Since the MCU rules have elegantly been designed to include anything Marvel in some way. Looks amazing!

I saw this tonight and... IT... IS... EPIC!! 10/10. No, 11/10! Spectacular movie and an incredible sequel to Into the Spider-Verse.

Only one thing I kinda didn't like:

"TO BE CONTINUED..."

Ugh, for real, guys?? Well, this had better not take another five years, alright?!?

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

I had a similar reaction until I read that it's March 2024 (currently anyway).

When I saw this film, the audience in the theater was not happy about the spoiler.

I liked the film. It has interesting characters, and I enjoy the variety of Spider-Beings.

For those who have not seen the film yet, there is no mid-credits or end-credits scene, so you do not have to watch the credits if you do not want to.

I have one recommendation for those who have not seen this film yet. I do not understand why someone would pay to see a film on a screen measured in feet (or meters) only to sit far away from the screen. When I go to a theater, I prefer to sit at a distance from the screen approximately equal to the screen's width. This normally works, but this film is an exception. The artwork in many of the scenes were made to look like panels in a comic book. Comic books often have texturing that look good when viewed from a normal distance but look off when, say, looking at a panel through a magnifying glass. Sitting too close to the screen is like looking at a panel through a magnifying glass. I found a lot of this to be distracting. If you are like me and normally prefer to sit close to the screen, I recommend making an exception for this film and sitting farther back.

I will put the rest of my thoughts in spoiler tags.

SPOILER: Click to show

I think that if this film were called Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse — Part I, there might not have been so much grumbling in theaters about the film ending on a cliffhanger. However, I did not hear grumbling at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, which did not have a Part I in its title. Another part of the problem may be that Avengers: Infinity War ended on a natural break, whereas Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ended in the middle of a scene.

I hope that the third film in the series—Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse—does not become a case where rules for how the setting works are laid out only for them to be broken. If the rules can be broken easily, what is the point? I would be OK with a bit of a subversion, such as the death of Earth-42's Jeff Morales being the canon event.

Miguel O'Hara had terrible people skills. What did he expect Miles to do after learning that a police captain close to Miles (presumably his father) was fated to die? I also never got the feeling that O'Hara knew what he was talking about when discussing anomalies. How did someone with such terrible skills become the leader of all the Spider-Beings?

Why are so many Spider-Beings hanging out at the fancy headquarters? It seems to me that they should be home with their Aunt Mays or hanging out with their Gwens/Mary Janes or, perish the thought, fighting crime in their home dimensions. Could this be because the ones that we saw were only a tiny fraction of all the Spider-Beings across the Spider-Verse?

Are all Spider-Beings really OK with other Spider-Beings losing uncles/police captains/Gwens/etc.? I know that it was a gag scene, but it was clear that the loss of an uncle was very traumatic for the Spider-Being getting therapy. It seems to me that Spider-Gwen should have easily recruited far more Spider-Beings than the ones she had at the end.

I like the pun in Spider-Byte's name.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
