Just watched Into the Spider-Verse...
- Thread starter Altair
- Start date
Imagine that - for some people fast media consumption is not the #1 priority in life.
This is on my list as well to watch. Not that I forgot about it or pushing it off for something else, but I want to watch this when I get my new setup later this year so I can watch it in the best possible manner outside of the theater. I'm doing the same for a bunch of movies I haven't seen yet as well.
A year though...to set aside 2 hours for your favorite Spidey doesn't seem odd. Have you not watched 2 hours of content in that period?
You can place me on ignore if my comments offend you.
Not that hard.
OP
OP
Like I said, I kind of forgot about it. I saw it when browsing Netflix. I don't know why Miles being my favorite Spidey means the movie has to be at the forefront of my mind at the time. Batman is my favorite DC hero, but I didn't see Batman Begins or The Dark Knight rises right away either.
I thought the marketing for this movie was awful. The trailers cut around too much, making the comic book style look weird and janky, and the scene they showed after Venom is still probably my least favorite scene in the movie.
I wasn't too excited to see it, but I was so impressed by it. I thought Miles, Peter, and Gwen were phenomenal, and while I didn't care much for two of the other three since they were largely just comic relief, they were never overly annoying, and Nicolas Cage's Spider Noir Had the film's best lines.
It's really pretty, and once 8k becomes more of a thing, I'm excited to see this movie in it. I still prefer Far From Home to it, but it's probably my #2 favorite Spidey movie.

It just struck me as odd seeing as you said he was your favorite. It actually doesn't really matter. You finally saw it, as you said.
This isn't very nice.
I can't tell if you're shaming the OP for not putting the time aside or calling them a liar, but either way, why bother? They seemed to have enjoyed the movie so why not just celebrate that?
MUST KEEP...QUOTING ME.
You can feel free to hit the ignore any time you like, friend.
I told the OP why i found it odd and dropped it.
I mean I have a favorite transformer and haven't seen a whole anything of transformers in 30 years.
My favorite metal band - who I love - doesn't necessarily get me to buy every album.
I also have a favorite IPA and I don't even like IPA.
I really enjoyed S1 of Baki but haven't watched S2.
Like the OP I often catch up on shit I love and regret not doing it sooner. It's fine. It's normal.
WHAT'S UP STRANGER!
I just watched this again with the kids and I didnt know it had a post credit scene.
It was Fantastic!
It was Fantastic!
Unlike Transformers in the last 30 years, Spiderverse was really good!
So i don't blame ya!
At least the dude is admitting he should be put on ignore by everyone.
Anyway I love Spider-Verse to bits and it's my all time favourite superhero movie but the misuse of the rest of the Spiders except for Gwen (who even then is kinda eh) and that scene where Miles' dad finds his brother in a supervillain costume and pays no mind to this, develop a grudge against Spider-Man, and then get over it for the finale, are two pretty big blemishes on an otherwise flawless pastry.

This is a low key Spider Pig shade!
It's the cassette tape guy
His name is Soundwave and he is friends with all of his cassettes.
I just gave myself a bum stroke listening to that with the subwoofer under this sofa
It's a point I saw in a thread where a character's death was spoiled in the thread title. It's a surprisingly common viewpoint, though maybe not so surprising on a forum where many people are constantly hooked into entertainment culture.
That scene still gives me chills. So good.
Yeah, watching it in 4k you can actually see that the movie looks like a living comic book.
I still have the Soundwave model that could play cassettes.
This thing:
Just to be clear I'm talking exclusively about the always-online Era/miscellaneous Internet culture that goes out of their way to see (subjectively, OBVIOUSLY) inferior superhero films, often multiple times (hence the Aquaman comment) but for whatever reason just can't bother giving Spider-Verse a chance and act like it's this huge shock when they like it even though everyone said they would.
I'm aware no one can make time for everything, lord knows there's plenty of nerd stuff I've missed out on (I didn't see Lord of the Rings for like, ten years). I just always seem to see this weirdly dismissive attitude about Spider-Verse from the people who haven't seen it, and when they finally get around to watching the damn thing do a total 180 on. If you go through the old box office threads or early discussions about it on this forum you'll see plenty of examples. Hell I swear I've even seen a few people on here explicitly rule out seeing it in theaters because it's animated, which is just bizarre to me.

It has become my favorite super hero film by a pretty wide margin. I love the different styles of animation, the soundtrack, the characters. I love it all. I wish they did a lot more animate hero films with this kind of love and attention. Miles was always a character that had a lot of potential to be truly great, and I feel like this movie has really helped people understand why he is such a good addition to the franchise.
I mean, that should have been the job of the comics that he originates from. But they sucked. Spiderverse had the nigh-impossible task of not only delivering on the multiverse pitch that likely got it greenlit in first place (cause Sony probably doesn't want two Spider-Man franchises focusing on the solo careers of a single Spider-Man), but simultaneously rehabilitating Miles and finally making him work as a lead character.
It still amazes me that they managed to pull all this off, and in under two hours to boot. Lord and Miller are running circles around most of Hollywood at this point.
One of the best. Smiling from ear to ear the whole time I watched this film. Plus it got me to like Miles, and for that I will be forever grateful
Couldn't care less about Marvel movies, I liked the first two Rami Spiderman but that's the extent of my comic book affinity. I gave this movie a shot a few months ago at the recommendation from my SO and was blown away. Absolutely fantastic and gorgeous movie
It's a solid movie with a beautiful art direction. But I feel the art direction kind of carries the film.
