Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse [June 2nd 2023]

[-DMP-]

just left the movie.

Ending had me sick

To be fair and clear, @Uchiha God original statement was Across the Spider-Verse was one of his favorite movies of all time.

It's a false equivalency comparing (and dismissing) someone's ranking of a movie as their personal favorite to some broad declaring a movie is objectively the best movie of all time.

Penny Hardaway is my favorite NBA player of all time and 25 years later that hasn't changed... but that's not the same as saying Penny is objectively better than Jordan, Kareem, or Lebron.

I understand that distinction but what @Ziggiy and I were directly responding to was the assertion that a movie was the best of all time across the genres. I appreciate you emphasizing the original content for clarity but it had already branched off into another tangent.

I can't speak to @Neo The Resurrected ONE intentions.

No prob, i'm in agreement then; just wanted to make sure the tangent was decoupled from what originally prompted it.

such a respectful exchange. refreshing

Some of the audience that I was in the theater with got so heated about the ending, I wasn't bothered by it, because I knew there was going to be another one next year and it ended in a way that a comic book does which was cool. Honestly, if they stick the landing with ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ it will be the greatest CBM trilogy of all time by a large margin for me.

Ending didn’t bother me at all. It was already a long ass movie with a ton of things already had happened. Looking forward to the next one but I gotta digest everything in this one first.

Right, and there’s no other Miles Spiderman but there are thousands of Peter Parker Spiderman. Which leads me to believe all multiverse Miles are destined to be the Prowler and this Miles is the anomaly that Miguel thinks brings down the whole house.

There’s no other Miguels either tho.

 

[Spence]

There’s no other Miguels either tho.

Yeah there was, he supplanted the dead Miguel in the universe where his family was living without him and he jumped in there to apparently “accidentally” erase that universe.

was that Miguel Spider-Man tho? I don't remember if they mentioned it or not.

We've only seen what 2099 has wanted to show us. Ol lying unreliable narrator ass

 

[Kenny West]

Miles is a household name now and the studios are gonna want to capitalize on that once this trilogy is over.

Honestly, why not at this point. We’ve already been through countless adaptations for Pete.

I hate how the natural reaction to fresh good content is to milk it dry until everyone is tired of it

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

It's hard to believe that the studio that brought us Into the Spider-verse & Across the Spider-verse is also responsible for The Emoji Movie.

It’s amazing what iconic IP can do for you

 

[Spence]

was that Miguel Spider-Man tho? I don't remember if they mentioned it or not.

From his point of view….yeah. We don’t know if the Miguel killed in the universe he occupied was supposed to be a Spider-Man, he was gunned down in street clothes.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

it would also suck if they have one of the best black superheroes in the last 20 years chasing bussy on the big screen like that

when the Spot was giving his backstory in the start - we see the radioactive spider from earth 42 - still on earth 42 - and it was lurking around Miles

this was before it jumped to our Miles's universe. Now, one could argue that was just for dramatic effect or that it was going to ignore Miles - but seeing how deliberate this movie and it's predecessor have been with all their frames - I think the most likely explanation is that the spider was going to bite earth 42 Miles, thus he was going to be Spidey anyway. Not an anomaly. As previously stated - do not take Miguel at his word.

Miguel didnt say that no Miles was supposed to be Spiderman though, he said that OUR Miles wasnt supposed to be so there is still merit in his statement. Our Miles turned into Spiderman when he was likely supposed to become the Prowler. Prowler Miles was supposed to be the one that was Spiderman but had that chance taken by our Miles. Thatll probably be part of their battle. He'll blame Miles for his dad dying and not having the power to save him cause Miles had it. Then itll come to head when they team up cause Miguel gonna be on that "He was supposed to die" steez. Nice find though cause I missed these frames.

Well, I was replying to your “not just our miles, ANY miles” assertion. Those frames indicate that isn’t necessarily the case.

For what is worth, I’d rather if Miles wasn’t meant to be Spider-Man. I’ve never been a fan of “child of prophecy”/“it was written”/“it’s Destiny” type heroes. I’ve always been partial to people that choose to be heroes and not because it was predetermined for them to be so.

The whole “canon events” ideology the other spider people have embraced is in direct contradiction with who they’re supposed to be - and Miles already touched on this when he told Miguel he doesn’t have to choose between saving one person or a thousand - he’ll save them all because that’s what spider-man is supposed to be. This was further reinforced and foreshadowed with the “I beat them all” line.

So dope to me to have an animated movie that demands to be seen on the big screen.
