The craziest part to me is how none of the spidermen besides Miguel werent actually able to keep up with Miles and they all were shown as being unskilled heroes.

You know why he succeeds and everyone else fails to catch him? Because he is Batman! I-I mean, because he is the chosen one in this movie. He is the protagonist, and I agree as well, they should have wrote this bit differently, they would easily catch him, and then later, while he is in prison, someone sympathetic to him, like I dunno, GWEN, breaks him out.

You could argue that Uncle Ben’s death is the only actual Canon Event that matters in the context of what it means to be Spider-Man

[@coolman229]

I prefer how it was addressed in ITSV where the death of a family member was simply something they all had dealt with, not that it was a fated event. It's just something that thematically ties them together rather than something predestined by fate itself or else the multiverse will collapse.

[@TheCapedWanderer]

@@coolman229 not thematically and not exactly predestined, but Uncle Ben’s death is actually necessary in the conception of Spider-Man. It was his fault: his selfish inaction caused his uncle’s death; therefore he must help when he can *because* he can, i.e. defin. Spider-Man, n. He who has both power, responsibility. Without that event the character does unravel.

[@MoodKapProductions]

This movie sums up all my problems with multiverse storylines. The concept of a multiverse constant is one of the dumbest things ever conceived when in concept the multiverse is infinite. It just becomes a mess EDIT: also since the PS4 game is included that means it also goes against the "canon" because Peter and Miles are both active and Miles' uncle is still alive

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

I only accept at best an alternate dark time line where the heroes failed or turned evil, but not a whole Multiverse though because they always get too big, too complicated and then the questions always come "Why don't all the heroes team and stop big threat if one of them needs helps".

[@ObservingProcrastinator]

I think a general constant can work fine, more so when said "constant" is more a general tendency/isn't something overly specific and isn't an absolute occurrence. I guess in that same line of thought, that "universal constant" I would say is not the same as the trope of a "time-locked event" since I feel those tend to apply more to one specific timeline versus all timelines. Then again, those two concepts do tend to be used interchangeably.

[@bcroyceart]

I don’t get the appeal of multiverse storylines to be honest. Too big. Too complicated. They break story consistency and they always are about the worlds shattering. We as people get more invested about the story of a few people we get to see develop in their conflicts vs seeing universes of people we’ve never seen get obliterated.

[@ObservingProcrastinator]

@blumace22 I think when it is a more "limited" multiverse, things are far more interesting. That said, even if well written, a lot of multiverse stories far too often go with the general blanket statements of it being an "infinite" multiverse or that it is a multiverse where "every" possibility that could happen can and did happen. In that same vein, and perhaps more importantly than it being an infinite or limited multiverse, is writers making it too easy, all things considered, to travel to other realities. Though, I guess it being hard to traverse the multiverse falls into the idea of a limited multiverse.

[@Frozen_Death_Knight]

Just got back home from watching Across the Spider-verse and honestly, I agree with you. The most damning thing about the plot is what an uncritical eye all the characters take to "canon events" when nearly every continuity of Spider-Man media has vastly different events that are not shared across the entire franchise. The only thing that is even remotely close to a "canon event" is the death of uncle Ben, but even that is not a constant. Heck, in Spider-Man: The Animated Series Peter actually finds an alternate universe uncle Ben to convince Spider-Carnage to stop his madness of destroying all realities. Considering how much liberty the writers have taken in tying up all Spider-Man continuities into these films, this also means that the story can be fully critiqued based on what happens in those other stories. So in the case of TAS it in fact directly contradicts the very idea of "canon" by having versions of Peter Parker that are successful with living, breathing relatives. Finally, I find the whole "canon event" talk in the movie to be a very hamfisted way of criticising fans for not accepting certain aspects of Spider-Man such as Miles Morales and other types of disliked Spider-Man media. It is pretty blatant what the movie is talking about and it is such a poor commentary at that, especially when it does a disservice to the first movie that successfully made Miles Morales a likeable character. Ripping into fans despite the first movie being overall very liked by fans of Spider-Man is just in such poor taste and comes off as petty.

[@kingj9664]

I mean besides the overly angry spider man fans Laura's majority of people who saw this movie are Sparta and fans and didn't really have a problem with this plus this movie doesn't go completely outright attacking fans like people said it is it feels more like purities over reacting

[@indie_gamer7]

I think Miguel is bulshiting the Spider people because of it, we can see multiple flaws in his plan, i think his plan is flawed because he can't accept that he might be at fault for the universe he destroyed (after all, that universe might had a super collider aswell) This fits the narrative of how "oh this guy is not Spider-Man because he never had a uncle ben" because multiple universe didn't have an uncle ben, if the next movie we see Spider-ma'm (aunt may) then it will confirm that Miguel's logic is wrong as she never lost anything Resuming: Miguel's logic is flawed on porpuse to criticize how nitpicking fans of the series also make flawed points aswell, how not all Spider-Man stories need the same events to happen.

[@Frozen_Death_Knight]

​@@indie_gamer7 The issue with that line of thinking is that it makes basically every single variation of Spider-Man who followed Miguel a moron. Not a single one points out any flaw in the "canon events" theory, yet all of them are supposed to be geniuses. They just straight up accept the premise without actually debating it thoroughly, even when Miles brings up some fairly legitimate points. I've been a fan of Spider-Man since childhood from 90's and onward. Not a single show or movie of Spider-Man would have accepted "destiny" as an excuse not to save people. Using pre-destined events, "canon events", for a Spider-Man story and having practically all of them accept it as a fact is a massive betrayal of who Spider-Man is supposed to be. The story of his uncle's death hinges upon Peter Parker having the ability to have prevented it. He misused his powers and indirectly got Ben Parker killed because of his unwillingness to take responsibility for his gifts. If an event like uncle Ben's death is just destiny, then it robs Spider-Man of his own agency. That's why Miguel being wrong makes the story even worse, since that makes practically all of the other Spiders complicit in preventing events that did not need to happen. It's just a cop-out excuse and the writers wrote themselves into a corner with a very anti-Spider-Man story.

[@kingj9664]

@@Frozen_Death_Knight I don't know about all of that but it feels like a lot of over thinking and taking stuff too seriously. Cause doesn't really seem to make the story worse and doesn't really make all the Spartans morons because they did see what happened to that universe Miguel went to.

[@indie_gamer7]

@@Frozen_Death_Knight thing is, Miguel more or less has a source to privide, if any asks why should they actually follow him he could bring up the fact he saw a universe and billions of people die because of it, this is something i doubt Spider-Man would risk, having their entire universe wiped because they thought "that's no way that is true" We also see in the central there seems to be alot of people who don't trust what Miguel says, and there isn't Spider-leople who would prove his ligic is bullshit like Spider-ma'm So again, would you be willing to risk your entire universe being destroyed to test to see if that logic is actually true? Also we have to remember one thing, I don't think 616 or the movie Spider-man are there, with (repeting my last point) makes me believe he did not call any Spider-people who would prove that his logic is bullshit to his universe.

They kill off and replace Spider-Man, and repeat over and over how anyone can wear the mask, and they disguise the whole thing as a loving tribute to the character, sprinkle a couple of memes and easter eggs on top that people recognize, but it’s more like JJ Abrams take on Star Wars. Anything that’s not a copy paste of the original trilogy is bad, so ignoring that the prequels happened is to begin to make things ”right”. But that’s not Star Wars. Star Wars is George Lucas.

[@RogueFox2185]

I have no issue with the concept of canon events as while they have changed the details in different continuities the end result is the same as they’re important for Spider-Man to grow as a character, however the movie should have done with a few changes in order to make Miguel’s argument for keeping anomalies in check better: 1) Instead of a police captain it should be someone else that particular Spider-Man cares about, within most continuities regarding Miles Morales along with his uncle dying it’s then followed some time later by either his father who is killed in the line of duty saving innocent civilians or it’s his mother who died by the hands of his main nemesis. (As it was Venom: 1610 who ended up killing his mom before the Ultimate Universe was destroyed.) So with that in mind Miles should be able to save his dad but also it comes at a heavy price, Spider-Man should on principle try to save everyone as much as he can but there also must be some losses as well. 2) Since it was established that Peter Parker: 1610 was never supposed to have died in the first place, Miles own universe should be glitching randomly within subtle instances in the background so that we know something is wrong but the characters themselves are oblivious to it at first. Shutting off the collider in the first film should have been like putting a small bandaid on a gaping wound, as the universe itself hasn’t recovered from the loss of the original Spider-Man. So with the revelation that the unraveling of said universe is getting much worse as time goes on because of his absence, aside from the existence of the Spot being an issue there also has to be a significant canon event set in place for Miles to go through to stabilize the unraveling or Peter Parker: 1610 would need to be revived in order to get the story back on track so to speak. 3) They should’ve had at least two more instances of canon events being broken and shown to us so that we have a bit more to work with on understanding them, as there was nothing to indicate of why Miguel taking the place of his alternate self would cause the canon of that universe to be disrupted. Also regarding Peter Parker himself the Spider-Verse films often do him dirty with his portrayal, (with the exception of the original Blond Peter, but of course he had to be killed off early in the first film) not one version of Peter Parker besides Peter B. Parker (And believe me I have my own grievances with him) try to side with Miles Morales but also the fact that they were all stupid enough to follow him and leave the base undefended tells you all you need to know about what they think of him.

It's likely that he wasn't a member of the spider society of course but That's still worth something

[@Shield-Scope]

11:49 That’s exactly what I’m saying! The idea of Canon Events is BS and it contradicts what a multiverse is about. The spider verse is clearly unlimited, in fact there was formerly a spiderman game called Spiderman Unlimited and the multiverse was brought to a universe and somehow all of those universes are intact. A multiverse with unlimited universes means that there are infinite possibilities like universes where Miles could still be bitten by the spider but Peter doesn’t die with various possibilities like him being able to stop the collider after saving Miles or even try teaching Miles how to be a spider-man awhile stopping the collider. There were unlimited possibilities of that situation where Peter lives or dies and maybe Miles could also die.

If Uncle Ben's death was completely unavoidable due to fate then that means that even if Peter made the morally right decision and stopped it from happening then someone else would just come up and shoot Uncle Ben, robbing the death of its entire purpose. Peter making a selfish decision and using his powers for personal gain indirectly led to his uncle's death which is why it impacts him so significantly and why he starts taking responsibility so seriously.

I just think those "events" are ties to other universes. All Spiderverses are connected by the shared theme of "Spiderman". As long as Spiderman exists, even as a mere idea, the universes in question are part of the same net (which is why Spiderman can canonically meet the comic creator Stan Lee). But let's say, someone time traveled to a Spiderman-comic verse and managed to alter the timeline to the point the comic is never written. Once canonical event "Spiderman comic exist" gets erased, the spiderlink is gone. My guess is that it wouldn't matter that much it if weren't for Kingpin machine weakening reality thread, something like the universes are sort of sick and will die if cut out of the Spidernet.

[@shinymk6562]

After watching the video and film twice, the only thing nagging me is how at the end of the film, a big moment of realization for Gwen and the audience is how her Dad chose to resign as police chief and nothing seemed to go wrong. Gwen even remarks during her final speech if I remember, that Miles showed her how anything is possible. No I still think its 100% possible that Miguel is simply misinformed (as opposed to being completely wrong) about the canon event thing. Even Miles himself tries to bring up how listening to an AI that determines "canon" is really messed up. So I still believe Miguel can simply be misinformed on the whole subject, as the purpose of the film itself is to challenge the whole "canon event" idea. They have to show examples that dhowcase why Miguel would believe such a thing, but its completely possible the real reason behind universal disruptions has not been revealed or is still being developed. Given how this is a Part 1 & 2 film, I think it is a little too trigger happy to conclude it makes absolutely no sense roght out of the gate. Wouldn't mind discussing bc thats always fun, and good or bad I'm always going to love this film so theres some bias there, but I do think it could all still work with a little more thought and patience. Even so, multiverse stuff is always tricky so I don't doubt that there is a mess here and there.

A few additions I would include is that it’s established that dimensions without spidermen collapse, yet in the spider society city we see spidermen driving cars and working jobs meaning they are unable to protect their own dimensions.

You weren't paying attention to the movie and your not really thinking about it enough. First, not every event that is supposed to happen is a canon event. Canon events are events that tie the universe together, so if they don't happen the universe will be destroyed. Thats why miguel was able to live as an alternate version of himself for a period of time 1. Miguel is probably wrong, he is the villain. 2. Singh would have died anyways, because it was a canon event and he was meant to die. 3. It could just be an alternate version of Donald Glover's prowler, they never said its the exact one from the mcu 4. They didn't say he needs to be crushed, Peter was the kid in amazing spiderman 1 that Captain stacy saved 5. They were setting up Miles's character and relationships, the plot isn't the only thing in a story 6. Your saying that If something didn't happen, then something else wouldn't happen. Thats not a complaint, thats just stating how the plot of a movie works. 7. Miguel is wrong, he hasn't been to every universe with spiderman, the next movie is beyond the spiderverse, so they will probably visit other universes that Miguel couldn't access where the police captain doesn't die 8. Captain Stacy probably died after spiderman 3 in a similar manner, the footage was just easter eggs. Tom Holland's captain stacy will probably die at some point as well. 9. There are more than one canon events in every universes, and its not the same event for every universe even if it might be similar (like the police captain) 10. Time is fixed, and they showed that in loki and avengers endgame, there are multiple universes but each universe is set. Any scenario can exist, but Miguel hasn't been to all of the infinite universes. 11. Miguel obviously brainwashed or lied to the other spidermen and they accepted it because it made them feel better about their traumatic experiences. He probably kicked out and got rid of all the ones that disagreed with him. 12. Peter B Parker was convinced by Miguel because Miguel told him it was for the greater good and that if uncle ben lived billions more would have died. He doesn't realize that Miguel might be wrong until the end of the movie. 13. Miles's spider gave him more powers which is why he is stronger and his powers are all probably stronger. The other spidermen weren't trying their hardest to catch him except Miguel. They also didn't expect him to endanger the entire multiverse which is why he escaped when they were surrounding him. 14. Miguel was able to access other universes but he would glitch without the watch, the watch prevents him from glitching and makes the technology to travel between universes smaller. His universe is in the future so time probably works differently, so for him it was probably a lot longer than 16 months even though it was only 16 months in the other universes. He didn't realize it was destabilizing until after that post credit scene. (this is the only good point you had though) 15. Its not people who cross into the wrong universe who are anomalies, its people that change the events that would have happened and the people that are changed. 16. Miguel either is placing guilt on Miles because he is wrong, or ITSV happened before he took over the alternate version of himself. 17. No way home was after ITSV, Miguel references it like it just happened in ATSV. Also his universe was almost destroyed but since everyone forgot the peter was spiderman the canon events that were going to be prevented were prevented from being prevented which stabilized the universe. 18.Loki took place outside of time so the events are happening simultaneously when it comes to people inside of time. Also he didn't destabilize the multiverse, he just allowed it to exist. 19. The mcu isn't completely dead yet, and even if it is, these were just easter eggs, its not going to actually affect this movie. This isn't an actual complaint of the movie. 20. After he wiped out a universe, he started making sure that it doesn't happen to any other universe. 21. the other supercolliders were prevented by their spidermen, just like kingpin's was supposed to be in ITSV. There are other universes where it happened but they are probably beyond Miguel's reach and will probably be explored in beyond the spdierverse. 22. That canon event would have happened anyways. 23. Not all events are canon events Canon events are events that tie the universe together, so if they don't happen the universe will be destroyed. Stopping the supercollider was just an event that was supposed to happen, not a canon event. Thats why also why miguel was able to live as an alternate version of himself for a period of time but when he accidently and eventually disrupted a canon event his universe was destroyed. 24. Everything with miles wasn't a canon event, only certain things are canon events. All the canon events that had to do with Miles's peter probably already happened so none of them were broken. Miguel thinks his dad has to die but because miles is an anomaly his dad's death probably isn't a canon event. 25. Spiderman existing wasn't a canon event in earth 42, however, the police captain dying was which is why earth 42 captain morales still died even though miles didnt actually become spiderman in that universe. 26. The themes of the movie is about free will and what has to happen and restrictions, and acceptance. That is reflected in real life by people who tried to restrict miles and didn't accept him. It still works in the story even if you have no knowledge about the real life events which is why it being meta isn't a problem.

[@dylansharp8471]

[@benpeterson4673]

Here's the thing that fixes nearly every complaint you have with the movie. Miguel is wrong. Full stop. He's wrong. He thinks he knows that there are these things called canon events that have to happen or the universe gets wrecked, but there are literally only two data points that we have to draw on: Miguel's foster universe that he chose after he found an alternate family, and Mumbattan. The first we have no context for, and the second was just playing host to someone who's abilities involve breaking walls between dimensions. It's maybe implied that there have been more, but there's no other evidence for it. Miguel's only been at this for a year and a half, tops. He has a way that he thinks the world works, and it's one that he's convinced himself he has to follow to make the multiverse function as normal, but he's wrong. We actually see Gwen stop a canon event in her world too: when she convinces her father to stop being a captain, which means that a police captain "close to spider-man" would not die, because she probably wouldn't be that close to the next police captain. Your meta read is right: (11:50 in the video) "Any scenario can exist. Yes, there are some similarities, sure, but they aren't binding the fabric of the multiverse together." This is part of the point of the movie. The movie knows that. It tells you that before we see a single portal to another dimension, when Miles tells his councilor it's gross that he needs to have "a story" in order to get into college, and how she insists that their family are struggling immigrants when they are neither struggling nor immigrants. He also doesn't need "a story" to be Spider-Man. That is the message of the movie. (also, as a side note, we know that not all spider-people have had all their canon events happen yet, so that would be Miguel's explanation, which would be incorrect, for why Tom Holland's and Toby McGuire's Spider-Men haven't had their police captain moments yet.

As I've always said, this movie works great as a popcorn flick, just like the DC flash movie and MCU’s No way Home. You turn your brain off, suspend disbelief a little bit more than you would for other movies and don't think too much about it, but what you must never ever do is get swept away in emotion and spout stupid shit like saying the movie is a masterpiece or the best superhero movie, that just opens you up to criticism and ridicule. The concept of cannon events not being allowed to be altered in across the spider verse is ridiculous and only really works for non comic book fans and works on people that dont know shit about the lore, characters and the universe the characters come from. The movie works best for casual moviegoers that aren't too clued up on comic mythology and Spiderman in particular. In the comics, these movies are based on, characters change events all the time. characters make deals with powerful beings like spiderman having Mephisto re-write history so aunt May doesnt die in the one more day story arc. After the civil war saga Spiderman’s identity was known by all, putting his family at risk. He had things rewritten protecting his secret identity and bringing back his Aunt at the cost of his marriage and his unborn daughter which he would have had if his marriage to MJ was not undone. I just use that as an example because it’s actually spiderman related and don't get me started on how Miles Morales was brought over to the main earth 616 comic canon in the first place🤦‍♂️ The stupidest shit ever. Dude gave molecule man a stale cheese burger he had tucked away in his suit for weeks and Molecule man was so grateful for the burger that should have been considered an insult, that he moved Miles and his family and friends magically to the canon main Universe. As canon events go, you don't get more canon disrupting than uprooting a family from one universe and moving them to another. Where's Spiderman in 1610 now that Miles is in 616? Miles already replaced the Peter from the 1610 comic’s line. The whole concept of canon events being the main theme of these movies, well that's a thread the writers shouldn't have pulled at, it only exposes plot holes. Looking at the movie's plot holes, they become even more apparent when you know the characters beforehand. Forget for a second the 1 year old spiderman miles morales is able to outsmart and outmanoeuvre the entire society of spidermen/women, that's nearly every other spiderman/woman from every other comic book universe. Miguel O'hara wanted to subdue Miles, when he caught him, he puts his face close up to Miles and says shit out of spite, telling him he is the anomaly, well why didn't he just bite him? Problem solved. last I checked O’hara is the only spiderman with the ability to paralyse those he bites because of the different type of spider that bit him. The wolf spider if I'm not mistaken. They already showed that it is a thing he does in the movie when he was going to bite the vulture at the beginning. Well Miles is a lot tougher to subdue than the version of the vulture he was fighting.🤷‍♂️ But yeah!

On the subject of "canon events" I'm fine with it in concept, as it's a mix of fixed points in time and a "Constants&Variables" between universes. But they should have just sent Miles back, let him try, let him fail to save his dad if that's really meant to happen, after all Indian Spidermans anomaly only happened because of multiversal intervention, on his own things would have played out as canon dictates.

[@rayvonvelez3129]

Yeah this movie triggers me a lot, I'm like why would all these peter parker's agree with this random future spiderman? His comparison to what miles wants to do and what he did, makes no sense. Miles ain't going to another version of himselfs reality and steal their family. Miguel was very selfish at what he did, it was his fault what happened to that reality. But he wants to blame miles for everything. The thing that really pissed me off, is having spectacular Spider-Man my favorite version of Spidey, working with this clown. Spectacular Spider-Man would never agree with what Miguel wants to happen to miles, never. This version of Spiderman 2099 is very badly written. Atleast in video games version of 2099 he is actually a good guy so much that he wants to save the original Spiderman from dieing in Spiderman edge of time, this movie 2099 obviously wouldn't try to save peter but the game one would he does. That's the whole plot of the game, saving Spiderman from death. But movie 2099 is going around telling everyone that someone important to them will die and they should let them die cuz it is canon. No he shouldn't even be telling them that cuz whenever a character dies that is important to Spiderman they're never supposed to know this person is dieing wether it be uncle Ben or a police captain they're not supposed to know, that's why these Spidermen can never save them. But Miguel is over here spoiling it for them and making miles go against him. Here's the truth if Peter parker Spiderman knew uncle Ben was going to die he 100% would try to save him no matter what.

So correct me if I am wrong. Anomaly is a character that does not belong to s specific universe. Therefore, how can Miles be the original anomaly when Miguel broke the canon and officially became an anomaly first? Also the spider from earth 42 came into Mile's universe which in itself is an anomaly so shouldn't the canon be broken then and there and Mile's earth collapse as a result? I agree with you on this point there is no cohesion between the movies. Across the spiderverse feels like its own event.

[@hypnoticskull6342]

The canon events really are taken the wrong way by Miguel. He sees them as evil that has to be done to make a Spider-Man, because they only can be made by wanting to fix mistakes. That's not at all what it is. Peter would have never used his powers for good if Uncle Ben never told him the famous quote, he might've even become a villain. Miguel thinks about the Uncle Ben, but never the lesson. A Spider-Man could just stop one day and nothing would change, because being Spider-Man isn't a duty, it's a choice

[@JaimieSch]

Why am I not remotely shocked that this movie decided to attack fans who (rightly) don't see Miles as the real Spiderman? Their logic to justify their views just proves how fans, like myself, are right about this. They used the terrible "muh representation" argument to justify his existence, which is literally why people like me don't see him as Spiderman. Miles was created primarily to tick boxes, thereby implying that the real Spiderman isn't good enough due to his race, which is obviously really racist. The idea of Spiderman being for everyone meaning that he has to "represent" everyone, is just ridiculous. By that logic, every black superhero should also have a white alternate version, because there are white people who like that character too and should be "represented" by them. Somehow, I don't think they would be ok with their logic being applied the other way around. This is why derivative copy characters almost always suck, because just taking a character and arbitrarily changing their base characteristics, such as race, doesn't add anything of value to that character. It actually takes away from that character, by implying that anyone could be that hero and that the specific things that make that person a hero aren't important to that character. That hero is no longer a unique person, whose specific qualities caused them to become who they are, but instead merely a costume and power set, that can be adopted by anybody who vaguely meets the bill. It can be done well with good writing, such as with the Robin mantle being passed on when the previous Robin stops being Batman's sidekick and becomes their own independent hero, but it's very rare that this is the case. The irony is that the first movie actually made me like Miles more, by making him more of his own character and not just "Spiderman, but he's black". This movie recons him to be the whole reason Peter died in his universe and tries to turn him into "the most special Spiderman, who's the key to everything!". They wanted to elevate him above Peter, which I always respected the first movie for not really doing, and made turned Peter into a clown in the process. I think this pretty much undoes all the good will they earned from me from how they handled Mile in the first movie. They also demonised Spiderman 2099, who is probably the least derivative version of all the Spiderman clones, because he's much more of his own character, and not just a race swap, gender swap or some other arbitrary change. He is the Terry McGinnis to Peter's Bruce Wayne, who takes over as Spiderman in the far future, after Peter has died. That's already a lot better then just "What if somebody else was Spiderman in the present day, and did the exact same stuff as Peter would be doing, but their not a white guy!" Even so, he's still not the real Spiderman. Peter Parker will always be the real Spiderman.

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

I don't like Miles because originally he was just a race swap Peter parker. He now get shoved into where he is not needed Most of his fans only like him because he is a certain race and think it is the "right" thing to support because of his race I just don't enjoy him And I see they're slowly trying to wiggle up to making him into a MCU film character and if they could Marvel wants to ditch Peter for him.

[@skibot9974]

Anomaly this video is an example of being so focused on what was being SAID you neglected everything the film was communicating to you NON VERBALLY Canon events don’t exist or at least not in the way Miguel describes them. Miguel states that any deviation from the timeline will result in the universe collapsing and all denizens from it dying. Except the film provides us three instances that show is Miguel misunderstood the situation. Miguel states that Gwen’s canon event was that father getting killed. Yet when Gwen returns home at the end of the film we learn that Gwen’s been gone for three months and that her father quit the force meaning his “canon event” is invalid. As Miguel specified a POLICE OFFICER close to a Spider-Person must die I know what you’re thianking “the film never states WHEN Gwen’s father was supposed to die” and you’re correct which is why the film provides us with two BIGGER pieces of evidence of evidence that Miguel came to the wrong conclusion. Miguel rants to Miles that he’s the “originally anomaly” and he wasn’t supposed to be Spider-Man and that Blond Peter should’ve lived. But the film also states Miles has been Spider-Man for over a year, if canon events were truely threats to the universe wouldn’t Miles’ universe have been destroyed by now? Furthermore if Miles was never “meant” to be Spider-Man why does he even have a “canon event”? Finally the biggest piece of evidence that canon events are baloney (and the film is aware of this) Mayday. The fact it’s been long enough in Peter B’s dimension to rekindle his romance with MJ, get her pregnant and have a a kid a few months old (she can’t be newborn as otherwise MJ would’ve been on a maternity leave taking care of her) shows Miguel misunderstood the situation. Remember, Peter B. only gained the courage to go back to his MJ and want kids because of his adventure with Miles. If Miles is truley an anomaly than Mayday should be an even bigger one given she only exists because of experiences that occured in another dimension. Though you’re probably now wondering what caused the collapse of Miguels’ universe. I can’t say for sure but there’s multiple characters in the marvel universe that can destroy dimensions like The Time Variance Authority, Galactus or Unicron (the first piece of transformers media outside of the toys were comics by Marvel, with Spider-man guest starring in the third issue). Hell it could even have been spot as Gwen’s comment in the first film about “literally being knocked into the previous week” shows that different dimensions run on different time scales with some even able to take one back in time (keep in mind most of Gwen’s time running away was in non-Miles universes hence how Gwen could still be missing for months) While writers can forget the rules they established that often happens with sequels contradicting prior installments, I doubt any film maker would be inept enough to establish these kind of rules and present several pieces of eveidence in the same film disproving these rules. Also keep in mind this is only half a film, Across and Beyond originated as a single script and this film’s it’s first trailer even had part 1 in the title. Sony likley forced a title change out of fear of hurting the film’s box office after the dividing the book into two trend from the 2010s crashed an burned. I’d bet really money there will be a point where either Miguel realizes his hypothesis was wrong or somebody disproves the BS he spews. After all how hard would you scrutinize The Two Towers before Return of the King? This isn’t a case of a sequel being greenlit, this film is literally one half of a whole story and we just need to wait for the second half of the script. The story is incomplete in the most literal sense, and these complains are details the film WANTS you to notice like forshadowing in any novel.

Thank you for this video!! I’m so glad to finally see one actually criticizing this movie for its flaws and not just blindly praising it.

Spider-Man 2099 is my personal favorite, and they totally disrespected him. Spider-Man: Edge of Time did such a better job, but I guess that what happens when the creator, Peter David, is directly involved. Also, it was also a huge turn off that they pushed the whole Miles is the best Spider-Man thing. I didn’t even know that they had that agenda, but I definitely felt it. You don’t put that in the actual movie. That undermines everything. You’re letting haters affect your art, which by the way has a negative effect on the people who already don’t like/care for Miles.

The problem with these movies as well is that you cant just make the argument that they are some fun and silly movies and not take it seriously. They are literally claiming now that this whole spiderverse nonsense has ties to the MCU and literally every other ever known spiderman IP. This then mean it has ties to literally every other super hero in that existence in marvel, which those superheros have their own multiverse versions of themselves. This also then technically means that this spiderverse is not the only multiverse of heroes, there has so be multiple multi verses of other heroes and any other supposed "cannon" events and references in those universes. I mean where does it stop? Because technically many of these forms of heros and their stories reference comics and other super heroes like superman. So does D.C. exist within the multiverse too? Or is it just a comic. If thats the case, is superman just a comic or is he a real hero as well?Because if he is just a comic who is acted by someone does that mean actors who play these heroes are also cannon. Im going a bit off the rails but when you try to do this tie everything together it really just makes zero sense as they are not meant to be tied together.

Good video but I think I can explain a few points. If I remember right Miguel was telling miles he doesn’t know why the universe hasn’t broke yet but he can’t take a chance on it with miles breaking a canon event that big… for example in mombaton there was to much multiverse crap going on, 3 dislocated Spider-Men a super collider going off early, a multiversal hopping villain and then a canon event with miles breaking it saving the captain. Meanwhile let’s see the events of the first movie, a collider goes off, the variant Spider-Men get sent to 1610, a Spider-Man dies, (which is a canon event cause comic logic) a boy gets bit by a spider and has the origin story (canon) and they save the day with everyone being sent home. Miguel died in a different universe which is canon, has a daughter which again is canon, the problem was there was already a Spider-Man in that universe and he was in that universe too long which disrupted the canon. Miles is an anomaly yes but yet he’s staying true to canon… earth 42 is on the edge of breaking cause canon has been disrupted and there is no Spider-Man… I would also like to say the Spider-Men in the Spider-Society are in agreement with Miguel cause most are Peter’s who thing similarly… spectacular had to learn he couldn’t change the past and without those events he wouldn’t be the man he is today… he also understood seeing Stacy die that he can’t save everyone but to try your best… ps4 spidey same thing in giving the cure to everyone and letting May die… so Peter B saying what he said is on point whether if he likes it or not… movie is a 8/10 for sure and has plot holes all over but I think it fits did what they are going for…

I think that Miguel really has his "canon events" very wrong and I pray that this gets pointed out in Beyond the Spider-Verse. It removes all emotion from the loss of all the "Uncle Ben's" because its simply boiled down to "Oh well its a canon event so it was gonna happen anyway", and makes his loss have almost zero impact. Also, if Miles is not supposed to be Spider-Man because of him being the original anomaly and whatever as said by Miguel, then his canon events should either never happen because he "isnt supposed to be Spider-Man", or they should happen and he should be recognized as Spider-Man, since Miguel says that those canon events only happen to Spider-Man. This obviously makes no sense

@@Wendeta-hq2cpPretty sure Miguel is just full of shit. He labelled Miguel the original anomaly, and said he was part of canon. Then you have to factor in Spot

how do all the of spidermans have time to actually save their neighborhoods when theyre part of a multiversal society bent on making sure 9/11 happens (canon event).

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

Are we sure that it's the Canon that's breaking the multiverse and not the Incursions that happen when someone stays in a different universe for too long? That's what they established in the MCU, which is canon to ATS.

[@camerondalton1495]

That would be cool.

[@ngabel8956]

When Miguel calls Miles "the original anomaly" it's absolutely fair to assume that he's referring to the origin of this specific chain of events involving Spot and the India universe, rather than the first ever anomaly across the infinite multiverse, which is very obviously not true. It's just stupid that the writers cared more about the impact of their meta commentary BS than the clarity of their characters and plot. But to be really semantic, the "original anomaly" should be Spot activating the collider to bring the spider to this universe, since it predates Miles being bit. Also, when and how did Spot find this other spider?! Watching the original film, it seems the incident with Peter Parker is the first time the collider is used, since 1. Kingpin has yet to achieve his goal of bringing back his family. 2. There hasn't been prior earthquakes or glitches across the city. 3. Kingpin is doubtful Olivia even has the collider working. 4. The collider is operated by a team under the command of Kingpin. Unless Spot SOMEHOW activates the thing in secret by himself, why would Kingpin approve the collider be used to give a random scientist spider powers?

[@GeorgeOfGeorge]

Actually the collider was used one time before. At the beginning of the film while Miles is walking by his old school someone asks if Miles felt the earthquake last night. Harking to the fact the collider seemingly causes a earthquake everytime it’s used as people say the next time it happens. This refers to how Gwen also appeared in the universe before all the other Spider-Man. Granted, it’s a small line but it’s there to explain it

[@cheyblake2475]

I guess Miguel doesn't know that is was Spot that causing the problem?

[@benchristensen1526]

I also thought the canon event plot line was stupid. But since the villain was the source of the theory, I figured it was false. But it’s so frustrating to cause all this tension for the hero from this contrived nonsense. Miguel has to be proven wrong in part 3, right? The problem is a logical conversation between any of the spider people could have prevented all of the conflict. Also that dude getting hit by a bagel turned him into spot? I was not a fan of that villain either. This sequel was the biggest let down for me. The first movie was one of my favorite marvel movies despite my dislike for multiverse plot lines.

[@benchristensen1526]

Oh you say the same thing in your follow up video 😂

[@MegaDynamiteDan]

Yeah hate people finding the spot a good villain when he literally having one of the weakest backstories and even with his Darkness god mode I still find him a generic revenge man child throwing a tantrum

[@MegaDynamiteDan]

@@benchristensen1526 I find even Mr negative better than the spot-hole

[@cmasterson]

So the Police Captain was supposed to die who wasnt related to that Spiderman. But his uncle dying was not the person that is like his "Ben" dying. Miguel changed his story and prevents everyone else from doing anything like he has all the answers.
