Miles being an artist, to me, is better than him just being a tech genius when Peter already takes up that role.

"I'll call him Toe-Beans Maguire for clarity." THE GARFIELD JOKE WAS RIGHT THERE.

The whole big reveal of Tinkerer being Phin was way more obvious than Jason revealing to be the Arkham Knight.

Krieger feels like a Spider-Man 2099 villain from the 90s

I really hope that with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, they keep the differences between Peter and Miles's combat and stealth. Learning to adjust between both of these playstyles would be really fun and engaging.

Hoping this review contains the exaggerated swagger of guy who totally doesn't talk about Spiderman a lot.(also Merry Christmas)

I always loved how both Spider-Men are people who have no problem helping out the smaller guys. Like you said, unlike the Avengers or Fantastic Four, Spider-Man is a hero of his community. The only other Marvel hero who helps the community and goes on galactic adventures is probably Deadpool.

It would've been nice if they got side missions where it'll leads up to a villain, something like Tombstone's side mission from the first game. I guess having someone like Shocker would be nice, he was arrested and brought to the Raft but after the prison outbreak, we never really hear from him again.

Peter: Oh no someone I care about is secretly a technologically advanced supervillain! Miles: Oh no someone I care about is secretly a technologically advanced supervillain! Also my uncle is here.

The exaggerated swagger of a video game review

7:24 you put a track that's called "can't feel my face", that's fucking hilarious

0/10 He didn’t say anything about how many slight variations of the classic suit there are.

Fantastic video. Good job dude 👏

Merry Christmas, Xavier!

Welp... guess I cant do a review of this game anymore. The god of spider-man youtube content has already given his thoughts and basically said what I wanted to say about the game. Great review again GodzillaMendoza. My god this review so good. I cant. Gonna be rewatching this alongside the retrospective series.

The way Simon Krieger speaks is "Oil executive trying to say they care about the enviroment"

I actually liked the tinkerer fight because she can literally do everything that the enemies you have fought in the game previously can do. So the game basically asks you to take everything you have learned while playing and bring it all together for the final boss fight. That's pretty cool.

Hammerhead from The City That Never Sleeps wasn't Peter's friend turned evil. He was just sh*t.

That rich guy looks a bit like Topher Grace.

2:53 Comic Accurate Elekro: I'm a Joke To You?!

7:15- 10:51 THAT!!! All of THAT!!!

Godzilla: Guess its my turn to be the Santa

Press F to pay respect for Hobie Brown fans

God I love hobie brown, his arc and what it shows about Peter’s heart and goal in being a hero.

18:11 yeah as a fan of classic prowler I'm sad he'll never be in any Spider-Man movie or game 😔 he was almost in Spider-Man 4 before that got cancelled

Weird how you didnt point out how they retcanon’d miles now being from brooklyn visions instead of midtown high like the last game. Either way this was another lovely video and an absolute love letter to everything we love about Spider-Man!

It honestly took me a long time to adapt to Miles’ weaker super jump, I’d try to jump onto a building and do midair tricks, and just end up eating shit and smashing into the ground

In my opinion tinkerer is the best boss fight in the entire insomniac Spider-Man games franchise all two of them because there are actual multiple stages to the fight

14:07 funny enough this was a point of contention between spidey's co creators, supposedly. According to the story, back when the green goblin's identity was a mystery, stan lee want it to be someone pete knew (in this case his friend's dad) for a big dramatic punch, while steve ditko wanted it to be some random guy, believing that crime should be anonymous.

6:34 they really did just outright ignore that comic, huh.

11:00 Man, it feels so good to hear Stan Lee's voice again

13:14 yeah I noticed that too I was fine with it in the first Spider-Man game but I hope it doesn't become a trend like I don't want kraven the hunter to be Spider-Mans mentor

I feel like the "Insomniac connection" between spiderman and the villains of the game isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Narratively, you make sense of both sides and find a reason to connect and understand each character being affected. In the first game, for example, they made Otto and Peter partners in Otto's lab. We all know Otto Octavius becomes Doc Ock but it's the fact that we can understand and relate to Otto making the transition to Doc Ock more painful to not only Peter but the player as well and that is what I think Insomniac shined. In Miles' case, I feel like the player didn't have the chance to connect with Phin as much as we did with Otto making the dynamic almost dull and redundant. I have high hopes for Spider-Man 2 though because of how well they made the first game and how gripping the story was. The character dynamic will still be incredible and having Harry as Venom is an interesting idea that I have faith in Insomniac will do right.

"Is this the end of brown spiderman" caught me off guard. LOL

He really predicted Marvels Spider Man 2

It seems to me like you were expecting a full-blown sequel here rather than a high-quality side story, that's part of why this is a much shorter game and story. The writers clearly knew what they were doing with the similarities between Miles and Phin and Otto and Peter, they were meant to parallel each other not be rip-offs, best seen when the two duos literally bump into each other during that flashback scene, they knew what they were doing there. You really seemed to expect Miles story to be too much of its own thing but by virtue of him being Peters protege on his first solo adventure that couldn't have been the case. This isn't about Miles becoming Spiderman it's about him recognizing his identity and potential to be his OWN Spiderman, so there will be similarities but they are very much his own, best seen when he takes the suit Peter made for him and makes the now iconic Miles suit. It parallels the scene from Peters game where Otto helps him make his white spider suit but serves a different purpose, there Peter was accepting a friends help in making himself a better suit but because he refuses to let too many people in on his secret that was pretty much all Otto could really do for him. Miles, on the other hand, comes to recognize that he doesn't have to do things as Peter does, he mentions at one point that Peter said it's a "rule" that you never tell anyone you're secret identity but this just doesn't work for Miles. He comes to find value in having his own support system to help him out, first with Ganke, then with Uncle Aaron, and even his mother are all let in on the secret and they all support and help him to varying degrees. This is something Peter has always been too afraid to do but it goes to further show how similar yet different he and Miles are. Predictable isn't always a bad thing, I too saw where things were likely going for Phin and I dreaded it every step of the way. I was hoping she could live through to the end but that obviously just wasn't meant to be, didn't matter at all that I saw her death coming. As for Simon, I mean I guess they could have had him get away but I don't mind him being caught either. It goes to further make Phins story even more tragic because this proves that Miles was right, if they had just gone public with everything Simon was doing he would have been arrested and Roxxon would have been finished, but she was so blinded by rage and grief that that option was unacceptable, she needed to make Simon hurt in any way she could, just as Otto couldn't let his beef with Norman go. I also LOVED everything done with Uncle Aaron, he's far more sympathetic here than he's ever been and I love that he isn't just stuck as a villain through to the end since he does get a moment of redemption at the end and could possibly begin to mend his relationship with Miles and his family later, but does still get arrested himself and is still paying for what he's done too. His side missions were some of the first ones I finished, just the right amount of challenge without being frustrating and the reward for finishing them was awesome and well worth it. I found this game's story to be, yes, shorter than the first but every bit as engaging. Part of this is me further relating to Miles as a young black man myself, that scene where he's about to be shot by the Roxxon guys on the bridge really hit me in a place. It's not exactly the Miles game I would have made but I'm more than happy with what I got.

“but the main bad guys my bro” 💀

2:52 Miles actually has shot lightning out of his hands before

It's kind of funny how you guessed the story of Marvel's Spider-man 2 multiple times in this video.

I love the lore of 'the bone collector'. Maybe a version of spiderman or just a crazy guy that went through something similar to get the powers. Or a monster I'm overthinking this

mom: it’s christm- me: stfu xavier made a new video!

Spider man is like Pokémon where almost every villain is a company or cult

Xavier: “Looks like all of the main villains will follow this formula.” Kraven: I got you bro.

Dude- the placement of that ad at like 11:10 with the stan lee voice over nearly made me choke on my drink. 😂 funniest shit ive heard in a while

16:00 The worst part about Krieger is that his plan makes 0 sense because most power plants aren’t even located in the city they power (thanks Game Theory) so all Roxxon had to do was put the newform generator in a secluded desert and they get all the benefits and none of the evil shit, making him both an asshole AND a terrible businessman.

When we first meet Otto, he's just Peter's boss for this interesting new job. We get to watch them develop and lose their friendship from start to finish. That doesn't fit into the villains with a history formula at all. Besides, Insomniac is so good at writing those types of characters. It's not just the villains, either. MJ and Peter have been through so much together, it gives them a special bond that doesn't feel forced at all

Ganke:You stole my identity Ned: No I'm slim now Ganke:bcoz of you I'm slim now too

It’s kinda funny how most players like and use the base suit Miles makes in the story line but in the main Spider Man game, everyone is indifferent about the advance suit Octavius makes for Peter and just use the other variants of the suit.

Thank you so much for that rant on villains being former friends of the main character. I am so sick of this, ESPECIALLY in Spider-Man, and I just want some good old fashioned "bad guy" villains again.

11:07 what a brilliant time to get an ad

When everybody was too scared to review this game fairly Xavier: Fine, I’ll do it my self

Miles and Peter are like Wally and Barry from Flash Comics. Barry was respected by his community and holped them, but Wally was a friend to everyone in the city

The Villains can't handle his exaggerated swagger

Why does all of Xavier's Videos make me so emotional with nostalgia! Like I'm not crying or anything but his reviews/retrospective & the "gone wrong" series makes me remember the good old days of marvel comics & their media (Cartoon's, Video Games, etc.). During the times when people understood the characters they were portraying instead of changing them for the worse. (Miles is one of the exceptions.) Anyways great video and the jokes great. Some were subtle but on point.

bro predicted harry as venom in spiderman2

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is one of my favorite video games. I give it a 9.95/10

3:50 "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Explains why they recast Peter's face model

"This is scientifically inaccurate" Oh, that's good comedy, you just got a new subscriber.

14:40 dude I’m convinced you are a damn fortune teller because (spoilers) That’s in the game

"this is scientifically in accurate" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally, someone put into words exactly what I thought, and of course, it was you. No surprise there. One thing that's been bothering me is that a few people act like Miles is the only Spider Man who helps the little guy or helps the community as a whole with acts of good that might seem small, but as a whole have a huge impact, like Peter saving Gloria and pointing her at the right direction. Look at her now. And you pointed out exactly what I thought. Both Peter and Miles help the little guy and the community and are not above the smallest acts of kindness, Miles just allows himself to receive it back from the people he helps, being part of that community as both Miles and Spider Man, while Peter mostly keeps them at arm's length because of all his experiences until this point and because he just doesn't have this talent to connect with people that Miles has. He helps people but does the absolute best he can to not get help back because he's compassionate to a fault, and really doesn't like the idea of someone wasting their time to help him even if he does the exact same. And Miles might've been like that if Peter and Aunt May hadn't took him in, hadn't shown him kindness and helped him even though they didn't have much to do with Miles anyway. Miles allows himself to be loved back while Peter doesn't really like the idea of that, but hopefully will open up to that with Miles by his side now.

Merry Christmas, Xavier! About Spider man's villains, while I agree with you in some points, I don't mind that the Spidey's villains are usually people who have a connection with him. This actually match with the main theme of Spider man stories, which is about action and consequences. Most of spider man stories are about Peter (or Miles) decisions and how his activites as Spider man affect his life as well the lifes of the people around them. The villains represent one of the results of their actions as heroes and make the conflitct more personal, putting Spider man in situation where he has to choose between his friend or do the right thing.

I agree with you about the story. It’s definitely told out of order. That’s a mistake a lot of modern day single player games make. The Last of Us 2 comes to mind. I feel like with this game (and TLOU2), I could re-edit the cutscenes to be in chronological order, and it would make the game 10x better. This game is still good tho. 8/10

Miles still needs his own superhero name

14:37 this aged well

Here from the future to say your calls on MSM2 seem to be spot on. Well I’ll be back from a week in the future to confirm

I’m glad he said Salad Game. I was worried that it would become some off hand joke in one video. Also Merry Jesus Birthday

I can see why you didn’t talk about this in the video, but I also think the diversity in the game was really special and was something that meant a lot to me. I obviously assumed they’d include characters of different ethnicities based off of the fact that that’s half of miles character (which is still great, just something I predicted), but I think that including a deaf character was awesome, especially because they didn’t paint her in a negative light, or make her disability seem annoying, she just seemed like a normal character who happened to be deaf. I also thought her relationship with miles was really sweet, and it was cool that they also made him seem very accepting of her. Also, a bit of a smaller inclusion, but they did include some lgbtq+ characters in the game. It was probably just for queer-baiting, but it still felt really cool. Also, not only was it cool that they included these minorities, but it also felt a lot more realistic. It made the world feel natural, because there obviously are people of these minorities all around, especially in new york, so it just made the world feel like an actual place and not just a fictional world. (I should clarify that I don’t think a story or world is bad because it doesn’t include a minority, I just think that including the minority makes it feel a lot more realistic)

10:54 Brown Spider-Man??? what XD

I was already hooked but the 2pac joke just instantly caused an involuntary subscribe reflex. RIP Tupac, Legend🕊

LOOK MAN I JUST WANT MY BOY HOBIE BACK YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS

Your releasing vids more frequently Xavier. I hope you keep this up. (You probably won’t but a dude can hope.) nice vid

2:29 Merry Christmas :)

about the villains the reason why I love mcu mysterio more than mcu vulture , he has no former connection to peter, other than his goals to manipulate him

14:19 imagine if it was actually like that lmao

I wish the prowler was more evil. Kind of like red mist from kick ass.

At 2:00 “that’s not gonna be funny at all for people watching my videos for the first time”, I’ve never watched your videos before this so when you said that it was factual but the fact that you brought attention to it made up for it completely and made it way funnier

Honestly, I can't wait for the day that Miles gets his own name that isn't just "Spiderman" or "Miles's Spiderman". Something fitting for him, maybe take on the "Prowler" name? Or something that helps him really step out of Peters shadow in this universe.

18:00 Hobie Brown may never get to be The Prowler again, but at least he was able to breathe new life by being Spider-Punk.

This is one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Loved all the points you made I feel like you took the words right out of my mouth lol. Excellent job!!!

I really want a spidergwen game Spider-Man 2099 game from this crew.

I love that in the background Cant Feel My Face instrumental is playing. XO forever!

HOW DID HE KNOW 3:21

Brilliant essay and analysis, just platinumed the game, ready for Spiderman 2 on October 20th! 💯😃🙌

13:53 he got it right

Such a good point at 4:30 the boss fights have been severely lacking, the element of dynamic change of scenery would oh so sweet . Vulture and electro were both contained to that, an open air box. But based on on the overall combat animation improvement and the rhino chase I feel like they’re on their way. Spider-Man 2 could just be disgusting but we’ll see if they can anticipate that want. Someone should clip a link to insomniac.

14:46 Poor Roderick Kingsley keeps being cheated out of his big break.

They need to add an option called "ps4 mode" where it gives you the original face

18:04 Thank you! I've felt this way for a long time.

5:06 I cracked up when he said that 😂😂😂

its funny how much stuff he got right about spider man 2

I think it would have been good to go even further with the flashback being the start, and having Phin alongside Miles at Brooklyn Visions, he knows that Rick died, and he just took her distance as grieving for her brother. Instead she began to work with the Undeground, became the Tinkerer, and rose in power in the background. The reveal would come much later, after having more moments between Phin and Miles, making the reveal and sotry more impactful. Maybe the first Act would be. bit more focused on Fisk and his actions against Harlem, or even just some minor villains that take up the time to give us something to do in between the emotional points that further develop the relationships. Maybe even investigating Roxxon because Miles (and Peter) are suspicious of their actions in regards to holding Rhino, and discovering that they're enhancing his armour, which leads into an attack from the Underground as they look for Nuform shipments. I'm just spitballing some ideas here. I have no idea how well this would flow with the rest of the story.

I disagree about the boss fights, I felt that this game did them way better than Spider-Man PS4 2018. All the boss fights in Spider-Man 2018 made you do the same tactics each time with very little variation, the Mr Negative boss battle in the train was awful, and the Doc Ock fight kept using the same canned in animations. In Spider-Man Miles Morales each boss battle had multiple phases and felt way more grand in scale, especially in terms of destruction in my opinion. Like when you fight Roxxon suited Rhino and Miles and Phin can do team attacks against Rhino, or when Miles fights Phin and the whole building is collapsing and each layer falls away while going through the next phase in the fight, that's amazing to me.

The side missions of a good superhero game I think are the best part. It makes the game feel more like a world and not just a story. They can make the game worth exploring rather than just playing through. It's part of why I loved the first two Infamous games but didn't feel the same about the third. This is also why I don't like the Deadpool game so much now that my sense of humor has changed.

15:06 OMG I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THEY HAVE SIMLar LINES I have the game and played it for a while until I got a ps4 and played spiderman and miles morales

I like having a universe where Uncle Aaron is able to redeem himself without dying.

2:35, best joke in the video IMO

Crazy they actually used the life story suits for both pete and miles like xavier was mentioning in spiderman 2

This is a taste of what Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is gonna be like. Peter is gonna be so fluid and graceful when swinging, i’m sure!
