In one of the special features on the Spawn movie DVD, Todd McFarlane talks about he wanted to do a Spider-Man story where Spidey stops a mugging, the guy getting mugged calls the mugger a racial slur, and then Spidey picks up the muggy by the collar and asks "What color do you think I am under this mask?"
"Anyone can be Spider-Man" Here is the subtext of the movie's most quoted line, Anyone can be (a fan) of Spider-Man. The thrust of the narrative is that a lot of new people are coming into the superhero genre and it is up to those who have been in the genre for a while (old Peter) to let the new fans (Miles) know what they are in for. While at the same time looking at all the cool stuff Miles can do, new suit and new powers, and realizing how cool they are and what they add to the story.
This movie did three things for me. I cared about Miles who I've never really cared for as a character. I liked Spider-Ham who I thought was stupid till they made him in Tex Avery style. And I finally believed that this movie Peter Parker was the one from the comics. None of the live action Peters were "Peter".
8:36 “for a generation who grew up with the DCAU, John Stewart was the Green Lantern” Pretty much me, because even at the time I was only peripherally aware of Hal Jordon, thus didn’t understand why they went with that iteration instead of the Stewart one.
Same, when I was watching JL I never even heard of Hal Jordan of the GLs. John Stewart was my first GL. Wasn’t until later when I discovered Hal and the rest.
I read DC on and off since i was a kid and watched the Superman TAS where they brought in Kyle Rayner and even to me John Stewart is Green lantern. Hal was the crazy one who drank the Yellow Koolaid and died a supervillain after murdering most of the Corp. Sure he redeemed himself but even the comics at the time of DCAU pushed Kyle and Jon more then Old man Hal Jordan, mostly because He was boring as hell which lead to them deciding to turn him evil to shake things up.
Rawbeard Yep as Linkara outlined, while frustrating that Miles made the deal and that Mephisto is yet again tickling his Spider-Fetish, the circumstances, reason and consequences of Miles’ deal are much more coherent and understanding from Peter’s.
which is why i love spider-girl mayday parker the daughter of peter parker and mary jane because her story is a great coming of age story yes but has her father peter parker and his wife mary jane grow together and be great parents and to their daughter mayday parker and her brother benjy which was fantastic and tons of fun.
@@ranwolf1240 You mean the story that erased Peter and Mary's marriage had nothing to do with their daughter? I did not mean literally, btw, it just destroyed any and all chances of Mayday to ever be canon.
It's worth pointing out that, like Miles, Mayday was the standout character of an attempt at a reboot (of the 20 years later sequel sort) of the Marvel universe. Her book lasted years after the project as a whole shut down. I assume Mayday didn't make the cut for _Into the Spider Verse_ because she was thought too similar to Gwen. His cameoness Miguel O'Hara's book was, IIRC, the longest lasting of the _2099_ books, too.
Your background videos are the things I always look forward to the most. It's really that effort that distinguishes your from the vast, vast majority of "reviewers" on the internet.
Always loved the little anime cameos in Peni Parker's world in the comics. Most notably her mech looking like an EVA, to the little Tonari no Totoro stickers she'd attached to it. Helped give her and her universe a bit of character in a subtle way.
Isn't that... also Mashu Kyrielight from the Fate Franchise, wherin she's a test tube baby designed to be, and eventually is fused with the spirit of the Arthurian Knight Galahad before the jackass bails on her, resulting in her replicating the powers he gave her with a exosuit type armor?
I will never not get a kick out of the fact that Kennedy fired Lord and Miller from Solo and replace them with Ron Howard, only for that movie to bomb and be met with mediocre feedback from fans and is just unimpressive all around, while this one is met with critical acclaim, adored by fans, was financial success and is just a great time and a love letter to Spider-Man. Karma.
Huzzah, he's taking a look at this masterpiece! Speaking of alternate universes, I'd love to see his take on Re:CREATORS, a Japanese series about fictional characters from games, movies and books brought into the real world and who go looking for their creators. Great show with a neat look at the relationship between creator, creation, and audience.
Y’know it’s April Fools already in my timezone as of this comment, so when I saw this notification I didn’t want to believe it at first. Was ecstatic to see that it isn’t a joke, and despite all this chaos going on and your own troubles, you pulled through with this. While for me this isn’t among my top 10 films of all time, it is definitely in the number 11 spot. I freaking love this movie. I read the original comic event, was going to give it a chance when it was first announced as a film, and walked out of it more than satisfied. I was ecstatic that a lot of its characters, previously comic exclusives, are now household names, cheered when it beat Disney at the Oscars, and am beyond hyped for the sequel. IMO, easily the best Spider-Film of them all. Any and all of those adjectives from the comics that are attached to Spider-Man: Amazing, Spectacular, Sensational, Superior, Ultimate, and plenty of others I am missing, they all apply to this movie and more. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is phenomenal.
Good Job dear sir and I hope you’re well mentally and physically. One Problem: Supaidaman’s Mech. It’s not Gundam Sized. ITS MEGAZORD SIZED. In fact it’s the reason why we have Megazord’s in Super Sentai and Power Rangers.
On the one hand, I had no idea that folks accused the Green Lantern movie of being racist. On the other hand, I can understand why John Stewart would be folks favorite Green Lantern even if they did know about Hal beforehand. On the other other hand, I’m kind of glad John didn’t get associated with that mess regardless.
Some people also accused MLP of being racist because of Luna (when in this show there is a Zebra). That is simply similar case. I also prefer John Stewart, but both of them are Green Lantern and there is no reason to not have them both. I still hate when movies pretend that there were no five Robins, even if using Dick make no sense.
Peni sounded very anime since Way very much ripped of NGE. Sure the comic Sp//dr is as big as an EVA Unit, very much looked like one. That is even more explicit with Addy Brock and Ven#m robot. Pretty much neither Peni nor Noir are much like their comic counterpart.
16:00 : Wow! I never read this storyline, but I didn't know they did that deep of a dive (aside from the Japanese Spider-Man that everyone knows about). So the Marvel Comic Universe is kind of like Rick and Morty, in that EVERY version of a character that has ever appeared, anywhere, exists in his own universe ^_^
Nice, wish I could say the same for my father. I tried showing the film to him and he was just confused, asking what was the point of this when there are already live-action Spider-Films, what’s the point of Miles when there’s already Peter, and why there are other Spider-Characters when the movie and character is called Spider-MAN. Aaaand this is why I’m alone in my family with no one I can share my passion with.
7:17 making him wonder then if he could have tip the balance in peters finnaly battle Expect that you know Peter came back almost right away and was a massive tool. So did the green goblin, that mother fucker was like a cockroach
Look I'm sorry for this, I really am. But the assassin Spider-man version from that even was from a What If. So sorry. But god I needed to get that out.
There is a theory that hobo Spider-Man is one from comic (who definitely wasn't Mary Sue) and one who died was Sam Raimi Spider-Man, as biological powers were unique to those movies.
I'm still convinced Spiderman Homecoming was written for Miles, but someone at Marvel put their foot down and demanded the use of Peter. Thanks for all you do man.
This conspiracy theory make no sense. Yes, MCU Peter Parker was clearly based on Miles, but there are far simpler explanations for that. Like for example they did try get back Miles but Sony agree on Peter or simply they didn't wany rehash stuff from older movies. In the end it isn't really that big deal. It is a multiverse after all.
@@TheRezro Never said it was a big deal, or even bad. I'm just not convinced Sony went with Peter instead of Miles particularly happily or to be considerate to people that didn't know who Miles was. I have no proof, but there is enough on public record of how important inclusivity is to people at Sony, so I'm more inclined to think it was a sticking point (pun intended) for the Marvel half of that partnership either being the ones concerned, or preferring the MCU version of their flagship character be that character, not one of the family. Someday a tell all book will prove me right or wrong.
@@chrisw207 But you make one transparent mistake here. When Sony actually cared about consistency with comic? Whole biologic angle from Reimi movie is actually not from there. If you want proper improved adaptation for this character look no further then to Insomniac Spider-Man game. Cinematic licence owners usually struggle with other versions of characters (Titans TV series was probably first what have two from five Robins), when MCU is famous exactly because despite some differences, they bring new ideas and characters on the table. Far more probable is that no one in Sony actually know what to do until people from Marvel help them, so they pick random ideas they have at hand (and Spider-Verse was produced around same time). In long run it doesn't actually matter. Peter has deeper story then people think. Like he was dating Betty Brant and has relations with Liz Allen, before even Gwen Stacey. So what currently happen in the story isn't actually that far from sources. Only Ned Leeds characters could be somewhat inspired by Miles best friend. But I presume you agree that he is more then that one relation. Far more interesting is theory that MCU Flash Thompson is actually Harry Osborn.
Fun fact: while the Marvel wiki dances around a lot of the other deaths (oh it's not actually newspaper Spider-Man, it's a *version* of them from some made up universe designation) Hostess Spider-Man was, at least last I looked, documented as very specifically being the one from the Hostess ads. Fans really wanted that one specifically to be dead.
Me, after seeing this with my boyfriend: "Oh cool, they finally remembered that superheroes are supposed to be fun escapism, not grimderp like DCCU or MCU. I knew I used to like superheroes and stuff like Justice League Unlimited for a reason!"
I honestly didn't like how schizophrenic some of the movements & the flashiness were. I also didn't like the double image throughout. It's a shame, 'cause I liked Miles & his story, really all the spider family's stories.
there's a difference: the other members of the bat family are not replacing bruce wayne/batman. the problem with miles is he's not spiderman, he's not peter parker, peter parker is spiderman, for the same reason clark kent is superman. those superheroes are not like a suit anybody can wear, they are specific persons.
With the possible exception of 90s Clone Saga and Superior Spider-Man Doc Ock, I can’t think of any of the other Spider-Characters that replace Peter Parker. And even then thanks to multiverse shenanigans, all these other Spider-Characters don’t replace 616 Peter Parker. Then again to be fair, DC has been doing the legacy hero stuff for decades now compared to Marvel.
This movie is really good. But somebody needs to be punched in the face for that stupid decision to remove every second frame for most of the movie. It's not only stupid and ugly, IT HURTS VIEWERS EYES!
Peter Parker is the one and only for me. This Miles Morales kid? I could not care less about him. Have him make a deal with the Devil to undo the Universe!
