    It's good as a Miles vehicle, it's good for Spot, it's good for visuals and even the music is solid if lesser than ITSV. It's such a fundamental misunderstanding of Peter's responsibility as well as a horrendous use of Ben Reilly as well as a bizarre use for Ben. It's very clearly the writers have favorite Spider characters. It's why Peter, Peni, Ham and Noir get sidelined and are reduced to a minor role and cameos respectively

      It really isn't though. Not in the long run. It just makes him come across less appealing the more they have to bend everyone over backwards to validate him.

          Honestly kind of agree. I've never heard any Miles critique from before he enters the spider society, only after he does.

          The beggining of the movie honestly made me want a solo miles or gwen movie more than a spiderverse film.

          It kinda highlights that Spider-Man is, at its core, street-level. It feels at its best when the highest threat level is only city-wide. It's kinda the same feel I get with DC and Suicide Squad where it's best as a black ops type thing but keeps getting thrown into fighting cosmic shit.

            That just a symptom of popularity.

            Once a fictional character or characters become popular enough, they'll be in narratives where they are fighting or doing things well above their paygrade just because fans will eat it up regardless.

          It’s funny how despite being meant to be a multiverse series, spiderverse is literally at its best when it ignores the multiverse entirely. Hell, into the spiderverse could have completely ignored the multiverse as a concept and just had it be a story about an older, more cynical peter teaching miles how to be a proper spiderman since every other spidey in that film is completely unimportant. It’s almost like making spiderman an multiverse level hero is just making him into an avenger level hero and that some people will blatantly ignore a film’s flaws as long as the animation is good,

            I wish the first movie was about teen Ultimate Peter getting tutored by older 616 Peter with no other multiverse bullshit thrown in. It would be a neat way to show how the Mainline and Ultimate universes mirror each other, while having a plot about a young Pete growing into his role as Spider-Man as the older Pete gets his groove back by seeing a younger version of himself, reminding him of what Spider-Man is all about and going back to the basics, to what matters.

          Pretty much. With how this is going, it'll be either A. Everyone gets what they want at the end, spot is defeated, and canon events no longer exist (which is just lame), or B. Someone has to sacrifice something whether it be someone dying or Miles and Gwen not ending up together. If it's the latter, then there will be backlash without a doubt especially when it comes to shipping considering how many people push those two together.

    Since this seems to be the first sane ATSV thread on here I finally get to ask but did anyone else just feel a lot of the style of the first movie was just lacking in this one. Like the first one had this very urban pop art aesthetic to it but this one just tossed that style all out for flashy colors.

    • 5 months ago
      Anonymous

      Yeah I'd agree with that. I think a lot of that is because the first movie was set entirely in Miles' home dimension so they got a chance to really establish the specific visual style of that, but in ATSV they were jumping between different dimensions so there was a lot of surface-level style changes which meant there was never any focus on any one style.

      I also think they really missed the mark setting Spider-Society in Neuva York and then making it entirely divorced from the aesthetic of the original 2099 comics, big mistake.

    1. Miguel had no reason to tell Miles his dad was going to die. The only reason why this happened was because the dumb writers needed to find some way to move the plot forward.

    2. Miles’ moment when he refuses to adhere to the Spider Society’s mandate isn’t the big win that the writers want you to think. In fact, the whole scene falls apart because Miles’ decision is simply just a foregone conclusion he would have made anyways, instead of a stance that he needed to gradually accept in the face of scrutiny and peer pressure

        I'm trying to keep an open mind to see how part 2 handles things but the canon events thing definitely falls apart under closer scrutiny. I got the impression that they had all these ideas for cool scenes and different spider-man styles but no clear idea of how to tie them all together. It was visually impressive I'll give them that. The multiverse meta stuff falls apart because then you end up wondering why all these heroes who struggle against impossible odds just resigned themselves to fate and didn't look for a way to get a happy ending for everyone. Big offender there was having Peter B. Parker just accept things for so long. I really expected him to point to his daughter as proof against accepting canon events since his interaction with Miles led to him patching up his life and her birth.

        And then there's the behind the scenes issues like the hardcore crunch people had to go through because the head honcho producer/co-writer loved to make granular last minute changes but expected final render level quality due to his inability to visualize based on early stage drafts.

          I'm pretty sure it's supposed to. E.g. like you said, Peter B.'s patched up marriage and daughter only happened because of his experiences in other universes, which "shouldn't have" happened if Miguel's canon events theory is true. What if, "canonically," Peter B. was supposed to be a divorced, childless, middle aged, jaded sadsack? Why hasn't his universe fallen apart yet then?

      I legit think beyond will be the shrek 3 of the 2020s, just like shrek, spiderverse came out at a time where disney was doing pretty bad and was a trendsetter for later films and even culture to a degree, but after two well received films, the third film would end up ruining the franchise’s reputation as a whole, even with a fourth film that attempted to repair the brand and at least end the series pn a good note. While beyond won’t fail for the same reasons as shrek 3, it will most likely fail as their animation practices haven’t been the best, possibly only getting worse over tine, and there is truly no satisfying way to end off the plot across started. It’ll be funny to see if miles and gwen end up like meme characters the same way shrek did

      I mean usually this sort of writing and filmmaking would be mercilessly hammered by critics and audiences for being unfinished and obviously sequel-baity but Spider-Verse toes the diversity line and "owns" the Disneyslop so everyone gives it a pass.

    So, unpopular take. Miles himself isn't the problem
    The problem is they're trying to force a "Spider-Men"/"Spider Family"/"Spider Verse" brand then retroactively figuring out what makes each reskin different.
    The first Spiderverse actually lays a good foundation for Miles as being more cautious and analytical than Peter with powers complimenting that, struggling to take leaps of faith.
    But the Spiders themselves just feel way more artificial than the Bat Family.
