I watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse after Christmas with my elderly Uncle Ben (who didn’t know enough about Spider-Man to understand why that’s funny). The movie is AMAZING. It felt like being inside of a comic book, except better somehow. It totally redefined what a superhero movie can be.

Highlights:

Miles being a street artist
Miles designing his own costume
Miles wearing the costume with his regular clothes
His relationship with his dad (THE HUG)(also their reconciliation when he offers a wall at the police station for Miles to legally paint!)
His relationship with Aaron Davis in this movie. Uncle Aaron actually cares about him a lot and is the only family member supportive of Miles's art. That made his arc all the more tragic.
Miles in general
Gwen in general
Peter the hobo
Other spider-characters
Visuals
Music
Peter pretending to be asleep so Miles and Gwen could bond (awww)
The leap of faith
THE LEAP OF FAITH
The entire final battle
The credits
The Christmas album (“I have a degree in chemical engineeeeeering”)

Was there anything I didn’t like? I wish Miles could have gotten more screen time, but I understand their decision to make this an ensemble movie. I want future movies focusing on his own adventures and a solo Gwen adventure. I hope the MCU doesn’t mess Miles up when they finally introduce him as a hero. If they introduce him as a hero—what if the Miles mention in Homecoming was just an Easter egg?
