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?
