Got to see the new Spider-Verse movie and y’all. I’m so happy. That was such a successful triumph in animation and story-telling. Wholesome, heart-warming, exciting, nerve-wracking – everything you need in a story. Congratulations to a wonderful team for making such a beautiful story. My favorite part about these designs is how expressive the Spidey-eyes are. My heart panicked every time Miles was happy and his eyes did the happy squinty thing.
God but like, how cool is it that for some kids, *Miles Morales* is going to be their Spider-Man ???
Like, kids who might have been too young to see the MCU stuff yet will go see their first Spider-Man movie and who’s the main character???? Someone who isn’t white???? From the state of movies these days it’s surprising to discover that there are other non-white superheros out there who aren’t from Wakanda (forever) or played by Scarlett Johansson,,, but now damn it there’s a whole FILM FRANCHISE centered around this adorable Afro-Latino boy and ugh the world isn’t as dark as we thought.
For real tho, I’m so glad that Miles is making his big screen debut in a children’s movie. Like representation is important for everyone but we gotta prioritize the kiddos y’all, and while Spiderverse is 100% perfect for all ages it’s accessible for the little ones in a way that live-action superhero films sometimes aren’t. Like, I got my nephew every BP toy I could get my hands on and he wenr crazy, but I didn’t take him to the actual movie seeing how he’s is seven and still scared of the animated penguins in Mary Poppins.
But now???? I brought my nephew when I was invited to an early screening of Spiderverse and i shat you not he freaked when he saw that Spider-Man got an Afro too (sidenote: he’s also suddenly a vegetarian because he doesn’t want to accidentally eat Spider-Ham but that’s another story).
AnywaY, everyone should go see Spiderverse when it’s in wide release it’s fun for all ages
My friend told me his younger sister came back from Spider-Man: Homecoming thoroughly unimpressed and wondering why Spider-Man was white
It begins
Into the Spiderverse made Aunt May basically Alfred Pennyworth in terms of sheer badassery and skill and I cannot express how much I am here for that. She beat up supervillains!!! With a fucking baseball bat!!! she designed and built her own web-slingers!!!
She is my HERO.
