This movie was an interesting feeling for me. I loved every second of it, especially the visuals. Miles escaping the spider society was incredible. The fight with Spot at the begging was hilarious.
But I had two pieces of “commentary” on the film.
The first: they positioned Miles as this outside to the spider-verse for wanting to save his dad, but Holland’s Peter (connected by both Glover and Miguel’s mention of earth 199999) also ignored multiverse rules with how he dealt with the villains in No Way Home. All the live action spider men actually participated in that, so why is it a problem for Miles?
The second is the pacing: really wish I had known it was a part 1. The entire movie felt like an intro, not in a bad way, but in a “how the hell are they going to wrap all of this up?!” As the movie was going on. The theater I was in audibly groaned when to be continued popped up on the screen.
Well, the rules for the multiverse between the Spiderverse movies and the MCU seem to differ despite being the same, this is a plot hole to be solved, on the MCU we have people from alternative universes staying long-term with no damage to it all, in the Spiderverse they have "canon" which threatens it all, there was no such thing on the MCU.
I hope they explain away the divergence.
Kind of... there's incursions, which the Illuminati from Multiverse of Madness warned Strange about and captured him to avoid. The only one that wasn't really causing problems hoping multiverses was America - who has powers specifically related to it and was described as a nexus being IIRC.
I wonder if you'd describe Miguel's situation where he replaced the dead version of himself and the universe collapsed an incursion? If so, I think it lines up.
My thoughts were way more about how Miles is imprisoned for wanting to save his dad and prevent a canon event, while MCU Peter was an off-the-cuff mention of something Miguel had to clean up when he clearly prevented multiple canon events for the other live action Spidermen.
Agree with the second there.did some some small bits of filler, during it I felt like "no wonder this is two hours if they labour some of these scenes" before I realised it is more like a 4hour film
For the first one wasn't Miguel:s comment you mention hating on Holland, so is a problem. (Maybe strange reverted the issues or maybe Miguel isn't a reliable narrator)
