Why I Love Across the Spider-Verse - Who Deserves to Be Spider-Man? 

i called Spider-Ham Spider-Pig, i'm sorry 💔anyways what are your thoughts on the movie?

I love how they introduced Hobie as a romantic rival for Miles, yet throughout the whole movie he proves himself to be an absolute lad.

This really shows that comic book fatigue isn’t really the thing happening, it just takes real passion that doesn’t feel like an algorithm made it.

I thought Peter B Parkers arc was great. He didn't get sidelined, he didn't get belittled or anything. He got over his mental health issues, reconciled with MJ and actually got a kid with her. We can see, that their relationship works great and he loves their kid dearly. Also he is really proud of Miles and takes every opportunity to tell the other spiderpeople, that he himself was Miles' mentor and teacher. And he always tries to diffuse the situation, because he knows and understands what Miguel is about and why things have to be the way they are. But he also loves Miles and doesn't want the kid to get hurt.

The "anyone can be Spider-Man" is exactly why Stan Lee originally gave Spider-Man a full-cover mask and suit. That's one of the primary lessons of Spider-Man, so it's likely to be correct.

One of the best details in the film is that Miles wants to study physics and quantum mechanics because he wants the chance to see his Spider Friends again in another dimension. Just shows how alone Miles felt and how he needed Gwen and the other Spider People.

Loved how Gwen’s story mirrored her father’s story. George Stacy was a cop who was trying to play by the book when it came to the legality of Spider-Woman. He turned his back on his own daughter because that’s what he was supposed to do. When Gwen felt abandoned and alone and was taken in by the Spider-Society, she gave all of herself to their cause and was playing by the book. She only wanted to go to other dimensions just to see Miles, similar to Miles only wanting to find out how to to other dimensions just to see Gwen and his friends. She felt alone and just wanted companionship. With the fear of going back home, Gwen dedicated herself to just sticking to the life that was written for her until she has the one moment of weakness where she gives into what she wants, kickstarting the whole plot. After that we see Gwen’s struggle between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels compelled to do, and by the end she comes out the other side realizing that sometimes you have to throw out the playbook and fight for what we truly want. And this development gets mirrored with George Stacy quitting his job as a cop because he values his daughter much more. Gwen’s story was such a great cautionary tale and parallel for Miles and just a great story overall. Loved how the film bookended with Gwen’s arc.

I think it's also fitting that this kid is Spiderman, because of his very name. The name Miles screams someone who wants to go the distance and see new things. Morales implies someone who faces moral and ideological struggles, yet willing to go the extra "mile" just to defy fate and the opinions of others. Miles Morales is one of the best, if not "the" best Spidemen of all time.

I really liked how this film really emphasized Spider-Man 2099's motivation and how even though he's right about many things, he still overlooks the flaws in his own crusade to protect the multiverse and how maybe some stories aren't meant to play out as intended.

Keeping a secret by your own crush is the worst kind of betrayal a protagonist like Miles Morales has ever faced. At least Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen) has come to realizing that keeping a secret from your own crush is one of the worst kinds of sacrifice a hero from another dimension has made because he was an original anomaly. The moment Miles saids “goodbye Gwen” to her is heartbreaking enough that your friendship and your trust in others is destroyed because you have to follow the “Canon Event” rule. Now that she’s assembling her own spider team to rescue Miles and help stop the Spot, she needs to earn his trust again at first. Who is excited to see Spider-Man: Beyond the Spiderverse?

Miguel lost sight of what Spiderman is. Miles EMBODIES what Spiderman is. Hope. And where Miguel became paranoid by fear because of 'what if?' Miles takes the opportunity whenever there is one to help and try.

One of the themes that I don’t see anyone talking about is the whole idea of our weird need to give pain meaning. This movie dared to ask a question not only I couldn’t ever have come up with, but out right consider heresy at some point of my life. "Does Peter Parker actually have to suffer to be Spider-Man?" Thing is, many of us do feel like growth only comes with pain. It helps us cope with our pain and at times there really is a lesson to be learned. But just like Miguel, we’re deeply afraid of seeing that our pain actually may have not been necessary at all. Our self image falls apparat the moment we realize that our trauma was not necessary to be better people. Miles represents the opposite. The infinite potential of us stopping to depend on our trauma to explore the world around us. What we could be if we chased after what we believe in and desire. It feels like this movie stared at my soul and asked why not have your cake and eat it too? What’s stopping you from baking two?

I feel like Gwen rejected herself. In the sense that she has confined herself to the idea that she can never have what she wants when it comes to her life as Gwen Stacy. Her loneliness and the one thing that fills that void where she's happy and full of life, is Miles. She can be herself, but she still can't be whole. It's crazy how she and Miles feel so connected. I'm glad she's fighting for what she wants. "It's all possible" Even though she's separated from Miles again he still inspires her. That determination she has really shows how much she loves Miles.

I thought the perspective of Miles leaving his community (diverse, multicultural, home), and go to a PWI for college was a really strong metaphor for the overall issue of needing to stay true to himself in the movie. The contrast between home and the world... And it also made for a really moving scene with his mom, where the advice is true for so many folks in real life, but also works in the science fiction plot as well! Super good representation and writing

I actually really like Peter in the film. He is an older character who is a dad, and hecka proud of it. He wears the baby carrier with grace remember there was a time when weirdos would say a dad wearing that was awful and not masculine while at the same time complaining man never help He's chilling going around with comfy slippers and a bathrobe with no shame. I never took it as the writer trying to put him down. More like, his priority is his daughter. He is one of my favs.

"What's important is not standing by while allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing. If you don't get that, then you don't get the first thing about being Spider-Man." - Peter Parker (Amazing Spider-Man) teaching Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) what being Spider-Man means (Spider-Man: Edge of Time)

This movie made the statement that i wanted to hear. We have had so many superheroes with tragic backstories that at one point i got fed up and asked, why can't we have a hero who is one because he wants to be a good person? Why are we defining our heroes by their tragedies and not their good deeds? And you know what? I'm glad this movie came out. Spiderman, to me personally, is a hero because he chooses to do good things, not because of his tragic backstory. And i hated writers for constantly heaping tragedies on him.

I'm surprised he didn't mention Gwen Stacy's dad breaking canon by quitting his job. It's another knock on Miguel's canon theory, but it also pushed Gwen to realize the error of her and Miguel's ways and try to help/join Miles.

It's not that Hobie is pulled in by what miles does it's that miles is truly genuine about the things he cares about Punk is all about caring and showing that even when you have to fight you do it from a place of love and compassion. Not just for yourself but for those around you that you strive to make the world a better place

Honestly, I was waiting for you to upload this. I'll only say this what a good Captain once said. When the mob or the press or the whole world tells you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eyes, and say no, you move. And miles did exactly that.

I like how Miguel is right,but SO IS Miles. Miguel is right to be worried about the multiverse because of what he has witnessed and what happened to him. HOWEVER. You can't expect someone in their right godforsaken mind to just go ahead and let their father die just "because it is what it is". Also I can't wait for the closing case between Gwen + Peter B and Miles after what happened to them at the train. Goodness me i love this damn movie

Possibly the only good the 'Spiderman Squad' has done is give each of the members a chance to relate with others who had gone through similar situations. A lot of 'hero movies' nowadays seem to have and angst phase where they feel completely alone in their situation and no one to relate their troubles to in regard to their force upon mutations. But now there's nearly a society of 'spider people' they can relate to and find solace. Sort of how battle weary soldiers only really bond with other soldiers.

I really loved into the Spiderverse and I will never get tired of Sunflower. I really loved Across the Spiderverse, the best Superhero movie of the year for me. Imo anyone can be Spider-Man, people always say that Peter has values that he always follows which isn't always true. Sometimes Peter just wants to give up and not let things be his problem, but he can't do that and he goes and saves the day. I really love a lot of adaptions of the wall crawler

Miles truly embodies the anime protagonist who constantly is emitting a ray of positivity much like Naruto, Luffy etc.

This movie is so good. You feel every emotion even somewhat anger at Miguel but you get why he does what he does. Every character your so immersed with throughout the film even Spot. Spot's life was taken away from him but a line that stood out what he said. "You know what I needed more holes." Paraphrasing but that's a real life issue. You don't create more holes to fill the void you feel about yourself. There's so many elements that can be discussed in this film and I'm glad so many people are dissecting and enjoying this film at the same time. 10/10 film. I'm seeing it one more time.

Miguel has this warped view of what it means to be Spider-Man. He thinks it's a downward spiral of never-ending pain and suffering and sacrifice.

While this comment section alone has pointed so many things this film so expertly explores, the thing I've personally taken away the most from this film is embodied by this single line. "Nah, Imma do my own thing". As someone who has always felt alone, or like an outsider because I've always tried to do my own thing, never have I felt myself resonate so much with a character before in my life than in that moment and thus has forever cemented Miles Morales and my most favourite protagonist in all of fiction.

A major part of Spider-man definitely is sacrifice. But it's more so self sacrifice. And that is something miles absolutely needs to learn. You can't have your cake and eat it too. And if you do get two cakes you end up with "I'm not proud" aka not giving either proper treatment.

I don't think it's only the traumatic deaths that each person experiences that make them spiderman, it's the development and heart of the person. The way they overcome the obstacle. I'm sure deep down Migel has that but he's been so on the idea of the canon and his mistakes that he's become cold hearted. Great video.

I feel like Miguel and Miles are really good parallels that didn’t get enough screen time. They’re both VERY different spider men, in almost complete opposite ways. Both are very lonely people, one motivated by guilt and anger, the other love and compassion. Ones alone through being outcasted and the other by his differences with others supposedly like him as well. I really hope in the final movie they give Miguel more screen time and more interaction with miles because I feel it’s a missed opportunity otherwise.

Im gonna say it, I love that the relationship of Gwen and her father is nice, im so sick of every female main character being a dick for no reason to every male in the screen, seeing Gwen hug her father despise the difference on how they do good in the world made me so happy!

"Pain doesn't make people. It's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential. It's love that saves them." - Taliesin Jaffe/Caduceus Clay.

The definition that Hobie gives to being Spiderman is having “independence” or being in control of one’s destiny, which seems to be a contributing factor of his immediate sense of kinship with Miles, as they both value self-expression. Miles earlier on resents his parents constantly badgering him about their expectations for him and his suspicious absences, thinking that because he is growing up and secretly a superhero, he isn’t beholden to anyone’s rules other than his own and should be allowed to decide for himself what he wants to be regardless of others opinions. Miguel’s definition of being Spiderman is “sacrifice”, especially personal sacrifices of peace and happiness so that others may survive and prosper. Unfortunately, Miguel’s display of “canon events” flies in the face of the idea that anyone is really in charge of their fate since, to Miguel, it’s the responsible thing to let these events happen lest it risk the destruction of universes. Mile’s insistence on being different and doing things his way is reframed as a flaw of arrogance just as much as the previous film showed it as self-actualizing confidence. He doesn’t know if saving his father would destabilize his universe or not, but still attempts to do so, choosing an irresponsible path that leaves him stranded in a heroless universe staring down the version of him that was robbed of his heroic destiny and was reinvented as a villain. And we are left by movie’s end with two teams, Team Responsibility and Team Irresponsibility, one believing independence at the risk of recklessly causing catastrophe and the other insisting on the importance of sacrifice at the cost of becoming cruel. Both sides are fleshed out and have positive and negative aspects, leaving the audience to decide which is the correct path.

Miles Morales is a great Spiderman that represents why Spiderman in general can't just let people die when he can save them. While Miles is different from others who have taken up the mantle of Spiderman, which in itself is a good thing, he shows what makes Spiderman the hero he is. The movie's version of Miguel O'Hara is one who lost sight of what it means to be Spiderman, and I honestly hope that he redeems himself in the next movie because of Miles.

I don't trust people who hate gwen after this movie. She is a 16/17 year old girl without a home and with a knowledge that her dad and her best friends dad has to die. It's normal that she doesn't tell Miles about it. The whole movie she is telling that the thing Miguel tells her to do doesn't fill right. At the end she trusts her gut and makes a "band" to save her best friend. She litterly felt he was in danger across the multiverse.

Upon watching ATSV for the third time, I realized that when Peter B. Parker reunited with Miles, he brought Mayday to meet Miles and Miguel, showed them pictures of her, and let Miguel hold the baby so that he (Miguel) would calm down and be more lenient and gentle with Miles.

This movie was great. Miguel has a solid reason for trying to keep the Multiverse intact, but Miles' is thinking from a personal, emotional point of view. Its a tale as old as time; *Duty VS Desire*

Excellent video! Miguel is such a good antagonist for a movie about what makes someone Spider-Man. He represents the comic fans themselves, the people who see Peter as the “real/true” Spider-Man and see the canon events as necessary suffering that is integral to being Spider-Man, rather than them being essential to what shaped a version of Spider-Man. Miles is Spider-Man because he essentially chooses himself in the first movie, and Miguel can’t accept that. He didn’t get where he is without going through so much pain, it’s shaped every aspect of who he is as a person. Miguel thinks suffering and still doing things “for the greater good” regardless of how much it hurts is what makes someone a hero, and Miles refuses to buy into that narrative. Miles might be wrong, maybe his dad does need to die or the universe collapses. But he isn’t Peter and he isn’t Miguel, so maybe the things that shape Miles into his own kind of Spider-Man are completely different. Miles wants to find his own path, he paints over the suit in the first movie as a sign of him making Spider-Man his own. He shapes his canon just as much as he is shaped by it, and that’s something Miguel cannot understand or accept. He is the perfect foil to Miles, and an excellent commentary on real world comic book fans and their steadfast belief in what makes a Spider-Man.

I usually never say this about characters from short form stories like a movie But I think Miles is genuinely one of the best characters out there

I love the contrast between Spider-hams "you can't save everyone" and Miguels "saving the universe vs saving one person" as with the first it's a even though you can't save everyone doesn't mean you stop trying to save someone

Sony will NEVER fully give up the rights to Spider-Man, it’s hilarious how they tell Marvel Studios/Disney "we’ll let you borrow him from time to time, but he’s ours".

I genuinely think that the relationship between Gwen and Miles is one of my favorite romances in movie history. Their scene on clock tower is probably my favorite in the film.

12:17 Miles walks a lonely road, the only one that he's ever known.

Everyone keeps Telling me how my story is supposed to go nha ima do my Things -Miles Morales Spiderman

This movie is beautiful, and I am looking forward to Beyond the Spider-Verse. I really feel like a key theme is definitely expectations and going against them. People like his parents are worried for Miles being accepted when he is different, going against the expectations of others when he wants Princeton. The Spider Society goes against Miles' expectations, and he has to make a choice on what to do when ordered to fall in line. Even Hobie, who was built as a romantic rival, went against expectations by being the best support Miles had when the Spider Society turned on him.

I have been swimming in analysis videos of this films over the last week and a bit, but have been eagerly waiting to hear you specifically talk about it, and you did not disappoint. Its been so amazing seeing so many people give this film all the love it deserves!

Peter Parker and Miles Morales are both my versions of Spider-Man.

ATSV came out at the perfect time for me, as I’m going to university in September, so seeing miles discussing his itinerary with his parents was relatable, especially since he will have to continue his journey without them being close to him. This was a really good analysis, sage rain, which isn’t surprising coming from you.

i just pressed play and i already know i’m gonna be thinking about what’s said in this video for the rest of the week

Spider-Man was never forged by tragedy. Everyone experiences tragedy it’s how we choose to react and commit to our actions. Peter chose to take revenge and realize he could have done something. Harry believed spider man killed his father and he chose to to harbor his hatred and attempt to kill his friend. Peter in return chose to not explain what happened. The point is they can choose. Gwen chose to stay behind to help stop electro and she lost her life but Peter tried with all his might to save her . Spider-Ham is right you can’t save everyone but you choose to try.

this is a wonderful video essay! the core of Spider-Man is that he perseveres and tries no matter what. Even if Miles isn't successful in saving his world and his family because Spider-Man typically doesn't get a happy ending when it comes to being able to accomplish both tasks, he will definitely persevere after the fact, and that is what is powerful about the character.

Here a conversation in Spiderman Edge of time that i like Parker: Fine. I'm a nosy Parker! But now that i found out.. Miguel: it's what? my job to save her? i got enough to deal with! Parker: you can't mean that? you just can't ignore that she's in danger. Miguel: i'm trying to focus on what important. Parker: what's important is not standing by and allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing. if you don't get that. then you don't get the first thing about Spider-man

I personally despise cake eaters people who think they can have it all with no consequence but in this case I actually want to see Miles try. I want to see him save his father and prevent the destruction of the multiverse in the least contrived way

I feel like this title’s sentiment is a lot stronger in the first film, especially when considering the closing monologue that explains “anyone can wear the mask” Personally this movie make me think more about what kind of Spider-Man he wants to become

One thing that strikes me about Miles as an “anomaly” is how Miles in the other universe was meant to be Spiderman. So what are the odds that miles in another universe is bitten by that spider. Why not someone else?

I saw this movie weeks ago and I can safely say that this is one of the pieces of media where that I can see both perspectives on the conflict at hand.

Now that you said it, his character road is similar to Asta in Black Clover. He was never supposed to exist, yet here he stands because he chose to.

That's was a wonderful breakdown..

There's a lot of parallels between miles and where the mcu spiderman is at currently, they're both in incredibly isolated places. Miles in a dimension that isn't his and Tom holland whos identity has been forgotten by everyone including those he loved and could confide in

Hobbie is not just a Love Rival, but the Next Big Mentor and Best Friend for Miles to Learn. He Could be the Big Bro. Miles Never Expect and the Kammina of this Series.

This is 100% an idea I took from other people, but I like to think Hobie fully intended to rebel against the spider society before he even met Miles. It was really him encouraging Miles to fight the system rather than the other way around, and the biggest evidence of that is what he's actually doing at that point of the film. All of Miles's friends from the first movie are trying to reason with him and Miguel, solve the issue with words rather than fighting. But then there's Hobie who shows up, steals shit to make his own watch, makes sure Miles can escape the trap he probably knew was coming, and then quits as soon as the actual fighting began. Man when "aight, my work here is done" and peaced out, lol.

I say both sides are right about being Spiderman. Yes being Spiderman isn't an easy happy job. The path to be a hero is filled with pain and struggle. Spiderman has gone through many heartaches, tragedies and experienced a lot of trauma. But all those things made him who is but tragedy isn't all Spiderman is. Yes Spiderman always finds a way to save people but he can't save everyone. The job requires sacrifice but that's not all he has to be. Miguel O'Hare was my favourite character in this movie. He's so fascinating and complex he's not an evil villain trying to take over the multiverse. Miguel is just trying to do what he thinks is the right thing.

His father must die because the universe MIGHT tear itself to shreds if he doesn't. Even though the universe should have turned itself to shreds when he was bitten by the spider meant for Earth 42. the spider-verse is basically a compilation of webs so who is the proverbial spider spinning these webs? who decides that the police captain's death is a must.

One of a handful of movies where the sequel is better than the original.

Loneliness effects us all it can make us feel small. The film does a great job at explaining how complex loneliness is as a concept.

So I'm 28. I grew up with the 90's spider-man cartoon, played spider-man on N64, watched the Sam Raimi Spider-man trilogy atleast 5 times, as well as many other things minus reading the comics up to the present. However, I don't think I understood why spider-man works as a hero. The x-men is about race, batman(for the most part) does the right thing even when its hard, super man is the symbol for hope. For spider-man, I like him and always will, but could never describe him in just a few words as I did with the others. Not until I saw spider-verse 1 when it came out. I knew who miles was before then but that was it. I never knew his personality. Honestly, as a black man, I was just happy to see him take up the title. Seeing spider-verse 1 hit both miles character and what it meant to be spider-man for me. "Anyone can be spider-man". Your name doesn't have to be peter, parker, marry jane, gwen stacy, shoot even aunt may. Miles is a kid from Brooklyn with this "great power, great responsibility" suddenly thrust upon him. Took him a bit, but he did his "leap of faith" and accepted his role as a super hero. If there was a kid out there right now who suddenly got bit by a radio-active spider, this would be their story. Yes you can say that about any spider-man iteration, but miles might as well be a new character in the spider-man lore. Who knew who miles, spider-punk, or Indian spider-man was if you weren't into the comic books before these movies? But you knew those other names right? I'm sorry for the long rant and most of that was just on the first movie. But I did watch the whole video and I get spider-verse 2, for miles, is about breaking the path this set for him and spider-man even. But for me, with my own interpretation of spider-verse 1 and 2 for that matter, being deserving of the spider-man title means doing what no one else could. "Its up to me" "nah I'mma do my own thing". Man I hope these spider-verse movies give more opptunities to bring other spider-man into the spotlight for the general public. I'll even take spider-man OCs if the story is good enough. Again, thank you for reading. I know it was alot.

"It's not criminal to be an individual." Marco Diza (SVTFOE). You go Miles make your own path & don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Spider-Man doesn't give up, "You're the best of all of us Miles, your on your way just keep going."

Across the Spiderverse is the perfect Progressive/Woke film. Great representation, animation, music, characters, and story!! Love that in this film, they turned the initial reaction of some Spiderman Fans when Miles was introduced into a plot. "Not my Spiderman" they said. Miles was never supposed to be Spiderman but he did, and for me, that makes him the Best Spiderman. Can't wait for the finale!

Miguel has forgotten what made Spiderman a hero. He has forgotten everyone he's learned, and because of that, his ignorance will be the end of everything

Anyone who wants to do the right thing and tries to use their great power to build and help others to the best of their ability and is willing to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of others (to an extent of course) deserves to be Spider-Man

The way I see it, if Miguel is wrong, Miles and his universe will live, if Miguel is right though, everyone dies

The more time has passed after I watched this movie for the first time, the more I realise how valuable is the message of rebelling to the idea everyone has about Spiderman

Talk about nailing it. In this trend of defining yourself, by your trauma is unhealthy. It’s this failure to heal and move on is what’s truly preventing all these guys from reaching their fullest potential. Their guilt made them do something really stupid. It made them betray their friend. Good to know that they’ve learned the error of their ways, but damn. They have a lot of apologies to deliver. Not to mention I can’t help but relate.. Dealt with something similar.

You could argue that Uncle Ben's death is the sacrosanct event necessary to make Spider-Man Spider-Man

Since seeing it, I've felt conflicted over the cliffhanger ending, how quickly the Spider Sanctum turns on him, and the whole idea of "the canon." But then you reminded me of who Miles Morales is in this story. Into was a story about Miles finding his own way to become Spider-Man. Across is about putting his way to the test, against everything we know to be Spider-Man. Thanks as always for your perspective, Sage!

I don't know half the shows you essay but I watch every video. Keep swimming brother

Excellent video and analysis 👌🏾

In addition, I would say it’s principal line goes thru the necessity of approbation and acceptation that we develop as we got older, but clearly movie invites to forget this necessity and be yourself, taking risks, breaking cannon events and follow our own way

Was waiting for your take on this movie! It was so fire bruh 🔥

Yes so happy your talking about this movie!!! The definition of Masterpiece!

Amazing Video, I didn’t think to much about Miles’ arc in this movie but now that I’m thinking about it. His is tragic but at the same time hopeful. The spark that he gives people to try. Peter B. to try and get back M.J. Gwen to go off on her own and start her own band. It’s beautiful. But at the same time he’s currently on his own. Like all spiders end up.

Small correction: it didn’t seem like Peter B. _didn’t_ want to have kids so much as he was just _afraid_ of taking the leap to. Notice how in the first film, he always says “scared” or “afraid” and never “don’t/didn’t want.” If he actually didn’t want kids, it would’ve been much harder for him and MJ to get back together because one of them would have had to make a huge concession.

Theory: The "canon" event that Miguel broke is due to he running away from his responsibility. We can see that Gwen's dad broke his fate by embracing the difficulty of embracing the truth that his daughter is Spidergwen.

everytime i watch a video of yours i just don’t want it to stop man this is phenomenal your work your art the way you really break down things it’s just amazing man. I really connected with Miles in this movie man i’ve watched this movie like 3 times already and i want to go see it again. your content is real special man i appreciate the hours and effort you put into this Sage.

"There's this inherent loneliness when it comes to the idea of Spider-Man. All of the Spider-Men introduce themselves as the 'one and only Spider-Man.' This idea that, on the most grounded level, Spider-Man is the sole hero of New York. And he has to ultimately juggle this incredible responsibility, juggle the few friends that they have, their personal life, and most of the time they don't tell anybody about it, out of fear of getting others involved, hurt, and/or in Miles case, fear of the repercussions." That's what the writers for Invincible, NEVER THOUGH OF when race-swapping Amber from the comics.

In terms of miles trying to defy his destiny, it reminds me of how Naruto defied his destiny

Exactly how I felt thank you for putting this out into the world.

I like that you delve even deeper into this film and that’s what makes this film great that miles goes against the grain and does things his own way

Beautiful video Sage. I think while everyone is trying to predict the outcome of this movie, I'm just wholly focused on the character Miles has and IS becoming. They say that the righteous path is always the hardest and even though some decisions MIGHT have alot at stake, it should never stop you from doing the right thing, or even trying to. Miles is that spiderman who is going to try. While everyone is obsessed with not saving certain people because its a written "canon event" or that there might be an off chance that the universe would perish if they do, Miles is the spiderman who is going to take it upon himself to be the hope for those who apparently "have to" perish. No way home encompasses this so well. Even if its the fate for the villians to perish, if yoi were given that chance to challenge that fate, would you not take it? And thats what Spider Holland did and saved everyone, even his natural enemies. Why? As stated by Tobey Maguires spiderman: "Its what we do". Whatever the outcome of the final movie, Miles has already cemented his legacy as The Amazing Spider-Man. And that he'll come home to his family with a "properly baked cake". The way I see it as well...Miles has the right like any other Spider-Man, to fight for what he wants and loves in his life. For his family, his friends, and even Gwen. Look at what he did for Peter, for Privakhir, and, probably what he'll do for Gwen. He deserves to be the Spider-Man who will try and fight with everything he has. To be the last bit of hope in every Spider-Mans story. In a world where Gwen cannot fall in love without a bad ending, Miles might just give her a good one. No matter what the story is for EVERYONE else, its the hope that should fuel all of these choices. To take that leap of faith regardless of the script. The hope of a good ending is something that is devoid in the spider society. Its written that they will all suffer and that they will all lose someone they love no matter what they do...so why bother fighting? Its "written". To us, its the script, to Miles however...well...."theres a first time for everything, right?" And for Miles sake, since hes the only one willing to try, willing to fight for it, I hope he gets that good ending.

so beautiful

Oh shit he doing spiderverse, SPECTACULAR !!!

Good choice with the sad fire emblem music

The script the screenplay for ATSV...Confirms Miles is an Anomaly. It also calls him a Full-Fledged Spider-Man before Spider-Gwen arrived on E-1610B.

I loved this movie it gave me everything I ever wanted and seeing my girl mayday Parker spidergirl finally adapted in animation makes me so happy that I am super excited to see more of her in the future also yay seeing Miles Morales Spider-Man and spidergwen become a couple in the future is really awesome that I cannot wait for beyond the spiderverse it’s going to be amazing at least in my opinion, also another bonus seeing miles morales Spider-Man prove everyone they are wrong is really awesome and of course another thing i love about this movie is that i got to see peter parker and mary jane have there daughter mayday parker spider-girl and having her help her dad made me so happy that i cannot wait to see her and spider-Gwen try to save Miles Morales is going to be really awesome and badass in my opinion.

Can’t wait to watch another one of these amazingly well crafted videos

This video... is just simply beautiful. When you mentioned the heartbreak miles felt when he just wanted to meet his friends, and peter B and gwen sold him out I remember a edit I saw of that clip just highlighting the pain and betrayal he felt on that scene.

the Next Movie must Conclude the the Other Spider Arcs, B Pete, Noir, Penny, Ham, Patrav, and Hobbie's Arc.

Great breakdown of the film. Only thing I disagree with is his friends have deserted him by the end of the film. Gwen has realized she was wrong for not being by Miles side when he needed her and she along with Peter B are ready to redeem themselves in the next film. Gwen now understands Miles way of being is the right way to live. She's ready to take her leap of faith

YESSSSS I've been waiting for a Sage video about Spider verse since I saw the movie. Absolutely wonderful as always!!

It doesn’t matter how many Spider-Mans there are. As long as all of them stay true to themselves and fight against crime for justice, they all should be able to embrace the arachnid persona. Such beautiful films deserve love.
