Miguel’s power set basically has the idea of Spider-Man if he were more realistic and biology based. First Spider-Man to have organic webs (though they’re lasers in the movie), claws instead of magic stickiness, and a paralyzing venom bite. He doesn’t have Spider-Sense, but has enhanced senses.

The writing around Hobie is BRILLIANT. Before we meet him, since we're in Miles' POV we kinda just initially don't even like the guy, cause Miles sees him as competition for Gwen's affections. But in the span of FIVE MINUTES we are just like "There's no MAN, like Hobie MY GUY!" The Spider-Gang has natural chemistry and when Miles says "Right gang?" it doesn't feel corny or forced at all.

There was a big importance for notes from a hairstylist as well. The character was initially written as younger and a note was made not to make a Mowgli stereotype and he was aged-up for the movie. The team's Indian animators who each live in different parts of India emailed after the first design was internally released to them and they shared notes that Pav and his universe did not connect to their lives and they wanted to work on it. An all indian writers room was brought in for the movie after this and that whole section of Across the SpiderVerse was rewritten to have a better connection to Indian culture

I wouldn't say he slowly became a multiversal threat. We only became cognizant of what he was capable of given time to take his character serious. He was always a multiversal threat. He just didn't believe in himself, and didn't care enough to be one. It was only once he was further insulted, at the lowest point in his life, that he truly tried. I mean, come on, compare his first fight to his second fight. He went from barely managing one Spiderman to being capable of toying with four, just off of new knowledge and confidence.

If I had only seen the opening 20 minutes, it would _still_ be one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. This trilogy is raising the bar for animation to infinity.

[@navo159]

More fun facts: Hobie's animation was designed by the same guy who directed Castlevania Season 1, and did the Hades game trailer, animation for Boruto, and a lot of other absolutely massive titles (Spencer Wan). He used his own junk mail to do it. Spencer Wan also animated Gwen's swinging (he added illegal gymnastics moves to her swinging style), as well as the scene where Miles blasts Miguel off the train, all in 2D. He also did some passes on Pavitr's swinging styles.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

Spencer Wan's insight on Gwen using illegal gymnastics moves adds to the character in other unexpected ways: he justified that decision by pointing out Gwen wears pointe shoes as Spider-Woman even though she would've been too young to dance on pointe as a ballerina when she first got her powers. That indicates that she taught herself to dance on pointe, despite the health risks. So her using illegal gymnastics makes sense, because she's already done illegal things in another sport. It's character continuity via animation.

Don’t get me wrong it was great seeing Miles run from everyone but your forgetting Peter B Parker actually stopped chasing him with the crowd, split off on his own and caught Miles due to his tactics.

[@samings5553]

Miles being an anomaly is a lot more in keeping with themes and spirit as Spider-man as a character rather than Miguel's established destiny for all Spider people to follow. What made Peter Parker so relatable originally was that he had no heroic destiny like other marvel protagonists, he was a regular guy who got his powers by accident and had to figure out what to do with them on his own. The fact that Miles turns out to be random stroke of serendipity is what makes Miguel wrong when he says Miles isn't being Spider-man properly or that he shouldn't be Spider-man at all.

[@jaidenkoch3487]

I’m with Miguel because from his point of view if the cannon is disrupted, the universe gets deleted and doesn’t want the multiverse to get destroyed and miles can potentially destroy his universe just to save his father, but with what Gwen finds out with her father they might be able to find a way to not destroy the universe

Also just to clarify, he is not part vampire. That was just a joke they made in the movie becuse he has fangs which can secrete paralyzing venom.

Unfortunately, fans of the movie are only gonna remember him as the bad guy for the next decade. It’s a shame as he’s the first real successor to Peter in the comics, which has largely been supplanted by Miles.

[@dannybob42]

Knew you would like Pav, he's been around for a while debuted in like 2005, but it was like rare spinoffs, the movie made a lot of improved changes to his outfit. Spider-Punk debuted in 2015 but Hobie Brown was the name of the original Prowler. They animated Hobie at different framerates to his guitar too, and the cut-out style is fitting of punk rock album covers. As for Miguel, Spider-Man 2099, he's very very different from the comics, given how antagonistic they made him due to all the trauma and control freaking. In reality he's one of the more different spiders in origin - his DNA was mixed with a spider's giving him his powers; sensitive vision leading to red eyes, strength and heightened senses (but no spider-sense), talons and the fangs, which release a paralysing venom, not a vampire. Ben Reilly is also really different, part of the infamously overdrawn Clone Saga It surprises me how many people didn't know this was a 2-parter, they did say it in the original teaser, first it was gonna be called Across the Spider-Verse part 1 & 2, but then they changed it to Across the Spider-Verse and Beyond the Spider-Verse.

When Hobie says he hates the a.m. and the P.M, he’s respectively talking about the morning and the Prime Minister. Pavitr is officially one of the funniest Spider-Heroes ever. He has abundant youthful energy and a great sense of humor. Four facts about Pavitr: 1.) He wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider. Rather his powers are magic based. Perhaps it’s the bangles he uses for weapons. For all we know, they might function similar to the one we saw in Ms. Marvel. 2.) He fights using an Indian martial art called Kalaripayattu. A small animation team from Kerala, India was tasked to help animate Pavitr's movements. 3.) His Spidey mask has design inspirations from Theyyam, a Hindu ritual from Kerala. 4.) The head-writers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller invited Karan to the writers’ room to pitch in ideas for Pavitr. They were aiming for his character to be culturally specific. Malala Windsor, the British Spider-Woman with the hijab, is an original character created for this movie. This direct incarnation of Spider-UK was never introduced in the comics, but after this she might eventually get her own run. Malala was voiced by Sofia Barclay. She portrayed Dr. O’Sullivan in Ted Lasso. @39:27 There’s no confirmation that this is the same Prowler we met back in Spider-Man: Homecoming. For all we know, this might be a What If situation. In other words, he’s from an entirely separate dimension/timeline. Speaking of which, the canon events are absolute points like what we saw with Strange Supreme in What If season 1. The way I understand it, the Spider Society is pretty much a Spidey-themed TVA. A major difference is that they don’t prune dimensions. Rather, they try to save them from collapsing. Record producer Metro Boomin’ made a cameo as his own Spidersona when he apologized to the Society for saying there was nowhere to run. Metro (real name Leland Wayne) curated the soundtrack for this film. The deluxe edition has six bonus tracks aside from the main thirteen. That reminds me: Hummingbird, the song heard in the background when Miles is grounded, was co-written, co-produced, and performed by James Blake. He happens to be married to Jameela Jamil, the actress who portrayed She-Hulk’s rival Titania. Peter is a great mentor but also an irresponsible father for bringing Mayday to a steel mill with all kinds of equipment that can easily harm her. Although I did like that he acknowledged that Spider-Heroes are supposed to be funny. Miguel has the best of intentions with preventing the multiverse from collapsing, but I didn’t like that he called Miles a mistake and blamed him for everything that happened. Miles never asked to get bitten by a radioactive spider, but he’s doing his best and making the most of the situation. It’s weird but also cool that Earth-42’s version of J. Jonah Jameson and The Daily Bugle would actually support a Spider-Man rather than call him a menace all the time. Going into this, I knew we were gonna be left on a cliffhanger. This movie was originally a two-parter. They ended up renaming the third movie Beyond the Spider-Verse, but the concept remains the same. And finally, Amandla Stenberg (the voice of Margo Kess/Spider-Byte) is gonna be the lead actress in the upcoming Star Wars show The Acolyte.

22:30 YES GWEN YES!! THANK YOU! People who buy things to NOT use them annoy me so much! Toys are meant to be used!

[@bobertgallardo2029]

"If he's an ananomoly why does he have a cannon event.." Damn good observation! So he really shouldn't have powers thus he shouldn't be in the same thread of peter losing gwen/uncle Ben cannon event. Him changing his dad's fate shouldn't make his world implode. 😮😊 I bet that will come to fruition in the next chapter!

[@xXHavocGamerXx]

This is what I’ve been thinking for awhile cuz he already had his loss being uncle aaron

[@ZantiDC]

the fact that univers 42 Miles accent is more spanish because his dad died and he lives only with his mom is such an amazing detail

[@PixelDoodles]

Did the video sound cut out near the end of the movie for anyone else

[@bakagakure6435]

Yeah

[@christianpablo8384]

must be avoiding copyright. So sad I wanted to hear commentary on that part

[@sphinxwidget]

Oh! You guys looking up the moment in the last movie where Peter talks about throwing the bagel... I didn't notice until now that when the animation, etc goes all paneled to look like a comic book, Spot is actually in one of the panels!

[@kbob9625]

And they say inclusion doesnt matter. It was incredibly fun watching them react to Pavitr Prabhaka.

[@TranquilAshes]

LOVED YOUR REACTION and seeing Indian representation and it being enjoyed by the audience it was meant for! Note: at 1:08:18 We did see Tom Holland's Spider-Man, because we saw the prowler a.k.a. Childish Gambino aa the Prowler. That is his universe, we just didn't see Tom. Also, they referenced "No Way Home" in the opening scene when Miguel said "an Don't get me started on doctor strange and that nerd from Earth 199999“

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

This movie was awesome especially with all the cameos!

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I knew he was in the wrong universe because the numbers didn't match. I really thought the collectible would be a big thing zoomed in on as a clue as a callback to earlier. Having it NOT be open.

[@Gestrid]

There are other things that don't add up about that scene, too. For example, Rio's eyes are green instead of brown. She mentions that he changed his hair, too. And it's raining outside the window in one universe but not in the other.

[@tmm4195]

@@Gestrid Dude I realized these things (especially Rio's eyes being a different color) but I was so into the movie and the suspense of that scene that I kind of ignored it. Like it was in the back of my head, but I was too into it to put it together lol

[@Gestrid]

@@tmm4195 I was too into the movie to notice it at all. I found out afterwards.

[@Otisboy121]

@@Gestrid and also Rio asked if Miles being spider-man was just a dress up/cosplay thing he was going to do at Comic Con/ “Comics-Con” when Miles just replies “He doesn’t know what that is” because when Peter B. Mentions it in Into the spider-verse, miles also asks what’s comic con, because and means that in Miles’ world Earth-1610, Comic-Con doesn’t exist there!

[@Gukkiegalaxy]

i was literally so excited to see navi and suraj's reaction to pavitr :D

[@JMac7395]

I feel that both Miguel & Spot are bending the truth to suit their individual narratives. I suspect Miguel is omitting key information from all the Spiders. The more he talks, the less sense he makes. As for Spot, he needs to take some accountability for why he's the way he is. Why was he still in the screening area during explosion? All of the other scientists & King Pin had left the screening area once the realities started fracturing, long before the explosion.

[@theprideling]

Yeah notice how even though he was in the wrong dimension he didn’t glitch… it was everything else that glitched. But Miles is IN his own dimension. Like Raj said, if he’s an anomaly how come he has to have a canon event? And also Pav’s supposed “canon event” was only happening BECAUSE of an anomaly?

[@GelatoGambino]

I love how this movie basically confirmed every single Spider-Man ever created to be canon

[@j.jaylee.h]

I love how excited everyone was to see Spiderman India 🥰🥰🥰

[@williamhu6941]

Seeing this in theatres on the opening weekend in IMAX is still an unforgettable experience I’ve had. There are some Easter eggs in the movie like the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 game, and a newspaper article on Chloe Bennet’s character Daisy Johnson aka Quake on the front page. And the Earth-199999 was directly referenced the events in Spider-Man No Way Home that focused on the multiverse conflict involving on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in the MCU. Fun fact about the character Spider-Man India, he got his powers through magic instead of a spider bite, and the Mary Janes are actually a band in the Spider-Gwen comics.

[@scruffd0g193]

Agree 100000% seeing this movie in IMAX, my goodness. All time great animated movie

[@kijanajenkins2546]

IMAX is a way of life.

[@LilGamez21]

I remember being in the theaters with my cousin watching this and that end credit sequence along with the song playing was beautifully done on the big screen.

[@Hauns91]

Last 30 minutes of this movie is probably some of the best I've seen this year. So fucking good, intense, suspenseful and a great cliffhanger. I don't get how I hear so many people it's stupid when it ended...like that made the ending so much better and more exciting. When they did that I got goosebumps. I was like FUCK YES.

[@Otisboy121]

Like Back to the Future 2

[@BeAuTyLoVe17]

Been waiting for this and you guys didn't disappoint! I love your reactions to things, it was fun seeing you get so hyped about Mumbatten and Pavitr

[@Narutoanime16g]

This was visually amazing felt like an overload but they made it all make sense

[@bonaparte6431]

fun fact, the lego scenes in the film were animated by a 14-year-old Canadian boy named Preston Mutanga. He put together a lego version of the spiderverse trailer and the directors loved it so much they hired him. He would work on the scenes after school. What a legend!

[@Stuck-n-da-90s]

First Rana the red dress on you absolutely amazing. Second in the frame of the scientist pulling the spider from Earth 42. You can see that Earth's Miles with braids sitting in front of it taking notes. That spider was meant to bite Mile. It just bit the wrong one.

[@imamandre7805]

Having nothing else to watch and this vid up today thank you Lord

Just now realising that the music cut out at the party because they lost power from what the spot was doing!

Well it looks like Peni parker witness the third impact as canon event (Neon Genesis Evangelion reference)

[@encinoman376]

Im so happy Im not the only one who reacted the same way you guys reacted when Gwen opened that Collectible Miles had in his room😂 And Chris is like “Nerds”

[@crankfastleuwu]

I like how Miles' spider sense didn't work when the Prowler swooped in and punched him, because it was himself.

[@silversamurai1000]

Nice one. I didn't even notice that

[@cheekyboomboom8973]

34:47 It's hard to spot but there actually is a reference to Everything Everywhere All At Once in this. At one point there's a billboard with a bagel that says "All of It, Always, All Over The Place."

[@anothervagabond]

I find it kind of interesting how everybody just immediately accepts Miguel's interpretation of "canon events". Like he just *assumed* that the "canon event" thing is why the universe he jumped into was destroyed, but that makes no sense. If that universe's Miguel was dead, there wouldn't be any canon events there to be disrupted anymore. Also Pavitr didn't have an "Uncle Ben" event, so that's another argument against canon events. Personally I think Miguel was stricken with grief at what happened, saw that most Spider-People have similar things happen to them, and just invented an explanation to make himself feel better, to have a purpose. It's a coping mechanism, we have no reason whatsoever to assume that he actually has any idea what he's talking about. I don't know for sure what led to Miguel's second universe being destroyed, but I am sure it wasn't some nonsense about "canon events".

[@Otisboy121]

Exactly! And all I know is there’s more to this story, there has to be….

[@Diablo3364]

Possible incursion.

[@AzulApe]

Except we saw it happening in this film to Indian Spider-Man’s universe…lol

[@anothervagabond]

​@@AzulApe You mean the giant hole that just so happened to happen right when Spot fucked everything up? The one that we have absolutely no proof was actually caused by Miles at all, and would also be perfectly explained by the interdimensional villain having deliberately blowing up an interdimensional science machine just moments before? Yeah I'm sure the dimensional hole was caused by Miles, and not the guy whose whole thing is literally making dimensional holes.

[@AzulApe]

@@anothervagabond Spots holes dissipate on their own, but more importantly Spot wouldn’t exist without Miles distracting Spider-Man in the first film. You’re just unable to see past the protagonist. Risking the entire multiverse for one life is selfish, period. Also if the canon doesn’t matter, why did Miles lose his uncle right after becoming Spider-Man?

[@theeternalshade2981]

I love how, no matter how many reactions to this movie I see, the universal reaction at @22:30 is a collective scream. Every time. XD

[@dadatosu4702]

Each character was a masterpiece, this was an amazing job, the music, the whole playlist is our new addition, the effort they put on this movie was worth it, I felt for Pavitr personality ❤ and our coolest guy???? I hadn't idea I could have a crush at my age (29) 😂😂 spider punk had an amazing glow up here, his whole character is dope . The parents written were also beautiful, so emotional, Rio's speech, I would use it with my boys, it was deep and I felt every word, as a mom, I was crying at that scene, beautiful.

[@crustycrayfish8356]

"I was in the collider room when you blew it up!" "Why were you in there, that's on you" Primo logic there

[@tommy-_-2883]

I've seen this movie like 10 times and it's still AMAZING everytime

[@brandyanderson3522]

In Spot's flashback you actually see the spider making it's way towards Earth 42 Miles. Also there is a hint in the first movie that Miles would become his dimension Prowler when he meets Spider-man (RIP). When they "spider sense" each other, Miles's starts off green and purple (Prowler's colors) and Peter's are red and blue (Spiderman's colors) and then Miles's changes to red and blue. It does make sense, with his relationships to his uncle and father, not to mention trying to get kicked out of Vision Academy

[@BlackWizardmlbb]

I love how you guys laughed at spot at first but got silent when he absorbed the super collider goosebumps 😨😨

[@jeffhappens1]

Couldn’t they have muted the movie and let their commentary have sound at 59:00? Still wanted to hear their reactions

[@Sassaparilla]

No, that would require reuploading the entire video. As the youtube video, you can only mute an entire segment, not just one audio channel, if it is already uploaded.

[@rosejohnson1185]

[@Samgreen90]

(At 39:33) You want to know the sad part is? Before Aaron Davis, Hobart "Hobie" Brown was The 1st The Prowler in Earth-616. But then he started trying to turn his life around after he confronted Spider-Man. Currently going by "The Hornet" THIS Hobie Brown… is from Earth-138. 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?

[@LuckyStar1Fan]

Glad I can understand everything that Hobie is saying now lmao

The end credits of this have the same effect the black panther end credits did. Great soundtrack and visuals!!! 😩

If I had a nickel for every antagonist in a multiverse movie that was heavily affected by a bagel, I’d have two, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Spiderman 2099 is a pretty damn good read and the Gwen Stacy Spider Gwen series is great too and shots in this movie lifted right from the comic , and if I’m missing a lot apologies to everyone 🙏

[@capri31x]

“I think its a Banksy” is Post Malone’s cameo to the movie. He was the producer and singer that made rhe hit song ‘Sunflower’ in the first movie… they added it to pay tribute to the first chapter of the story. Just like how Across the Spiderverse made a cameo for the music producer who made the album of this movie. Metro Booming is the voice of Metro Spider… the spider who said “Well… there’s no where to run… My bad everybody, there was somewhere to run…”
