Sure it can be questionable but she's essentially homeless remember. When Miles saves the people of Mumbattan he's the one to hype him up afterwards. During the time in the Spider Society he's giving Miles good life advice on knowing what he fights for before getting deep, checking to see if he has a good homelife, calls out Miguel on his BS and finally reminds him about the palms when he's locked up. Not to mention everything he does to help Gwen afterwards.

Donald Glover is actually the reason Miles exists in the first place. Brian Michael Bendis (creator of Miles) saw that episode of Community where Glover was wearing Spider-Man pajamas, and it inspired him to create Miles. Glover also voiced Miles in the Ultimate Spider-Man tv show, so he did somewhat achieve his dream.

[@campbell91988]

He also legit played Aaron Davis in Homecoming. Spidey catches him selling weapons or some such, you just don't see him as Prowler.

[@EternalDensity]

Aaaaand as a deeper layer, there was a strong negative reaction from some people initially to the Miles Morales comics: to them he wasn't supposed to be Spider-Man... just like in this movie, Miles "wasn't supposed to be Spider-Man".

[@coolcras7]

You missed an important detail, Donald Glover wanted to play Spiderman, which caused a “debate” about a black person being Peter Parker. He did not get the role, with the response being he was too old for the part even though he was the same age as Andrew Garfield, who did get the amount. Miles was created because of Donald as a way of saying anyone could be Spiderman.

Agreed, I’m not tired of superhero movies, especially Spider-Man movies, but I am tired of Spider-Man movies who run on the fundamental belief that Spider-Man can’t be Spider-Man unless he is also the poster boy for depression meds, which is why I really hope Miles can prove that the Canon Theory is not real.

It and Guardians 3 coming out within months of each other and both being raving successes says a ton about the rest of the superhero stuff.

[@donovan802]

Exactly! Lately, many were spreading the thought of superhero fatigue, and I didn’t _completely_ agree, solely because not every superhero movie has been bad. I think that started with Phase 4 of the MCU, and while we’ve had some mid-awful ones, not everything was garbage (No Way Home and Guardians 3 were some of the best recent MCU movies, even when the former was fan service without much consistency). Many other productions have shown to be better than the MCU with superhero movies, primarily because lots of them have had better writing and more ambitious storytelling that entices the audience more. Plus, most of them show that you can still represent a lot of people of different traits (like nationalities, genders, and romantic interests), as long as you make sure the story exists to tell more about the character rather than just one or more of those traits and that you showcase those traits appropriately (not in some stereotypical, non-comedic and blatantly sexist way like She-Hulk).

I think that Spider-Verse finally managed to make some people start to realize that animation is an almost limitless art form that can do so much if you can only think of it. This movie absolutely wouldn't work in live action, and if it did, it wouldn't be half as effective or visually interesting. This is basically art at its purest.

[@SpacialRend7]

That’s something I said about the Sonic films and the Mario movie. To me, the Sonic films would’ve been better received had they been fully animated like the Mario movie, which performed very well because it was able to accomplish things that live action couldn’t. Not to say that the Sonic films are doing bad, but they could’ve been better with animation alone.

Fun fact, Gwen's theme has a high-pitched and sped up electric guitar that played the original spider man theme.another fun fact is when her dad says, "Go easy in the penguin" it's a metaphor to gwen , because in the peter porter's universe gwen is a penguin so in reality , the dad saying that means "go easy on yourself" Also, I feel like they are mistaking timeliness with time travel

Kick me if Im wrong or if it was obvious, but I think Gwen's character was definitely written to be emotionally repressant. As someone who also does it, its so clear to see it on her. Snapping out of nowhere, waiting to be openly anxious until no one is around, physically distancing herself from really big emotional problems like her dad and only expressing those feelings later, etc. And its cool to see cause in her line of work, that would make sense, especially after her Peter's death.

For those unaware, the original ETA for Beyond the Spider-Verse was speculated by many to be 2026, but the escalation of the Hollywood Writers’ Strike put the movie on an indefinite delay. I was already content beforehand with waiting longer given the phenomenally high bar and passion put into these movies (and the fact I’d be astounded to hear how the hell they would top what we’ve seen in Across the Spider-Verse), but as someone who has been striving to enter the animation industry for years, hearing how film and animation companies ignore these protests makes me scared shitless about the future of animation.

Here's something that will blow your mind. In the comics, Miles Morales comes from Earth-1610 where his uncle, Aaron Davis is the villain known as the Prowler. Earth-1610 was created in 2000, but the character of the Prowler existed as far back as the 1970s in the main Earth-616 universe. The Prowler of the Earth-616 universe is more of an anti-hero who is an ally of Peter Parker's Amazing Spider-Man most of the time, but occasionally an enemy. 616 Prowler also isn't Aaron Davis, who was a unique character to Earth-1610, and was created as an antagonist for Miles Morales's Ultimate Spider-Man. 616 Prowler is...

They must have been featured in different ways. Like, a multi-verse Spider-man comic series can feature so many of them in one series. They don't have to have separate ones.

The Donald glover scene is also a reference to Spider-Man Homecoming, the dude he plays that Spider-Man stops in the parking garage is Aaron Davis. He even mentions having a nephew that lives in the area

I swear I was like one of the only people who knew this was originally labelled a “part 1” and then was renamed. I went in knowing it was gonna have a TBC, I just didn’t know when. I remember I thought it be right when Miles fled from the spider team on the skyward bullet train.

If it helps any, this movie actually did have a full arc. But it wasnt miles's, it was Gwens. The movie begins with her and ends with her. The story is about her relationship with her father and her secret identity. Miles story is a secondary storyline to this movie, but the main story over the whole trilogy

[@mrrd4444]

ONE person designed like 99% of the Spider people costumes in this movie (Kris Anka) and basically dozens of them are from real comics but there ARE multiples made up for the movie. The ones who exist apart from the main cast: Spider-Cat, Therapist Spidey (Ezekiel), Sun spider (wheelchair), Peter Parkedcar (Spiderbuggy), Spider-Man Unlimited, Webslinger (Cowboy), Maybelle (Steampunk Spider-woman), Ben Reilly, Kaine, Araña (big buff lady with the blue suit), some versions of the Mech Spiderman suits, Spider-Man Unlimited, The Bombastic Bag Man, Mayday Parker (Spider Girl). I don't remember the rest but there's a LOT more I'm missing.

[@adelseifeddine1758]

Not only did they give Donald Grover a cameo, if you've seen Spider-man Homecoming (the MCU's spider-man) he said in that movie that he's got a nephew: it's Miles Morales.

Fun fact don glover was actually the inspiration for miles and even has voice acted him before

[@NovaAnimations-de9vo]

Loved the reaction guys, I’ve been sick recently and your reactions make me feel a lot better. Also glad you like Hobie too. Speaking of Hobie, there is a whole lot of foreshadowing lines and snippets in both this and Into the Spider-Verse. Here are a few that I was able to find. 1. In Into the Spider-Verse, while Miles and Aaron are spray-painting, the 42 spider glitches. It also glitches when Miles finds it before knowing about the collider. This was foreshadowing that the spider wasn’t from Miles universe and almost everybody glossed over it until now. 2. Another thing from the first movie is that when the Peter of Miles universe saves him from falling and discovers that he’s also a Spider-Man. The colors for when Mile’s spidey-sense goes off change from purple and green to red and blue. This signifies that the Miles from Earth-1610’s fate of becoming the next Prowler would change to become the next Spider-man. It’s CRAZY how they were foreshadowing future events even in the first movie. 3. During Spot’s backstory, when the 42 spider transfers from it’s universe to Miles universe, you could actually see Earth-42 Miles in the background. This is another way to show that Earth-42 Miles and Earth-1610 Miles fates were swapped, the spider was about to bite 42 Miles but was transferred into another universe. 4. Before Miles and Miguel meet, Hobie begins taking mechanical equipment from the base. Now you would think he was only doing this for fun or out of boredom, but he was actually taking those parts to make Gwen’s new watch after she gets kicked out. He was also trying to get Miles from going with the other Spiders back to the base. He KNEW how things would play out. Hobie is the GOAT.

[@deadgame2098]

Miguel is not a villain, he is an antagonist. That's the word you guys were looking for in your discussion :) Neither Miles nor Miguel is a hero or villain, they are the protagonist and antagonist of the story - they both think they're right in their own way.

[@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx]

I love how you guys talk during the movie and theorize about what’s going to happen. It might frustrate some, but it’s your style and I dig it. I also find it funny whenever you guys pause and then talk about something that the answer is about to be said in the next scene 😂 it happens often and sometimes you guys are right on the money, but it’s funny when you’re off and then hit play to find out. It really does lead to good humor and you sometimes even comment that you should just let the movie play sometimes 😂 very self aware

When Miles landed in Earth 42, I knew something was up when he didn't have toys on his shelf.

[@markdavidmagat9866]

I want Miles 42 to be an anti hero in his universe. Like he's still a good kid and wants to do good, but because he grew up rough, he does it in a less desirable way. Like a Robin hood type. Lik3 he steals from the rich and corrupt and gives back to the people type beat

[@zillalordstudios5409]

Originally, Across The Spider-Verse was going to be split into two parts but due to how the studio abused the animators and production team during the movies creation, they decided that they were going to make one last Spider-Verse movie after this one. And I’m pretty sure the real reason why they released 2 or 3 versions of the same movie into theatres was because the movie was actually not finished yet and Sony, wanting to rush the movie out for money sake, released the movie before it was fully completed. Hence why some of the scenes have different animations or removed/ added audio tracks.

[@The_Phantasm]

I was a bit apprehensive when I first saw the trailer for portraying Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 in an antagonistic way because Miguel is a far cry from a villain and he's also my all-time favourite Spider-Man in the comics but the movie did an amazing job for portraying him not as the villain but more like an opposing force.

[@princessyluna]

Yeah, he’s still a very likable character and you can understand his actions based on his backstory. If I was in his position I’d probably be hesitant to just let miles go back home as well

[@zzeroara9511]

I do wonder how the 3rd movie will go about dealing with him. To be frank, although he hasn't actually killed anyone, I seriously doubt any of these characters would ever forgive him even if he realized he was wrong. But on the other hand, killing him doesn't seem like the right answer. Unless, and hear me out...they combined the two solutions by having him realize his wrong-doings and sacrificing himself to kill Spot 🤔

[@Simone-yv3ro]

I know I'm late but fun fact, any spider character, even ocs can be canon to this universe. Some of these characters are actually ocs and characters from youtube videos or ones that were sent in.

This movie hit me in the feels with the parents dynamic with Miles throughout, I had a lot of the same conversations and heard them argue about the same things when I was fooling around with some girl, and things went a little too far. watched this in the theatre with my buddies and was sobbing hearing it all over again, I live this movie, it means a lot to me although it's only half a story

Fun Fact. Miles only exists BECAUSE of Donald Glover. There was a big push online for him to play peter parker and to just have spiderman black. so in an episode of community (which if you haven't already you need to watch) he wears a spider-man suit. THAT SCENE is what inspired the creator of miles to MAKE miles. Because he liked the idea of a black spider-man so much.

[@tuite27]

Miles morales exist because of a Donald glover scene from community, so him being the prowler is so wholesome

[@colt1903]

The way I've been led to understand Miguel is that he's kinda like a good guy that wishes he wasn't a good guy, because if he wasn't he wouldn't have to put up with the responsibility that comes with being Spider-Man that he took upon himself because he didn't know anyone better for the job. Ironic that a character like that is now leading an organization of Spider-Men.

He’s not British in the comics, but his design was originally conceived for Spider-UK, so they made him British in the movie as a nod to that.

Back to the Future did it! The first movie had the same sort of "the adventure is over, but there's always room for more!" vibe at the end with Doc whisking Marty and Jennifer off to the future (much like Gwen appearing at the end of ITSV through the portal), then the second movie ended with a genuine cliffhanger (Doc getting zapped to the past and Marty having to figure out a way through it, vs. Miles ending up in the wrong timeline and Gwen setting up a new team to help).

[@battousaix4263]

[@WiFiDown37811]

Something I wanna draw attention to is Miguel's whole philosophy that "canon events" have to occur to protect the timelines. He took the place of a deceased version of himself from another timeline and altered the timeline. That's what makes him believe that an entire universe was destroyed because of his actions. The Spider people that fall in line with Miguel just see what happened to him and conform because they're afraid of it happening to their own universes. Miles however sees through the bullshit. He's not willing to just let people die when he knows that he can save them. There's no guarantee that his universe will collapse if he saves his father. Not just that, but Miguel is just flat out wrong about Miles. He tells Miles that he was the first anomaly but that's not true. _Miguel_ was the first anomaly. He was the first one to exploit interdimensional travel to have the life he couldn't have in his own timeline. Something about the comics when it comes to Miguel is that his mother criticizes him and tells him that all he does is destroy, and it's true. In his attempt to save the multiverse, all he does is destroy. He wears the most aggressive costume (talons and sharp protruding weapons, not to mention his teeth), he's the only Spider-Man that isn't funny, and anytime he says anything about anyone else, he's tearing them down. Constantly insulting those around him. His intentions are moral, he just doesn't want to see entire universes die, but he's going about it in the wrong way.

Also Aaron Davis does not exist in Earth-616. He came from the Ultimate Universe, as well as his nephew. I *think* that's about the sum of it, as far as I know?

[@TheLivelovelaugh165]

Little overlooked plot detail: Miguel is right, imprisoning Miles was the best solution. Spot is only in Miles' world because he feels powerful enough to face him, he wants Miles. If Miguel did imprison Miles, Spot would've gone to HQ to fight him there and the canon event couldn't happen. Miles escaping is an unfortunate self-fulfilling prophecy.

[@beef3442]

Spots goal is to take everything away from Miles, he would’ve still killed his family before going to find Miles

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

There's such a meta aspect to it as well, with how much backlash there was to Miles as a character when he was introduced in the comics. Even today you often see media that seems to go out of its way to refer to him as Miles Morales but not Spider-Man. For that reason I do think canon events still apply to Miles as Miguel seemed to think so. And with where the canon stuff is going, I think it's a deconstruction of the ideas a lot of fans have who want every spiderman story to be the same with uncle ben and him being a poor student, etc.

nah they werent pushing for Donald Glover to be Miles, they were pushing for him to be Peter Parker but he didnt want the part because Peter is white so then the Ultimate Spider-Man writers and artists CREATED Miles Morales' whole character and then based the design off Donald Glover... and he even voiced Miles in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. so the whole reason Miles even exists is because Donald Glover exists
