The Early Development of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - Creating a New Style

[@WarpingFist]

For those asking, no I didn’t specifically mess with the frame rate of the Spider-Verse clips. I don't actually know why scenes in the clips have higher fps. There are 2 potential reasons. 1. The whole video was exported in 60fps with a high bitrate. Ive done it for some of my videos in the past, and often it’s because I don’t really care about the fps of a video. just like how the resolution for some of my videos changes constantly because I don’t care about it. In this case, I wanted this video to be very high quality in comparison to my other videos so I exported the whole video with max settings. Bitrate, Resolution, and FPs. I dunno, I'm not a technical person so that may or may not be the case. 2. I screen-record all my videos, so it's possible that all my footage was taken from a channel that changed the fps. Honestly, I don't remember since I made this so long ago. If this was the case then you should know that I didn’t purposely look for clips with higher frame rates, honestly I don’t think I even noticed the clips looked different. Yeah so, just in case you typing that comment right now, I didn’t raise the fps of Spider-verse because I hated the animation or something. I love it just as much as the next person. the changing of the fps was unintentional. I didn't even notice the frame rate was higher until people pointed it out a while after I uploaded this.

that's not how exporting works lmao

[@WarpingFist]

@@charliecook3717 Thank You

[@pojo_quiet]

@@WarpingFist not trying to say you did it in bad faith, my guess is the clips you downloaded were interpolated to 60fps and you didn't notice if they were in the normal frame rates when you downloaded them even when you exported in 60 fps your editing software wouldn't invent new frames unless you added the proper effects for it to do so, it would simply repeat the same frames it's an honest mistake I just find it very ironic since the video is about the art of the movie with clips that disregard that art

Sony really struck gold with Spider-Verse, so rather than put all focus into live action they should focus more on the animated films.

They’re obviously pushing spider verse the most with marketing, but I like that they’re not pushing out animated movies like that. They gave them enough time to make across the spider verse just as great as the first one, and I’d rather keep that than see a new one twice a year.

[@brandonspain12345]

I remember the Blu Ray release featured this version of the movie and it was a very different movie. But I appreciate the final film much more. What was not in this cut was that the directors made a trailer which had a grittier tone. For instance, when Spider-Man gets blasted by the beam that opens the dimensions, he actually dies. Featuring his face burning to nothing with an image of Peter's screaming skull and half his mask ripping away. And his tombstone said he was born in 2001. Meaning he was 17 years old when he died.

[@WarpingFist]

God, that sounds dark. The part where spider-man gets incinerated is featured in the animatic video from Alberto Mielgo.

[@xxhobocatxx2869]

With regards to the Peter only being 17 thing they were being accurate to the source material here. That would have been about how old Peter was in the Ultimate universe when he died. Which is what lead to Miles taking up the mantle of Spider-Man. Just like in the movie. The whole having his face burnt off thing is definitely pretty gruesome though. I can see why that didn't make it in the final cut.

[@blankcanvas3358]

Finding out that a man like Alberto got fired over how to make the movie, I feel conflicted. I would’ve enjoyed seeing how a more grounded setting would’ve turned out artistically, especially after personally buying the art book and seeing the animatics. But I will never deny how much I love the way they took advantage of the cartoony setting to to include characters from vastly different worlds, and put them in the same room. Examples: -Noir is straight from a black and white movie. -Penny is expressive as heck, with a killer mech. -Spider-Ham is pure cartoon magic. (They need to call back the mallet he gave miles) And I would never want to lose this.

[@iancruz6617]

They gonna include spider ham either way I guess he probably look like his spider verse comic look.

[@takahashierik]

I love Alberto but I'm not sure the tone he wanted would have worked for a Spider-Man movie. It could still be a great movie but much more divisive/controversial. In the end I think it was better that Spider-verse ended up the way it is and now he gets to explore adult themes in his short films

[@deddrz2549]

@@iancruz6617 I mean we really dont know if spider ham would have been in the movie originally, and even so he probably would look different since AQlberto's style tried very herd to not have clean lines or symmetry with the designs

[@squidking_]

About Ganke being majorly cut from the final film, the main reason Lord and Miller gave was that Spider-Man: Homecoming had just been released and adapted a lot of Gankes character into Ned Leeds. The directors of Spider-Verse saw this and thus didn’t want to seem like they were doing the same character again, and thus his appearance was cut down to a few scenes and little development

[@valdirberbert9361]

The thing is that Into The Spider-Verse has passionate producers, it's not really Sony that is doing the work here, if it didn't had Phil Lord and Chris Miller I believe this would have turn out like the Emoji movie, when Sony doesn't have those good people in charge, we get things like Morbius or the upcoming El Muerto movie

[@WarpingFist]

Yeah, when it comes to creating amazing films like spider-verse, you need to assemble a team who actually care deeply about the characters and world.

[@downspiral]

I am perfectly fine with the current approach Spider-Verse took, but Alberto's vision was badass! I love the edgier grittier feel with the brushed lines, realistic character designs and shakey camera. It feels not only cool but also very personal and radiates a lot of soul. The director for Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem did suggest how the 2D/3D merge style appeals because it is imperfect looking, and people connect with that. That is the case with Alberto's vision.

[@BELUD1007]

The portal scene is probably connected with The Spot.

[@kerpjosales1615]

YES MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

[@fernandodelgado4329]

It's suprising how SONY is ruining their own live action Spider-Verse connections to Tom Holland Spider-Man because Spider-Man No Way Home was great IMO, Into the Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse, and Beyond the Spider-Verse are going to be awesome, But still, SONY really needs to get their act together, Fantastic video overall because I do enjoy them a lot.

Pretty sad that the miles video game is really the only thing to actually use Ganke. He’s not in any of the cartoons, and in the spider-verse film he’s essentially an Easter egg

[@WarpingFist]

Ned from the MCU basically destroyed most chances of Ganke playing a major part in any Miles adaptation. The only piece of media where he's actually a major figure in Miles's story is the comics and the ps4 game.

[@xkee2013]

Am I the only one that would have LOVED to see the fully realized 3 hour darker, grittier more grounded fleshed our version of Alberto Mielgo's vision. I mean don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the finished product version that we got. But after seeing all this and the original more realistic damn near hard rated pg-13 version they were going for, I gotta say I would much rather preferred this one. But I realize that they were going for a family friendly Spider-man animated film. Which come on, Spider-man is ultimately family friendly. But for comic book fans like me, we know better. This original version overall with it's drawings and detailed images would have been so much more BADASS!!! P.S. The final Night Suit they never used for Miles Morales Spider-man should totally be a downloadable skin for Miles to were in Marvel's Spider-man 2!!!

[@no.1spidey-fan182]

This is crazy cause one of if not the ONLY problem I had with Into The Spider-Verse is that Miles goes from NOT understanding how to use his powers AT ALL to being a PRO by the end because of ONE scene😭. And now I know originally he apparently goes through such a HARD time which actually SEPARATES him from Peter who was able to fight off PRO hero teams from the jump

[@WarpingFist]

Right, the training montage is the one sequence that should've been used in the final film.

[@adrielcruz2736]

Well when you think about it, the whole movie is him training and learning methods to use his powers. Miles just never had faith in himself, he never thought he could be like them and that he needed MUCH more time to be even remotely ready. Also even after we see him fail to use his powers and struggle a bit, an example is right before Miles get his “let’s do this one last time” he’s showing how he can walk on walls and he slips off.

[@IronheartvsMiles]

This is not true at all, The whole film is Miles's training in real time. He was not a so called "pro" in the end. He was still making mistakes, but got better.

[@windghost2]

@@IronheartvsMiles Exactly. And once we get to the leap of faith scene, he believes in himself and let’s go of his fears to become the hero he was destined to be. But with his own spin on it.

[@hopesjourneyVA]

After watching Across the Spider-Verse, all of Peter B. Parker's cut quotes like "you have to think sbout saving *_ONE_* person, Miles..." hits hard and makes more sense.

[@RecordToDeathToBoredom]

The end result is very telling. Unfortunate to say, cutting out Genki was the right choice to make. Too many characters that have to fit in to the movie and we've seen that kind of development of "the boy that doesn't want to be a hero and wants to be normal" many times already. In the beginning of the video, it's stated that they wanted to do something completely different from the other Spidermans and wanted it to be popping fun. In the end, kids won't understand the whole "don't wanna be a hero" thing. They're dreamers. They came to the movie to watch a superhero because they want to dream of being one. So the entire idea of "not wanting to be a hero" is just irrelevant. The movie needed to be fast and needed to get straight to the point. It can't stay in one place for longer than 5 minutes. And Miles' development can't really afford being with Genki the entire time when there's so much more potential to be had with the rest of the spidermans. They had about 2 hours to work with and a TON of animating to do. If it's for the kids, there doesn't need to be much said. No matter what the behind the scenes were, it's very clear the direction they took were all justified. I'm just glad they were given time and that they were willing to experiment with so many things.

[@h-man7620]

I always found behind the scenes stuff interesting so it was pretty interesting hearing about the "alternate universe cut", I almost kind of wished Genki played a big role but I understand why they changed it, what I am interested is though is how Genki would work with the spiderpeople. I could see a movie where Genki, Miles, and Peter B Parker go on a wacky journey but it's kind of harder for me to imagine Genki, Miles, Peter B parker, Gwen, Peni, Spider-Ham, and Spider-man noir going on a journey, and I wonder how Genki would've interacted with those characters. Also another thing I found interesting was the nightmare scene, more specifically the black... goo, gop, slime, spots? I don't know what they're called. What I was mean is the black spots that surround Miles' family during the nightmare scene, I might be wrong but I feel like it at least partly inspired the scene in Across the spider-verse where Miles is knocked out and gets a hallucination of Spot destroying the multiverse. I know I just rambled on about basically nothing but this kinda stuff amazes me which is why I LOVE seeing things scrapped in media, it simply makes me thing what could've been and what was recycled for future media.

[@LeonardoSilva-xm8ft]

absolutely great video just one thing, if I'm not mistaken, originally it was supposed to be tasm 3 (but in animation so they don't have to use such a big budget ) Which ended up becoming a solo Miles movie and then the other spiders were added.

[@n8gr8films]

If Spiderverse didn’t work, I can honestly see Sony just saying fuck it and giving their rights to Disney. Thank god it worked tho
