1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to a spoiler review. Today, we're talking 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: about Spider Man Across the Spider Verse, So listen to 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: this episode if you too have watched Across the Spider Verse, 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: or for some reason you had no intention to see it, 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: and you want to hear the entire thing spoiled in 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: a short little podcast episode. I am a huge Spider 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: Man fan. I've been sitting with this movie now for 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: a week at the time of recording this, and I 9 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: have just been all Spider Man all week long. If 10 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: you open up my TikTok, it's people breaking down every 11 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: single scene, people freaking out over parts of this movie. 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: So I feel like I've rewatched the entire thing on 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: social media and I've had a lot of time to 14 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: think about what I felt about this movie being such 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: a big Spider Man fan, and I will say I 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: still stand by my four point five at a five review, 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: and by the end of this spoiler review, I can 18 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: finally tell you why. Well, let's break down what this 19 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: entire movie is about. It opens up like we talked 20 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: about in the spoiler Free review with Gwynn Stacy, which 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: I love the visuals in that whole opening scene, but 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: she meets Spider Man twenty ninety nine and Spider Woman 23 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: who are from another universe, and she has the whole 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: encounter with her dad, and you know, the whole thing 25 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: with her is she hasn't been able to tell her 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: dad that she is Spider Woman, and then he finally 27 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: figures it out and he holds the gun up to 28 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: his own daughter and is going to arrest her. So 29 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: after that she's like, I'm out of here. They put 30 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: her dad into this force field and they recruit her 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: and they are trying to solve all these Spider Man 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: related anomalies that are happening across the Spider Verse. And 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the thing that we learned into the Spider Verse is 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: if you are in the world that you are not from, 35 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: you start glitching out and you can't stay there forever. 36 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: You eventually have to go back to the universe where 37 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: you are the one and only Spider Man, and that 38 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: is where you are supposed to live. But the way 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Gwen and Spider Man twenty nine and Spider Woman and 40 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: everybody else in this group of Spider people are able 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: to go into other universe says they have this wristband 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: essentially that keeps them from glitching with this technology. So 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: she's traveling around to all these different Spider Man universes 44 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: and trying to stop things from happening, and you don't 45 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: really find out until later. But then in her journey, 46 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: she finds her way back to Miles's world and goes 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: to see him spend some time with him, which is 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: one of my favorite scenes and moments throughout the entire movie. 49 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: But then she makes the mistake of telling Miles and 50 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: he goes and follows her and then jumps into the 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: portal as she goes into yet another Spider Verse in India, 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: And it's at that Spider verse in India where Miles 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: is trying to prove to all the other Spider people 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: that he is worthy of fighting in the cause and 55 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: helping them out to save all these people, to the 56 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: point where he does something really heroic and goes back 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: to save someone when they are on the brink of death, 58 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: and you think he saved the day and he's going 59 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: to be rewarded for this, but there is an odd 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: tone shift when he does that, and it feels like 61 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: something is wrong even though he saved the day. There 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: you have this crew going to still try and clean 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: everything up and it doesn't feel like he actually did 64 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: something good. Then it shortly after that that you learn 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: through Miles that they are trying to make sure that 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: all these cannon events happen in every single timeline. So 67 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: for the most part, these cannon events are really tragic 68 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: things like Uncle Ben dying, like Aunt May dying. Usually 69 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: someone has to die for a cannon event to happen. 70 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: That makes it so that everything stays in line in 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: the Spider verse, that the certain people who are affected 72 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: by these deaths go on to become Spider Man, and 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: everything stays completely in line. And this is all happening 74 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: while the main villain, Spot is wrecking havoc in all 75 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: these different Spider verses, so they are chasing him, trying 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: to stop him from doing these things, and Spot is 77 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: trying to get stronger and stronger so he can go 78 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: back and defeat Miles because he was offended by what 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Miles told him at the beginning of the movie, telling 80 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: him he wasn't a worthy opponent. This is when Miles 81 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: learns that the cannon event in his world is his 82 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: dad becoming the police chief and then Spot killing him 83 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: as soon as he becomes the police chief. So Miles 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: obviously isn't gonna let his dad die, and it's the 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: heroic Spider Man thing to go and try and save everybody, 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: which is what he's been doing in this movie, which 87 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: is what he's been doing since he became Spider Man. 88 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: And then you have Spider Man twenty ninety nine telling 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: him you gotta let it happen. We are going to 90 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: keep you here by force because you have to let 91 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: this cannon event go off, because you never were even 92 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: meant to be Spider Man. And that's when you have 93 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: to remember that the Miles we know in our universe 94 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: was bit by a spider from Earth forty two, and 95 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: we find out that that spider was not meant to 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: bite him. It got there by accident. It was actually 97 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: supposed to bite a different Miles who lived in Earth 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: forty two, and he was supposed to become Spider Man, 99 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: and the Miles that we know are Miles was supposed 100 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: to become the Prowler. So from all this chaos, from 101 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: all this confusion, Miles is able to escape and go 102 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: back to where he thinks is his home. So there's 103 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: this device that once you get in it, it looks 104 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: at your DNA and sends you back where you came from. 105 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Miles gets in that and we think he is back 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: home in his world, in his Brooklyn, but everything looks 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: a little bit off, and if you pay attention to 108 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: the colors, you will notice it's not the colors that 109 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: our Miles Morales wears, it is the colors of the Prowler. 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: And you find out that in this world, Spider Man's dad, 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: instead of his own uncle, is the one who died. 112 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: And you think that Aaron Davis in this situation, in 113 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: this world is the Prowler, but that's not the case, 114 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: because from the shadows comes another Miles dressed in the 115 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: Prowler outfit, which would have been our Miles. Is real 116 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: fate if everything had happened the way it was supposed 117 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: to do so with that scene, it completely sets up 118 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the second part of this story, and that is why 119 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: I think that the first one is better than the 120 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: second one. Now, there is nothing wrong with this movie. 121 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: It is still, in my mind, an almost perfect movie. 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: But I've told you guys time and time again, I 123 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: just don't like movies being deliberately split into two. And 124 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: that is why I still think that the first one 125 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: is better than this one. It's a more cohesive story. 126 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: The first one doesn't leave you on a cliffhanger. I 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: am not a fan of cliffhangers in movies. I really 128 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: don't like big movies. Being split into two feels like 129 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: a tactic that is meant for TV. Even though we 130 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: knew this was going to be split into two movies, 131 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: I didn't realize it would come at this point the 132 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: best part in the entire movie, and I loved everything 133 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: that was fleshed out and developed in this although I 134 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: do think the first act dragged just a little bit 135 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: so for that reason in the cliffhanger ending, I had 136 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: to give it a four point five at a five, 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: which is still awesome, and compared to all the other 138 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Spider Man movies, it's still, in my mind, the best interpretation. 139 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: I just loved the different take on the struggle to 140 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: become Spider Man, and we haven't seen this before of 141 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: a character who was not supposed to be Spider Man 142 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: but still has those same values, much like Toby Maguire, 143 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: much like Andrew Garfield. He wants to help everybody because 144 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: he believes in the greater good, and that is what 145 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: being Spider Man is all about. But now there is 146 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: a divide between all the Spider people. Are you with 147 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: Spider Man twenty ninety nine and you think, well, these 148 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: things have to happen to keep the world intact, to 149 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: keep all the Spider Man living in a perfectly synced ecosystem, 150 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: Or are you with Miles in the mindset that you 151 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: have to save everybody no matter the circumstances. I and 152 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would be on our 153 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Miles Moralesis side. I just think that's a great struggle. 154 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: It's a great way to divide a bunch of people, 155 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: and it led to an awesome scene of Miles being 156 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: chased by every single Spider person. That was an amazing moment. 157 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: And I think him saying Nah, I'm gonna do my 158 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: own thing is one of the best lines in a 159 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: comic book movie, and it was just so much building 160 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: to that moment. For me, it just came a little 161 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: bit too late in the movie. So that's why I 162 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: think I know so many people. Really, everybody is so 163 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: hype on this movie, calling it not only the best 164 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: Spider Man movie, but calling at the best comic book 165 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: movie of all time. I'm not ready to give that 166 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: title away yet because the way this movie ended, I 167 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: just know that the next installment is going to be 168 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: so much better. And I think of when I first 169 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: saw Infinity War, and I still believe that that is 170 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: a better movie than Endgame, and you think, well, how 171 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: can you like that cliffhanger ending and not like this one. 172 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: That was the final part of that story. It was 173 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: Stanos winning. That was the end. It didn't have to 174 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: be a good ending, but it was still an ending 175 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: to that chapter. Endgame picked up from that low moment 176 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: and tried to fix that, but that story could have 177 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: ended there. I don't really think that was a cliffhanger. 178 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: It was just a bummer ending that continued on to 179 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: a different story and Endgame. We could have not got 180 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Endgame and just had Infinity War and thought, man, they 181 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: really left us on a low note. But sometimes that's 182 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: how life works out. With this movie, it ends on 183 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: the cliffhanger of discovering that this Miles in this Earth 184 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: forty two is actually the Prowler, and then it's like ah, 185 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: then it's over. That is the cliffhanger ending. So I 186 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: believe it is different in this case. But luckily we 187 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: don't have that long to wait because the next part 188 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: comes out on March twenty ninth, twenty twenty four, which 189 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: is pretty soon, so I'm okay with that. The other 190 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: thing that I found myself enjoying in this movie that 191 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: I kind of feel was a little bit of a 192 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: cheap tactic in Marvel movies now is the cameo. I 193 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: don't want to go watch a movie just because of 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: the cameos. I'm not itching for him. If I like 195 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: Captain America, I don't need him showing up in an 196 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: Iron Man movie. If I'm a fan of ant Man, 197 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't care that he shows up in a Thorn movie. 198 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: I will just watch that character's movies. I don't really 199 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: get the thrill and the hype of just having these 200 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: random cameos. But there is one cameo in this movie 201 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: that I got really excited for for a lot of reasons. 202 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: But it's the scene where Miles is walking through the 203 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: facility with Spider Man twenty ninety nine with Spider Gun 204 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: and Spider Punk, and you see all of these villains 205 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: from all the different universes, and they're all in different 206 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: animation styles. You also see glimpses of other Spider Man too, 207 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: so you see Toby maguire as a live action person, 208 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: you see Andrew Garfield and live action, and you see 209 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: all the cannon events. But I love the part where 210 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: you see all the different villains, like Rhino, like the 211 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: Green Goblin. They're all just there. But the one I 212 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: freaked out about because it was a cameo I had 213 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: been waiting for it was Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino 214 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: as the Prowler and Childish Gambino has a long history 215 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: with Spider Man movies dating back to his time in Community, 216 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: dating back to about twenty ten where this internet campaign 217 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: got started around the time where they were casting for 218 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: The Amazing Spider Man, which the role ended up going 219 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: to Andrew Garfield, but somebody on Twitter put up a 220 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: picture of Donald Glover photoshopped into Spider Man. He saw it, 221 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: retweeted it and started a campaign called Donald for Spider Man, 222 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: and it got some pretty good tractions. Maybe I'm your hero, 223 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: Donald spider Man. He has done all the things that 224 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: I would love to do. He started out in the 225 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: very early stages of YouTube with Derek Comedy. He went 226 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: on to be a writer on thirty Rock, which led 227 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: him to being a cast member on certain episodes of 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: thirty Rock. From there he branched out into more movies, 229 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: got more into the mainstream in community on NBC, but 230 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: was also doing stand up and doing music with Childish Gambino, 231 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: but has now become a big movie star. It was 232 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: freaking Lando in the Solo movie. He was a voice 233 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: actor in The Lion King, and he is just one 234 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: of my favorite I wouldn't say I don't even just 235 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: consider him an actor. He is just an entertainer who 236 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: does it all. And at the time that that internet 237 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: campaign was getting some traction, even stan Lee gave the 238 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: Seal of approval on Donald Glover being cast as Spider Man, 239 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: there was just so much hate and uproar of people 240 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: saying there couldn't be a black Spider Man. But then, 241 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: of course what ended up happening. Andrew Garfield got the role. 242 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: But then through that campaign and through that idea of 243 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: there needing to be a black Spider Man, we ended 244 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: up getting Miles Morales. But his first appearance was in 245 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: the Ultimate Comics Fallout number four, which was published in 246 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: August twenty eleven. So you may think that every comic 247 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: book movie that gets made has source material. Maybe dating 248 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: back to the early days of Marvel, dating back to 249 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: the forties, fifties, and sixties. Not the case with Miles Morales. 250 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,359 Speaker 1: He is a relatively new character. So from that campaign 251 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: of trying to get Donald Glover to be Spider Man, 252 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: we got Miles Morales. Donald Glover even voice Miles Morales 253 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: in an animated series of Spider Man. And then when 254 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: Marvel was making Spider Man with Tom Holland, Kevin Feige said, 255 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: we got to get Donald Glover in this movie. So 256 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: if you remember back to Spider Man Homecoming where Peter 257 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Parker is trying to discover in that movie where all 258 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: of these dangerous weapons are coming from using this very 259 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: futuristic technology, there is a scene where he meets Donald Glover. 260 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: And in that movie, Donald Glover is playing Aaron Davis, 261 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: aka Miles Morales's uncle who goes on to be the 262 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Prowler and into the Spider Verse. And in that scene 263 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: he even references having a nephew. I think in the 264 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: deleted scenes he actually calls the Miles And now Sony 265 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: is also developing a movie with Donald Glover as the Prowler, 266 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: so it all came full circle in this cameo That 267 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: is why it meant so much to me. So I 268 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: don't normally get hype about random cameos, but the smile 269 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: that went across my face when I saw Donald Glover 270 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: as the Prowler, I was so happy. Another thing that 271 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: was announced in the week that this movie has been 272 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: out is that the next Chapter will be the final 273 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: installment of Miles Morales, at least in this capacity, and 274 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: they are also now green lighting a live action Miles 275 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Morales movie. The only thing that worries me about that 276 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: is when it comes to the rights of Spider Man, 277 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: which Sony still owns. They only license him to Disney 278 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: to be a part of the MCU, which is a 279 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: really expensive deal. But the fate of Spider Man still 280 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: lies in Sony, and although they haven't really fumbled the 281 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: bag when it comes to live action Spider Man movies, 282 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: they just haven't really got it right with any of 283 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: the side movies. I love Venom, sometimes even more so 284 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: than what attracts me to Spider Man. The character is 285 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: all of his villains, Venom being my favorite villain of 286 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: all time, the look of him, the backstory, everything about 287 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: Venom is what I love about comic book stories and 288 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: getting that Tom Hardy version wasn't exactly what I was 289 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: looking for with my favorite villain. And don't get me 290 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: started on what they did with Morbius, Doctor Mobius. It's 291 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: Morbon time. So I just hope that they don't mess 292 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: up a live action Miles movie, and I hope they 293 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: do some justice with Donald Glover as the Prowler. And 294 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: I still believe that every superhero movie should be a trilogy. 295 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: So I would rather them go out with three movies 296 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: being absolute bangers and not trying to keep cranking these 297 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: movies out because they are their most popular franchise now 298 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: because they are doing so well, because everybody loves these movies. 299 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: The animator said, they are tired, we are exhausted. We 300 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: can't keep making these movies. So I appreciate all of 301 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: the detail they put into this movie. If you look 302 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: at every single frame, there's something hit and in every 303 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: single aspect of this movie. The spider Man ice Cream 304 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: is one of the Spider Man in this movie. That 305 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: is next level. So I do want to go watch 306 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: this movie again, at least one more time in theaters, 307 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: But as soon as this thing is available for us 308 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: all to watch it home, I'm gonna be rewatching every 309 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: single second, every single frame of across the Spider Verse. 310 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: So that was really the only things I held against 311 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: this movie was the cliffhanger ending, making the story feel 312 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: a little bit incomplete, But I get it was supposed 313 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: to be a two parter from the very beginning. Maybe 314 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have held that against this movie. But also, 315 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: the soundtrack in this one wasn't as good as the 316 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: first one. I loved how the first one blended music 317 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: in the movie a little bit better than this one. 318 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: I mean Sunflower in the first one, in that scene 319 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: of Miles actually interacting with the song, I felt like 320 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: that had a better tie in than any song in 321 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: this movie. But I will say they both provided us 322 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: with some iconic Spider Man moments. But I am saving 323 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: my five at a five rating for what I think 324 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: will come to us and Beyond the Spider Verse again. 325 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: That is coming out next year March twenty ninth, twenty 326 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: twenty four. So thank you for listening to this spoiler 327 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: edition of my Into the Spider Verse review. I could 328 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: honestly go and on and on and on and on 329 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: and on about Spider Man, but I will leave you 330 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: with that. So thank you for listening, and until next time, 331 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: go out and watch good movies and I will talk 332 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: to you later
