best Spidey movie, for sure, specifically because it's so hopeful and inclusive at its heart.

[@jamalhartley5863]

Most of the problem with Bendis writing Miles was he was a white guy whose heart was in the right place and a great writer. Could not properly write a black character let alone a Black Hispanic. Miles always lacked a distinct personality possibly because Bendis didn't wanna write him like a black kid but as a kid. Which is nice I like the sentiment, but the fact is he is not just a kid he also a black Hispanic. This movie gave Miles some much needed culture.

[@diawalker]

Completely agree! I liked the potential and Miles’s chemistry w/ other characters (ganke, parents, & avengers especially) but stopped reading his solo book because of Bendis... Wish we’d get a writer that related more but maybe the new 2019 series will be a better story!

[@jamalhartley5863]

@@diawalker I started reading the new series and it's already so much better. The new writer embraces Miles' culture. He greeted a kid in perfect Spanish. His mom mixes Spanish and English in her words. And miles has a dope haircut unlike that basic haircut everyone draws for black characters. And that's all in the first issue.

[@diawalker]

Jamal Hartley aw man that makes me very happy to hear. Gonna go read it now thanks!

[@MiseryBrick]

You do realize the good majority of people who worked on this film are white, right? Rodney Rothman who wrote the screenplay is caucasian. And honestly, I don't even think it's racially or culturally based, as outside of maybe the first fifteen minutes, it doesn't get brought up. (EX. Miles walking to school) It just comes down to the fact they knew how to actually build a likeable and relatable character and fleshing him out. His race is more or less just an element of his physical character design, nothing more nothing less. They still wrote him as a kid, just like Bendis did. The difference is Bendis did an approximation of the same kid he wrote before, while the Spider-Verse crew wrote one who diverged from him.

[@diawalker]

Misery-Brick i feel like we’re on the same page here lol. Those 15 mins were enough to establish his background & differentiate Miles from Peter (which you mentioned the movie succeeded in). Even though the cultural aspect is a small detail, it was nice to acknowledge since Bendis prefers not to

[@chriss.249]

Yeah, I like Arron from into the spider verse more than the comics. I feel it was the way they took miles being Spiderman that sold it for me. When he found out he protected his dear Nephew instead of use him.

[@PiperAtTheGatesOfYourMom]

@6:25 NWH has entered the chat. We got to see a fucking rage-filled, bloodlusted Spider-Man.

[@maddoxio]

I love the fact that Peter was genuinely going to kill Gobby. No last change of heart, no flashback to wise words. He was going to run him through with the glider. I love the fact that they made him feel human, which a lot of writers seem to forget

[@wdcain1]

I think the _Spectacular Spider-Man_ cartoon is a good adaption of the Lee/Ditko era since it shows Peter at his angriest/less comical. It wasn't until Romita became the artist that Spidey got very humorous when doing his super-heroics like in the 90s cartoon.

[@TennoWolf]

And now the spectacular Spiderman theme is in my head.

[@sotomaxy]

@wdcain1 What do you mean "Less comical"? Have you even seen Spectacular Spider-Man? There are quip compilations of that Peter.

[@lukeboyer1594]

Personally what I love about the message to Spider-Verse is how it can be interpreted in two ways. 1. That a lot of adaptations exist, and can not be as good as others. But each have things to offer and appreciate about each version. 2. That if you take influence from someone, you should do whatever they’re doing your own way to gain success and achieve what you want to achieve. Instead of always just being in your idol or mentor’s shadow.

[@lastmanstanding7155]

Peter is young in homecoming = comic accurate. Yea, sure. I personally prefer angsty angry Peter. But a ps4 mellow Spider-Man seems just fine. I just wish they wouldn't make him such a bone head for plot convenience.

[@ExeErdna]

Comics Miles is legit bad and it's sad he still really hasn't done much on his own that's because they never wrote him with his own rogues. His uncle was his foil and that was IT. His run-in with Carol Danvers shouldn't have happened because it was too on the nose what they were doing. Movie Miles got him over instantly even with people that never liked him since they made him human instead of a trope
