God that trailer's tasty.

I just hope it has the same glee to it the first one did, not sure how I feel about so much teenage angst
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 06:57 (one year ago) link
...it's Spider-Man!
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 20:04 (one year ago) link
I mean the trailer ends on a joke about how everyone knows he's dealing with trauma.

Wow..just incredible leap forward

zero percent chance i ever remember which movie is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and which is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Yeah it’s like they looked at the three MCU Spidey titles and said the proverbial “hold my beer…”
― Day 1 fan (morrisp), Friday, 2 June 2023 03:20 (one year ago) link
oh yeah "No Way Home" vs "Far From Home" may be worse
― ✖, Friday, 2 June 2023 03:24 (one year ago) link
is there some significance to the three movies having the word 'Home', like names of storylines from the comics? baffled why they would title three movies so similarly. and yes, the animated ones are no better
― Vinnie, Friday, 2 June 2023 03:35 (one year ago) link
Anyway having just seen Across, absolutely fucking ruled, no notes, see it immediately.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 2 June 2023 04:00 (one year ago) link
Hells yea. Every little detail was wonderful
― the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Friday, 2 June 2023 04:03 (one year ago) link
Important note for those so inclined: no after-end-credits sequence, but do stay through the initial credits for the impressionistic bit, it's quite good.
Every little detail was wonderful
I am just amazed at the perfect simplicity of the bagel joke in the first one essentially making everything else happen -- that's butterfly theory for you.

My son is watching it w his brother and a couple of friends today.. v jealous (I have to work)

We still talk about the "BAGEL!" moment
Watched the first one again with my daughters the other day - they still tear up when Miles' uncle dies. For all that it's sensationally designed and hilarious, has an underappreciated emotional heft imo.
― Piedie Gimbel, Friday, 2 June 2023 09:34 (one year ago) link
Oh boy does that play out here too.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 2 June 2023 12:29 (one year ago) link
tbh I wish every remaining Marvel film would take a few notes
― the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Friday, 2 June 2023 13:22 (one year ago) link
also I want a book of the art of this movie.
I thought it was weird that Miles' uncle kept calling himself "Biff" in the last act.

This was absolutely glorious to experience in a theater full of people who were too young to experience The Empire Strikes Back in first run

That's a damn good comparison! (When I saw it the other night there were a few teens down the row and they were definitely going through things at the end a bit.)
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 4 June 2023 00:10 (one year ago) link
soooooooo goodseriously i can feel like i'm watching groundreaking animation history in real-time during these films
― Nhex, Sunday, 4 June 2023 03:01 (one year ago) link
loved every frame of this, what an incredible, joyous extension of the events, themes and visuals of the first moviethe opening 10 mins or so on gwen’s earth are just astonishingly beautiful
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 4 June 2023 13:13 (one year ago) link
I was confused about something (spoilers?) .....So Miles lives in a world where there already is a Spider-man, but then he gets bit by a *different* radioactive spider that's been wandering around? Where did the other spider come from? Nbd, I loved this, just was a bit confused.― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 16 December 2018 17:03 (four years ago) bookmarkflaglink
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 4 June 2023 13:15 (one year ago) link
so the scene where gwen (and invisible miles) investigate the spot’s crime scene using only the word ‘shoot’ was def a reference to the scene in the wire where the bunk (and visible mcnutty) investigate a crime scene using only the word ‘fuck’, right?
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 4 June 2023 13:17 (one year ago) link
a few more thoughts:loved the spider-man 2099 flashbacks being in rick leonardi-vision‘we call these events ASM-90s’ in reference to police captain deaths was my favourite of the many blink-and-you’ll-miss-‘em spidey nerd dropsben reilly had me howling every time he showed up, absolutely perfect
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 4 June 2023 13:28 (one year ago) link
DJP great call on the Empire allusion - that fits perfectly.
Even though there was a ton of exposition, they packaged it in an organic way that felt like fluid storytelling.
So much so that when Miles finds out he's in the wrong universe, you and Miles make the realization at the same time, but also recall the reason WHY it happened at the same time. Brief Chekhov's gun that worked exactly like it was supposed to but Miles, the other Soidermen, and the audience momentarily forget he got hit by a spider from Earth-42 so the machine was always going to send him to THAT universe

I think it comes down to the fact that Spider-Man was coming “home” by being incorporated into the MCU and made by Disney/Marvel’s studio, rather than a separate company. That would help explain why the first MCU-affiliated movie was subtitled “Homecoming”
Similar to Disney/Marvel getting the rights back to the FF and X-Men.
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Sunday, 4 June 2023 14:59 (one year ago) link
i’ll be honest i saw the story beat in neando’s spoiler tags coming as soon as miles decided on his course of action but it didn’t lessen the suspense of exactly how it was going to play out and it was not a disappointment
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 4 June 2023 15:00 (one year ago) link
Yea tbh I don't think it would have been for me either.
It's so character driven that the moments and interactions between everyone matter more than plot devices but the storytelling is game enough that that stuff works too.

re: franchise name theming, it does seem (especially with hints in the latest installment) like they're teeing up for a potential "Home Alone in the Spider-Verse" crossover...
― Philip Nunez, Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:55 (one year ago) link
i enjoyed the confirmation that the one unshakable, foundational aspect of the spider-verse is that jk simmons is always, ALWAYS j jonah jameson

Honest question here -- who was Ziggy Marley's character again? (Seriously, he's in the cast list -- half thought he might be the bodega guy?)
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 4 June 2023 20:39 (one year ago) link
he is!
And voiced by…Ziggy Marley! https://t.co/nqfVFkOMFY— Phil Lord (@philiplord) May 28, 2023

Ha, excellent.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 4 June 2023 21:05 (one year ago) link
I had that excellent "realising at the same time" moment as well - My wife is smarter than me and pointed out that there's a big "World 42" graphic during the Go-Home machine's operation
ben reilly had me howling every time he showed up, absolutely perfect
And of course he's Andy Samberg
I want to believe they asked Bobbie Vylan to voice Hobie Brown.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 6 June 2023 21:50 (one year ago) link
anyone else completely oblivious like me and didn't realize this was two parts? My heart sank when I saw that "to be continued". (but honestly a sign of the movie's quality that 2h20m flew by so fast and that I so desperately wanted to see what happens next.) Like the first, a wonderful movie, and amazing to see on a big screen
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 7 June 2023 12:20 (one year ago) link
There was press about it but I’d completely forgotten until after the movie ended
― Marvel Puzzle Quest is my favorite gasm (DJP), Wednesday, 7 June 2023 12:49 (one year ago) link

Also can't tell if there's a Douglas Adams reference happening there or not.
― pplains, Wednesday, 7 June 2023 13:05 (one year ago) link
i assumed that it was - not sure if it has any grounding in the comics
― rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 7 June 2023 13:24 (one year ago) link
I read no press going in but I knew at around the 100 minute mark that they clearly weren't going to resolve this in one.
