I take a leap into the utter perfection that is Into the Spider Verse in order to explore what it is that makes it's most perfect scene so god damn perfect.
So this was supposed to come out about five months ago, but I'm currently in the middle of the whole transition from high school to college, so I hope you'll cut me a break if the upload schedule is a little sparse for awhile. Not that it's ever been all that consistent to begin with, but I feel like I should at least update you guys on why this took so damn long.

This video now has some messed up audio in the beginning of the "Setup" section to prevent the video from being blocked entirely. Looking back, I'm surprised it took so long for there to be an issue like that. Don't know how much longer the video will be able to stay up, but I don't have it in me to remake or re-edit it, so yeah. It's just gonna have to stay a little fucked up until it inevitably goes down again.

You need a Patreon, man! You're videos are fantastic!
its almost like you don't own the music in this video. its called the law you probably didn't even ask to play the music that you don't own. it was instant because youtube has software that detects it and instantly sends revenue to the proper owner of the music. don't play music you don't own. me I'm just waiting for law to change. maybe in the near future, but laws might become even more strict. there not assholes they just know the laws. sorry this happened but you should have seen it coming.

"Miles' movement style looks nothing like any of them."
Correct. Miles moves with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.
THERE IT IS
Gwand- actually Gwen's moves are more unnecessary stylish
16:52
lol I was gonna make the same reference
I was looking for this comment lol.
Not the exaggerated swagger of a black teen😩😩
Saying that Miles moves most like his uncle, hits different
It really did
i’m still crying after watching a different movie essay on the prowler and this just made me cry more
Yeah man, I didn't even notice that before. Brought a tear to my eye.
Right
@@HolyMateria so it wasn't just me
What makes this scene even more powerful is the way it was written into the script, far before the animations ever came. To quote, "Miles walks to the edge of the of the roof, the wind is buffeting... and LEAPS! The camera is UPSIDE DOWN. Miles isn't *falling* through the frame. He's RISING.
chills every time man
What does that mean? Rise...
@@Tornadospring If camera is upside down, then you go up across the screen when you're falling
@@Tornadospring It's metaphoric. He technically isn't rising, but because the camera is placed upside down, showing him moving upwards instead of falling, that is used to symbolize a rise.
@@sidr8920 oh I was just quoting tte dark knight rises but thanks for the explanation ;)
I really love that they never demonize his uncle. yes, he’s a criminal, but he’s not a cartoonish villain. he loves others, lives somewhere, enjoys music, is a *person* . and more than that, is a person Miles loves back, even if it’s complicated. he doesn’t turn away from the good parts of his uncle, but takes them in as guidance, just as much as the good things about his dad. in a way, Miles’ success is the brothers reconciling through him
It’s like knowing *Your* uncle is a criminal.
It’s just like, “Yeah, what’s your point he’s still a good person”
I genuinely cried at your comment, it was a beautiful connection that I never realized until now. Thank you
the way “Miles’ success is the brothers reconciling through him” is phrased is so perfect and accurate
@@accountusername7900But the worst part about that is his uncle was willing to kill a kid to get a job done
@@accountusername7900 not a good person
Fun fact. During the beginning of the movie, Miles was animated at a slower frame rate to give him a clumsy and hesitant over all look. As he refined the control over his power they animated him at a higher frame rate to make his movements smoother and more crisp. I love this movie!
Thx for the very interesting info!
I thought something was odd, that’s actually insane attention-to-detail.
i once saw a guy on twitter brag abt how he “fixed” miles frame rate and made it equal with everyone else like bro!! you are missing the point!!!!
Source: trust me bro
It was said recently in a short by matpat(the film theorists) don't know who knew it first...
You could literally pause any part of the movie and make it a wallpaper
How is this true
I'm not actually asking how it's true bruh
Yes
that’s literally what i was thinking
I DID THATTTTT! Watched it literally 9 times and my father thinks I'm being too dramatic hoe great it is
Even the part where alt-universe Peter is shoving a burger in his mouth?
This is what Stan Lee always wanted. Anyone can put on the mask, anyone can accomplish what they set out too.
Couldn't have said it any better
Hits harder after across the spider verse
Stan Lee was a real g, ever since he left most marvel movies have degraded a ton
@@Giyothecoolkid2338 he didnt had influence over any of the movies lol
@@gregoryc6656 idk tho, marvel isn’t the same and it feels more rushed
I feel like Miles' main struggle being self doubt is very fitting as in a traditional Spider-man story there's only one Spider-man, whereas for Miles there are other Spider-people that he will inevitably be compared to.
reading this after watching Across the Spider-Verse and the way they double down on this... damn

Prowler's Theme is an insanely underappreciated piece of audio art.

@@MimiWCocoa. fun fact: it’s just a reverse of Miles’s theme iirc.
a 20-minute video about a short scene is what my English teacher expects me to do.
to be fair, this is a scene that is both worth it, and has enough good writing to sustain it
English teachers have to write a whole thesis over small things like that to get their degrees
The whole movie is the source of that scene so, it gave him a lot more information cover. I mean this man went well into detail;even about certain camera angles. I truly appreciate his expressed overview on the whole movie and I feel the same about it.
Ito be successful all you need to do is be good at making the most boring thing seem like the only thing in the world. Manipulation, business, law, day-to-day life. This skill is one that should be known. I would leave examples but this is getting too long.
If only the teacher Analized Movie Scenes And Not Science Stuff
The way miles was flailing around while webbing shows that its not over. He's not perfect at web slinging at all, but it's good enough. It's literally a leap of faith.
Now after ATSV, it makes so much sense why miles parkours alot and swings less. After all he wasn't supposed to be Spiderman but instead become the prowler. Mannnnn this franchise IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE.
also, quite a small detail but also a good one: for the whole movie Miles was animated in 12 fps, instead of 24 fps until the leap of faith.

I'm obsessed with the concept that the glass breaks when Miles jumps off the building because he's still nervous & can't unstick his hands because of that fact. I never thought of that. Thanks so much for bringing that little bit of genius to light!!!
Wow I didn’t notice that
same! Hadn't made the connection but it makes so much sense. He's meant to relax and just let go but isn't sure he's ready, but he takes the leap of faith and just goes for it. It's so awesome! This film is just so, so amazing!
you can also see the glass ripple for a few frames before it breaks
damn do yall even pay attention to the movie?
The glass break is the defining moment of the movie for me. It's the part that sells the fact that this IS a leap of faith. If he'd just jumped it would be easy to say, sure they say it's a leap of faith but he's Spider-Man, he was never in danger... but that one tiny addition (alongside the earlier scene that set up that he needs to relax to unstick) really sells to me how terrified he is in that moment, but still commits.
I will always remember when I went to the cinema because I was bored and I bought a ticket to see this movie because it was the only room that had seats. I went without expectation, without seeing any trailer, without knowing the movie existed, and yet when Miles took the leap of faith, I remember getting goosebumps and starting to cry. That scene and that movie has been the greatest work of art that I have ever watched and it was all just by chance.
What’s your opinion on the sequel
It's sooo nice to see that there are people out there who put effort and thought into their movies and don't just make a cash grab
underpaid overworked animators
YES!!! 100% this!!
I've been gradually getting less and less interested in the MCU movies because it feels like Marvel is going for profit first and true cinematic art second. Quantity over quality. It feels like there's always a new MCU movie coming out & it's always a box office breaker, whereas the Spider-Verse creators have been taking their time to perfect the movies and it shows.
Don't get me wrong, I fully recognize that a _lot_ of time and effort and care go into both Spider-Verse AND MCU movies & I've got total respect for those folks. (That's a lot of really hard work!) The MCU movies are still pretty good & are definitely very high production, the Spider-Verse movies just feel different to me.
Also, this isn't any hate to folks who love the MCU, the creators of the MCU, etc., these are just my own thoughts and experiences.
(Edited for formatting)
Imagine making the emoji movie and then literally almost immediately after make this... Sony can be confusing
And that’s what shocks me. They first came out with shit and then came out with a fucking banger!
Sony doesn't make average movies. They are either absolute garbage, or absolute masterpieces.
@@gyojinsho9737 that's facts
They cant make good movies on command
Animation, more than other forms of media, is all about the staff and cast tbh; you can pass a movie with mid direcion, mid actors and mid scores... but that would totally kill an animated feature no matter how big and rich the studio behind it is.
I didn't even notice that Miles was running across the buildings like his uncle. Such a small detail that brings so much depth to Miles morales even more
I didn’t notice it either. I’m still learning about minor details about this movie & it’s intriguing. 👏🏼👏🏼💯💯
What do you mean running across the building like his uncle?
@@elwoodstelhommme8745 16:40 he talks about it here. He identifies they Miles has his own completely unique style of swinging through the cities compared to the other spidies. He's influenced by those around him including his uncle. As the prowler, his uncle parkours across building walls with huge burst of movement. Miles matches this with his own webspinning and spidey movement as he takes his leap of faith. Compare it to Peter Parker, you see him confidently or non-chalantly crawling, walking vertically, or just web spinning across the city walls so there's a direct contrast to Miles making his own identity as Spiderman.
@@alpang6161 Goodness... thanks
@@CalebBerman YES. A LOT.
I still say that this is one of the most perfect movie experiences I've ever had. Usually I'm the type to complain about petty dumb crap with my friends as the credits are rolling and we have our post-movie discussion, but after this movie we just kind of sat there in the theatre seats like, "... we have nothing bad to say about this movie."
Also, want to point out something I realized while watching this video essay is that Fisk is the perfect villain for Miles to face. He represents the societal norm of what it means to be successful: money, power, fame, his own building. However, while Fisk conformed, Miles rose above to conquer and form his own success with the final battle being Miles defiant defeat over "success" as concept of one meaning.
Your looking into the film too much

16:55 Coming back to this great video after watching Across the Spiderverse and gasped at the line ‘In fact, he moves more like his uncle than anyone else…’🤐👀
I’m about a month into living on my own and I’m so glad to have come across this video. It really helped me realize that I’ve already taken my leap of faith and I can do this. Hoping across the spiderverse delivers another moment like that
@Le Fancey Oval here to say that across absolutely had its own leap moment. While not as cinematic it was there
@@theblueone_14I personally think the leap of faith was him running to save his father. You do see a leap there too.
@@Ant.Dab04 yeah there is a leap. I think the more impactful moment for miles “leap” in this movie is when he does the electro palm thing and takes off. The whole running away sequence is the leap
The way he leaps off of rooftops is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.
iykyk

The way he leaps looks at the camera and lands head first
@@jpfoley7544 litterly everyone knows
@@bobataco210 i keep quoting this whenever my lil brother does anything and he’s literally so confused it’s hilarious
My wife was a dancer and she brought a great detail to my attention. In ballet, the only acceptable colors for shoes are pink and white. Gwen’s being a greenish color is the ballet version of punk.
It could just be different realities…
@@Jayquinator-X this
thats the only acceptable colors yh ...........ask your wife about black ballet dancer they wear different shades of brown shoes...........
@@iteitsmeok she’s never heard of it. She says she’s only say white and pink. Either way, I think the point still stands.
@@Jayquinator-X sure maybe. But considering Gwen is in a punk band in the comics, I think it’s probably a punk thing and not a reality thing. But I dunno. It’s a cool detail.
The camera angles and character positions in this animation speaks so much too. You see it in the beginning of the movie through the end. The camera flows, almost walking alongside Miles as he talks and waves to his peers. It swings, bounces, turning and connects his comfort zone. But when he’s in the academy, it is centered on him in the middle of attention. It’s stuck in a static position, staying the same and cold.
Then there’s the beginning with his fathers. Position farther and looks smaller compared to his father, who’s upfront and at a angle with him. The lightening is dull inside, yet the light outside is warm, almost out of reach.
It’s true, perspectives make a change.
as a teen i was always lamenting the fact that i was born too late to experience a lot of the things i'm into now, but im so, so happy that i was born at just the right time to see this movie in theaters during my own formative teen-young adult years. i always considered myself an artist and a storyteller, but i was literally a changed person after walking out of the theaters that night
I think the final “hey.” With Fisk was the best way to end it. An homage to his uncle.
Yeahhh it was
Kida clishe but every movie need a clishe line i guess
I think it's poetic that the thing that his uncle taught him, the 'hey', was the main thing that beat Kingpin, the man who killed his uncle in the first place
Think it was a tip of hat to Carl Young the philosopher. Who said our consciousness is the tip of the ice berg. There is so much more of us that exist in the subconscious. We must master the dark side to become the whole. Like, when Pinocchio and his father are swallowed by the whale. He has to light a fire from wood face his fear to set them free from the whale then he becomes a real boy.
“Chekhov’s gun has been loaded and the safety is off” is such an amazing line
Agreed
Firing on full auto
More like bufords canoe
He used Chekhov's Gun as a Chekhov's Gun.
to this day the leap of faith scene gets me teary eyed. There is so much catharsis in that scene. It's beautiful and heartbreaking, cool and impressive. And that moment caught in slow motion, where he is rising instead of falling is truly the pinnacle of it all bc that's what *faith* is. It is small like miles is in the frame, and with those looming challenges that surround you on your way down it is that one thing that gets you up. Faith. That's all it is.
everything is great about this film, but my most favourite scene in it is the leap of faith. It includes Miles still being kind of afraid to do it, backing off a bit forward, and taking away some glass at the jump. Miles is faced off by his great fears, and the music with the silence before the jump makes you know that. It feels so powerful I can't even describe it.

It is interesting since you have anime directors like Satoshi Kon and Sushio who have entirely different animation (and directorial) styles, though we’ve all sort of agreed what in general looks like anime.
it's kinda funny how if this movie gets a sequel (which it probably will), there's gonna be so much expectations and hype around it that the directors are gonna have to take the leap of faith to release it
I see what u did there, I salute u sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
im late but the sequel is coming out soon!! they changed some heads of department during production, but i really do believe that they’ll do it justice :D
This is what bums me out. I have faith in them, but it was such a stunning movie, that I don't know if anything can live up to all this hype. The expectation is like nothing I've ever seen because the movie is like nothing I've ever seen.

by far this has to be one of the best video essay I have come across on this app. after watching ‘across the spiderverse’ and then immediately being recommended to me, I’ve been in awe of just how genuine this entire franchise has been.
Not only is what makes Miles’ story and what it reflects successful, it’s also love they put into this movie as a whole. As someone who is also afro-latino, I see myself a lot in him with the way he interacts with his parents and how they do with him. Seeing someone who honestly looks like I could be related to be the protagonist of one of the most beautiful and impactful cinematic movies makes me so happy.
You did an amazing job analyzing this movie, it was genuinely so special and captured the beauty of ‘into the spiderverse’ perfectly :)
41 years old and this is very possibly my favourite film of all time. It's a masterpiece.
I’m right there with you brother. 41 years old and I can’t believe how perfectly the ideas and emotions were conveyed in this whole movie. It’s an absolute masterpiece. And we get to share it.
I like how the sounds in “What’s up danger” Sounds similar to the prowler theme, symbolizing that Miles is not running away from the danger, but now running to it, hence the name of the song
The prowler theme backwards is actually miles theme
He IS the danger!

I’m sitting here in absolute tears. I haven’t been able to lay a finger on why this movie means so much to me. Now it makes so much sense. I’m right where Miles is, trapped in the in between, longing to be myself and survive- to live. I’m overwhelmed by the fears that I will stumble and my life will crumble. My hands are still stuck to the glass. Now I realize I can’t wait till I’m not scared. It’s all I can do. It’s what I’m supposed to do. I’m inspired to take the leap.
Saying Miles moves like his Uncle (the Prowler) hits a lot different after the second movie lmao

When Miles meets Peter Parker for the first time, the effects above his head are green and purple. This suggests (at least in my opinion) that he’s going down the path of his uncle, whose colors are also green and purple. Then... they turn red and blue just like Peter Parker’s Spider-Man. This suggests he’s ready to follow the path of Spider-Man. Thoughts?
i never noticed until another y-tuber pointed it out. thats just really cool aesthetic story telling and alternate-foreshadowing
Do you mean Peter b Parker or blondie Spider-Man
Because they made the background green and purple to show that his spider sense is slow and was still warning him about a danger that had just happened

I really like the point about the Prowler influences. Great catch there.
If you watch the movie again when he first meet spiderman you can see behind miles the color of the prowler turning into blue and red cause he leaving the influence of his uncle
He is Spider-Man, and as such had to lose someone. The fact that His uncle was set up as such a good person and influence to miles, and the fact that he died due to miles and his inability to “take care” of him, just hurts, and makes it so emotional, and has so much impact because we weren’t Expecting his uncle to be the one to die

I like how there’s also apathetic cynical adult Peter Parker, who has lost his spark. Although you can find it when you are young it’s easy to lose it when you’re older but you can still be inspired and reconnect by taking those same risks you do when you’re young.
Peter B. Parker is such an interesting character, his journey to take a leap of faith about having kids just as Miles needed one to face his responsibilities instead of running from them is amazing (and kind of the same concept if we think about how rasing a child is a BIG responsibility) honestly, my favourite moment is when he tells Miles how proud he's of him lmao

In reality, from the tiny glimpse we get of Peter, we know that even he can't live up to this ideal. He says he's tired, and it doesn't feel like he's talking about just this one fight - he's tired of having to be the perfect Peter Parker.

I know this video is years old but I feel as though it came into my life at the perfect time. I am sure I am much older the the creator however I am here to say the message can resonate at even a much different time in life, not just youth. Your impression and understanding of the underlying messages throughout this film are spot on, brilliant, and perfectly crafted and worded. I would like you to know that,like the movie, your video has purpose in helping others to see the truth inside of themselves. Thank you sincerely for putting the time and effort into making this. And don't stop being you.
Reminder that during his early “test-run”, he tries to jump towards a rooftop next to the Trust Us Bank but ends up tripping on his shoe laces. Fast forward to the leap of faith, and one of the emphasized scenes was him successfully jumping across onto that very same bank
Same building? Good find
I don’t usually watch a CZcams video twice…
I watched this 3 times.
I literally got chills at 1:30 off of that 1 second with no audio, that is how good it is. and how much nostalgia is seared in.
This movie legit still brings me to tears. It is an absolute masterpiece.
Fr? It wasn't intended to be sad right?
@@andrewloris3209 there are some seriously sad moments, and some beautifully moving scenes too. I think it's one of the best animated movies ever made, not just Spider-Man, but animated.
@@EndureTyrant it truly is the greatest animated movie ever made in my humble opinion.
Spirited away, The Lion King and other Studio Ghibli movies may (or may not) come close but they don't bring out emotions in me quite like Spider-Man: ITSV does.
This will truly become a classic in the years to come 💯
@@peterdante1946 I'm saying just on a technical level, the skill of the writing, the animation quality, the story itself, etc. This movie is significantly better than most of the movies you mentioned on all of these fronts. I think even as a non Spiderman fan, this movie is still one of the best animated films of all time. I love Spiderman, but I didn't have any real connection to any of the characters in this movie specifically, they had to earn that. I still ended up loving this movie above all the others. Spiderman was solidified as my favorite superhero, and this movie is actually a part of that. Now, you could make the argument that this movie doesn't work as well if you're not a fan of superhero movies, but I don't think you need to be a Spiderman fan to have it connect on the same level.
The way he leaps off buildings and faces the camera before going into a headfirst dive is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen
What?

I can't escape this meme-
Seeing this scene in theaters was CHILLING. Full body goosebumps and tears of emotional release.
You put it pretty much perfectly with how you broke down and described the movie. It was insane watching it for the first time and I wish I could feel how I felt again for the first time when watching him take that leap. Full body chills and fully swept up in emotions. Amazing video!
Not only does Miles's "parkour" style of webslinging represent his influence from his uncle, it also references earlier in the movie when he says he prefers running over slinging. It's satisfying to watch him use webs to boost his running and jumping because it represents him combining the two aspects of himself, Miles and Spiderman, into one fluid and robust style of movement that perfectly encapsulates who he is.
Was going to say the same thing (glad I scrolled down!) - the line earlier that he runs better than he swings, but Peter insisting he swing, it mirrors all of the themes of self versus the expectations of others. In most movies it would be a throwaway joke like, "haha look he can't swing so he's just running instead", but here its a core part of the theme and it comes full circle to Miles creating his own unique way of navigating the city.
As an old lady, raised in the Bronx who remembers watching Spiderman on a Saturday morning I can't put into words how much joy this film gave me. At last Spiderman could be kid like those I grew up with. Every accolade it got was so well deserved.
@@CalebBerman eh god is fake as hell lol
@@CalebBerman what was the point of this on a Spider-Man video?
@@CalebBerman uhm ok. what does this have to do with spiderman
Hell yeah girl
SPOILER FOR ATSV
Saying Miles moves like his uncles was an incredible observation... a multimovie pay off for who Miles was meant to be
Something i never realised about the cop car scene. When we see Miles POV, the steel grid is there, reflecting how he feels trapped by his dad’s expectations. But when it’s filpped to his Dads POV the grid isn’t there anymore
"this is what it looks like when Chekov's gun is fired in full auto"
Pew pew pew!
I’m impressed that a middle schooler can handle this much stress in a matter of like 2 days
It's the rite of passage for any spiderman
If that happens to me I just explode and sleep
Well middle schoolers handle stress all the time
@@deadchannel2468 not THAT much stress
I just say f*ck and I chill, and do it when the time comes. But it doesn’t always work out
It’s my favorite movie, I watched it 5 times in theaters. I’d never felt so connected with a piece of art before, I was absolutely mesmerized each time I saw it.
Man I got to take notes , this essay was so compelling and beautiful just to listen to with such complex themes and allergists with not slim assumptions but rather solid inferences and context
Incredible work
I don’t know if anybody noticed but Miles is literally just a middle schooler! A MIDDLE SCHOOLER! He saved the world as a middle schooler while when the others became spider people when they were in high school. That makes it more challenging for Miles bc he’s only like 12 or 13. At that age your discovering a lot of things abt growing up. He became Spider-Man in middle school which makes him less qualified than the others, making him learn and grow even more than them.
Yeah he’s 14 in eighth grade in the movie I think
Hes a freshman in high-school during the events of the movie. 14 years old
He is in high school
In the movie he said “Why can’t I just go back to Brooklyn Middle?” You might be right but I think that he is a middle schooler.
@@morganbraxton6823 he is 14 and he got skipped the rest of eighth grade to enroll in Brooklyn visions
One of my favourite moments is after this scene when goes to help out at the collider and makes his first appearance as Spider-Man, Peter calls him "Miles", but Doc Oc who has been calling the normal Spider-Man "Peter" for the entire film calls Miles "Spider-Man"
well...yeah. She doesn't know who Miles is, lol
I really liked that scene, as Doc Ock seems to finally realise who Miles is - he's Spider-man
To add to that comment, when it’s time for Gwen to go back to her universe, she calls Miles « Spider-Man » for the first time. She finally recognizes him worthy of the title of Spider-Man, which makes this goodbye scene so much more powerful ... and thank god they didn’t kiss and just became friends instead because it is not the purpose of the plot. Anyway I thought that it was also important to mention
Oh my god the uncle movement foreshadow.
I feel like whiplash is, the end scene is very impactful showing that everything that his life has led up to, the thing is it can be taken in two ways. A very touching scene that shows that his dreams have been made after all of his hard work. Or Andrew's teacher way of abusive teaching finally produces results, Andrew going into the isolation of music, and his dad realizing he's now drowning in drums and isolating himself from anyone else just to work on drums even more, as this was proven after he broke up with his girlfriend.
although its just my opininion :)
I rewatched this movie over the summer and I felt the same intense emotions I did from my first viewing. Especially the “Leap Of Faith” scene; I cried both times over how incredible the scene is and still remains to be.
C H I L L S
i hear you
I literally cry every time
@@gelso22 me too
Yes
This guy taught me about this scene better than any of my English teachers teaching me about Macbeth
Lmaaooo
So, even though I specifically tested to make sure this weird aspect ratio worked on youtube and found that they apparently had me covered, turns out, end screens are not supported on this type of video.
I should also mention that this video was instantly demonetized because I wanted it to have relevant music, so I can't profit from this video at all. No ad revenue, no sending people to my other content. It all goes to the asshole copyright claimers.
So, since I don't have an end screen: Please subscribe! And also, have a look at some of my other content while you're here! There isn't a lot of it, but I'd really appreciate it. Here's the link to the playlist: czcams.com/play/PLKibjhi_YRRbRdMznGM7v1sKjOhKG6OiJ.html
@@michaelking4259 Why did you just copy the creator's pinned comment here?
Fr bro, I have no clue what lord of the flies is about 😂😭
Dude no joke I’m so lucky, my English teacher is wonderful. He’s hilarious and an effective teacher, he’s similar to a college professor.
The leap of faith scene has always given me goosebumps, but your narration alongside it really bumped it up to a whole other level. Awesome video.
this movie makes me cry each time i sit down and watch it and goddamn this video brought me to tears. it summarized everything i love about this movie so eloquently and just reminded me of my own life to a startling extent. great video, man!
Miles' character arc even has a meta element with this movie. For a long time, Miles was just another Spider-Man. The black Spider-Man. The replacement Spider-Man. Anything you could get from him, you'd just get from Peter, as no one understood what made Miles stand out.
Suddenly, thanks to this movie, Miles' popularity exploded. Everyone wanted more of him because he truly came into his own. He wasn't just another Peter Parker, he is Miles Morales. He's getting more presence in the comics, he's being talked about more, and got his own video game just recently.
Both in the story and in a meta element, Miles finally became Spider-Man. *His* Spider-Man.
yeah the movie def increased his popularity and also fixed some of his story imo. Such as making his family be like an average family in brooklyn, instead of his comic book counterpart where his father is a Shield agent.
And just like you said, this film finally gave Miles what he deserves. He finally became what his creator wanted him to be, Spider-Man. No longer is he some replacement for Peter but actually Spider-Man.
To me they also mocked, in a sense, the spiderman that the public is supposedly comparing miles to, which is peter parker.
Its like they forgot that peter parker is far from perfect. A lot of people was saying, there is nothing that wouldnt make miles just the second spiderman. Like peter is everything that is the superhero.
They literally made a perfect spiderman and killed him. Right in front of us and miles.
The real, actual peterparker that we have, P b P, is shown and he is broken. Its actually sad to see him on screen and it shows that non of the spiderman was ever ready to take the role not even the original one and miles is the same.
Thats what makes them admirable that what makes him THE spiderman.
@@Jester8492 i didn't like miles original run in the comics forma few reasons like the one you've mentioned. I love this movie.
you forgot to say that his father said "he sees an incredible spark within him" and then he freed himself with his sparky power
he did
@@benjaminmalaihollo7823 no he didn't
@@shaharsdechen2537 9:39 literally.
@@benjaminmalaihollo7823 he said that now he has control. And showed the clip of him freeing himself but he didn't say anything about the sparky powers
@@shaharsdechen2537 ohh i got you.. yeah he shouldve added that
wow I never knew it went that deep that's amazing
this is the kind of video essay i hope to continue seeing on my recommended. Bravo Blizzic, truly great work.
never caught that Miles and his uncle have the same moves. I'm crying a little
I'm a 28 year old man and the scene when his dad talks to him through the door makes me cry abit every time because my dad is a lot like that he's always pushed me and I find myself doing the same thing with my step kids and will probably do the same with my twin babies Luke and leia
@@havefun9120 no mate gets me every time then I get chills when he breaks free from the chair n goes and gets his suit
uuuh are you darth vader
@@daftbanna7202 yes
>darth vader pfp
>"luke and leia"
ANYBODY WHO ONLY NEEDS TO KNOW STAR WARS EXISTED WOULD GET THIS REFERENCE.
Welp it is confirmed he is in fact a father just from the sole fact that he is naming his twins luke and leia
This is such a good analysis video. The mix of your own personal emotions towards the movie just added so much to it, and it emphasized the passion in the movie and the video itself. I thought this would just be a simple video about just that scene but you did so much more. Amazing, loved it!!
Great video and amazing breakdown on what leads up to that particular scene.
