What a brilliant sequel to an incredible first film. This one really raises the stakes and left me longing for the inevitable climax to this trilogy that we're all waiting for. Brilliant movie!

Hobie became my favorite Spider-Man without even trying. Cuz, if you tried it's only doing "the Man's work." OMG! I fell in love with Hobie so quick.

[@hdudhehdhd2222]

one of the best parts of this movie was how they fleshed out the family dynamic imo. It just feels so relatable and real. None of that forced drama nonsense in most most movies, or the over the top comedy, its written in a way that feels like something almost every family could relate to

[@jjpark98]

The dad getting mad and yelling "THAT'S 3 MONTHS" is definitely something I can relate to and it definitely felt like a very natural family argument.

[@Dreamer-sz9cu]

Yes, and that conversation that Miles had with his mother reminded me of what my parents always tell me too. So it touched me right in the feels.

[@dgmilloway]

One thing to keep in mind. The Spider-verse is infinite. And Miguel is not going to recruit anyone who disagrees with him. So the Spider Society is kinda self-selected for those who can be swayed by the utilitarian line that Miguel is handing out.

[@runbaa9285]

Miguel's inclusion to the big screen is such a a big milestone in the eyes of longtime Spider-Man fans. Miguel was the successor to the Spider-Man mantle from Peter Parker back in the 1990s comics. He was arguably the Spider-Man that really cemented the "anyone can wear the mask" philosophy, all the way back in 1992. He was created to be almost an exact opposite of Peter Parker. He is super serious, his 'jokes' borders on mean-spirited instead of witty, and he will kill if he has to, unlike Peter Parker. Miguel comes from a time period in the Marvel timeline so ruthless that Dr. Doom of all people is considered one of the good guys. Imagine the world of Cyberpunk 2077... and add in superpowered Marvel shenanigans on top of it. It gets kinda messed up.

[@thecocoacouch]

I believe Miguel is an anti-hero but he is an antagonist (not villian) in the context of this film. It’s so intriguing since it splits the audience into two camps of thought, who’s right? Miguel or Miles.

[@thecocoacouch]

@@MASTERKENOBI909 yeah exactly, antagonist NOT villain!

[@Rorieking]

@@thecocoacouch nobody is in the wrong.. but I can’t find any flaws for miles and his reasonings… if he has knowledge of his fathers death and is able prevent it then he should have the right to do so

OMG THAT IS SUCH A GOOD FIND. I never thought about that

[@MsCameroonski]

i'm 1000% okay with waiting. the writers, animators, and many other artists who worked on this film (and the last one) deserve SO much for their hard work--and they should strike until their needs are met.

[@s_ha2084]

39:45 what they were saying is that miles in earth-1610 (our miles) was never supposed to be spider-man, since he already had peter parker in that universe (the one that died in the first movie). the spider was from earth-42, where the prowler miles is. prowler miles was supposed to get bitten, but since that spider went to the wrong universe and bit the wrong person, earth-1610’s peter parker died and prowler mile’s universe was left with no spider-man

[@thecocoacouch]

I actually don’t think Prowler miles was ever meant to be bitten, that spider was meant to bite Peter in that universe. That’s why I think every Miles from every universe eventually becomes Prowler, our Miles is an exception since he got bitten by Peters spider from Earth 42.

[@MichelGG117]

@@thecocoacouchyour wrong bro, you get to see in a quick scene how the spider 42 was about to bite prowler miles but didn’t cause he was sent towards our miles universe! It’s a quick blink and you miss it Moment!!!

[@s_ha2084]

​@@thecocoacouch i get what you're saying and that could make sense, but canonically that's not the case (lol feels weird using the word canon considering the whole plot of the movie) but earth-42 was supposed to be THE universe where miles morales was spider-man, and earth-42 peter would've probably just been a regular schmegular guy-- like every other dimension where peter parker isn't spider-man. earth-1610 already had a spider-man and a prowler by the time our miles got bitten. the only reason why earth-42 miles ended up becoming the prowler was because the earth-42 spider that was meant for him fell into the wrong dimension and bit the wrong miles, which ultimately resulted in earth-1610 peter parker's death because there can't be more than one spider-man in the same dimension. that's why our miles is considered the first anomaly

[@thecocoacouch]

@@MichelGG117 oh no way! Do you know if they do that to Miles normally in multiple dimensions in the comics? I like that Miles feels outside the canon.

[@MichelGG117]

@@thecocoacouch there is a storyline in comics where miles doesn’t get bit by the spider, and ends up in different scenarios. Such as becoming a Hulk, being Thor, Wolverine, etc!

[@ProjectImpossibleOfficial]

Fun fact: the lego dimension we saw is the same universe as the Lego Marvel games. I gew up with those games - I nearly freaked out in the theater when I realized they were part of this expanding Marvel universe.

[@squimblow]

A 14 year old actually animated it!

[@brettmaddux9243]

Despite how many times I've watched this movie, watching the bits you've commented on, I caught the mom mentioning comic-con after not recognizing Spider-Man and realized the first movie had set up Miles not knowing what a comic-con was, perhaps because it didn't exist in his universe. I love how there's so many small details used as hints before the reveal that build on the previous movie that I can still find new ones every re-watch.

[@heathergeer]

I think I like the different styles of animation of this a little bit more than the first one! Also, the line delivery of Hailee Steinfeld in every scene is 👌👌

[@thecocoacouch]

I love the painted world Gwen comes from!! So cool. Also my favourite theme in the film is hers 👌

[@hdudhehdhd2222]

29:25 I'd say it's a bit more gray area than that. On one hand, it's literally his job to make sure to save everyone he can, and it's his own dad, so of course it's his responsibility to try and save him. But on the other hand, in a big picture kind of way, saving him means breaking what's supposed to happen and thus risking all of reality to be destroyed. So u can see both of their perspectives, especially when Miguel already went thru that firsthand. I still think, as Spiderman, it's Miles' job to do his best to hopefully find a way to prevent his dad's death without destroying the world. There was a line in this old game edge of time, it went something like "if you let someone die and do nothing you dont understand what it means to be spiderman" which i totally agree with and shows Miles' POV. Whereas the classic "with great power comes great responsibility" comes the other peoples' POV. THey have the power to change their canon events but with that is the responsibility to know and understand that doing so could kill billions of others and that sometimes u gotta make the sacrifice.

[@Otisboy121]

…..It’s a crossroads….

[@clarissa182]

You should have heard the movie audience response for those who didn't know this was in two parts. lol. I loved this movie. I took my son with me to see it on the pre-date. The cast is outstanding. The characters are fabulous. A big bummer is that with the strike, the movie will be undoubtedly pushed back, so we will likely be waiting longer (I believe the previous set release date was February).

[@Trabsol]

Yeah it’s quite sad we likely won’t see the final movie of the spiderverse series for the next 2 or 3 years at the minimum due to the strike. But when it comes out, it will perhaps be the greatest superhero trilogy ever made. Batman was great too but it felt more like a regular masterpiece of a movie rather than a superhero masterpiece of a movie

"What's important is not standing by while allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing if you don't get that then you don't know the first thing about being spider-man" -spider-man edge of time Some of y'all must have seen this comment in different videos but this quote came to mind when i saw this movie

[@thecocoacouch]

Yeah exactly. Love this quote.

[@Otisboy121]

“Being a hero isn't about forming a fist. Its about extending a hand.” -Kid Cosmic “That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” - Stan Lee “Anyone can wear the mask... but how you wear it, that’s what matters.” - Miles Morales (Across the Spider Verse international trailer) “Everyone keeps telling me how MY story is supposed to go!….Naaah….Imma do mah own thing!” - Miles Morales

[@Drake844221]

Dude, I was completely gutted by that cliffhanger, too. It is an amazing movie and that whole... core of self-actualization hits... very close to home for me, too. Even creeping up on 38 XD Just goes with a lot of what I'm dealing with in life. But yeah, I don't think that Earth 42's Miles is a villain. The crime syndicates basically run this world, and I get the feeling that he's essentially working to undermine them, even without the powers. He's just hardened by everything that he's been through. But we'll see next year.

[@LilGreasyAndEm]

No he’s not the only Miles Morales. There’s really multiple versions of everybody that’s a spider person it’s crazy. There could be another Miguel O’Hara that’s Spider-Man or another Gwen Stacy. The multiverse is pretty big.

[@hulkstrong2389]

I feel like the reason all these Spider-people ended up against Miles (mostly referring to his closest friends Peter B and Gwen) is that Miguel kind of manipulated them using the idea of canon events. I don't even like using the word manipulate because I'm not 100% convinced that Miguel is doing this with ill intentions against Miles. But what I mean is that by using the idea of canon events, he's giving their suffering a purpose and it also serves to take away the blame they feel. With the idea of canon events, it basically tells them that there was nothing they could've done and that it HAD to happen. If you go to the opposite side, you're basically saying that it was ever so slightly possible that they could've prevented something so traumatic. And, honestly, I think they have to feel a tad jealous thinking Miles could prevent it and still end up where they are; as a great Spider-Man. It's especially easy to justify letting Miles' dad die when they weren't ever face to face with Miles. I mean, look at how they changed their minds when they had to deal with Miles pushing back on Miguel's ideals. Sure, it shouldn't have been so hard to change Peter B and Gwen's minds, but it still wasn't that difficult. So, to me, it just makes sense that Miguel could convince these Spider-people that what they're doing is right and basically HAS to be done like that. But, I also can see why some people are so against the idea of how the Spider-people, especially Peter B and Gwen, acted here. But, honestly, it just serves as a reminder that these Spider-people are also just human beings in that they can be manipulated like any of us could be. Anyways, LOVED this video buddy. Keep up the great work!

I watched the movie in IMAX on the opening weekend in theatres and there was a lot of laughter, and it was really fun to hear the audience reaction in my theatre laughing at the pointing meme, although they got really mad at the cliffhanger.

[@blind_sol]

Miguel is the hero for me 💥

[@kyuokuo]

People just keep calling him a bad guy, they the kind of people to not think about who the villain really is in movies...

[@thecocoacouch]

I think they are all heroes but within the context of the film he is the antagonist (not villian). I think any extreme POV is odd. What makes this movie brilliant is that both sides of the argument are completely valid and nuanced.

[@pratensishks1]

Thank you for this. Your reaction and thoughts were ones of the most comfortable to watch & listen to, and I'm glad that someone else understands Miguel's not a villain, but an antagonist here. So many people like to call him otherwise without thinking and understanding /both/ sides, it makes me feel frustrated. I'm very much looking forward to BTSV and hoping Miles succeeds & Miguel somehow turns up helping him in the end (complicated & traumatized characters' growth, let's go!). Don't want it to be easy, though. There are always consequences to what you did. Actually, it also would be nice for Peter B. standing up to Miguel for Miles in the next movie somehow. (So many thoughts on everyone's point of view & details, honestly, there's a lot to talk about & it's hard to fit everything in one comment. Love when movies do that.)

[@thecocoacouch]

Haha yeah I adjusted my language since it’s true!! Characters like Gwen make for incredible stories that inspire everyone.

[@noirhacks]

Miguel is right and he isn't a tyrant he is literally trying to stop miles from destroying he whole universe

[@tmm4195]

I still wouldn't say Miguel's completely right either though. It's not as simple as right or wrong. Miguel's logic has a lot of flaws and he's fueled by fear since he's comparing it to what happened to him. However, what Miguel did and what Mile's is trying to do is not completely the same. Also, he handled the situation so poorly

[@noirhacks]

@@tmm4195 yeah but earlier in the movie miles saved India’s Capetian and it started collapsing as well and that is the same as what miles is going to do.

[@tmm4195]

@@noirhacks The thing is, if Miles is an anamoly, then it makes sense that the rules wouldn’t apply the same to him as they do for the others. It’s basically shown in Gwen’s universe that the canon isn’t as cut and dry as it appears. Her canon changed when her dad quit and didn’t become Captain. There is definitely more flexibility with canons than Miguel thinks

[@mundanepants]

You'll have to wait probably more than a year. The sequel is postponed indefinitely because of the strikes. Tbh, I'm glad I never read beyond the introduction issue of Spider-man 2099 (Miguel) because it helps to not put expectations on what the character ends up being. Also I hated the introduction issue 😅 This movie is so damn gorgeous, but I couldn't in good conscience give more than a 4/5 for now, because it's putting so much down and basically giving zero resolutions. There's no indication of what the writers actually want you to think about the theme of death and loss, because this movie just packs in stuff after stuff and doesn't get to processing if it really feels we should make peace with some universal constants no matter how unfair they feel, or if they're going to pull a "no see, THIS Spider-Man doesn't have to suffer loss. All the others do though. For reasons." But also it would absolutely suck if becoming Spider-person would always mean deaths in the family. And yes I cried at the end credits.

[@chandlermorgan708]

What's important it's not standing by allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing if you don't get that you'll get the first thing about being Spider-Man

29:52 Miles is also insanely talented, the fact that he could outrun all these spider-men, some of which have decades more experience than him. It might say something about Miguel too, that he looks for Spider-people with can-do attitudes who like working with others. So none of them will overpower him. It might be me looking too deep though, because I believe Miguel to be a Spider-Person and not completely an evil guy who surrounds himself with weaker yes men. Shivers, Miles beat Miguel too, so maybe he is just that good! Like he says later: He beated them all!
