Into the Spider-Verse: Miles Morales - Therapist Reacts! 

I think my favorite little detail of the movie is how the glass still sticks to his hands and breaks when Miles does his leap of faith. It shows that he is absolutely not relaxed at that moment. He's still terrified and doesn't think he's ready, but he takes the leap of faith anyway.

Miles Morales really established himself as the current generation’s version of relatable developing teenage characters along with my own Generation’s Terry McGinnis and Virgil Hawkins, and they each do so without being a cookie cutter of each other or any individual archetype.

They did so well with Miles. A lot of kids will grow up thinking that Spider-Man is Miles instead of Peter Parker and I’m 100% ok with that.

I can’t wait to see a Miguel O Hara, Noir, Spider Punk, And Peter B Parker analysis

I cried when Stan Lee passed away and again when I saw his scene in the theaters. I grew up reading Spider-Man and X-men comics in the 90s. Much of the theme of Spider-man was that anyone can be a hero. Stan’s stories in comics were always more memorable to me than any books I read in school. His passing felt like I lost a grandfather. RIP “Smiling” Stan Lee

I know this video isn't about the cinematography of this film, but a fun fact that I love in this is that the animators punctuated Miles's doubt/confidence in his abilities in that while he doubted himself, he was animated on the 2s (only changed 12 frames per second rather than the standard 24, making him a little more choppy), but in the moments when he found his stride - when swinging with Peter with the computer and then for the final act - he was animated in every frame.

First of all, you are rocking that Spider-hoodie. Secondly, that line Spider-Ham says, "The hardest thing about this job is... you can't always save everybody." Really chokes me up, even to this day. In every single superhero story, someone important to them that they couldn't save (like Uncle Ben, or Gwen Stacy in the spider-Man comics,) is a traumatizing memory that stays with them the most, their driving force to do their very best and try not to let anyone else die. But it's an impossible task, the cruel reality, and a rather mature theme that I'm glad they touched on.

Another great video! And damn... This video made me feel ashamed (wait, please read it all as I'm not trying to make you feel bad) that I forgot the movie's biggest lesson when I had seen it 4 times in theatres. "You won't know when you're ready, it's just a leap of faith." For so long, most of my life, I have let perfectionism and anxiety rule me, and the subsequent depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation it gave me only made me feel worse. I will never be "ready", it's just a leap of faith. Thank you for the reminder, Georgia. I hope you're well off screen and that you end each day with more lemonade than lemons that life has thrown at you.

I don’t know how I never even thought of you doing the spider-verse series but I LOVE it! I also am jealous of your outfit lol

Such an inspiration for moving forward… both you, Georgia, as well as Miles. You help a lot of us navigate this messy life. And the sheer amount citations from various different movies in this video was legit. That scene from Equilibrium with Sean Bean is one of my very favorite movie moments

Meeting Miles for the first time is amazing. I skip over the words/mumble the words I don’t remember in the song. I like that the gold streamers stayed from the old videos.

Georgia covering the best Spider-Man Movie is Simply Spectacular.

This movie came out at a perfect time in my life when I graduated from my associates heading towards University away from home. All it takes is a leap of faith you mean mess up you may fall but get back up no matter if it's quick or long and keep moving! This movie is a classic!

Love the way you got around the copyright issue with that song! A total Miles way to do things!! 🕷️

I love this movie and Miles so much, they did such an amazing job. Some details that I absolutely love about this movie and the What's Up Danger? scene are - the glass comes off the building he jumps from because he's terrified, and he was still stuck to the wall when he jumped. He was scared, but he took the leap of faith anyway. They understood the assignment, it's exactly what you were talking about! So gooooooddd- - for the rest of the movie, he's animated more choppy than everyone else at 12 frames per second, compared to the 24 frames per second that the movie is animated in, it makes him feel awkward and off. But the moment he takes the leap of faith, he's animated at the full 24 frames per second and is smooth as silk. SUCH a cool detail!! - Aunt May (honored to have accidentally named myself after her LOL) saying the webshooters 'fit *perfectly*', which reflects when Stan Lee said the suit always fits *eventually*. - When he's swinging through the city, we see parallels of the first time he tried and failed to be Spiderman (grabbing and vaulting off the flagpole like a gymnist vs falling on and bouncing off of the flag pole, the WOOOO text following him going up vs the text following him falling down, etc.) - In the script, it says "Miles walks to the edge of the roof, the wind buffeting ... and LEAPS! The camera is UPSIDE DOWN. Miles isn't falling through frame. He's RISING." LIKE THAT IS SO GOOD!!!! Whenever I think about doing something scary or fear is stopping me, the beat of What's Up Danger that you showed at 14:40 starts playing in my head. It's nice, and when I have the energy to do the thing, it helps. 5:24 this sentiment (which the way you talked about it made me tear up too don't worry lmao) is something that playing Elden Ring and Geometry Dash is teaching me too. That if you bash your skull into a wall enough times, it will eventually come down. If you keep on trying and trying just to improve, you'll get there eventually. And that making mistakes is an inevitable and productive part of the process of learning (failing a jump and learning the correct timing a bit better, dying to a super fast attack and noticing that a boss always does that attack after a specific other move, etc.). It's still hard for me not to have negative self-talk and I haven't fully absorbed that concept and applied it to my life in general yet, but its nice. Thank you for making this video, your insight into things is always so nice.

This time the thumbnail is screaming "How do you do fellow kids? 🤟" I'm sorry xD

I just learned that Miles’s leap of faith scene was completely different at an early stage, the first pitch was to Miles fail and crash. That would’ve completely break the feeling of growth and self-esteem and delete one of the best animation shot

It's like an amusement ride. You see something, and it terrifies you to even try. But you won't stop being afraid it until you get in line and go on it.

Oooo, the first movies cant wait for all the awesome videos to come this is a very good start 😊😊

my favorite thing about ItSV is how they animated Miles with less frames with respect to the other Spider people.. right up to the point where he believes in himself and joins them for the final fight. it's so subtle but your eyes can in fact catch the difference.

i did a big change on my life saying: Just a leap of faith. That’s why that movie will be always in my heart

His literal leap of faith near the end (what's up danger) gives me chills EVERY TIME

Great to see you take on the Spider-Verse. I hope you've got a video on Spider-Gwen coming, too. As someone who doesn't really read comics, I was vaguely aware that Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen were characters, but I didn't really know anything about them. Having seen these movies, I now consider them two of my favorite Marvel characters. (Or at least, their characterizations in these movies. I don't know whether they're as cool in the comics as they are in the movies.)

Can you do Nimona next?

Sucking at something is the first step towards being somewhat good at something

Yes!!! I love that you break down the psychology of these characters. This is the most fun psychology channel ever.

I remember working at Barnes and Noble and seeing the “Superheroes and Philosophy” books and thinking about how deep these stories are. Whether it’s Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, or even the Matrix, they all have a deeper psychology to them. This channel is reminding of that. Thank you!

00:13 Don’t worry about it, neither can Miles 😂

Aye glad to watch this after across really inspired from how hard they worked on this films. Nice breakdown. No expectations everyone!

cant wait for you to analyze Miles in the next movie. the struggle of feeling left out, the struggle to feel belong, and impostor syndrome. the second movie is so good.

Pls make a video for Gwen too 😶

Ha, Georgia! You were making the web shooter noise in the thumbnail = ) I can tell! I can relate to this on SO many levels! Thank-you! Too scared to act...broke the record for number of acting roles at my university. Uncertain of my creativity and talents sang in operas and produced commercials in a high pressure two day turnaround. And I know YOU know how to be a hero.

7:30 it remind me of this great peps talk from supergirl where she said this super inspiring thing about all of us being a hero

Yes! I’d love to see you do Across the Spiderverse. Miguel O Hara definitely needs some therapy!

Could you do a deep dive into YellowJackets? there are so much trauma and mental disorders to explore in every character in the show, a therapist explaining it would be very interesting

All the thisngs that she said just yes. also i love the dedication in the videos is just

The adaptive positivity was a nice touch.

i love ur videos sm i got so excited when i saw this on my recommended 😭😭

Great commentary I could have used this video back when I was 15 years old.

miles: doesn’t know the lyrics because he’s just like us! Also miles: no social anxiety Just like no one ever 😂

Hello Georgia! I've been meaning to ask if you ever made a video covering ADD. As someone who is 99% sure he has it (still need to go to a psychiatrist) are there any ways of finding motivation and/or focus in things that I dont't find interesting. Ie. studying for a retake of a college exam that is in 1-2 months

I learn a lot about myself watching you talk about the characters I gravitate towards. I watched Arcane to watch your videos on it. Thank you. Ever consider "Doom Patrol?" Probably 40,000 videos you could make outta that one. Thanks for what you do. :)

After so many years of superhero movies being visually tedious and obnoxiously literal, it was remarkable to see something like this come along, slap the executive belief that people aren't interested in visual metaphor and sheer filmmaking for its own sake out of everyone's mouth, and remind everyone what film can do as a storytelling medium

Can’t wait for the Across the Spiderverse Gwen video. She is, to me, by far the most interesting character in the Spiderverse movies.

Thank you soo much for doing this video!!!!! I cant wait for gwens overall analysis im so excited also im such a big fan of your content thank you so much for everything you do!!!

was anyone else waiting for Georgia to go "Okay let's do this one more time, My name is Georgia Dow and for the last two years I have been a Therapist RU-vidr... you know the rest!" once again, a amazing analysis and itching to see what your thoughts are on Across the Spider-verse!

I LOVE MILESSS

Are you gonna cover Miguel I feel Like he has some deep Issues maybe unsure in life

Yes yes and yes Miles Morales is one of my favorite Spider Men ! This video analysis of him puts the biggest smile on my face. By the way amazing Miles Morales cosplay.

Your videos are so wonderful and very comfy. Thank you.

I hope you’ll cover Gwen’s psychological issues when Across the Spiderverse comes out.

Miles is the exact opposite of me. I would have been mortified if my dad did that.

I needed to see this today after failing epically yesterday and being unable to get out of my head about it.

I was waiting for this video XD

I e thing I like but I never see anyone talk about is when Miles jumps off the building he takes some of the glass with him. Not because of the force of the jump but because he is still sticking to it out of fear. Yet he still jumps. He HAD to put himself in that situation.

This is great! 14:24 is speaking to me directly because I am a martial artist and I went to one competition already on a whim with a leap of faith. Now I’m preparing myself for it but still taking a leap of faith.

I need to see the across the spider verse analogy

Here’s to hoping we’ll see a video on the greatest character ever, The Spot

I think it would be really cool if you did one on Underverse! Which is a popular animation series on RU-vid ;0

Oh I'm so happy you are doing this!!!

Thought this was Courtney from Smosh for a second.

Can’t wait for spider Gwen analysis

I do miss every shot I do take and even if I dont I know I would miss especially with how many shots I have taken i can tell and even if I did any of the positive things, It never works for one way or another, sometimes the world just picks domeone to sh*t on constantly, anything I aim for faild

Another amazing video! Cant wait to see how you do the Spider Gwen cosplay

i love this but when are you going to do 'nimona'?

Love this movie, this character! Can't wait to see you do some analysis on the characters in Across the Universe, esp Gwen.

Is it possible you could do an analysis on Guts from the anime Berserk? The 1997 version though. His character is way more fleshed out in that version of the story 😅

YESSSSS

You are really thorough and detailed. Appreciate you! ♥️

Seriously, should I ever require a therapist, I know who I'll go to first.

Georgia, how do you effortlessly analyze these films and these characters?

Nice video it was usually, I hope you talk about Gwen's character in the next video.

Thank you

i've been going through a hard time lately and what you say here 9:02 really helps. it's almost like your saying it for me ; - ;

You should do the characters from Nimona

I just wanna know where you got that jacket it looks great, and is it good quality like would you use it as a normal jacket on a daily basis?

Hope she does another one on Miles, there's a lot of material here, way too much for one video.

Nimona on Netflix

I want to see Gwen and Miguel O Hara!!

😍👩‍⚕️

Awesome video. If you're taking suggestions, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Peter B Parker.

I need a spider Punk Analysis

There are a lot of great things here. Two of my kids (ages 11 and 8) walked in and I was glad glad that they were able to hear this great message. My wife and I work hard to make a safe place for our kids, and to show that failure happens and is ok. We will often share our own experiences and failures with them to help them see it as natural and overcome able. Also, two questions. 1) When making a video do you A) have an idea for a topic and then find a movie to illustrate it. B) Watch something and get a topic idea from it? C) Have a fun custume that you want an excuse to use? 2) You mentioned Equilibrium! It's one of my all-time favorite movies. I would love to hear your thoughts on emotions (or any of the other cool topics in it) from it.

I want to see you analyze Gwen Stacy and maybe Himiko Toga from mha ( hopefully the manga updates too)

Can you do across the spiderverse😁😁😁

yo, can you review the matrix? lol

You should do a video on Netflix lucifer show.

I did like the cosplay but was disappointed by the lack of spiders.

Yo you should do a Gwen one because they decided to give her some trauma

OMG I love your outfit. Where'd you get it?

LETS GO! SPIDERMAN PSYCHOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*thwip*

You're so cutes 🥰💜

Lol, I do think it would be funny if when you cosplay male characters that those vids be sponsored by manscaped.

Nope lol

There's a lot to enjoy in your insights, but it's very annoying that you kowtow to the socialists periodically with your language. In this episode, the concern about being politically correct (which comes from the Maoists) was offensive and gross.

You probably get this a lot but you gotta be the most adorable RU-vid therapist. Good look on the outfit. ❤

❤❤❤😊
