- We are proud to officially debut The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, in partnership with the Kevin Love Fund. Because everyone is going through something, even superheroes like Miles Morales.
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 Khaila 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.

Miles morales meets his dark alter ego: Kilometers Immorales
Most underated joke ever 😂
😂😂😂
"don't be a stranger "
Nice joke buddy
Metric Morales
2:31
I like the way his anxiety is depicted by his spider-sense pulling a false alarm.
The spidey senses go off when there is danger to a spider person. That was not a false alarm - the panic and terror are real.
@@eh1843 I think it was just a rlly good way of showing how a physiological feature that was originally designed to help can go awry (like fear, which is designed to keep us safe)
@@eh1843 that's still a false alarm. Panic attacks are caused when there us no real fanger but the body feels overwhelmed and tricks itself into that response.
I don’t get why it went off at 1:38 though. It was just his dad behind him, I thought it only ever happens if he is truly in danger
It's pretty crazy because, on some Spider-Man comics, Peter expresses how much he hates when his spider sense goes off. Like, imagine a constant tingle on your head, screaming for you that there is danger, even for the most mundane things. If any of the spider people got into a snowball fight, and someone even aimed a snowball at them, that same tingle would go off the same way it would if someone was aiming a gun at him. So, imagine that miles, that has been spiderman for a max of 2 years, has been feeling that tingle, not even getting used to it. Besides, he's a teenager. If the spider sense goes off when he's anxious, then he must be feeling that tingle a whole lot.
“aw man im buggin’”

Didn’t he step on the spider that bit him i think that might be what the referencing
@@user-lo9sx3vq3e He actually only smacked it off his hand
@@user-lo9sx3vq3e I think he just slapped it in the first movie.
@@iamgt2392 he did slap the spider
THAT MADE ME LAUGH
No crazy plot revelation , no cheap teasers and nods for the next movie , just a kid who's got so much on his mind , just like us
Always felt at home with spider man. He was always my favorite hero because it's so relatable and this short encapsulates that struggle so well!
@frankmachado4142 true , both spiderman and batman , helps us feel powerful , gives us hope and teach us never to back down , I mean every hero does that but these two just prevail over others the most.
my head is empty.
You all are the greatest explaining
what a great video, bro is just trying to fight his demons out here alone
I like how this film is basically a middle-finger to all of the people claiming that Miles is "too perfect". It isn't everyday where we get to see some of our favorite heroes mentally struggling outside of the masks; Which just goes to show that there are way more forms to suffering outside of growing up poor and having you loved ones die. Miles isn't too perfect, he's just different
And that is what makes him his own Spider-man
You get it, brother!
It’s in every Spider-Man to cover up the stress with jokes and up in your face attitude
Cause he’s too perfect
It's funny you think this fixes that criticism specifically.
If we actually saw the conversation with his dad, MAYBE. Instead, we have a goofy and shallow visualization of the surface level problems we already know.
Spider-Verse is still the best version of Miles, but he still also has the same issues as a character as usual
I honestly don't get how can people say he's way too perfect when in both movies so far, and now this, we've seen him struggle with his life, the situations in it, balancing responsabilities, social life, family stuff. He's not a perfect person, he's a normal kid with spider powers
What a perfect visualisation of stress/anxiety induced sleep paralysis. Miles not able to move, seeing dark things pushing on his chest with the wheight of an elephant is basically exactly how it plays out a lot of times (i have a lot of those). Yes, it doesnt look like he fell asleep but sometimes we simply dont notice IRL. It can happen so quickly that you think you were awake the whole time.
that "dark" Miles almost felt like sleep paralysis
I think it is meant to be like that
It probably is cuz miles couldn't move at all
fr
That’s what I was saying
just call it shadow Miles
This short 6 minute film was somehow better than Madame web and morbius combined
😂
Nah don't compare Mobius to Madame Web
bro chose to speak facts 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
no argument here, Spider-Verse knows what it needs to be, those 2 clearly didnt

Man, they really captured the feelings of anxiety and the dissociation that comes along with it so well. It’s a horrible feeling, but I’m glad Miles was able to make the move to speak with his dad about it rather than bottling.
“With great power, comes great responsibility…”
“But also with great responsibility, comes GREAT anxiety & stress too.” 😩😮💨
With great anxiety and stress, comes great depression 🫥
I have to admit at first I thought this was a sneak peak at Beyond the Spider Verse but after watching this fundraiser I really see the importance of mental health, truly.
And I’m proud of that.💰I will be patient for Beyond the Spider-Verse🕷️

I loved this short. Even heroes has their own anxieties and fears, its always good to talk it out with someone.

Big thank you to the animators for making something that many of us can relate to. Mental health is important, especially for young people at critical stages in their lives. Miles is also easily becoming my favorite spiderman. Cheers and love to everyone
I appreciate this comment. Cheers to the animators for making such a successful short film all the messages translated so clearly, just one look at the comments shows it.
The way this perfectly encapsules what depression and/or anxienty is, is so mind blowing. I got chills watching the train scene because that's what I went through mentally.
Animation industries are FINALLY starting to understand that giving their workers creative freedom is a key to success, instead of limiting them in order to make movies more "safe" and kids friendly. SpiderVerse is revolutionary in so many ways. The first movie became my comfort place, and the second one didn't disappoint aswell. I hope that everyone who works on these movies are really proud of themselves. Can't wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse!
Noceda
Ughhh my token Spider-Man.
Xd?😊
why make films "Safer for Children"?
@@pakatun3463 What I mean is, that there has always been this tendency in movies "meant for all" (especially animated movies) to never mention any deeper topics. It's basically treating kids like complete idiots, who wouldn't be able to understand when characters are struggling with something like anxiety, loneliness, depression etc. Yes, when it comes for movies for younger audience it has to be shown a little gently, but being scared of showing it at all is just limiting and stupid.
Miles Morales: What's up danger
Kilometers Immorales: I AM THE DANGER

@YourCasualNemo "Who's down safety?"
@@Dazzle4U-qm9cg more like "hows it going safety"
@zeeyansrandomthoughts6387 😭 good one
Oh wow-this was an amazing depiction of how anxiety feels. Seeing an awareness video for mental health in such an influential series is truly amazing. The ending with the “You got a minute?” Is beautiful too.
Balancing a job as a hero and the responsibility to get your grades up are always difficult and pressuring especially on a teenager. It should be "With great power comes severe consequences". For Miles' case, being your worst enemy. Can't wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Seeing Miles so vulnerable and suffer a sleep paralysis, makes you really understand what living two different lives feels like. Being a hero isn't always cool. Seeing what we call an unbeatable hero suffer from anxiety is truly a reality punch straight to the gut.
And Miguel certainly didn't help by calling him a "mistake" or "something that never should have happened."
Johnathon Ohnn may have been a great threat to the Spider-Verse, but Miguel is no hero or protector for doing this to another Spider-Man, no matter how that Spider-Man came to be.
@@girl1213speaking facts!! 🗣️
@girk1213 Factos 🍷🗿
That wasn't sleep paralysis it was his spider DNA trying to take control we saw that with Peter in the comics
@@AnimeAlchemistEdits no lol that was sleep paralysis which can usually happen during stressful points in your life or when you have anxiety, i get them often
By the time the next Spider-verse movie comes out, Miles won’t even be grounded anymore!
😂
I sure hope so 😅
I was thinking the same thing.
lol real
i feel like when he comes back, it'll be 8 months 😂

His spidey senses going off @ “nothing” was genius bro, anxiety will really make you feel like you’re in danger when theres nothing around. And him fighting himself? INNER BATTLE AU ROEJRKEJEK GENIUS
Miles:"WAIT i'll never step on a spider again i promise!"
Spider:NAH CATCH THESE HANDS
Jefferson is such a good dad. Him setting up all that just to have a fun night with his son is something I wish I had growing up. The willingness he has to hear out his son without a second question inspired me. This is the kind of dad I want to be when the time comes. Thank you for the great writing and work y'all put in to make stories like this possible.

I wish my dad was more understanding about mental health, he's a boomer and Mexican at that so they didn't acknowledge mental health at all over there. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I don't know how to tell him cuz he's the type to say something like "just stop worrying" when it's more than that
@@ruthcruz1well find a friend to whom you can share else watch films play games to stress out or porn & talk with yourself if you don't have friends.
It's so cute
I don’t really have a dad
Damn. His dad really got me with that jumpscare LMAO
Wish this was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short.
Man that's actually really sad. He's being crushed by all of his responsibilities, and while the shadow Miles at first embodies them all, it morphs into his greatest source of stress: becoming Spiderman. He can't tell anybody for their safety, not even when he opens up to his dad here. This leads to his desperation in Across the Spiderverse to reunite with Spiderpeople for support, and he learns that the Spider Society sees him as an unwitting enemy.
fuck
hey that shadow miles thing kinda reminds me of a sleep paralysis demon haha
"he's being crushed by all of his responsibilities" is a great word play with him both being metaphorically crushed, stressed and even a bit depressed from all of his responsabilities and literally crushed by all the villans he fights
anyways i hope you have a great day :)
well said... well said
yeah I watched the video I know
i appreciate that miles is a genuinely authentic portrayal of a teenager. in the movies, he's very defiant of the idea of "this is how it's supposed to be" which is exactly how kids his age are, and in this, he's dealing with so many feelings that not even an adult mind has the ability to compartmentalize and deal with efficiently, and so it results in exactly what we see in this short, being distant, stressed, tense, and even sleep paralysis and nightmares. miles is a great character dealing with real problems just in a fantastical superhuman setting. it's a great example of how to do stories that are "grounded" without being boring, and still being fantastical.

@@ponfi0275 Well if that’s the case that’s one the stupidest most moronic things I’ve ever heard. Because I know people of that religion and they definitely get anxious.
Bro’s just 15 years old; good thing he actually decided to speak to his dad
As someone with Arachnophobia, this was legitimately terrifying XD As someone who loves Spider-Man, this is so well made and an incredible take on anxiety incorporating Spider-Man’s themes and powers. Between this and Puss in Boots, I’m convinced animators understand panic attacks far better than other filmmakers (which kinda adds up, judging by my friends who majored in animation)
This is the kind of messaging we need so much more of. I am very blown away by what Sony & Marvel did here. No cheap gimmicks. No Tie-Ins or Sequels being shoved down your throat. They used a very popular character, one that can really relate to younger people. Along with there massive platform. To really spread something good into the world.
BRAVO to Marvel & Sony. As well as anyone that had a hand in making this. You should all be proud of yourselves for what you have created. This deserves respect!

@@Desto_OP It kind of is, it's really hard to realize how straining this stuff would be on him but this short really puts into perspective that he's going through some shit, whether the hallucinations are canon or not (which they almost guaranteed aren't)
@@t3rm1nat0r4 ah okay
@@Desto_OP It's like, if something is bothering you. Let it out, tell your parents. Talk it out so it doesn't stress you further more which would lead to trauma or any further damage in he future.
Agreed, they did a good thing here. They show him dealing with some serious PTSD following traumatic events, and having someone you trust to talk with can go a long way to recovery.
Miles Morales: “Hey Peter, any tips of to how to deal with stress especially with your own anxieties?”
Peter B. Parker: “First time? Trust me Miles, you get used to it.”

5:58 I think this is just a tease that they'll use this song in Beyond The Spiderverse. It makes perfect sense because miles will try to save his dad and maybe even gwen from dying.
I love that the spider can represent so many things - the newfound responsibilities of trying to balance Spider-Man with life, Mile’s insecurities if he can truly handle it, maybe repressed regret that he even got bit, anger that he never really got a choice in becoming Spider-Man.
The best symbolism is the one that can mean several things that all connect to the character. Bravo.
Superb art as always, take care of yourselves, Spider-Verse crew!
2:41 to 3:03 who ever made the beat during this 22 seconds was cooking some serious heat. Even adding Miles typing on his phone being part of the beat too was crazy good!

To anyone suffering from anxiety as much as Miles Morales, I know it’s hard to get through this and it hurts a lot. But know this, you are not alone in this world even in the multiverse there’s many people struggling with their mental health and it’s normal to talk to someone for support. Remember, understanding your emotions is just as important as saving the multiverse.

@@justinguyos5476you can't expect people to be like movie characters, these are made up, even the fathers you see in real life are not like that when you are not around. If your father is in your life and he is not abusive I suggest building this kind of relationship with him over time. People from the old days weren't raised like us and their parents are like how they are now so they mirror what they grew up on. Think about your father being raised by a father like himself. Express how you feel with the way he is without trying to hurt him and the more you do that the more you guys can come to an understanding that might not be perfect but with time it'll be beautiful. I'm sorry if you don't want to hear this or if it is unattainable.
@@justinguyos5476one thing I learned about parenthood is that you don’t have to be your father. When you have kids you can be the dad that your father wasn’t to you. Lead by a better example.
@@HappyisthenameI beg to differ, I’ve seen fathers while not exactly like Miles’ dad yet are pretty close to it. The person you replied to is not going to be able to force his father to be better, only his father can want that change. Having someone change themselves for the sake of other’s isn’t real progress. After bringing up the issue once should be enough then from that point on it’s his father’s responsibility to be better. If not, then that’s his fault. The commenter can use that experience to become a better father to his kids that his father wasn’t to him.
@@Happyisthename ah yes "parent your dad, because his dad was even worse" lmfao
being the one that knows how to communicate and taking responsiblity for the relationship is literally the role of a parent. Your opinion of men is so low its vile and disgusting.

I love the way they show anxiety. As the worst of your fears showing in front of you, so much noise in your mind and that sense of danger even though you are alone. Such a masterpiece and a way to start a talk
Y'know, I just realized something. The paralysis demon Miles faced is a shadow of himself AND it looks close to the figure in the movie Jeff was watching. That shows how a lot of us can take something so simple from our eyes and it makes up some demonic figure we could fight in a dream...or a nightmare. The red lighting is also present, too. And to add, he fights it inside of a train; the same place he fought Kingpin sort of
Might be thematically relevant to Earth 42 Miles as well
@@Nellie-Brooks Right, but the thing is that this is before Across the Spiderverse so he has no idea who that is yet. But Miles-42 could be a nice callback to this short, since Miles looked just as paralyzed as he couldn't move either

3:30 Oh god this part about having an anxiety attack was so accurate. There’s literally nothing wrong with you, but your mind says otherwise and you just catch yourself heavily breathing hoping to calm it down so you don’t go into full blown anxiety attack.
Yes! And right before when he said “Man, I’m bugging…” wow what a beautifully crafted realistic moment. I will say “man I’m tripping” to myself in that exact way trying to verbalize my acknowledgment of not being in tune with like reality and in an head space that’s like the wrong frequency.
No wonder,miles was determined to save his dad,after seeing this short film,I couldn’t blame him.
This short film was pretty awesome, so much of being Spider-Man in just a few minutes. 10/10
I have triple ball
Man and with the last movie he's got a whole lot more on his plate
Glazing
The fact Sony found a way to make an animated horror short is so perfect.
This is a great mental health awareness short. It really captures the horrors of stress so well
Ngl I cried at the support of the dad
A mere reminder of what Marvel Movie really matters other than Deadpool and Wolverine.
Depicting a male protagonist and one of color combating his own mental struggles and getting help from loved ones, especially from an older male figure is such a wonderful thing young men need to be able to see, excellent job y'all.
I couldn't have said it any better!
Is Mile Morales black or Latino? I have yet to see him gravitate to his Latino roots and culture, and that's because Latinos are very, very into their culture. Also, make him look more Latino and have him say, "Ay, Chihuahuas!" as his new catchphrase. They screw him up. Why do they keep leaving Latinos out?
Fake pandering.
Yeah. this video reached a part of my brain that I've just been ignoring for such a long time, this was such a breath of fresh air.
Yeah, it’s nice to finally see a black character who’s internal struggle isn’t about something “black” like the stereotypical white bullies
Reminds me of my sons losing battle with liver disease, he died at age 32.
This is just sad.
The pain n suffering
Alone
When no one can help you.
And everyone looks on helplessly
If Miguel saw what he was going through, he'd realize he is just as much Spiderman as all the others
Sure but he'd have to be willing to see it. That's the problem. Miguel won't really look at Miles because he's afraid to be wrong.
Unending pain is a canon event
Miguel has a whole spider society that has went though the same stuff or even worse than miles it still doesn't change what he does
Miles is the best of them
Miguel admitting he was wrong?
Dad: Whats on your mind?
Miles: Homework, girls
Well, one girl
Me: YOU MEAN GWEN
Nothing like a good talk with dad.
That anxiety he felt, I feel that everyday man... Had to leave school in-person because of it, I know what it's like to feel like you're the enemy of yourself. Because I'm scared of myself everyday. I'm graduated now, but it's still hard, having to keep a smile on. It really does suck, and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Anyone who is also going through this, or are struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. You aren't alone, please reach out for help!
I’m kind of struggling with OCD.
Thx . i can be unexpectedly sensitive to even something so seemingly silly lol
Same here, the anxiety reached it’s peak halfway through my second to last year of high school that I had to be pulled out of public school and went into correspondence/home school. It was rough but it did help me since most of my anxiety came from public school in the end, and I wouldn’t be the same person I am now if I tried to stay in a place that was hurting me mentally because it was all I ever knew. In the end, I moved away and graduated from university with amazing friends and a better community.
I still haven’t got all the answers to what happened and what’s going on in my head all these years later, but knowing that none of us are alone is a good start.
@@vickienorgrove5480 That sounds exactly like what I'm going through!

I'm currently seeing a therapist, and working through my emotions, and it helps! You do have to find the right one though, that's the thing that not many people tell you. I am happy yet sad to know that I'm not alone on this battle, because again, it's not something I would wish on my worst enemy. It is nice to know however that others can truly sympathize .
@@careycentral9013 OCD is something that isn't talked about as much, and I really do sympathize and empathize with you. I know finding help can be hard, because you do have to find someone you like, and trust. Admitting your struggles out loud is the first step to fixing them!
As someone who's currently going through a panic/anxiety attack at the time of this comment, 3:02 onward just hits really close to home because it scares me about the "what-ifs" or what I feel like I'm doing wrong. And it doesn't help that I've had a history of seizures, either, which makes me even more scared.
hope you're doing better again now
THEYRE COMING
hey....hope you are okay when you get this..and if not you will 🙂😉
well, it seems like it's out of nowhere, jesus loves you, repent of your sins, this could be your last chance to be saved, jesus is coming back, may God bless you
I’m sorry you’re going through a such a tough time. Just remember that no matter what you are not alone. In this short film even when Miles felt like all of his fears and anxieties were too much for him to handle, he realized that he had people in his life who he could open up to in order to help him deal with what he’s going through. It may not make these problems suddenly go away but it feels better to know that no matter what you have people in your corner who will be by your side when you are struggling and help carry the burdens that are weighing in you. Miles’ dad is a source of strength for him, even now he is literally fighting the multiverse for him. So If you have anyone in your life who you can talk to please do so, because you will feel so much better knowing that you don’t have to isolate yourself and suffer alone. I believe in you and I hope you feel better soon.
This is just wonderful, guys. I'm so happy to see creative people using the power of media for good. No cheap tie ins, no sequels or merch shoved down our throats, and relatable to the younger audience without the "hello, fellow kids!" feeling you get from so many projects. Just awesome.
Miles: Nah, I do my own thing
Miles in wrong universe: Nah, I enter the wrong universe
as someone with anxiety and who goes through severe panic attacks sometimes this is so comforting to me somehow. to know that one of my fav characters is going through them too... might sounds weird but i feel a little less alone. i love this so much!!
Yes sirr
You’re not the only one
You never are
Omg. Lol
@@juxtapositionThis ??? don't reply to people's comments if you don't have anything interesting to say lmfao
Some details that I noticed and loved:
- Each panel depicting Miles's struggles at the beginning have a force that is aimed towards his character in the centre; i.e., the building falling to the right, the punch coming in from the left, his parents leaning down as he sits below them, etc. Very symbolic.
- The inside of the house seeming to be very brightly illuminated, only to be just as dark as outside. Could be representing how we try in find comfort in familiarity but it doesnt always work, or maybe that Miles's dark mood follows him even into safer and more comfortable areas.
- Even though Jeff was no danger to Miles, his anxiety is so high that his spidey senses perceived even a small scare prank as dangerous. He even has to take deep breaths and hold onto the table to calm himself down afterwards (also Miles's little 'Ah!' scream is so cute oml).
- Jeff going out of his way to make their time special including ordering 2 giant tubs of popcorn lol
- Miles slamming the door without really meaning too because he's so tired and anxious.
- Trying to calm himself down only for his anxiety (oncoming panic attack) to trigger his spidey senses.
- The outside being portrayed as much more beautiful and calm than his room. Something something, the freedom outside confined spaces, something something, locking ourselves in tight boxes to meet expectations, something something.
- PLAYING LOUD MUSIC TO DISTRACT FROM ANXIETY HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR
- One of the lens on his mask being shattered, symbolising how his perception on being Spiderman has changed. He can no longer see heroism through a lens; he has to see it for what it really is, the good and bad. Also symbolic for his mentality.
- The comic panels having Miles be forced in ever direction except for up. The contrast of the bright yellow and red (usually used for symbolising caution or hazards) against the background blue.
- "I'm bugging." Lol. Nice one. Even through a panic attack, mans still gotta say those stupid spider puns.
- Idk if Im reaching way to far here but fuck it; the sleep paralysis demon coming down towards the camera in contrast to Miles's iconic moment in the first movie where he was rising against the backdrop of the city. Also could just be symbolising how his panic is crushing him. Idk choose your favourite.
- Colour scheme changing on the train from blue to red as the sleep paralysis demon appears.
- Miles only calming down properly when he decides to talk with his dad about his stress. The lighting in the house also becomes a lot more warmer too.
- Going outside where it's been established as much more calm and serene than Miles's room (also really good advice to anyone going through anxiety - GO FOR A WALK OUTSIDE. Trust me, it helps).
Fan-fucking-tastic animation and story 10/10. My hype for BTSV is through the roof!
Absolutely brilliant. I loved the part where you compared the sleep paralysis Miles to his first scene in the movie where he overcomes fear and embraces being Spider-Man to now being under pressure and feeling crushed by "Spider-Man".
I really want yo explain, in my own words, what Spider-Man is but I would be here forever, but I think it means what Uncle Ben always said to Peter.
That's me just being lazy though. Oh my gosh brilliant observation, I loved it ❤️
You nailed the break down.
In case you didn't know, "I'm buggin" is a common saying among New Yorkers to say, "You're crazy or acting out of character" [like being scared of a bug (also subtly telegraphing the sequence where he runs from spiders)].
There's nuance and purpose while being authentic behind that one line alone & an example of why the Spiderverse movies are the best superhero movies.
*That's what happens you have people behind it who care about what they are making & not looking for a quick buck*

That's so cool. I'm Australian so the slang was definetly lost on me, thanks for the info!
@nobellprizz2831 perfect! I'm glad it helped! Also, I listen to The Weekly Planet & the guys behind it are Australian, so it took a while to get acclimated to their banter & what it means. Isn't slang great? 😅
Peak. Sleep paralysis, Spiderman's inner demons potrayal, the support system and an awesome song at the end.
Hearing miles say he’s buggin is so funny
2:47 We ain’t gonna talk about how Miles typing into his phone was on beat with the music
Is that a real song?
Whats the name?
@@darkzjazer7494 lo mismo me pregunto , cual es ese tema?
on god
@@darkzjazer7494I tried Shazam and it didn’t work
All the hallmarks of an anxiety induced sleep paralysis attack. The anxiety, the labored breathing (knew what was coming when I noticed that), the hallucination of being awake (when he dreamt that he walked to his bed), the mounting terror.
This hits hard.
Plus the big spider turning into little spiders on his body were probably hallucinations from the feeling of his skin crawling. Its well grounded and just as scary as it is relatable
Nah he just took too much Benadryl
@@philthhhell Nawl 😂😂
@@emperorgooseofficial😁👍🏽
Is it ? it happened a few times when i was a teen.
I love the message behind that, even though his parents can be a little hard on him they are always there to help him and he knows that.
In times of anxiety and stress I get many episodes of sleep paralysis , so well done here! From the paralysis, to the fear, fight and flight all is so on point.
I love that what helped him was simply talking about his problems with a person he knew cared. (1) If you're going through something, simply doing that can really help lessen the intensity. (2) If you're a parent or support person in someone's life, and they don't seem to notice that you care even though you're trying to show them, they can still sense it, and all that effort will pay off when they come to you for help when they really need it.

Two things:
1). A “Hang In There” poster right behind Miles in the bottom right corner.
2) Miles analyzed The Odyssey, an Ancient Greek epic poem about war hero King Odysseus and his 10 year journey back to his home of Ithaca. Throughout the story, Poseidon prevents Odysseus from returning back to Ithaca because Odysseus blinded his son and won the war against the Trojans (whom Poseidon sided with). Odysseus’ mental health is a prominent theme throughout the story as he struggles with intense grief and guilt from the war, and simply wishing to return back home to his family. Going back to Miles, he is Spider-Man - an extremely popular superhero who saves people and fights against evil. He has a LOT of expectations and pressure on his shoulders, and he is only a teenager. While Odysseus is 30-40 years old throughout The Odyssey, he was only 20 years old when he left for Troy to fight in one of the largest and greatest battles of his world. He was a key factor in the victory over Troy because of his intelligence and strength. But Miles and Odysseus are more than just their strengths and personas they put on. They both struggle with their mental health, and I feel that Miles could connect with Odysseus’ character because of his reliability.
(*Also, Miles’ teacher noted his paper as “incomplete” - this could literally symbolize how Miles’ story is not complete yet 👀)
Ohh, well spotted!
Bro's cooking a 9-course meal lol. Great analysis !!
Wouldn’t have caught that! True here over here ^^ 😉
You have a good eye. Thank you for connecting this back to Greek mythology as well.
Yess a fellow myth nerd
Even the little things like his dad getting jumpscared by Miles, really brings these characters to life
Love it....supposed to be dropping a very anticipated movie that gets delayed so you take the time to drop something very cool to support a cause and give the fans something they same week the movie was slated for!
Amazing job...hope you's make your goal.
“Miles…Ya got a minute?”
“Hey, Dad…Ya got a minute?”
I love how every element in this short still encompasses the theme and the structure of the movies. 🕷️🕸️
1:27 I love that the sleep paralysis version of him was already hinted in the mirror
dang you're right and that's some scary shiiii..
Damn that's a really good spot.
@@HereComesRyanMSpot?
@@Depureeas in good find
foreshadowing?😆Good spot, bad joke
40 seconds of logos for a short film. CinemaSins would have a field day with this one.
This is so relatable to every human being. Aren't we all fighting with a "spider" within?
Miles’s neighborhood, apartment, heck even the popcorn has so much detail! Props to all the artists involved. I’m so hyped for Beyond The Spiderverse!
Dang even in a short film the animation and story is just phenomenal, anxiety and stress is a real thing people go through so to show that through a super hero, who is also a teenager at that, is just amazing storytelling
I ate a cat
For real :(

This is so perfect. A new spiderman would obviously be anxious. I wonder why we didn't get this anxious Miles in the beginning of the second movie. In there he seems almost bored with his new spider-man life
I like how this film also establishes why Miles made his new suit. Gradually, it simply got so damaged he couldn’t wear it.
The “I’ll never step on another spider again” was a cool joke in this rather serious video
Right
so happy they're finally officially releasing this
Yea, me too! also I'm subscribed!🎉
Me too
What’s crazy is that this short is a direct reference to the line miles says towards the end of Across the Spider-Verse. When Rio asks Miles if he has 8 arms? Miles says “No, but I had a nightmare about that once” THIS IS WHAT HE WAS REFERENCING
That song at the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also the lyrics are so awesome in the song! Portays that Miles can't do it alone, he asked for help with his dad
I want more of this Miles. And not just the Spiderverse stuff, just him in his own universe doing his stuff.
Hell even him just spending time with his family would be amazing
Then the video game on PS5 would suit you so much. Just had finished playing MILES and I love it badly. Great story with great motion. Can't love the game more~
I agree
Everything here just makes me want to watch a Spider-Verse horror movie.
Short but good!
Legit, if Miles is ever transported to a Zombie-Verse or Apocalyptic dimension, it would be scary ASF!
Bro that would be sick
_looks over at Patton Parnel_
Put an scene
Everyone: is the best i ever seeing
Sony: that’s just one scene
"Aw man, I'm bugging."
*we need more movies like this that understand the internet*

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.
Even thought this was a short film it definitely deserves its credits for showing how vulnerable miles can be.
Sure he is a hero but being the hero isn’t all that great while you’re still a kid that’s going to school and has a difficult time with life as well.
His anxiety giving off a false alarm for his Spider-Sense and seeing a shadowy figure of himself as his sleep paralysis demon is so much to take in
they always say spiderman is loved because of how relatable of a normal person he is outside of being under the mask. this really made me understand that
