Best CBM of the year.
Maybe even best film, period.
Best CBM of the year.
I was just watching something on YouTube about this and someone had mentioned how the movie within seconds of screentime established subtle character traits of Miles that never have been and should've been in the comic, and why the movie version is such an improvement. One good example they gave was us getting to see Miles interact with his old classmates/friends on the way to school which was a subtle show of the struggle Miles has with having to code his personality for the elite school he's now attending.
Miles in the film is constantly faced with great life changes that he has to adapt to, in order to survive beyond being Spider-Man and the school thing for example is something the comics never truly explored which really could've differentiated Miles from Ultimate Peter-Lite.
Lol whatMiles in the film is constantly faced with great life changes that he has to adapt to, in order to survive beyond being Spider-Man and the school thing for example is something the comics never truly explored which really could've differentiated Miles from Ultimate Peter-Lite.
I mean he did step enough away from Peter that Homecoming lifted thingsHe's right. Miles in the comics is just sort of bland. He has a sick costume, awesome powers, and he's like...Peter-lite. As someone else said, I felt I knew Miles better after watching him sing at his art desk for 5 minutes than I have after reading his comics for 4 years. Granted, I've only ever sporadically read his comics, but, for a character who has only practically had one writer, he had no voice of his own. Strange. No disrespect to Bendis, as Miles is a great concept, but it seemed like he was afraid to step away from the Peter Parker model to make him his own great thing. Happily, the movie had no such qualms!
The movie took more from Spider-Men than Spider-Verse. I think Spider-verse was used because it was more than just Miles and PeterI’m not a fan of the Spider-Verse. And this has a lot to do with the comics that were being written—I felt the writing itself was subpar and I also was not a fan of the status quo at the time for Peter. IMO, I felt I had good enough reasons of my own to not want to see this. Long story short, if that’s still possible, I’m happy to say I was wrong.

Lol what
Bendis and Pichelli did exactly this in the first few Miles issues
This differences between the movie and comic version are really not that much. It’s great to prefer one version but no need to exaggerate.
Two things. First, I said that I heard this from a podcast on YouTube and my entire post was paraphrasing.
Second, even though it was the podcaster who said it, I believe he's right from what I recall. When did we ever see Miles interact with his old classmates before he went to Visions? We only saw him feeling a little unworthy in issue 1 because of the lottery, but his parents and Aaron tell him to feel otherwise and its kind of dropped. Then in issue 2 Ganke and him hit it off immediately and we don't see the struggle of the switch from the inner city school Miles once attended to Visions. In the film we actually see him quickly interact with old classmates clearly speaking differently than when he codes himself later at Visions. Then we're shown him already starting off on a wrong foot with his classmates and even one of them clown him for having his shoes untied. We then see him not feeling the vibe there and trying to actively fail.
What issue(s) did we see this in from Ultimate Spider-Man because I honestly don't recall.
That shot of Miles falling/rising is now as iconic as the upside down kiss.
Starting to see Spider-Verse pop up on top 10 lists for the year. I wonder if we'll start to see momentum for an actual best picture nom? Either way, this has definitely made it's mark.
Thanks for the summary since he didn't seem to get to the discussion at least a third of the way through the video.Found this video interesting.
Short summery...It plays with the idea that Aunt May may have been ex lovers or/and science rivals with Liv/Dr Octopus.
You got to love twitter. Phil just replied to my tweet and confirmed that he was setting up this version of Aunt May to be a Q type character. Didn't say anything was set in stone, but it sounds like he was playing with the idea, and if fans like it, then hopefully they will be encouraged to peruse that idea in the sequel.Thanks for the summary since he didn't seem to get to the discussion at least a third of the way through the video.
It seems a stretch to me. The impression I got from the movie was that Aunt May learned these things because of Peter but, even if it's the other way around that doesn't mean it has anything to do with Livia Octavius.
