​@@Vergilswordboi lmao and what does that actually mean? Spider-Man Peter Parker wasn't supposed to die, Miles was never supposed to become Spider-Man- that feels WAAAY more dimension/cannon event breaking than saving one guy. so...shouldn't Mile's universe be unraveling? I mean dimension 42 doesn't even have a Spider-Man, and that's DIRECTLY a cannon event. So- that universe should definitely be gone. it's been like 16 months!! so...Miguel's theory is bullshit, simple as that. he used a single data point and misattributed the cause. he's blinded by grief and probably envy. he's projecting the fact that he's not like the other Spider-Men, Women, Dinos, etc onto Miles.

[@spiritualgaming8446]

W observation

[@strivingsol8694]

Heck, it took the animators two, maybe even three years, just to animate Hobie with his inconsistent style. Different colors, shapes, and framerates (as you said). It's kinda like how, in the first film, Miles was intentionally animated to move at a slower framerate than everyone else until his "Leap of Faith", in which said framerate became the same as everyone else afterwards.

[@AstraHowl]

And also the fact that it is a subtle reference to the canon events, kind of encouraging Miles to go against the very idea

Hobie had it planned from the very start. He knew Miles was in for trouble, and dropped subtle hints for him to pick up on. "I don't believe in consistency" being one such hint, considering the "canon events" are pretty consistent. He wanted Miles to break that mold and rebel against a system that was only going to bring further anguish for everyone involved.

Also, he subtly reminded Miles to use his whole hand when doing the shock thing. Y’all are blowing up my phone with notifications that y’all like it

[@MisterEvvvSymphoenix]

How would he even know that, though? Miles is the only Spiderman with electrical powers! Is he really that smart? Edit: Since a lot of people are answering this question, I'll clarify why this confuses me. The more energy you pack into a small area, the more concentrated its effect should be. That's similar to why a knife is more dangerous than a fist - it's less spread-out, so all that power behind a narrow blade has a greater piercing effect. Likewise, if Miles were concentrating all his electricity into his fingers, you'd think it would have a stronger piercing effect. Using his full palm could have just spread it out and diluted it. However, I wouldn't know if Miles can concentrate it like that, and there was no telling exactly how the force field works either. Does concentrating the energy work better against it, or do you just overload it any old way? I don't know how Hobie would know this either, since Miles is treated like the only Miles, despite the PS4 and PS5 games existing here. We never saw any other Mileses chasing him, which means Mileses probably aren't in on the spider society, so the spider society would have had less time to study them. The best way to figure out how the powers of a Miles work is to carefully watch them for a lot of time, and I doubt even the people who played the PS4 game would know whether fingers or palms make a huge difference. Besides, other Spider-Men can't turn invisible, so you can't monitor a Miles as easily without him knowing (and he'll sense you, since Spider-Men can sense each other). It seems only Hobie was aware that he could overload the shield, because Miles was surrounded by all sorts of Spider-Men when he was trapped by Miguel, and it occurred to no one. Speaking of Miguel, if anyone knew Miles could break out, it should have been him, since he's from a more scientifically advanced time and is quite smart like most Spider-Men are. We probably can't even thank Hobie's Electro for teaching him about this, because there are all sorts of versions of Electro, and this didn't occur to anyone else. Besides, Electro's powers clearly don't work quite the same way as Miles'. Even Static and Black Lightning's powers don't work the same way (as Static once corrected Black Lightning). Yeah, that's DC, but you get the picture.

@@hairistired8010 Did he use electrical powers in that case, or just kick through the barrier when it was weakened? Either way, he clearly knew who Miles was in the first place, as he subtly warned Miles not to go to HQ (seriously, this character has so many layers! I'm starting to see him as a hidden gem!) The other spidermen also knew about Miles, since they had an intervention planned, and would have been briefed on his powers.

[@OctagonalSquare]

You gotta remember that practically every single spider person is incredibly intelligent. Obviously, some more than others or in different ways than others. But Hobie made that special travel watch all on his own. Almost all Spiders have made their own web shooters, figured out the physics for swinging, and so on.

[@baligong3592]

In fairness, Intelligence isn't a Linear thing. Just as Someone can be intelligent in a psychological standpoint, others can be intelligent in a mathematical or artistic standpoint. Every Spider-Character is intelligent in what they do, Gwen with Music, Miles with Art, Peter with Science, etc.

[@Mostbee]

I think almost all of Hobie's spidey-like jokes he throws around are actually double-meaning sentences, specially about the main antagonist. "I dont believe in consistency" can also foreshadow the fact he is against purposefully maintaining canon events Miguel also basically brainwashed every spiderman into becoming a symbol of its own universe, a hero having a "green pass" to handle their losses bc it was suposed to happen, hence "I'm not a hero because calling yourself that turns you into a self-mythologizing narcissistic autocrat", essentially Miguel protecting the multiverse web.

He sees Miles trying to absorb the barrier and that’s why he tells Miles to use his palms and not the tip of his fingers. He has a good grasp on how electricity works with Spider powers. He even shows Miles this 🙌 while Miles is trapped by Miguel and that’s how Miles escapes. It’s a vague understanding that Hobie can use electricity, but he does it with his guitar all of the time. Whether it comes from him, his suit, or his guitar is never truly explained. But he definitely knows a bit about it.

[@billtree52]

At first I didn't really care for him, I thought it was gonna just be a one off gag, but as he stuck around he grew on me after awhile. Also all mixtures of different art styles were just so amazing and really added to the movie as a whole. My favorite line from Hobie almost passed me by too, he said something like "know who you are fighting before you enlist", pretty great foreshadowing.

[@ajsims1996]

I never even thought that him stealing the stuff off the walls in the lab was him making the watch for Gwen . That’s awesome

[@MalieYap-fd9kn]

We can all agree that no matter what universe, spiderman is insanely smart. A genius

[@JadedParanoia]

Hobie was the MVP for the entire movie

[@Randomii15]

For some reason I loved every scene spider punk was in Literaly every

[@lovelyladybug4389]

Aside from the fact that I have a MONSTER crush on Hobie, I love the fact that he realized just how "corrupt" the Spider-Society has become and mentions om the movie "I quit" letting everyone know that I'm not going to wait around for someone to tell me something ab myself. I think that's why he took a liking to Miles so fast too bc they both knew what it means to have someone try and dictate who you are and I live for this😭

[@TealFirefox4387]

Mobbie was definitely my favorite new spider person in Across the Spiderverse.

[@InfiniteInferno]

Yoooo I didn't notice Hobie was building a new watch the whole time. I swear every Spiderverse video I watch I learn something new

[@filipgasic2642]

He's the embodiment of an anarchist, a free soul that doesn't yield to authority just because they possess power

[@AnarchyDruid]

I'm really appreciative of how Hobie is depicted. usually punks get depicted as these meat heads with little emotional depth that are just angry all the time. but most of us aren't like that.

[@blizyon30fps86]

Hobie was the opposite of that stereotype he was so chill and laid back

[@stech3224]

He's been trying to help Miles out from the beginning, trying to keep him away from Miguel, warned him, then immediately started collecting materials for plan B. He also knew sooner or later Gwen would try to defend Miles, and gave the plan B to someone she's definitely gonna go back to. This guy is strong, cool, and damn smart.

[@darknessblayzer7120]

Fun fact he was making the watch for miles

[@dirtydeeds4free553]

If he is good or bad, it completely revolves around if the universe actually collapses if a cannon event is evaded. AND if Miguel is lying on purpose. Actually, it is a very flexible act for movie 3, which i respect a bit.

[@BunnyLove5763]

What’s interesting about Hobie that the writers might use to connect him more to Miles narratively, is the fact that he was the original prowler in the first Spider-Man Comics. I don’t know how they could incorporate that at the moment, but it’s an interesting detail since Miles’ story involves the Prowler so heavily.

[@nigeldyllianrobinson3762]

We forget that Spider-Man is extremely smart. And Spider-punk let’s us forget that fact. Behind that badass anarchist exterior is the mind of a physicist.

[@sodashiira1894]

he fr had me squealing and curling my toes in the theatre every time he was on screen

[@willstuart8801]

the specific comic art style of Hobie is a nod to Zines which are independent magazines often dominated by the counterculture and punk scenes

[@gamindanny2773]

Dude's the true MVP of the whole cast, if he didnt do anything, Gwen wouldn't be able to safe miles later, Miles would be screwed in earth 42 due to his cells deterioration due to him not being in the right dimension and miguel would've find him and...idk lock him up later

[@kiigekam7683]

"Not bad for a punk" is essentially why he was made.

[@josues5481]

Hobie really said mr bombastic

[@thebumblebeemovie3514]

Daaaaang Hobie’s a disguised genius! I love how the movie makers used him like that!!! They really made his character literal and consistent 🥁

[@cthepimp23]

It's amazing how he fit all that hair under the mask😅

[@sam-nc5ou]

Fr, I have long afro hair and anytime I had to put on a swimming cap it was impossible to not look like a bootleg xenomorph 😭 I definitely thought about this while watching the movie😂

[@connoremery9521]

Also worth noting, if you're familiar with lace code, then you may find it interesting that one of his boots is ladder-laced with blue laces. My guy iced a cop at some point, which has a decent chance of playing into his canon event.

[@ryanavery6710]

Hobie brown also has prowler variants I hope that's explored

[@LuckClover1]

Not confirmed

[@dx.feelgood5825]

@@LuckClover1 he is literally the original iteration of the prowler, debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #78 lol He may not be in this iteration, but it’s still true that Hobie is the original Prowler before another iteration was written to make him a Spider instead.

[@brianhobbs6533]

Hobie literally tells Miles after he says he wants a watch “just make your own” we watch him steal the parts and gives it to Gwen at the end. Man’s didn’t hide his plan at all but definitely true to the punk rebel spirit.

[@Dragonlord826]

Became my favorite character nearly instantly

[@Benjy1]

“Use your palms not just your fingers” “You really think I’m going to reveal my secret identity? Come out of it.” His lines are great, but my favorite moment is a 2 seconds clip of him putting up his hands, reminding miles to use his palms to break out of Miguel’s little prison bubble thing

[@Comicsat420pm]

Pavtir gets left behind, I never noticed that hobie was keeping up if not ahead, he’s a real good detective

[@Ridlay_]

I still can’t get over the fact that he built a DIMENSION HOPPING WATCH with some spare parts sitting around a lab. Even if the lab was used to create said watches, that is nevertheless an impressive feat.

[@YoBoiHrcky]

Hobie is hands down the best character. He's just being a bro to Miles

[@beherid5111]

I hope they do a comic with this style and his look. He was pretty cool.

[@RadiøPasta993]

I loved him so much in the movie I changed my profile pics to him

[@MyvalTines-np3iw]

What I like about Hobie is him noticing problems that aren’t ok. He defends someone when they are on the right and he don’t side with the other spider man’s that are on the wrong.

[@grimmashley8422]

He may be a punk, but Hobie is still Spider-Man. He is every bit as smart as the others are and is not at all bogged down by Miguel’s rules

[@maximumdon7637]

You also gotta consider how in a brief moment when destroying the barrier that Miles was trying to break, saw and understood Miles’ bioelectric ability and its function better than Miles did, and offered him advice on how to use it better.

[@AyeCSL8R]

I'm glad that I've already seen the movie and that this video wasn't a spoiler for me.

[@TheBlankNoName]

He also likely has electric powers similar to Miles as he literally teaches Miles that using his palm while using them is far more effective then using your fingers, also making him more skilled in the power.

[@samuelpoulin8148]

Hobie was litteraly the mentor behind everything. You just didn't knew it before the actual end of the movie

[@inkeddecker9964]

This movie and the last one has brought me back into super heroes. All the DC, marvel movies feel so lifeless. This movie was so alive with color made me so happy and I enjoyed myself. Spiderman was my first hero and he has saved my love of the genre.

[@BlazenAva666]

Watchin this makes me realise the guy talking has no idea what punk is

[@benjiavelar7030]

My question is how did Miguel not realize how dangerous Hobie was. The entire time he is bluntly helping Miles in front of everyone. He’s an anarchist and there’s no way I can see Miguel ever trusting him.

[@swishy1260]

He carried the whole movie and secured the sequel
