*SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE* surprised me! 

The animators purposefully gave Miles a bit of a hitch to his frame rate as he was learning his powers. Later, they made his animations smooth in real time to show how far he's come. So cool!

"The hardest thing about this job is...you can't always save everybody." The fact that SPIDER PIG of all people said one of the most devastating lines in the movie absolutely floors me.

The part where he finally does his leap of faith, the script says "Miles LEAPS! The camera is upside down. Miles isn't falling, he's rising." So damn good.

One of my favorite parts is the little character notes. "Do any of your friends ever call you Doc Ock?" "My friends call me Liv..." then when the villains attack Aunt May's house, May says, "Oh Great, it's Liv!" Mind you in the comics Otto Octavius actually dated Aunt May for a little while. So May and Liv being friends temporarily is a nice touch. Unless they also dated.

Best Spider-Man movie ever? Yes One of the best superhero movies ever? Yes One of the best animated movies ever? Yes One of the best movies ever made? Possibly

“I’m going to miss him. We were friends ya know. It always fits…eventually.” - Stan Lee This cameo hit different since the movie came out after Stan passed away.

“I hope he doesn’t have to lose a loved one” “Why does an uncle always have to die???” Good news, you’re gonna really love the second movie!

"Why am I so emotional invested in all these charcters?!" That is a mark of really good developing! ;) This movie is just simply amazing, I just love everything about it!

Natalie: I don’t really know if I need a spider-man origin story again… Movie: throws a bunch of spider-man origin stories :))

The 'leap of faith' sequence is one of the greatest scenes in a movie ever, animated or otherwise. The music, the animation, everything.

Miles, despite a rocky beginning in comics and taking a while to be accepted, is objectively one of the best Spider-Men ever made to date.

My late Father said once when we were talking about comics/superheroes that Spider-Man was the most realistic to him cause usually in comics/movies the person becomes and superhero and everything is great. Peter becomes Spider-Man and it only complicates his life even more than before. This movie I think represents that 100% and I'm here for it.

Nic Cage as Spider-Man Noir is just perfect. Every line he says is just iconic.

and the line "we don't pick the ball room, we just dance" is so good Nick cage killed it as spiderman noir

For a TON of people, including myself, this is the best Spider-Man movie (and superhero movie) of all time. It pays homage to the Peter Parker lore and story that we all know and grew up with, and at the same time it passes the torch and sends the message that anyone can do what he does for others. A lot of superhero media these days get super cynical about heroism and the fact that figures like Spider-Man are an idea, not a person. That's true, but this movie turns that into something beautiful and empowering. This movie is just so special. I've never stopped loving superheroes, but every time I watch Into the Spider-Verse, it really makes me feel like an inspired kid again.

Watching this after seeing the second one is so funny to me. When she said "where did this spider come from", I almost spit out my mango juice lol

Fun Fact: To show how Miles is just learning and Peter is very experienced and smooth, they animated Miles at 15 frames per second and Peter at 60 (or was it 24?). Then increased Miles's frame rate as he got better. It's barely noticeable if you look for it but otherwise imperceptible. But it sure has an impact. It's most noticeable in the swinging-through-the-trees scene, after they steal the case.

The uncle Aaron reveal was one of the best moments I’ve had in the theatre for a long time. Gave me Nazgul type chills.

"Aww, did they find a way to communicate?" "Oh, I'm gonna cry again." Lmao literally me for most of the movie every time I understand what's going on.

It's ok to cry during this. I've watched it like 5+ times, and I still cry during it. There are so many new details that I pick up on each time I watch, and it makes the emotional moments hit that much harder. Things like how MIles' spider sense was purple and green at first, the same color as Prowler's. It could mean that Miles was on his way toward being a villain just like his uncle, and meeting Peter changed his colors to blue and red, like that moment changed his destiny.

I'm fairly confident this movie's success is at least part of the reason we're about to get a live action Spider-Man movie with multiverse and multiples Peter Parkers.

This is not only one of the best Spider-Man movies, it’s one of the best movies ever. One of the finest animated as well; nearly every paused frame is like a page from a comic book with a little something extra to it… I was blown away by how good this was and I can’t wait for the sequel!

It’s not just you, Natalie. I was totally unprepared for the emotional weight and complexity of this movie, never mind its truly fantastic animation and storytelling! Keep up the great work! ♥️

It's important to know that these are mostly versions of Spidey that have appeared in actual comics. Or the ones that aren't are similar to comic alternatives but further evolved. The silliest seeming one, Spider-Ham, goes all the way back to the 1980s I think. Spider-Gwen has been a huge alternate universe Spidey with her own book for about seven or eight years now. The older Peter is unique here, but with a TON of influences from flashed forward versions of him. The specific Noir and Anime versions are both new, but OTHER Noir and Anime versions of Spidey have had brief appearances in comics. This is ALL tribute, the whole movie, while done SO well even people who didn't know those inspirations enjoyed it.

This movie is literally a moving comic book it’s awesome. Like seriously when it does those action flashes you could pause and it would look like a poster or a splash page in a comic. I love it.

P. Porker: "Take this mallet... it'll fit in your pocket." If that isn't in the sequel i'm gonna be mad

This is a an S-Tier example of writing and story telling , it is an underrated aspect beside the artstyle, which i think allowed so many people to harmonize with the unique aesthetic and enhanced it (as the artstyle does with the writing).

“How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up….it’s a leap of faith” this imo is the best part of the movie. I cry everything I see this every viewing of the movie. I feel like we all can relate to this statement. Peter B Parker is my favorite character and portrayal of Spider-Man From all the movies. Love his character development it’s amazing.

It was so wholesome watching Natalie’s surprise at how good this movie was. Hoping-that she rewatches this as many times as most of us have. Definitely top 5 super hero ( comic book ) movies of all times.

In the comics, Gwen has dimension hopping powers. That's why she's a little better with the whole thing than the others are. I'm really excited for the sequel.

I honestly went into this movie skeptical, but I walked out loving it. Never thought I'd say that a Miles Morales movie would be in the running for my favorite Spider-Man movie. The animation and art style was fantastic, the voice casting was fantastic, the comedy and action were fantastic. Everything was really well done. The end credits scenes were cool too. They teased Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) for the sequel, and they did the glorious pointing Spider-Man meme. I'm probably looking forward more to this movie's sequel than I am Spider-Man: No Way Home.

20:19 man that reveal gets me everytime when you don't see it coming.

My personal favorite moment in this whole movie is at the end when Spider-Man noir says "I, uh, love you all". Just him being unsure how to express his feelings and almost being embarrassed to say it was so sweet. Unironically one of nic cage's strongest performances

Nat: *watches Into The Spider-verse* Us: Alright, let’s do this one last time.

Best Spider-Man movie ever made... The work done in this production is unprecedented. They were able to communicate so much with micro-expressions, animation, voice, music/score and context of dialogue. This is a true piece of art (no exaggeration)

This movie is a goddamn masterpiece and the Leap Of Faith scene is one of the greatest thing's I've ever seen

17:26 "Why is he so comically big?" Kingpin incredibly strong; one of his classic lines from the 90's animated series is that only 2% of his mass is fat, and other the 350 lbs is all muscle. That's a _lot_ of bulk. He's basically as strong as a human can possibly be without having any superpowers.

Classic Natalie, missing the post credit scene, lol. Don’t ever change! Also, you really need to make it a point to watch both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films before No Way Home comes out. I won’t say more, but trust me on this.

The amount of symbolism in this movie is so hard to catch its crazy, I love it. Also Nicolas Cage as the noir spiderman never gets old to me Edit: I also loved how underrated this movie was. During a time of avengers, they made an animated spiderman movie. But then people saw it and DAMN did this movie blow up. Its AMAZING

Got super emotional just watching the reactions, it gets better the more you watch it. So many animation details and such an amazing cast.

So fun fact, you've actually seen Miles' uncle Aaron before in the MCU. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the random criminal who he tracked down and cornered in the parking garage by webbing him to his car trunk was Aaron Davis, Miles' uncle. That Aaron even makes a mention of "having a nephew in the neighborhood" as well as a deleted extended version of the scene flat out having Aaron call Miles directly once Peter left after the interrogation.

I cried a lot when this came out just after Stan Lee's death and Stan Lee gets the perfect cameo in this.

watching natalie cry and laugh at this movie is so wholesome, it’s like watching it with a friend

I'm glad you actually got that scene, when Peter says, "How do I know I'm not gonna mess it up again?" I guess, maybe some people haven't gone through enough in their life to get it. Peter wanted to die with dignity, after enduring so much emotional pain. He had given up on his life and was afraid to go back and try to live. But.. trusting yourself, believing in yourself, taking that leap of faith.. The scene spoke to my soul, and helped pick me up out of a dark place. Kind of hilarious that it's a Spiderman movie, but there was so much heart. Spiderman always had so much heart. Guess that's why he was always my favorite character.

If memory serves well they won the Oscar for best animated feature. Also: don’t forget the post credit scenes Natalie 😂

The "Leap of Faith" scene is my favorite movie scene of all time & it completely took me by surprise. So much subtext, meaning and parallels in that scene that is just absolutely amazing/motivating.

At 8:20 I just CANNOT get over the genius representation of the Spidey-Sense here. Its all the warnings screaming out at him all at once without any sound and its SO GOOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE

The fact that the only thing Spider Noir stole was a Rubiks Cube and not The Declaration of Independence is wild 😂

Miles looks at Spiderman's suit twice, the first time when he arrives at aunt may's hangout, and his reflection puts his face at the chest, and the second time when he is ready to actually become spiderman, and the reflection is overlapping the suit because it fits him now. this movie is just great

I remember showing this movie to my girlfriend, and we had watched some pretty emotional movies before but I had never seen her cry until then (this was fairly early in our relationship). But when Miles was holding Peter over the portal and they had that "How do I know I'm not going to mess it up again?" exhange, I remember turning to see her tear up and I was honestly surprised (in a positive way) :D It made me happy to see her care about the characters that much, especially when she had said earlier that she didn't care about superhero movies. I love this film.

This is such a great movie to rewatch because you notice new things. When the explosion first happens at the beginning you can see the other spider people get blasted out of it.

I can't wait for Nat to see Across the Spider-verse. I've been obsessing over it for a week now. That's how good it is.

That "leap of faith" scene where Miles finally becomes Spider Man is my favourite scene in any superhero movie. It's perfect. And I love the little detail that the glass breaks when he lets go of the building because he's still scared/has doubts. It's only in the fall that he fully embraces who he is.

"Who's this mob boss guy?" It was at this point I realized Natalie needs to watch the Netflix Daredevil series. Who's with me?

After watching Across the Spiderverse, I can say Natalie asked very important questions throughout.

This is without a doubt my favorite Spider-Man movie, and very close if not my favorite movie, period. It's done so well, the characters, the animation, the development, the pacing; it's spectacular. Can't wait to see the new one when it comes out.

This movie is easily top tier comic book movies ever. Its hilarious, has a great story, is surprisingly heart wrenching, and the animation is absolutely mindblowing

When Miles put on the black suit and the camera just follows him as he falls down. Its one of the most beautiful animated scenes ever❤️🖤🕷

The amount of symbolism and details that take place in this movie is incredible (which just shows how passionate the movie's creators were). When OG Spiderman first saves Miles and the two sense each other, OG Spiderman has his standard red/blue background while Miles has a green/purple background. However, within a second or two, Miles's background colors change to red/blue; indicating a change in his destiny. When Miles first attempts (and fails) to jump across buildings, we get the "Ahhhhh" following him down to the street. However, when he finally succeeds, we get the "Wooooo" following him up as he rises. They still make use of comic style onamonapia even though it is unnecessary in a movie; to the point that when Peter B throws his bagel at someone and it hits him, we get the "Bagel" onamonapia of it hitting him. When you get the city view of the first supercollider explosion, you can see the five white trails of the extra-dimensional spider-people coming here. You can tell Gwen is trained in ballet with her shoes and the way she puts her feet down when we first see Spider-Gwen. One other thing they made great use of is in subverting expectations (indeed, they emphasis it by having Miles write a paper about the book, "Great Expectations"). You get the build up of the music as he's considering doing his jump; and then quite as he goes back down the stairs. You get this big moment as the spider bites him...and he just slaps it off him in an "eh, whatever" style. You think it's the Prowler sneaking up behind Miles when he's at Peter's grave and it turns out to be Peter B. You're expecting a big fight with Doc Ock as she approaches, only for her to get run over by a semi. It really is a masterpiece in story telling.

This is still, without a doubt, my favorite Spiderman movie. Awesome animation, beautiful story and great voice actors!

*FUN FACT* Miles is animated at 12 frames per second in the beginning of the film, instead of 24 frames per second like everything else, including the more well reformed spider-men. This helps give him a “clunkier” feeling. Over the movie as he learns to use his powers, his frame rate catches up to 24 frames per second making him seem much more fluid in movement, like a well practiced spider-man.

I'm not a comic book, superhero addict by any stretch but I honestly think I could count this as one of my favorite movies. I was totally taken aback by it while hanging out with my young niece and nephew. They wanted to watch it and I could not take my eyes off of it. Beautiful, clever, funny, emotional....just so, so good!

Easily one of my Top 10 favorite animated movies! The artstyle and animation really sell you and definitely set a standard for most animated films to follow if creators seek inspiration. It’s clear this film was not cheap to make at all, and the people working behind the scene earned those profits and awards. I was actually talking to friends about the movie yesterday, and I’m not surprised the trailer for the sequel hasn’t arrived yet. Like I said, this movie was NOT cheap (also covid might’ve impacted production in some way)

One cool detail they added in this movie is when you see Peter and Miles swinging for the first time in the woods, Peter is swinging at a smoother motion and Miles movement is choppy and almost laggy. Miles towards the end of the movie becomes more fluid in his movement to represent how far he came.

The part of this movie that got me right in the feels, was the part where Miles' dad was trying to connect with him through his college room door, and Miles couldn't talk to him because he was tied and gagged in his Spiderman suit, I was trying to hold those tears back. It got me. And the part where his uncle died in the alley...

This movie is an absolute masterpiece. When I first watched it I never expected it to be as amazing as it was. The cast is incredible, the writing and script are wonderful, the art style is SOOO good and the soundtrack is fantastic. Bring on the sequel!!!

This is the best spiderman movie ever in my opinion. I watched the new across the spiderverse movie too and it's amazingly amazing but I gotta watch it a few more times before comparing the 2. This one's insanely special

Easily one of my favorite Spider-Man movies. Cleverly done, emotional impact, lots of humor. Even after watching it several times, it still hits home. ❤️

This honestly should have at least been nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. I know it won Best Animated Feature, but it deserves so much more.

It’s such a beautifully crafted story, you can’t resist the emotion.

Considering Natlalie has thoroughly enjoyed this, AND GOT, I sincerely hope she checks out "Arcane".

Coming back to this video again having seen the newest one. Can't wait to see your reaction/hear it if you've seen it already!

Once again, Nat misses out on post-credits stuff, heh.

Netflix's Daredevil has the best live action version of Kingpin (imo). Played by Vincent D'Onofrio. Hope it's in your future lineup... great show. 👍

tbh miles leap is one of the most iconic moments. even in the games, i love going to the top and then diving down

There is so much in this movie. Literally every scene you can go frame by frame and find something. There are callbacks later in the film from things that happened earlier. A lot of animation specific things. Of course a ton of comic specific things. It's such a brilliant film and was my favorite comic book movie ever until Across the Spider-Verse came out.

This is top notch animation. Some of the best I've ever seen.

I feel like there needs to be a place where we can bet if Nat is going to remember to watch for a post credits scene each movie or not .

27:16 the laughing while crying is so good lmao

A masterpiece like this deserves a sequel “Spiderman across the spider verse”

Besides what Spider-Man Far From Home had, this film greatly gives you the taste of what the Spidey multiverse truely has and No Way Home is the real next chapter. As a black kid this film spoke to me in alot of ways and happy that it even exists. Thanks for seeing it Natalie 💛

Natalie: "I like seeing their spidey-senses, ya know?" Me: "Ah yes, the good ol' Peter-tingle." MCU Spider-Man: "Please stop calling it that."

I loved watching your reaction knowing exactly what your reactions would be hahah. This is my favorite animation, I'm so excited about the second one coming next year.

This movie is the best movie I've ever seen. The way the story is played and creates such a relatable story in such little time in a way no other movie has before. Love this

This movie is legit one of the best animated movies of the 00's and perhaps of all time. The way they fused really old skool techniques and super modern techniques to create a unique blend is super impressive. The colour pallette, the framing, the style choices per scene, all help convey that comic book feel, while also feeling like a fresh take on it. Also have to mention my favourite joke is "BAGEL!". Peter B Parker steals someone's bagel, and later throws it's away, hitting the guy in the face he took it from, and there's a big "BAGEL!" exlamation when that happens.

The animation in this film is completely unique.

Fun Fact: Peter B Parker is the main "real world" Spider-Man, during Peter Parkers intro he flies past a sign that says Koca-Soda while in Peter B's intro he flies past a Coca-Cola sign. Also during the first scene with the dimension machine on a monitor there are dots labeled E and a number, one of which is E-616 which is the mainline universe Peter B is from (also all the other numbers match the Earth numbers for the other Spider-People Gwen, Peni, Noir and Pig.) Also when Doc Oc introduces herself she says her friends call her Liv and when she shows up at Aunt Mays home May says "Oh great it's Liv" meaning that they're actually friends.

This is one of my favorite movies. The way they capture emotion with the animation is just amazing.

This was definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies made and blends the comic world and the cinema world together really well. One of my favorite little details is when Doc Ock says her friends call her Liv and then when she shows up Aunt May goes "Oh great, its Liv." It's fun to imagine like them having tea and hanging out in between the whole trying to get Spider-Man thing. Also, the end credits meme bit. Good stuff.

Aww we was hoping to see your reaction to the after-credits scene lol also there's a Spiderham cartoon you should check out!

your vibe is so chill. i could watch your reactions all day

This is my favorite movie and your reaction makes me excited to watch it all over again. Thank you :)

Honestly, this movie _really_ benefits from a second and third viewing. There's so many little background details that you simply cannot see on only one viewing. Best. Spider-Man. Movie. Hands _down._

This and Logan are basically the two genre-breaking superhero movies, for very, very different reasons. This was an amazing film. I'd highly recommend watching the "Everything Great About" video on this one - it points out SO MANY cool things that make this movie so wonderful!

my favorite thing about this movie is the most subtle thing that nobody would ever notice. everybody but miles is being animated at 60 fps and hes being amnimated at 30 fps, but as he starts to become a better spiderman, finally getting to know himself better he gets upgrade to a smooth 60fps by the end. its so subtle but its meant to show how hes still learning and isnt up to it yet, isnt ready. this movie is an artistic masterpiece.

Glad you enjoyed this movie. It took a huge number of very talented artists to bring this to the big screen. I worked for Sony Pictures Imageworks at the time (in the software development department) and we were all very proud of the result, and its success (won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe award).

I don't think I've ever left the theater in a better mood than I was after this movie. I was just grinning like an idiot. This movie absolutely blew my mind. It was so, so much better than it had any right to be. And it's a total love letter to long-time Spider-fans.

Ever since I first saw it in the theater, and every single time I watch it, the Stan Lee line "It always fits - eventually" turns me into a human waterfall. Thank you for the video, Nat and the team! It really made my day!

This is one of my FAVORITE movies and I'm glad you gave it a chance AND enjoyed it! Sequel comes out October 7th, 2022!

So this is easily my favorite movie. I am constantly surprised at how emotional this movie is. Very glad I got to enjoy it again through your eyes. Cheers from Texas!
