At 7:30 PM EST, we shall convene here to collectively watch and kvell over Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, objectively the best Spider-Man movie to date. Whether this is your first time meeting Miles Morales or you wrote your dissertation on him, we’re confident you’ll have a grand time.
My boyfriend gets moderately annoyed at how quickly Miles's dad's seemingly lifelong vendetta against Spider-Man evaporates the second he sees him fighting Kingpin but I actually think that's ONE OF THE BEST THINGS
Wanna give a shout-out to Shameik Moore's performance, too (I'm going to do this with everyone, probably). He's great in Hulu's Wu-Tang: An American Saga, in a wildly different role (as the future Raekwon the Chef). I love what he's doing with his voice in this performance -- it's so recognizably a young teen caught between his innate sweetness & desire to BE somebody
I can't find it at the moment but there's a GREAT video explaining how the animators animated Peter's swinging differently than Miles, giving him way more frames per second to highlight hoe much more swing-proficient he is
If you had asked me before this movie, I think I might have said that we did not need another Spider-Man origin story and I would have been ABSOLUTELY wrong. It really shows that the problem with so many reboots and origin stories isn't the fact of them, but that they aren't innovative enough.
On one hand it's ridiculous how man Spiders Men I have seen in my lifetime. On the other MAN are rapid onset superpowers a great analogy for puberty

I love that this movie is fundamentally about how to be a member of a healthy, loving family
Spider-Noir and the Rubic's Cube: a couple for the ages
"DO I WANT KIDS???" is not not something I ask myself every time I interact with an especially great teen (c.f. Dame Sophie's perfect daughter)
Peter B. losing his shit about the bread
AHHHHH YES HERE IT IS MY FAVORITE
MY PIZZA JUST GOT HERE THANK GOD
Lily Tomlin voicing Aunt May makes her canonically gay, which means she and Doc Oc definitely dated
We don't need the monitor is a
TRUE CLASSIC
Spider-Man quip

if I had a car with a loudspeaker
this is EXACTLY how I'd use it
The dimensions colliding makes me think of the cover for Taffy Brodesser-Akner's Fleishman Is In Trouble
John Mulaney is perhaps the most inspired voice casting in an extremely well-cast movie
THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING OUR PARTY
spidey bells what a classic tune
I love that Aunt May also calls it a goober
YOU could wear the mask
Spider-Man's emotions are both his REAL superpower AND his undoing
I can't find it at the moment but there's a GREAT video explaining how the animators animated Peter's swinging differently than Miles, giving him way more frames per second to highlight hoe much more swing-proficient he is
This scene is so genuinely scary-- Predator is so well-designed
man when Miles sings along but doesn't know all the words, I just died
RUDE TO POINT
honestly p. considerate of Fisk to wait until Spider-Man gets up again
Emmys news thread for those who want it
this incredible bummer of a reveal
SPIDER-GWENNNNNNN
Doc Oc is the only women with white dreads who could get it
but she could
THE PIZZA SLICE GLITCHING
Doc Oc
Could Get the HELL Out Of It
Is this actually Chris Pine singing as Spidey???
Bryan Tyree Henry's Dadness is truly *chef's kiss*
I hope everyone has hit play!
So glad they worked in an anvil joke for Peter Porker.
If you had asked me before this movie, I think I might have said that we did not need another Spider-Man origin story and I would have been ABSOLUTELY wrong. It really shows that the problem with so many reboots and origin stories isn't the fact of them, but that they aren't innovative enough.
"My friends actually call me Liv. My enemies call me Doc Oc." is so amazing! One of my absolute favorite lines.
I love that singing a song he doesn't know the words to is what he does to relax. It is extremely relatable.
I feel like if I went to an alternate universe I would also go to my favorite restaurants and stores that have closed...
“A child dressed like Spider-Man dragging a homeless corpse”
This might be my favorite Stan Lee cameo. Seems very fitting - both the statement and that salesman portrayal.
