I absolutely loved Spot because he’s the first “scientist turned into a monster during experiment gone wrong” character who actually ACTS like a scientist. He’s constantly experimenting and picking apart the broader applications of his powers over the course of the movie. And unlike every other supervillain (who usually just tolerates having a kryptonite) when he realises he can run out of holes, he quickly brainstorms a way to get rid of the weakness by recreating the accident that transformed him on a much larger scale. He's far from the joke everyone sees him as.

[@split2961]

I totally agree with you but I think Lizard fills that role too

[@whiteknight8734]

@@split2961 Lizard still acted like a super genius extremely confident person who already seemed to know exactly what he needed and wanted to do. Obviously with time his ambition became more than what he initially thought of but Spot actually seemed curious, natural about his new gained abilities and tried discovering more about his powers throughout the movie

[@dankwaifu2093]

I dunno if I'd go that far. Most characters tend to have to learn how to use their abilities, either through coordinated practice or happy accidents. It's an old hat to have someone fuck around with their powers and see what they can do. That's not particularly scientist-esque, it's just the nature of storytelling.

[@zacharybartolo5111]

I enjoy the fact he was basically a joke villain in the comics and he was made into a far, FAR more dangerous threat. Like Pockadot Man from Suicide Squad, I enjoy when writers take a weak, lame, forgettable, jokey character from the comics and twist them into something that is legitimately sad, heartfelt, thought provoking, memorable or just plain cool, character.

[@Ulises_The_Jackal]

My favorite scene is seeing Miguel trying to break open the portal. I like how his traumatic past is very clearly influencing his personality for the worst. Most tragic backstories are just used to give a character motivation, but you take one look at Miguel and go “yep that’s definitely what a man who watched his child disintegrate in his arms while believing it was entirely his fault would act like”.

[@scruffd0g193]

Sun-Spider isn't paralyzed! She has a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (just like me, and the creator of the character 🥰), which is a connective tissue disorder that affects essentially the glue that holds your body together. One of the things it causes is hypermobility, which I'm sure comes in handy as a Spiderperson, but it also causes a lot of pain and mobility problems, which is why Sun-Spider uses a wheelchair and crutches :) It was so cool to hear you guys talk about Sun-Spider because she means so much to me, I never dreamed of seeing a Spiderperson onscreen using the same crutches I do.

They managed to make every spiderman's movement different: Gwen has long graceful swings and jumps, because she does ballet, Miles incorporates parkour into movement (In the first movie Peter told him spidermen swing and not run, but the movie was about Miles doing his own thing, so he combined the two). And Pavitr is the only spiderman that uses his legs too. And Miguel goes full werewolf mode and climbs with his claws.

[@CRITTER_FROG]

I only realised watching this reaction, Miguel can't "stick" like the others right? So it's not even that he chooses to claw into the train to keep up, he has to.

[@swusi8874]

@@CRITTER_FROG Correct. Miguel's powers are a little different from a normal spider-person. His webs, as they said in the reaction, seem to be like Darkseid's (DC) omega beams. His fangs and claws. He also has a few other powers that weren't shown in the movie. Like telepathy, he ages slower and has speedy regeneration, has enhanced eyesight, ect ect. (pretty sure his webs in this film are just to make it so you know he's a little... different.) His powers are genetically modified unlike a normal-ish spider-person who got theirs from the radioactive spider.

[@chronosclaimsall]

@@swusi8874 I'm not even sure if Miguel's claws are natural, cuz when Miles overloaded his suit and threw him, he was unable to grab back onto the train for a bit because his fingers were normal.

[@juanita-dark]

@@chronosclaimsall The claws are part of his body. He also has no spider sense, just heightened senses.

[@Boziii]

@@chronosclaimsallkinda, well It depends on whose writing the character cuz for example in the Comics Spider-Man in general CANT stick to walks with shoes on cuz of the thick layer shoes have. Which is why most spider-people wear tight spandex outfits so their skin can get close as possible to the surface of something to stick. In the Movie tho the writers decided to ignore that part of Spider-Man and animated Miles walking on walks with shoes on, same for Gwen when she wears the chucks.

[@thewerewolff7248]

just to clear things up each spider-person has MULTIPLE canon events not just one. Canon events are events EVERY spider person WILL go through at some point in their lives. So the death of uncle arron is just one of Miles' canon events as is Jeff's death. They're two of Miles' canon events. He will have more after and may have even had one or two in between. Confirmed Canon events from this movie: The spider-person gains their powers from an incident with a spider. (typically a spider bite but Peni and Spider-ham shows theres room for variation) Death of a closed loved one (typically a family member) to teach the spider-person a lesson of responsibility. Upside down kiss with a love interest. Spider-person Bonds with an alien symbiote. Death of a police captain close to the spider-person. Spider person temporarily quits and leaves their suit in the garbage. Spider-person is trapped under rubble and lifts it off themselves in a feat of strength and willpower. Spider-person gets married. Spider-person is buried alive by a villain and crawls out of their grave. Death of love interest (assumed, heavily implied by Gwen)

[@lukewarm1242]

2099 and spider-woman also show variation on the spider bite (assuming this spider-woman has the same origin as the comics one). Both of them got their powers by experiments with spider cells, not an actual bite.

[@Wyattoons]

Plus from Miguel’s perspective 1610 is already teetering on the brink since the canon was already messed with by Miles getting bit. He needs to make sure Miles experiences every event cause just one not going right can destroy the universe.

[@Boziii]

@@lukewarm1242yea it’s kinda the same, her origin in the comics is that she had some kind of disease when she was a kid, as a last ditch effort her father put her in a cryostasis tube/pod. And injected her and the atmosphere in her pod with this serum that had a mixture of spider and other insect type DNA. She woke up like 2 decades later as an adult with somewhat spider powers. She had all the powers except for spider sense and web swinging, she could also fly and shoot these energy blast/zaps.

[@Boziii]

@@lukewarm1242same for Miguel except he is more spider than man. Which is why he has fangs and claws, he sadly doesn’t have spider sense which explains how he wasn’t able to predict/dodge vulture in the beginning. Instead of spidersense the writers gave him a much more enhanced physical prowess. So like yk how Peter is like really flexible, Agile, Super Strong, etc… so Miguel has all of that but ENHANCED/Way Stronger. Which is why his eye sight and his Listening is also enhanced.

[@lachlancarter1707]

I like the added detail at 53:49, when Miguel calls Miles the "original Anomaly", his glitching has him briefly wearing the old store-bought costume he wore in the first film, showing how the accusation actually cuts him very deeply and digs into his old fears of being spider-man's inadequate replacement. It makes it even more awesome when he then proceeds to shrug off the fear with his rebuttal to Miguel's face, a guy who is literally pinning him down and giving voice to Miles' self-doubts straight at him where he can't run away from them like he did before....so he doesn't. Like he does when Hobbie is subtly encouraging him during their talking whilst en-route to meet miguel, he confronts the obstacle head-on and pushes through it, his own way.

[@split2961]

For clarification, Miguel is not a vampire, he has sharp teeth because they’re venomous and can paralyze his enemies, that’s what he was trying with Vulture. Not going too deep into the backstory, he was put into an experiment that altered his genetic code completely so that he is, at a microscopic level, 50% spider. So it’s ironic Miles calls him out on actually being Spider-Man when he’s arguably more spider like then the rest of them

I think it would've come up in his flashback if he had. The movie intentionally made it seem like something was "off" about his backstory because there was: he hadn't had his defining moment yet. It's kinda like Miles before he lost his uncle and had _his_ defining moment, except much less awkward. Miles was still trying to be Spider-Man, but, before that moment he had with his uncle, he could've simply quit at any point.

[@alexsilva28]

@@Gestrid Yeah it's kinda confusing because the movie treats ASM90 as THE defining canon event for many of the Spider-people when we know is always the uncle's death.

Peter B sort of makes a good point that tragedy happens. That’s part of life. Bad things happen sometimes. But there’s a difference between accepting loss and actively making sure people die because “that’s how the story is supposed to go”.

Miles is the living embodiment of create your own story, don't opt for a path chosen for you, YOU make the path, YOU lead your life, YOU prove that destiny isn't given, it is made.

I'm surprised it's a rare group of people, to be honest. I expected more people to have seen and remembered that first trailer.

[@ser132]

@@Gestrid I saw the first trailer when it first dropped, but clearly the remembering part didn't happen, because I have no idea why that would clue someone in to it being a part 1. I also try to avoid spoilers/theories about the movies before I watch them, which often means I'll miss that sort of info. (for instance, I didn't realise/forgot(?) that Infinity War was a part 1, either :P ).

Not gonna lie, this movie and the last movie are the most incredible things we’ve probably ever gotten in terms of animation.

Not trying to poop on your parade, as she does have a trans flag in her room, buuuuut also pink, blue and white is her suit colors. Blue can symbolize depression, while the warm colors like pink can represent like warmth of love, and the white is just the overwhelming of multiple emotions. It has tons of meanings.

[@Emmalinezewyvern]

I’m like 75% sure that it was either confirmed or alluded to that while Gwen herself isn’t, She is an allegory for being trans, Like someone said higher up, Her dad can only see the person he thinks of (A criminal) but can’t see what she’s trying to show him, I think Cinemawins explained it in his video but it’s been a while so I don’t remember, Idk I at least personally relate to her since when I came out my mom was… Not as accepting TvT But I just think it’s a cool thing for her character, Plus yeah the protection sign in her room is a nice bonus

I love that they included Charlotte Webber/Sun-Spider in the movie going from a fanmade spidersona in 2018, to a canon spider in the comics, to being featured in Across the Spiderverse is one hell of a journey

[@mathewdelamere1]

Just to give an example of the great visual story telling. when Gwen's dad finds out it's her his background is blue split down the middle. The blue representing his identity as a cop and the split representing the conflict within him. when he decided to arrester it cuts away then back, the background is a solid blue, representing his choice. didn't pick up on that until like my third watch and keep finding new stuff.

[@CxrtifiedRigga]

To add onto that, when her background changes to her Spider eyes it’s because that’s all he can see her as, not his daughter but the spider criminal he’s been chasing all this time which influences that decision to arrest her

[@TheeKorovaMilkBar]

1:12:19 Yes, Eric, Yes. So much upon several re-watches of this movie, it's crazy. So, someone pointed out to me that Earth 42 Miles was supposed to be bit while he was at school (You can see the back of his braids during Spot's exposition) while our Miles was bit while he was blowing off his school work to do a graffiti piece with Aaron. Miles-Prowler was a good kid who went bad and Spider-Miles was a troubled kid gone good. Further more, in the first movie when Miles met his version of Spider-Man, and their Spidey Senses interacted with each other, the visual of Mile's senses were green and purple (Prowler's colors) but changed to red and blue to symbolize his destiny changing course. And because the writers are insane, Mile's is wearing a blue down jacket with a red hoodie at his father's party. When he ends up in Earth 42, he puts on a green down jacket with a purple hoodie, a subtle foreshadow of who he is that universe.

[@tiktaktictac]

This is one of the best movie I've ever watched. Every single frame is like an artwork, the jokes and memes are funny, the colors are amazingly vibrant, the music great as usual.

1:09:45 The theme that plays when Prowler Miles is revealed is the SAME SONG as the movie's intro (which was followed by Gwen's drums, before meshing with it). Then, Gwen's drums come in as she's recruiting everyone at the end. This could foreshadow Prowler Miles siding with our Miles and Gwen to see his dad again.

I wish it got a 3rd season featuring Scorpion, Hobgoblin, Morbius, Mr. Negative, & Carnage. The Spectacular Spider-Man honestly may be in my Top 3 superhero animated shows right under Invincible & Batman: The Animated Series. Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, X-Men: TAS, TMNT (2003), & the rest of the DCAU cartoons are all amazing too.

Definitely delivered all the hype that I had after the first movie. I saw it twice already, which is very rare for me, as I prefer to wait at least two years before rewatching movies. However, I had my first time ever trip to the US in June (and from my country it's a 10 hours trip) and when I came back in September, the whole flight was very quick due to the rewatch of not only Across the Spider-Verse, but also Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 3 (also my 2nd time watching) and HBO's The Last of Us (my favourite video game and again, 2nd time watching). My top 3 things that I've watched this year, simply perfect. And it's so beautiful that I had to buy my first ever art-book (not counting art books from collector's editions of video games) for freakin 40 bucks. Worth every cent

[@Professor_Wisteria_]

Its hilarious how up until we seen Prowler Miles, we didn't essentially know who it was.

It literally showed us the change in our Miles' destiny. Thats just great foreshadowing.

[@DanJMW]

Such an amazing film and you can feel the effort that went into making this a worthy sequel, not just "more of the same". I think what's great on a meta level about this story is that Miguel's rejection of Miles as a Spider-Man (and being "the original anomaly") echoes the initial rejection of Miles by some toxic fans when he was first introduced in Ultimate Spider-Man. I also have my own theories about how they will resolve the "breaking of canon" in the third movie, but I don't want to jinx it just in case I'm right!

[@neminem233]

The Spot is an oddly personal villain to me. The way he talks, his mannerisms, even the way he just stands are all almost identical to me, and this is a villain I’ve wanted to see for a major adaptation for at least a year, probably more. Easily one of my all time favorite characters now

[@zacharyjackson1829]

because he was just a normal guy and proceeds to be fairly normal for most of his screentime. He just wanted to at least be acknowledged by the guy that ruined his life, he didn't even seem to care about revenge until Miles ignored him and to quote Spot, "was being very rude"

[@hypertwink]
