Come anticipate animated Miles Morales in SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE with me

https://youtu.be/WvIphseK3pA

Great interview with the directors.

Ordered this print from Bottleneck Gallery. Glow in the dark bonus to a cool image for a Spidey fan. Nice when they have timed runs, printing as many as ordered, versus a limited run that seems to sell out in minutes.

it's sold out

Yeah, shoot. Came here thinking I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but no.

this is a perfect movie, isn't it? i might need to see it again to make sure

as i went on at length about upthread there are about 2-3 minutes, right before the emotional climax, of daddy issues that they apparently felt the need to shoehorn in there in order to tick a scriptwriting box - guys, hint: it's not the dad who needs to learn to to say i love you to his son, it's the other way around! - but apart from that i pretty much agree

STFU with this dad-ass bullshit, he needs to learn to have empathy for his son, and not to top-down impose his idea of what The Kids These Days live with based on his own experience

well, like i said, shoehorned

it's minor though

and it’s a huge point at the climax that Miles does indeed learn to say I love you to his dad

you’re gonna be in trouble when yr kids are 13 if you’re so “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE FATHERS???!” already, at a rad cartoon

haha no no sorry, I'm saying it was all unnecessary. there was nothing that needed fixing in their relationship. but in a movie script something always has to Get Fixed in order for the hero to realise their true potential etc

Well, a case could be made that his relationship with his father *is* good, but it's the imposition of spider-problems that, for the first time and for a few different reasons, cuts off the line of communication in a healthy relationship. The movie could be seen as his (Miles) struggle to retain his identity when fate is forcing him to be someone he's not. He spends the entire time more or less getting Spider-splained, right up until that scene when he is literally tied and gagged, and it's only the final ignominy of being unable (literally, not figuratively) to speak with his dad that forces him to become his own Spider-man. That is, a Spider-man that above all else wants to keep it *real* - with Brooklyn, tagging, his school, his cool uncle, a dad who is spider-man dubious - while fighting against the forces trying to make it unreal (superpowers).

Dads are bad
Kites are fun
This derail is dumb
I want gum

How is it a derail? I'm saying it's not a flaw of the film, which was even better the second time, but a further take on a central theme.

don't mean you specifically, was talking about the "daddy theme" derail before yours

i was speaking to the point of this being a "perfect movie" and explained why i think it isn't! maybe i should have started a new thread..

I vote perfect.

Or at least as good as Paddington 2.

checks out

Wait, Paddington 2 was good?

Very good tbh

And I have v little patience for kiddie shit

paddington 2 and paddington 1 are both great.

Yeah, they really are.

Paddington 1 is v good, Paddington 2 is perfect

Loved both movies but I found the end of P2 really stressful (not including the prison dance sequence). It was like the Passion of Paddington! I needed another five minutes of toothbrush jokes or something to bring me down from the ceiling.

finally got around to seeing this and yeah it's fucking magical, loved everything about it, every frame is bursting with invention and it nails the heart of every single one of the spider-men (and spider-gwen!) it puts onscreen

otm

oscar isaac was spider-man 2099?!?

Paddington 2 was indeed good

Oscar is essentially a cameo after the credits.

exactly!

You people are a bunch of worthless pieces of shit for not emotionally preparing me to see "Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse."

A MOTHER FUCKING THREAD

Idly browsing some article about Gerard Way after watching Umbrella Academy on Netflix, and it turns out that the dude also created Peni Parker. o_O

(iow MCR continues to be the most important band in the world.)

sorry i guess this was prob known to comics fans - i just thought it was cool.

I didn't know - if asked I would've guessed that he was DC exclusive, what with him curating the 'new Vertigo' imprint for them.

holy shit how amazing is this

:)

t/s: this or isle of dogs. i can't decide tbh

uh

sorry i hate it when people do that but seriously

Paddington 1 is v good, Paddington 2 is perfect

marginally prefer 1 but both are 10/10

Spider-Verse > Paddington 1 > Paddington 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Isle of Dogs

unfair on isle of dogs but otherwise yes correct perhaps

anyway back on topic this movie absolutely killed on every level possible

Post Malone was unnecessary and the quote at the end was fucking repugnant, but otherwise yes

watched it again last night, enjoyed it even more the second time around - so much incredible physical comedy in this, from big broad strokes like miles getting pigeons stuck to his hands as he careens around the outside of the school and the ‘kid dressed as spider-man dragging a homeless corpse’ train sequence to the little things like the ‘BAGEL!’ sound effect and the aforementioned spider-ham smashing a plate over his own head moment that is so fucking funny

they do such a great job of making the prowler of all people, a solid c-lister at best in the comics, actually scary too

it’s pretty much perfect

Post Malone was unnecessary

post malone is always unnecessary

eh, the guy just died. I don't think a dumb quote is "repugnant" (and I'm well aware of Stan's crimes)

the guy in the next slide just died too
