Let's Talk Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

SPOILERS BELOW and fair warning that this article is absolutely unhinged, me screaming about everything I loved about this film. Okay thanks, read at your own risk <3 :)

Listen guys. I know this post is late. I usually post my blogs on Mondays. BUT. There is good reason. I wanted to wait to write this blog TODAY because I actually went to see the movie a ​second time last night, and wanted get all my thoughts in order. So without further ado, let's talk about this PERFECT PIECE OF CINEMA.

I literally do not have a single bad thing to say about this movie. It is literally everything I could have asked for in a Spider-Man film. The cameos were EVERYTHING and the fact that we got live action human beings in there as well as the animation opens the door for SO MANY POSSIBILITIES?! LIKE HELLO!!!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE MCU. Sorry to yell, you all just know how passionate I am about any variation of Spidey. Also not to mention the absolute love of my life, Peter Parkedcar, so glad our homie made an appearance <3 love him!

Miles' character development? Chef's kiss. The plot? Chef's kiss. The ANIMATION?! CHEFS. KISS. Everything. Everything about this. Was so good. I loved that they gave us so much into Gwen's world (her animation was? So beautiful?!) and also how they let us into some of Miles' current Spidey life before jumping us right into the action and the thick of the main plot. Also, I love how Spot's main motive was that he was hit with a bagel 😭 I'm crying, that was hilarious.

The jokes in this movie were TOO good, like the baby powder mess up that Miles had, and the "are you a cow or a Dalmatian" PLS. There are so many more I can't even think of off the top of my head writing this right now, but it was just absolutely hilarious. I could not stop laughing the entire film.

Not to mention the freaking PLOT TWIST OF AN ENDING HELLO?! Okay so as soon as Miles glitched and we realized he was in a different universe than his own, I had some feeling he was going to be evil/The Prowler in Earth-42 and I was so excited when that became true. It just makes the plot so juicy, man. So rich. Also when I did my rewatch last night I noticed there were a couple hints that he was in the wrong universe that I missed the first time around. Like, for example, Miles' mom's eyes are GREEN in Earth 42! So neat. 

Mayday was the cutest little baby I adore her and Peter's whole speech about how he loves Miles and that's why he had her. It's so great to see Peter so happy after having a movie where he was so sad. 10/10 for him, what an icon. He deserves it.

This article is just stream of consciousness today, wow. I can't LOL.

Okay but real talk though. It was so cool to see all the Spidey variants. I loved the soundtrack. I loved the weight of the plot, and how it wasn't over dramatic but wasn't under dramatic either. It sat right where it needed to. And that "Nah, imma do my own thing" line gives me CHILLS every time I watch. God. This takes the cake, you guys. This takes the cake for my favorite Spidey film. I'm telling you. It's so perfect. Everything about this. 

If this was Part 1, I can't even imagine what Part 2 is going to have. And we get our OGs BACK! SPIDER-HAM! SPIDER-MAN NOIR! PENNY! Oh I can't wait. March can't come soon enough!

And the new characters were so fun! Spider-Punk and Spider-Man India and Spider-Man 2099. God. I fell in love with their characters instantly. (Also not Miguel being the angriest LOL he was so grumpy gus the whole movie, love that for him).

An absolute 10/10 my favorite movie this year so far. I cannot wait to rewatch this a hundred thousand more times in theaters, and then a trillion more when I own it. Thank you Marvel. THANK YOU SPIDER-VERSE. I love this.
