"Depth of field is a printing error in this film." I don't think the significance of that statement can be overlooked. As a pressman, the effect you are describing is the LAST thing you want, but in comics and newspapers you would find it a lot because of the speed and amount of prints being made. In short, no one really cared too much. It does feel nostalgic and once I realized what they were doing, it really was a profound moment since I have personally been involved in the printing industry for 20 plus years. Thanks for sharing it with everyone as the technological achievement it really is.
Considering how underrated and underappreciated printers may be to the general public who's main exposure to printer's may be one they bought from Hobby Lobby in 1998, your expertise really goes a long way in seeing the charm of this film.
My closest experience is doing printmaking for fine art in undergrad, and good lord now I need to email my instructor for him to look into this.
A printing error, a technical imperfection, becomes a central part of the film's visual texture. An element that can be scrubbed out in a digital age, deliberately worked BACK IN because it's being put to conscious use to pay homage to the technological past of the medium it's adapting.
That is beyond beautiful.

I also love how the Spider-People are animated at different frame-rates depending on which universe they're from.

YES TO ALL OF THIS
Eddy! :O
How’s Gus doing?
Eddy i was literally wondering if this video was going to be worth I vesting 17 minutes into, and then I saw your comment.
What he said.
Mikey: “There’s an incalculable amount of math happening”
Me: “Wait that’s illegal”
Alan Turing in the house
haha
Ew, math
Alright let's talk about this film one last time...
I'd be up for more, tbqh.
TheGreenhat2000 What you did there. I see it.
People are gonna talk about this movie till the end of time
Good joke. Roll on snare. Everyone laughs.
I've watched this movie 5 times. I'm still wanting more.
Stan Lee assures him "It always fits, eventually!"
And then it does. The role fits because it needed to. When the chips are down and it really matters - you've got this.
That scene made me both cry and laugh out loud. To me it is THE best cameo Stan Lee has ever done. It fits with Miles arc.
I think that's what sets this apart from other superhero movies. Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, Thor, Superman, they're heroes because they're special, they've always been extraordinary, Miles was not special, he was just a kid, but the responsibility was laid onto him and he rose to the challenge, he became better, he became a hero. That's the part that makes me tear up "anyone can wear the mask, YOU can wear the mask."
I wish you could go on a 54 minutes dissection of this movie because it deserved it. But your health come first Mikey.
Thank you.
You could do a video series comparable to "One Marvelous Scene" JUST on this movie. So much love was poured into every frame.
54 min of Mikey choosing frames he likes and saying dope
One of the few times I ever saw my dad express genuine emotion was when he recounted what it felt like when Gwen was killed off. He was 14 when it happened, and he said it messed him up so bad he didn't pick up comics again until the 80s.
This story touched me. Thanks for sharing it. I hope he's found things to love in them now as well.
I mean this nicely, but I fear 75% of why I watch these is for that intro.
Christopher Northcutt jamming
It is absolutely bonkers how spectacular the intro is.
It's what made me love Movies with Mikey, honestly. That and the fact the guy is fucking Scooter from Borderlands.
I watch the video all the way through and then go back to listen to the intro...
Deep Dive also has a bomb ass intro.
Mikey… SPIDER-VERSE?! The most joyous youtuber on the most joyous nerd film of all time? I never pre-comment. I'm pre-commenting now.
I. AM. STOKED!!!!!! After: Yeah, immediate rewatch...
AverageDrafter same
@@snakesnoteyes same same
I pre-commented in my pants.
Don't worry... I hear it happens more than you think... nothing to be embarrassed about.
Kind of wild how you made “The Batman Question” back in 2017 and then one year later TO THE DAY this movie-carrying a very similar metatextual theme-had its first showing.
The universe is cool sometimes.
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who found the "falling upwards into the city" shot to be the greatest visual in movie history. GodDAMN, that still gives me shivers.
I haven't even seen it(the film) yet and I find that shot glorious.
These type of essays just keep getting better Mikey, keep up the good work, and more of this please.
In like the first two minutes I shared it with my friends.
Yep, we're totally good with like 90min Filmjoy. Mmm... 😎
The singularity of awesome.
This is full-power Mikey. Gave me shivers again. You might be the best source for the celebration of film, character design, storytelling and it is all served with a healthy spoon-full of context and cultural relevance.
Bravo.
I truly hope you know how profound everything you have made is. Not just youtube. Everything.
also... i have terrible grammar. Sorry.
The most beautiful editing of any you tuber mixed in with the most beautiful film ive ever seen
Oh, and a metric shit tonne of emotional complexity and depth
Honestly you make some of the best content on the entirety of this site
Please keep it up, we love all of it
Fourteen minutes already?! Feels like I just started watching, and then - the end. What?
Watching this brought me to happy tears. I love reading and watching about this movie. Everytime I hear "What's up Danger" I see that scene perfectly in my mind without fail
I need MORE videos about Spider-Verse, no sarcasm at all.
I almost want to see the inevitable "Spiderverse Isnt Actually Great: a Clickbaity Hot Take" that's down on this movie just because they just want to be contrary
Then i remembered that anybody who actually genuinely dislikes this movie is probably because of racism
There are a million ways to shill this movie and I need all of them please
Addendum: Characters are animated on different levels -- there are moments where Peter B. and the other Spiders are animated on *ones* to show how fluid and professional they are in swinging, while in *the same frame* Miles is animated on twos to give a choppier sense of movement because he is new to all of it (he eventually gets the animated on ones as he literally jumps into being Spider-Man).
I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
...my little green friend
Talks about Offset Printing at 4:18, Plays Offset's Clout. Brilliant. Masterwork.
This is legit one of my favourite movies ever and will watch almost anything I can find talking about how amazing it is.
Mikey. Please give us more. I need a part 2. Like a 90 minute part 2. Plz. This, as usual, was incredible and worded beautifully. Keep doing what your doing. ❤️
oh yeah new movies with mikey!!
14:28 I've come to really hate that sound just before the credits. I could listen to mikey talk about this stuff for hours
2:53 it's as if Every Frame, is A Painting. God, I wish Tony Zhou would come back to movie reviews.
I'm planning on writing an essay on spiderverse for my finals and I was looking for good videos on the tech behind it and then you come out of nowhere with a video on it!
You the man Mikey!!
Me: I'm not even really sure I can get out of bed today. What's the point?
CZcams: MOVIES WITH MIKEY INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE BOIIII
Me: Holy shit
when your Master awakens You ...
Enough about how spider man is a visual masterpiece, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR EDITS!!! I am completely blown away every episode that you make, my brain goes into a quick panic when I remember that these videos were literally edited by you....because my brain is no big brain...you are BIG BRAIN!!! I love you and I love that you love your fans. I love the quote, "if it aint broke, break it" I love that when the intro comes on I feel like something magical is about to happen. I can tell that you relate to spider man so much as a visual creator making his own rules and finding new ways to show what he's made of. Thanks for giving me so much joy at 1 am :)))))
The more I think about Spider-Verse the more I think it’s maybe me favorite animated film ever. It’s just so flawless and joyous and good.
"I could make videos about this for the rest of the year and still not..." Don't tempt us, that sounds awesome. Sounds like this peice of animation has a lot to teach us
I'm 100% with you on the scene of Miles ascending while falling towards NYC. Truly a Breathtaking shot.
Interestingly, my second favorite? The scene in Aquaman when they jump in the ocean with the flare and all the creatures are closing in on them. I got similar chills.
I *LOVE* the way origin stories are handled. The introduction of our side characters with their comic books is amazing, but I can’t even talk about that because of Miles. The first of Miles’ comic books is “the two Spider-Men” or something like that, and it drops when Miles *thinks* this is his origin story, he thinks he’s supposed to be ready, and he’s freaked out because he’s not. But as we’re shown by the other 5 Spider-People, the origin story is the Uncle Ben moment and the leap of faith. *AND SO* when Miles finally gets to his leap of faith, and swings off to the final battle, his *true* comic book finally drops, because *now he has had his origin story and he IS SPIDER-MAN*
one of my favorite reviews for one of my favorite movies 🔥🔥🔥
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is, without a hint of hyperbole, in my opinion, the greatest superhero film ever made (and it is not close), and the most important technical achievement in mainstream animation since (at least!) the first Toy Story. It's also a movie about a boy discovering who he is and learning to love himself and navigate a complex world while trying to find his place in it and make it better. It made me cry 4 times on the first viewing alone. It's astonishing, and I love it so very much. Thank you for doing justice to all of those things Mikey, another stellar episode
When I saw Incredibles 2, I remember thinking that, while it was a good enough sequel, it didn't have the same impact as the original because it was more of the same. Spider-Verse, though, made me feel the way I felt coming out of the first Incredibles in 2004, that the capabilities of the medium had been expanded.
And I'd been boggled by the quality of Black Panther right at the beginning of the very same year, and Spider-Verse beat *that*. It was also a far better universe-scrambling mass crossover event than Avengers: Infinity War or Endgame, and it didn't even have the weight of a giant movie series behind it (or, well, if it did, it was the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, that weren't even really in the same continuity).
That movie was great, and one point of why Miles matter, at least for me, he is mixed, he is a mixed black hispanic spiderman! i got someone like me who is part of two culture and world on screen. GOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE
From what I can tell many people wanted to see Miles take center stage on the big screen.
I've watched this film about a hundred times at this point, and the Leap Of Faith scene still gives me goosebumps.
Every
Single
Time
Miles leaps off the building, Spiderman sticks the landing.
I wonder if a YT video has ever impacted me as hardly as this one. Mikey, your videos connect with me nearly as much as the movies you talk about do. You’re one of the people that make me want to be a better person. Thank you Mikey
The leap of faith scene is so visually stunning I nearly cried
Great vid. But come on, Great Power/Great Responsibility when the film itself gave you the gold nugget of Great Ability/Great Accountability???
I so very greatly appreciate how Mikey uses music in this one. Offset - Clout for Offset Printing and Fat Joe - All The Way Up for Ascension were brilliant.
This got published 3 days ago,.Today, all in one day I had a midterm, a paper due, and a presentation now that I'm finally finished I can finally enjoy Mikey talking about my favorite superhero movie.
Life
is
good
The things I've gathered about the movie from watching a ton of these videos, the things that stuck with me.
The film is animated in two's, however not every character animates in the same amount of frames, sometimes even the same character changes the framerate. The more frames you have to an animation the more fluid the movement looks, so the animators took this into consideration when designing the movie. Confidence is displayed by the framerate/fluidity of a character and it's also used for comedic effects in certain scenes. The best example is when Miles and Peter B Parker are swinging in the woods. Since this is Miles's first time swinging he flails around at first trying to get the hang of it. Here Miles is animated in less frames than Peter as Peter has done this multiple times and is already a pro, but through the scene as Miles becomes more confident his framerate catches up to Peter's.
The goal of the creators was to make sure that every single frame in the movie could be a comic book panel, and this holds up for the most part. However they did not mind sacrificing a couple of frames in order to invent more with the animation. The most noticeable thing that everyone knows about is how lighting works with the Ben Ray Dots and also how Onomatepoetikons (words that describe sound) like TWHIP and SKKRT popping up everywhere possible. Like when Peter throws a bagel at a scientist the word Bagel pops up as a sound. In addition to this though the animation is also based on traditional. Despite being a 3D animated movie, they went out of their way to make it feel 2D by intentionally copy animation shortcuts taken from older animation. Like if someone is waving their hand instead of just animating a hand from side to side they took the liberty to have multiple hands at once in different positions being stretched out with blurred lines covering it up. That's a long sentence, but doing it like that exaggerates the movement, but is hardly noticeable when just watching the film. It's hard to explain, but slow down a scene where there is sudden and rapid movement and see for yourself.
A big challenge came with the other Spider Verse characters as they all have their own animation style. They had to make sure that the renders for these characters looked unique and distinguished with its animation, but not seem like it belonged in a different movie. In order to have animation styles to experiment with, they invented the character Peni Parker so they would have an excuse to use anime kind of animation. So contrary to popular belief, no Peni Parker was not an already established character in the comics before this movie, and she is the only one of the Spider cast to be completely new. She does have her own comic explaining her backstory that I think released before the movie did, but it was done more to promote the movie and Peni wasn't even a thought until the development of this movie begun.
The ascension scene is what a lot of people consider their favorite scene of the movie as it so hype and shows the audience a character we've been rooting for finally become his potential. This scene alone could be talked about forever. As mentioned in this video, they took one of the morals of the movie "Take a leap of faith" with the second one being "Anyone can be a hero" and turned it into a literal leap of faith. This leap was also framed in a way to show Miles falling upwards, or ascending. The soundtrack for this movie has a ton of easter eggs in them and also had a ton of artist collaborate to make a fantastic album to represent Miles. If you go on Spotify to listen to it, then most of the songs have lyrics that direclty points towards Miles or refference Spider Man, meaning that all of the songs were specifically created for this film. My favorite song being "Start a riot" as it is about Spider Man or someone with the power of Spider Man gaining confidence. However, in the movie this song was just used once and not even to it's full potential. You can hear a muffled small part of it as it is the music that Ned listens to in the room before he discovers the Spider people. Back to "What's up danger" and the ascension scene, the song itself is not as heroic or orchestral. Instead, the movie uses a spiffed up version of the song. The Soundtrack you won't find on Spotify is all of the background music or themes that were created by the composer Daniel Pemberton. The story of the movie has a grounded reality which is Miles's universe and fantastical elements, which is the multiverse. So the rap and hip pop that the other famous artists created are only used in scenes focusing on Miles in his own element or his own grounded world. Whenever the Spider People show up then the music will switch to the musical score. In the ascension scene, Miles, a grounded character, master the fantastical elements so the hip pop song is then mixed with the fantastical score to represent Miles's control. The distorted trumpets you hear when the Prowler is on screen is actually real elephants blowing air out their trunk. This sound stands out and is used only when the Prowler is on screen. Except for this scene where it is integrated into the song to represent the influence Miles's uncle had on him. This sound can also be found in the actual radio version of the song that you find on Spotify, but it doesn't hold the same weight as it does in the movie. In additon to that the movie has it's own little heroic cue that it play's every time a hero does something, well heroic. This melody plays when Peter saves Miles, when Miles correctly swing with the webshooters for the first time and in other heroic moments. Of course this melody would make it into the ascension scene as it blends in with the song. Here it goes from the simple one instrumental melody to a full out orchestral one showing the gravitas of this moment.
I seriously could go on, but these are in my opinion the best examples of the length and effort not only the directors and writers went through, but absolutely everyone involved with the film. It's not my favorite movie, but it is the one I like to talk about the most.
>So contrary to popular belief, no Peni Parker was not an already established character in the comics before this movie, and she is the only one of the Spider cast to be completely new. She does have her own comic explaining her backstory that I think released before the movie did, but it was done more to promote the movie and Peni wasn't even a thought until the development of this movie begun.
Um... No? Peni Parker was introduced in Edge of Spider-Verse #5 back in 2014 as part of the Spider-Verse event. She was chosen for this movie from a roster of existing Spider-People, for both providing both female and asian representation and for her more unique powerset compared to initial choice Silk. She was heavily redesigned for the movie, but she definitely already existed.
I absolutely love how Mikey’s passion shines through so strongly on this one. A joy to watch.
"What's Up Danger?" Is the MOST Spider-Man song in reality. It's just..it's perfect.
Thanks. Crying at work now. Another amazing video.
glad I'm not the only one who ended up crying at work coz of this video
The offset printing technique is generally referred to by artists as 'chromatic aberration'.
Has anyone claimed this as their stage name yet? If not, dibs.
I pinch myself a little every time I watch Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse. It literally makes me thankful to be alive (among other things of course). You barely even touched on the music and character themes in this video, but they are just so good. I have two daughters (6 and 8) who also love this movie and they talk to me about how the What's Up Danger scene gives them chills and they don't even understand what they are or why it is happening.
If I was a major creative force behind this movie I might never be able to work again. I don't know how it would be possible to ever follow this up.
Hell yes!! I have been waiting for an essay from you on this film!! Thank you so much for doing this!
I love this movie so much that I’ve been watching it over and over since I saw it in theaters. I don’t go a month without watching it. It has t gotten old yet. It’s beautiful.
This movie continues to amaze me the more I learn about it. Seeing it in theaters felt like being a part of history.
This film is visionary. It blew away all my misgivings about superhero movies. I've watched it so many times, and it just keeps surprising me. There is so much to absorb. I love that you delved into the ones and twos issue, because I've never seen it used with such purpose. One point about the color misalignment etc., is there's also a prismatic photo technique happening that is more rgb than cmyk. Just an immensely enjoyable analysis here, beautiful graphics that serve the purpose of the subject. Thanks.
Can we please get like, a part two of this please?
I keep coming back to this flick, and come away each time with a deeper appreciation for the love and unmitigated skill & craftsmanship on display. It's unbelievable to me, but this movie feels like the freshest thing I've seen on screen in a long time!
This is probably the most unanimously loved superhero film ever. Like I have heard people hate on The Dark Knight and the MCU but I have never heard anyone say that this movie is anything short of spectacular.
Damn dude! That was straight up frick'n amazing Mikey! You do justice where normally it does not prevail, and for that, we all thank you!
This movie gave me so much joy for so many reasons, it had everything I'd want in a film and more.
Mikey, I truly, genuinely, with as much compassion I can muster through text, LOVE you and your videos. You have so much amazing insight and your train of thought creates its own rails whenever you talk about movies. It’s always something new, something fresh, something that I’ve never heard. Thank you for being you
Movies with Mikey is easily the most consistently best content I get in my youtube feed. It makes me want to go watch the movie again. EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
As always loved your points of view and the way you deliver the message, editing and explanations. Thank you!
So there was that one scene where Miles whispering to him "they're counting on me", and there was that guy (simply) replying "probably not you specifically" and that made me think there was more to than people realize...
While during one session with my therapist, just after getting hired at my new job, when talking about how I didn't think I was ready to do a job in my field (I am an Applied Behavioral Analysist Tech for an in home therapy company that works with children with autism) she asked me why. I told her that I was afraid to mess up, or that I wouldn't be good enough and she said because I feel that way is exactly why I am ready. When she said that it instantly made me think of the leap of faith scene and I even described it in the context of my fears. Even though Miles took the leap, the animators made sure to show us that the glass broke. He was still scared when he took that jump, otherwise it wouldn't have broken, but he still took the leap anyways. Same with how I felt, and anybody else afraid to do something because they think they aren't going to be good enough or they will mess up. It's a leap of faith, just take it.
P.S. Thank you Mikey for making these videos, they are always amazing and you have even convinced me to watch a movie that I wouldn't have watched otherwise, not this one but others. I hope you stay healthy
I teared up with joy watching a video about a movie that made me bawl tears of joy in the theater. Damn you Mikey for having your finger on the pulse of my feels. Damn you.
More of these! Your MwM Deep dives are legit the best things on youtube.
I am so so glad I found filmjoy's channel in time for this video. OMG loved the talk about animation and style and just the overall details of everything :)
Already loving it. It's a good day when there's a new Movies With Mikey video!
When making Interstellar, they just wanted to try this "realistic" rendering. Nolan always said, if the audience won't get it, they would make it "less real" aka. more cliched. Then they got the first renders and immediately knew that it would work. The lensing, the warping of the accretion disc, it all made sense, even if you didnt understand the physics behind it.
Been waiting for this one! Thank you so much!
This video is incredible, and I loved every second of it twice already. More to come, for sure. Thank you so much for this!! This is one of my favourite movies and I will just chew through anything to get to more info and cool facts and neat takeaways about it.
I love each one of these videos, but this one was awesome
I've been waiting so long for this...
Just genuinely thank you!
HIGH QUALITY CONTENT, you are always a joy to watch, man. Keep going, you rock
I was so excited to see this in my subscription feed. These videos are some of my favorite and this movie is easily in my top 3 movies! 💜
i have consumed so much content about this movie and this might be one of the best things i have ever seen thank you
I love your passion for the stuff you make videos. I've been meaning to rewatch this movie and you put me over the edge.
Hey brother! Loving the vids as always. Keep it up!
I could listen to you talk about spiderverse forever! You could absolutely get away with a part 2 ❤
i have been waiting for you to make a video on this film since the day it was released thank you this film is truly a work of art.
I needed this today, thank you mikey
Amazing. Beautifully written and performed, as always. Thanks Mikey.
I’m always sad when this video ends, I want like a two hour video, mike you have changed the way I think about movies and film and I want to go into either props/set design or writing/directing. Thank you for getting me through a rough time in my life, ur the best!
I'm so glad that you've been able to expound on the technical achievements of this film. I've never really been able to adequately explain it, as I'm not fully knowledgeable about the mechanics of CG animation, and what I do know ends up super jargon-y.
seeing this video on my home page really made my day. i hope everything is going fine! thank you for this series. i’m excited to see more!
Underrated CZcams Channel correctly breathes the myriad levels of this Underrated Film and nails all the tacks on the scoreboard.
My eyes started to water, because it was information overload. There were so many elements fighting for my attention, but in a good way. It is a very impressive accomplishment that was actually given wide release, as opposed to ‘Waking Life’, Richard Linklater’s first animated feature. When I saw his next animated feature ‘A Scanner Darkly’, I fell in love with the animation of the scanner suit. This is like that x9000.
This video gave me chills a bunch of times. Thank you.
Perfectly entertaining, mind-moving, and professionalism, as always at Mike's!
Just another beautifully put together episode, so succinct and smart. I love ya, Mikey, you're a smart cookie.
I can’t stop enjoying this movie more every time I think about it and you made EVEN BETTER!
The most rewatchable channel on CZcams. Every single video hits it out of the park. Plus, the best intro in modern media, is there anything you can’t do?
i wish i could just wipe my memory so i could rewatch this movie over and over and create an infinite source of dopamine
“ If it ain’t broke...
*BREAK IT* “
-Mikey
and man that stan lee tribute really had me weeping
Oooooh man I've been waiting for this one!
I always get excited with these videos mainly because I get to watch the intro tittle, love the music. The essay is awesome too. ;)
On point on everything about why this movie mattered. This is quintessentially the most spiderman film to ever exist; not because it contained so many spider-people (and animals), but because it holds the themes of spiderman (responsibility, rising to the challenge, believing in yourself, getting back up again, family, fixing your past mistakes, and many more) in such high regard that it represents at least two or three in every scene. These themes are why people gravitate to Spider-Man so much. And then add in how modern the story is through Miles Morales's eyes; how a mixed-race coming-of-age with so much responsibility thrust upon him has to balance doing what is right, what he wants, and what others want for him. That's beautiful. It's like putting lens upon lens on top of each other until you well and truly see the real picture. Say what you may about Bendis or Arad, but they understand Spider-Man to the fullest. I'm glad they could make this film.
I'll never get tired of singing the praises of this film, I'm so glad it exists.
I'm so glad you did this. I love this movie.
You're amazing, and this video was bang on. (And I am watching the credits, it's great writing time.) These are trying times and you're helping me a lot. I hope you're safe and well
This is the Mikey video I've been waiting for the past six months.
