- We are proud to officially debut #TheSpiderWithin: A Spider-Verse Story, in partnership with the #KevinLoveFund and the education initiative, #TheHeroWithin. Because everyone is going through something, even superheroes like Miles.
Sony Pictures Animation has teamed up with the Kevin Love Fund to digitally release the animated short film, The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, that will be incorporated into the Kevin Love Fund’s new mental health focused lesson plan, “The Hero Within.” The lesson plan invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum including a creative storyboard activity. Visit kevinlovefund.org for additional information.
To access the free lesson plan that accompanies “The Spider Within” film, visit kevinlovefund.org/spider-man-...
In the genre-bending thriller The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend, and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. After a particularly challenging day living with these pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.
The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story was developed and produced in the inaugural year of Sony Pictures Animation (SPA) and Sony Pictures Imageworks’ (SPI) Leading and Empowering New Storytellers (LENS) program, a 9-month leadership training program that provides candidates from underrepresented groups with an opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience in animation. The final deliverable of the program is an all-original short film, set in the existing world of a feature produced by SPA and SPI.
The LENS program is backed by Sony Pictures Entertainment’s global, multi-pronged racial equity and inclusion strategy, Sony Pictures Action. The program’s goal is to provide creatives who have traditionally lacked access to leadership roles with a first-hand opportunity to deepen their understanding of every element of the animated filmmaking process including production design, animation, visual effects, lighting, sound, and various post-production processes. Through the program, participants strengthen their ability to effectively articulate their film’s creative vision and collaborate across a variety of disciplines.
The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is directed by Jarelle Dampier and written by Khailia Amazan, and produced by LENS program creators Michelle Raimo-Kouyate and David Schulenburg. Rounding out the inaugural LENS team are Clara Chan who served as VFX supervisor and Joe Darko who served as animation supervisor.

that moment when his spider sense goes off and there’s nothing there? Such a powerful, interesting way to visually depict anxiety for this character.
when
@@brozu812:33
@@brozu812:29 👍
Honestly that's a freaky detail because I've never known the Spider Sense to raise a false alarm so it really speaks to the level of panic he's feeling in that moment.
As an anxious person since childhood, this whole clip was such a spot-on depiction of how it can feel at its worst. So well done
They absolutely cooked with the sleep paralysis design. No creepy monster or anything, but rather your silhouette with glowing eyes, standing there
Yep, creepy at all 😭
It would be scarier if we were the ones experiencing it
@@AssassinJay I’ve experienced sleep paralysis before and my current method of dealing with it is to just forcefully wake myself up forcefully. Or it may be a nightmare idk, but I just force myself awake then sleep and rinse and repeat until I finally get a good roll.
I experienced that sh1t twice, but before that, I was actually aware of that issue so I didn't open my eyes, it was scary as hell, trying to move my body but I felt I was tied to my bed, I felt a pressure in my chest that gave me the feeling of not breathing properly, and all I could hear was some kind of distorted noise, I wonder what I could've seen if I had open my eyes💀
If it happens to you, don't be afraid, just deep breath and close your eyes. It'll fade away sooner, It helped me a lot🫡
In fact, I'm hoping it happens to me again. The next time, I'll open my eyes 😂
@@labbit3574how do you forcefully wake youself up from it?
This is the single best portrayal of anxiety I have ever seen in media. It starts off small, you spend an hour just spacing out, staring at a spot on the floor, you crawl into bed, end up a crying mess while not knowing why, then finally talking to someone. Fantastic job.
Im glad to see such a good family being pushed in mainstream, seems like alot of superhero tropes is dead parents or just terrible parents.
But miles trusting his dad is just so insanely wholesome
@itsmikfrbro just stop nobody cares
@itsmikfrwhere is it?
Same dude. Not every hero needs a said or dysfunctional family.
@itsmikfr sounds terrible🗣
Miles: I’m buggin.
Nightmare: and you see, I just couldn’t let that slide.
"and I took that personally"
your not funny
@eletraf
no one likes you
shut up
2:29
I like the way his anxiety is depicted by his spider-sense pulling a false alarm.
Best part of this whole short for me as far as depicting anxiety. What an amazing way to portray that using spider-man
It's saying "The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!"
And it's crazy because it's like we do have somewhat of a Spidey-sense that tricks us, too. We don't notice everything, but we get those gut feelings and most of the time, it plays us. Or is that just me?
as someone with anxiety, this was a perfect way to portray it!
How can you tell what the spider sense is like saying
The relationship with miles and his dad has always made me cry in each movie, the way that they both seem to seclude themselves and their emotions unless one or the other really needs them to listen or talk to them. I love the relationship there and how its been built, reminds me of my father. I hope that miles is able to save him in the next movie.
Seeing them interact with eachother always makes me cry, I wish I had dad like Miles..
Miguel’s wrong. Miles is an anomaly he’s Spider-Man, our Spider-Man. No matter what it takes, Miles will find a way back to his Earth, save his father and stop spot. Even if it means he has to take on Miguel or the whole Spider-Society, he’ll win.
Jeff is one of the best comic dad's.
@@raymondmaciel4047No miles isn't an anomaly he is spider man even before the alpharex incident his spider got summon and even if spider would have to stop that his spider was still suppose to be here
Miles might be the most relatable and down to earth superhero weve had in years. Everyones had nights like this where they feel weak and powerless and afraid and its represented do well here.
Miles: "Nah, I'm buggin"
The Spider Within: "Lmao, say less."
I have triple ball
Miles: I won’t step on another spider again!
Jeff: Sorry 😢
I think the spiders are doubting 😅
The Spider Within: “And I took that personally.”
Miles: « Nah, im buggin »
The spider within: « I’m an arachnid, dumbass »
Lmao 😭😭
Erm actually arachnids are still considered bugs ☝🏾🤓
My volume was low, so I heard “nah, F it”
@@UshankadMenace-ti9xi I thought I heard the same thing.
Nah, I'd bug
i love how it delves into the mental/psychological effect stress can have on people. this shows awareness for those struggling with mental health and anxiety, this is how it feels.
in one of my own stories this is a major theme. Like its a team of magical girls and not a true deconstruction as their being normal heroes and the like but under the surface theres all these demons they are fighting andtheleader most of all but shes trying to be the rock for her team while she herself spirals deeper and deeper into a bad place
I love how they conveyed the idea of him having a panic attack without being completely straightforward. All his thoughts building up and him recalling the events of the day (which is normally a trigger), feeling like he can' t move, the sleep paralysis creature pushing down on his chest (like when your chest tightens and you can't breath), the swift swaying motions? The colours? The music?. This is amazing.
With the trope of superheros always having bad or dead parents, it's nice to see Miles' father actually be there to support him.
I mean...until the next movie
@@teamtoons7478We don’t know if he’s actually going to die. Miles is still trying to save him he has til next day. It’s still night time in the story.
**Spot Theme Intensifies**
me when uncle aaron
In the comics, Miles dad is dead. I don't actually think he'll die in the next film, but if he does, it'll be heart-wrenching
Puss In Boots: praised for it’s panic attack sequence.
Spiderverse: hold my beer
No still DreamWorks rocks brah
Both. Both are good.
fr
I personally think PIB did it better, but this way to portray it was waaay more creative, so extra points for that! They’re both good.
Both were good in their own way tbh
One thing I love about Miles in comics is ever since he got put in the 616 universe and got both his parents back, writers have been more willing to get vulnerable with the character. And he always has a support system to go to in his parents and Peter (especially once his parents learned about him being Spider-Man). It's great to read when he starts feeling overwhelmed with everything and can call his parents for support or is willing to ask other heroes to pick up the slack so he can take a breather.

It hurt so bad to see him reject his dad like that when he put in all that effort, and then I realized I’ve done that before. This was fantastic.
Yeah, the things we took for granted and realized too late 😢
@@soulscyther666 Yeah it sucks that life always seem to go that way. 😔
My dad passed away 7 years to the day 😢there are so many things I wish I could say to him
Nah fr, Miles and Jeff's relationship is like 1:1 me and my dad's. Like I really wanna be closer, but we're just so different that it can be hard to connect sometimes, but at the end of the day we always got each other.
And then his dad without missing a beat pauses what he's doing and take scare of his son.
Miles: Nah, I'm buggin'
Spider Within: And I took that personally
@itsmikfrwhat records ?
@@ThatGuy-fh5mtbot
This is hands-down the best representation of anxiety I’ve seen in a while:
The heavy breathing, the intrusive thoughts, the voices, the constant replays of all your perceived failures, the spidey-sense false alarm, the sleep paralysis and the feeling of the world turning an alarming RED around you…
Sums up what anxiety and a loud mind can feel like to live with, especially on a bad day.
Kudos to the team!
Its crazy to sit here and watch this and think "That was me." That was me when i was that age feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders with stress, "friends", future. Feeling like I wanted and needed to talk to somebody but not wanting to talk to somebody at the same time because "Why bother? Nobody cared, so why should I speak to anyone about it? They wont understand and they wont care to even try to understand, so why bother?" Then dealing with that stress myself only to be riddled with grudges and anger and fear. Waking up in the middle of the night every night seeing shadows move and feeling a sense of dread that if I moved an inch or even turned around in my bed and looked behind me something would be there. And that thing that was there was towering over me and if I even just looked at it, even for a second. It would kill me right then and there and there was nothing I could do to stop it... It took years of constant effort to get through it and to recognize what it was I was doing to myself. I consider myself very lucky to be able to do that because most people cant control it or change their thoughts enough to be able to have some kind of normal life. But I can tell it'll be a life long battle for me, because every once in a while i fall back into it and have to recognize what I'm doing to myself and pull myself back out of it. This short resonates with me more than I was expecting today..
bro the bed scene perfectly represents the first time someone experiences sleep paralysis.. anxiety + depression is such an evilish combo
@SpiritOfWisdom11I hope the best for you 💖💖💖
you mean greys
My sleep paralysis fucks me up. Only happened like a dozen times in the last 10 years but it hits me like a truck.
@SpiritOfWisdom11The world doesn’t revolve around what we want to see nor should it. Mental health is something to be worried about for sure but you’re coming off as entitled. If you don’t like it, you literally have the option of clicking off the video. The world doesn’t and shouldn’t cater to you.
@@SceneWins HUGE Oof! there, mate! I really hope it never happens to you again. (Or anyone else I know. The few Night Terrors I had when much younger were more than bad enough and I'd really like to never get to experience Sleep Paralysis myself, cause it sounds so very much worse.
Miles: "I'll never step on another spider again, I promise!"
Spider: "are u sure abt that"
Indeed
Miles is actually the most relatable hero
4:40 "I'll never step on another spider again, I promise" is the best thing I've ever heard
I love how when Miles says "Girls", Jeff looks quickly over, and when he says "well one girl", he turns back calmly
Its like he knows
@@Minetendo_Fan Jeff is really not dumb at all, but when it comes to his son's life he's going to be both at least somewhat suspicious and protective but also very cautious about being judgemental at all of Miles until he has at least some proof.
He's a great dad, and a really wonderful, heartwarming outlier to the way that African American fathers are all too frequently shown in the media. He's almost certainly got some not too inaccurate suspicions, but unless Miles brings it up he's not going to say a damn thing about those suspicions about what has suddenly taken over all of his son's attention . Which makes it difficult to be as open and supportive as he likely would be if he was certain of the truth about Peter and Miles.
Man, I hope Miles asks Gwen out one day. ❤😉
@@DrBunnyMedicinalyou got me in the first half ngl. Thought you were about to go racists
@@MalckyNex I'd be happy to see that. Of course, it's also likely that she could ask him out instead, and I'd be just as pleased to see that.
Miles: Nah, I’m bugging
Nightmare spider: and I took that personally
I love how at the end he is like.
"Well one girl" referencing the problems he and gwens relationship is having rn
You see this line if humorous as it contains the word bug, like spiders
@PoorWorldwithoutgodDude if your premiere is a week far, sorry but nobody gives a shit
@@DavidKalu-ho5msYes and the word bugging means to be hallucinating. And a spider is a bug. Very good.
Because he's not a bug!
The attention to detail is absolutely incredible. His anxiety was so well depicted, I could FEEL it through the screen. And the way he was breathing is an actual breathing technique used to calm down. 👏
bro left us with a cliffhanger and then made this as a apology? i accept it
5:51 Miles: "Homework, girls....Well, _one_ girl..."
Bro's a lover boy for Gwen 😭💕
All bro could think about on the spot 😭
Bro misses his girl so much
@@megamatthew75The what.
Bro really really wants her😭
Meanwhile she copulates with Pete
I don't understand how the team behind spiderverse is just incapable of making anything bad. Seriously some of the most talented people alive
Facts
I sincerely hope they stick the landing with the third film
Don't jinx it
the animations of this is still amazing even though its just a short film and its a bit worse but the movie will def be amazing
Miles is so lucky, having a supportive and fun father he have... Not comparing my dad to him, my dad has anger issues but can't blame him because of his past
I don’t know your dad or what he’s been through, but his anger issues shouldn’t be getting in the way of your relationship with him. If it’s feasible, he might want to seek professional help to address them.
That’s a surreal representation of a panic attack, but I feel it man. I know what panic attacks feel like. The suffocation and fear you get is awful. Wouldn’t wish it on anybody, not even my worst enemies (disclaimer: I got none but you get the gist) I’m so glad Miles has family who care and worry about him. I’m glad he has family who wants to spend time with him. It’s refreshing in a universe where superheroes tend to have complicated family dynamics.
With great power comes radioactive sleep paralysis demons.
Pffff!! 😂
Lol
The legendary quote, mixed with this.
Love how anxiety is being talked about nowadays because it wasn’t when I was a kid. It feels better to know you’re not the only one that lives with this nightmare that never completely goes away.
Straight facts
there's anxiety and then there's GAD (general anxiety disorder) which is basically chronic anxiety that affects your everyday life. there is help out there. don't be afraid to reach out to a professional though, even if you don't think it's that bad. there is hope.
They been talking about it…
it adds one more thing to relate to because he's literally every single teenager
I'm in my 30s, you must be much older, cause anxiety was talked about when I was a kid
This is what severe anxiety is. This is what I & many others face every day. Every day our "spider-sense" is going off like crazy. It's a constant feeling of danger & impending doom. We constantly feel as if we're under attack or about to be attacked. Well done Sony, this was a truly accurate & visually stunning depiction of severe anxiety.
I love how emotionally powerful spider-man films are
“These grades are unacceptable. You’re not focused! You need to apply yourself”
This movie hits so hard those exact words have been said to me so many times.
are you a superhero too?
Yes he is. We are all super heroes in our ways but in mine... I'm Batman
They're are right need to focus
@@random_boi511I’m fatman (jk I’m yapman)
and most probably ur parents are right
Jeff listening to Miles' frustrations without a question and making time for a stroll is so wholesome to see.
Miles’s father cares for him.
I shed a slight tear ngl
I want that so badly 😭😭
The foreshadowing of the anxiety with the mirror showing his sleep paralysis demon following him is insane. Such a small detail of what you see yourself as when you're in that state of mind
miles: i cant take it anymore
Nightmare: No ima do my own thing
On a serious note: That depiction of anxiety where he put on the headphones only to find things got *even worse* was the most pitch-perfect thing I've seen in years. I've had anxiety for way longer than I've had it diagnosed, and while headphones can help when there's too much noise, it won't help when it's *coming from inside the house.* It can make you feel so *powerless* , but Miles made the right call here.
On a less serious note: _I wonder if Spiders-Man will show up in Spider-Verse 3?_
Spider's-Man
Why do u put so much bold and italics ur doin too much
Shit that would be horrifying
THIS!!!! I love to use music as a way to calm me down when I'm feeling anxious but sometimes with headphones, it can feel overly stimulating that I just need to take them off. Genius depiction!
When I start feeling anxious like this I exercise really hard until I'm soo exhausted that my mind can't fight against me anymore
OK but for real? Jeff is such a well written father here.
Doesn't force his son to join in for movies despite putting on a very notable amount of effort for the two of them, cause he can see his son clearly wants space.
And when Miles chooses to come to him? he's all ears out the gate.
Uncle ben better
@@representation.Idk. Jeff actually feels well developed and a character. Ben is just an old man you know is gonna die
Both, both are good
@@representation. It's not a competition lol
Its not a competition @@representation.
Always felt proud to make it without a father, but well written stuff like this makes me remember why they're so important.
I really like how they interpretated things like mental health and anxiety and stuff. The fact that Miles' stress between being a hero for the people while also trying to live as a normal kid and stuff is really getting to him, starts making him see things that aren't actually there. The sleep-paralysis demon thing was also done great! Just miles in a room staring at a wall, but a silhouette of himself just staring back at him, that's scary as hell!
Saying he’s okay and then proceeding to slam the door was the most relatable thing ever
So Real 😂😂😂
@@olleselin you're cringe lmao 💀
Real 😂
Yooo, Miles, don't be slammin' my door, man!
@@olleselinnga liked his own comment 💀
One of the reasons Miles is my favorite superhero is because he's portrayed as such a normal person rather than just a super strong superhero with no emotions (other than grief cause name a superhero that doesn't lose someone lol). You never see a representation of anxiety in a superhero that's as real as this, a long with his feeling of not fitting in in the movies, and his simple wish to not have to meet everyone's expectations.
That just who spiderman is.down to earth
that's basically every spiderman
Literally spider-man, home slice
Si, eso es lo que Spider-Man significa
I know everyone is saying "That is just Spider-Man", but really I kinda feel "That is just Marvel".
Marvel has always been written from the standpoint of "Person first, Hero second", trying to show that all of their heroes have actual lives, things that they are responsible for outside of their "Hero Job" and that usually being a hero hurts their "real life".
ugh i love the reactions between miles and his dad. its just so nice to see a parent who seems genuinely concerned and invested in their kids life. sometimes i wish my dad had given me that when i was young,...
this resonated so much with me because i think i just had my first panic attack. i decided to watch youtube to distract myself, and i jumped for joy when i saw this video!! from the very beginning of the video i was thinking, "hey, this is kind of what happened to me.." because ive got 4 projects that im stressing about and presentations i might miss.. i was sitting in the bathroom and crying, came downstairs and hugged my dad and started bawling again. i didnt expect id be seeing my favorite superhero experiencing anxiety and sleep paralysis and having his parents to support him just like mine made me feel so comforted. this came at just the right time and ive never felt more understood. much love to all those who struggle with anxiety!!
4:40 “I’ll never step on another spider again! I promise!” 😂
Think he'll keep his promise?
Probably not
What is the name of that song in the end@@user-mf6um7cc3j
@@sterlingsolomon6832Make it out alive.
Well probably see a reference of this on the spiderman beyond 2
1:30 Dad outsmart his spider sense and got him good is pretty hilarious.
I was thinking it either got mixed up by the horror movie, or that he couldn’t react to it since he was at home, whether that he because he’s in a safe place or just out of caution in case someone’s around.
I felt that his spider-sense didnt go off because his dad wasnt a true threat
@@overstim Feels like it was a combo of all the above. Not a real threat + Horror movie setting expectations + Safe place... it literally didn't go off until the second his dad intended to jump-scare him.
I mean he also got another danger sense when he was in his room alone, so I think his anxiety is just messing with his senses
@@HimitsuHunter Yeah most definitely all the above.
I love that how the bad person in the movie has a similar style to his sleep paralysis demon thing. They both have dark figures & glowing eyes, just a bit of foreshadowing.
I absolutely love the representation of the something which is seen as an ally, giving him his powers being the issue, like its the start of his problems, also being inescapable as they're small and agile , something people fear especially with the idea that you eat a certain amount every year, and that it's starts as a dark reflection you can't hurt, it's perfect, and the callback to when tobey was stressed and dealing with negative issue leading his powers to stop working, genuinely shows the care this series is given, legit 100/10
Gotta love the classic “hero fights his adversary within the confines of his own mind” story
Rapaziada quem tava esperando esse curta lançar?
The 90s Spider-Man TV show reminds this for me
real
even better when the adversary IS his own mind
classic man vs self
Anyone who has suffered from sleep paralysis knows that this is a great representation of stress and anxiety from everyday life can affect anyone to the sleep paralysis state. Being so tired but not knowing if you’re awake or asleep and unable to move seeing a silhouette press down on your chest and your can’t speak or do anything about it, captured it perfectly there. Good job Sony 👏
Like number 420……
as someone with sleep paralysis, i could relate
I needed this comment because this whole thing went over my head lol
If you still suffer from it I have a suggestion
Try to take long breaths and face what you are seeing , helped me , maybe you also
Fr i still suffer from sleep paralysis really relatable
This short film is fricking incredible. This film perfectly tells us about the anxiety miles faces as he takes up da role of spider man. It take place between the 2 movies and it explains the hallucinations miles has in atsv. 16000000000000000000000000000/10
I love all spidermans, but this is special to me. When you grow you forget how it is to be a teenager, he makes me remind a lot of things, how hard it was, how lost you are, how the emotions are so strong. I'm eager to see the next movie, Go Miles! You can do it!!

Who says animated movies are just for kids? The amount of representation for preteen, teenage, and sorta even adult life here is amazing. Jeff is also a great father in this short. And the way Miles was so honest with him straight away in their strole. Wow this was amazing. Seriously, that rumored animated R Rated Venom movie must happen!!!!!
Nobody has said that animated movies are just for kids in decades. Heck, when my mum and I went to go see Across The SpiderVerse in cinemas, nobody batted an eye.
I'm so glad, but then again I also watch actual kids cartoons and enjoy them lol @@ImTooOldForThisNonsense
@@ImTooOldForThisNonsenseThe Oscars introduced the best animated movie category with “something for the kids” like a year or two ago, so sadly ppl still do
@@ImTooOldForThisNonsenseBob Chapek, The CEO of Disney from '20-'22, said animation is just for kids.
That sentiment is more prevalent than you think it is and films like the spider-verse saga are making strides to break it down.

Psyderverse, lending a hand to your mental health. Lovely.
Love to see that even though he pressure of being spiderman hits him ( similar to other spiderman had in the past) he actually talks it out. Actually I good way of showering it.
Man, I love that they made this. It really brings Miles responsibilities and struggles to life, showing why he yearns to associate with other Spider people. It perfectly segways into ATSV
I think this one might be another variant of Miles. The colour of the Spidey sense was pure white unlike OUR Miles.

For those who want to know this was an animated short from a film festaval or at least a short played before the main film. Remember that dream Miles had about being a spider a pooping out webs? Well this is that dream.
Before Across The spider verse?
Because I watched it 2 times In theaters, one time being 1st day 1st show, I didn't see this
ooooooo thanks for telling us man, good to know
Miles: Who’s There?

In across the spider verse miles talks to the spot (I think) and says “I had a dream about shooting webs out of his but” and @Jonathan_Collins thinks this is his dream about that line of dialogue.
@@tbg-brawlstars Do you not know what a film festival is?
This is one of those animations that I just couldn’t say I’m too old for. The way they portrayed everything about Miles just hits so hard.

@@IronTiger58 I mean, if you're about to get bitten by a 6 foot spider, I would say the same thing too. But coming out from a Spiderman's mouth, now that's something
Honestly I like the fact that they're showing the human side of a superhuman, reminding us that they still got problems they're challenging just like everyone else
It’s a classic part of marvel characters, and spider-man especially
I like how Marvel always ties their hero’s in with real world emotions, responsibilities and how the world actually works. This is what makes DC worse, they lack all of this. The animation is the best I have ever seen, no wonder the first movie won awards. I’m so sad that the movie was delayed but if it is necessary, I would rather the writers and animators to take their time rather than rush it.
4:24 Honestly that part in particular caught me off guard
I was expecting Kingpin
That’s sweet - he ended up spending time with his dad to help him through anxiety and let his dad know what he’s feeling, allowing him to connect with his son more
I keep telling folks to take advantage of having their parents (in a good way) cause one day.........
Thanks for mansplaining bro;)
Except he basically lied to his father about everything bothering him, or minimized it all to the point of being ineffectual.
Not sure they’re sending the right message with this one. Maybe Spiderman, a guy with a secret identity, a vigilante with a SECRET LIFE, isn’t the best character for this story.
@@Devil-Made for you. For many others, it's probably effective and meaningful.
@@josiff13 comments like yours just make people like you seem so bitter lol. Go get happy, man.
This was probably a deleted scene at some point, but I thought it was too good to just leave as a deleted scene, so they incorporated into this short film. Even if I'm wrong, this was a great way to represent anxiety and panic attacks in a artful way. You literally feel like you're dying. Knowing you have all of this in your head, it's like a coca cola, you shake it up for so much and when youu have enough you just explode because you can't take it anymore

Nice to see Miles finally throw in a pinch of NYC slang with the “I’m buggin'”
I love that even if there's a AAA company behind this, it feels like an indie short film in how authentic and relatable it is
It'd be nuts if this was foreshadowing for a manspider appearance in the final movie. Even crazier if it turns out to be Peter B.
Sleep paralysis is kind of the worst experiences. I loved how they made the interpretation of that feeling. btw in mexico this is called "the dead man is above me"
I noticed how Miles barely got to lay down or before down before being attacked, it kinda shows how even out of being Spiderman and out of being Miles he doesn’t get a break, or at least time to relax
Is a sleeping paralyzis
What he sees, is his paralyzis demon as is called and is followed by Nightmares
@@crowdlycrow3632 Then notice how Miles barely even got any sleep to begin with, it's like telling him no matter, where he is, or what he is doing, he is doesn't get a break, even in his own sleep
@@koblestone1250 not to mention how its all kicked off with an anxiety attack. The idea is that Miles is being metaphorically eaten up/ovrwhelmed by the responsibilities of being Spider-Man, manifesting in anxiety attacks and nightmares. These are exacerbated by his inability to alleviate the pressure by sharing his secret.
@@koblestone1250 Exactly!!!! You totally got it!! ❤️
the way when his dad asks if he’s okay and that slight little pause, and then with an upbeat tone he says yes! speaks so loud
1:58 In July 2024, it was announced that the Sony Pictures Animation movies The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Vivo and Wish Dragon being released in theaters throughout 2024 in the United States.
I love the little details in this, like the sleep paralisis demon being reflected in the mirror instead of Miles at 1:26, the spider pork figure in the bookcase at 2:34, the fact that the sleep paralysis demon beeing practicaly identical to miles representing the bad part of beeing an spider-man and more stuff that I shure didn't notice!
It feels like we rarely get to see strong, component, and good fathers in their son's lives in the media, especially in stories involving people of color. This seemed very wholesome. Well done.
Agreed, so glad that we're finally moving away from the incompetent bumbling dad archetype or in the case of POC fathers, completely absent from their child's lives.
Family Matters, The Cosby Show, My Wife and kids, One on One, Fresh Prince, The Jefferson, Roc, Good times, New York Undercover, Bernie Mac, Craig Up the Creek, Smart Guy, Proud Family, and of course Everyone Hates Chris. Is the ones I can name.
@@babytoshiro7014 not a person of colour, but bandit from bluey is a pretty great dad
But he’s also goofy and enjoys pizza and ice cream nights. I wish my dad could lighten up but he’s a vet so the most we got was the pizza and ice cream
I have seen a lot, so maybe you are not watching the right kind of media.
also, every human being is ''of color''. we are all shades of brown mixed with red. if you want to refeer to ''black people'' (black is not a color, by the way), then just say it. don't try to make a monolith of brownish people.
Miles laying on the bed with wide eyes staring at the ceiling probably thinking "Why am I doing this" is peak cinema. All that weigh of growing up and living up to the mantle and trying to brush it off just to sink deep is such a great and believable reaction. This is why I love this character, he just feels real and not a cringe quip machine.
Are you calling Peter a cringe quip machine
nah , he is boring & cringe af
@@AG-sj4om I think that everyone in Spider-Verse is well written. What I was comparing Miles to is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
@@11porfo okay right I thought when u said “he feels real and not a cringe quip machine” you were implying that Peter is one which would be nonsense. I agree the mcu has become that since after end game
Thank you for your input, Sans Croagunk
I love this and how serious it is but I also love how they still put room for humor with that "I'll never step on another spider again I swear"
this is what i absolutely love about spiderman and especially this miles one. this character is soooo relatable and the ending is just cherry on the top with just going ahead and letting it all out cuz anxiety, overwhelmingness is something every teenage faces, the only mistake is that they dont share it and this short was sooo relatable and amazing. loved ittt
I love how this puts into perspective not only how much of a psychological burden being Spider-Man and having all that responsibility while needing to keep it all secret and bottled up really is, but also the pain he felt in Across the Spider-Verse when he found out his friends, in his eyes the only people in literally all the universes he feels he can talk to, all abandoned him. He puts his life on the line every single day while trying to balance his every day life and keep his family safe by emotionally pushing them away and keeping secrets, then he finally gets to meet all the people he thought he could rely on and trust again and finds out they chose not to visit him for years.
Man I love the character work in these movies.
Well not for years just a few months but the point still stands
Okay, let's do this one last time. My name is Miles Morales. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the last year and four months, I've been Brooklyn's one and only Spider-Man, and things are going great
You kids an your feelings.Just can't stop talking about them!!That's why y'all can't take shit an are soft as baby shit!!
Fr then people think Gwen is overhated lmao
It’s actually heartwarming to see miles’ father support him when he’s down.
Miles: I'll never step again in another spider I promise
Spider:(screeching sound)
4:40 “ I’ll never step on another spider again I’m sorry!” Is amazing
I just noticed when Miles enter his house, you can see the dark silhouette of him in the mirror's reflection. I love those little details. It shows the other side of Miles and how he feels inside.
good catch
Can't see it :/
It’s around 1:28 right?
@angelicab9016 yea right when he walks in front of the mirror
damn that’s a good detail
“I’ve just got a lot on my mind. Homework, girls, well, ONE GIRL.” OMGGGG
Mango AKA spider byte
This was before that 💀@@IronheartvsMiles
@@IronheartvsMilesBlud didn’t even say her name right. “Mango”.
@@IronheartvsMiles🤡
@@IronheartvsMilesthis was before that, also *Mango* 😐
It’s literally Gwen also
Miles and Margo interacted for like 2 minutes 😒
I Love the Ample Time that was taken behind the animation. It is truly a ton of work. The Team in Sony Pictures Played their roles with precision.
Watching this movie made me realize that when The Spot got an upgrade, it made Miles have nightmares the same or probrably worse than this.
This felt like a mix of Sleep Paralysis and Panic Attack. Sleep Paralysis is where you see a monster in your "dream" and you know you can't do anything at all, having absolutely no strength, and having like a whole planet smashed onto your chest. Its a really good short film that sends the message about how sometimes its fine to ask for help, and sometimes we have to do better to offer help to those who might need it
Sleep paralysis is when your body is still in a sleep state while your mind is awake. The reason you can’t move is because your body restricts motor function while you’re sleeping to stop you from moving around as you dream.
The “demon” comes from the chemicals in your brain that would normally let you dream being used while you’re awake, causing a hallucination. The often frightful nature is just a side effect of the fear and unease that comes from not being able to move.
no shit, dawg, just enjoy shit without analyzing it.
My exact thoughts while watching this short film!!!
@@donda3545 Bold of you to assume I didn’t enjoy while analysing it.
@@Rebecca_George I guess you could say that at the start was him witnessing it as a human. Which further explains why it just looks like Miles. Overtime as he moves more and more freely, especially the fact he climbs and uses his power, his demon starts to turn as the Spider. 2 Conflicting demons. Him facing as Miles, and the other facing as Spider-Man. Maybe that explains how he’s slowly able to move freely during the “sleep paralysis”
I have had several panic attacks in the past and I can completely relate to this. The feeling that you are pushed down on your chest into an abyss, increased breath, crazy heart rythm, wanting to run from corner to corner but being boxed in, losing control, ... It's all there.
Same, I had one when I was driving and almost crashed into a wall, the heaviness and the feeling of walls closing around me, this film depicts that perfectly
this
You know with *great ability* comes *great accountability.*
Okay but seeing Miles reject his dad’s movie might hurt me bro lol
The panic miles feels at losing his father has so much more weight now 🥺
Whoever made the idea of Miles' nightmare when he sees dark shadows of himself. Deserves an Oscar from giving us big goosebumps.
New version of miles to rizz up? 😏
It's true bro
you get oscars for acting
Yes lets make oscars even more of a joke than they already are. Great idea.
Its miles heartless (yes KH reference)
Love how the spider and the dad are exclusively in this short knowing they'll play an important role in the third film.
"Are you ok son?"
"Yeah, I'm good."
I don't even have anxiety but I still say that every day. I'm a good liar, that's for sure.
This has to be one of the best pretrials of a panic attack since Puss In Boots The Last Wish.
