I need to make a comment about the Christmas songs. I watched this movie today and the point where Spidey sings Jingle Bells in it I swore I heard him sing ‘Batman’ in there... The version in the credits however was the normal version. There was also a joke in the movie and I think it was Spider-Ham who mentions that it was referencing another franchise and that “...you’re just gonna leave that in there?” or something. So now I’m obsessing about DC Batman Jingle Bells in a Marvel movie made by Sony.  *edit: also this movie is just loving stunning looking. My jaw was hanging towards the end taking it all in. I need the art book.

I have a very minor gripe about the animation style because that kind of psuedo-stop motion worked when the premise of the film was "the imagined world of toys" but doesn't fit as well when that conceit is removed

One of the songs on the Black Panther soundtrack directly mentions Gotham City. The rapper actually namedrops a character but it's unclear who because it's censored.

The What’s Up Danger sequence uses this to great effect as Miles finally comes into his own and he actually starting doing things deliberately rather than bumbling though them. It’s in the quieter dialog scenes where the choppy frame rate comes off as jarring, but you’re right it is a minor annoyance at best.

The What’s Up Danger sequence uses this to great effect as Miles finally comes into his own and he actually starting doing things deliberately rather than bumbling though them. I suppose they could have gone for even larger gaps in the frames to try and mimic the sequential "comic" style for the action scenes and it might have worked, or it might have caused everyone to be terribly motion sick so who knows I mean, purely visually its alright, I just wish there was an established context for it. I really enjoyed it in the lego movie because we were ostensibly seeing the toys being manipulated by a child but in a setting in which the child is invisible within the world itself. The jerky motions mimicked the hands of a child manipulating them as the child played. this movie doesn't give us that context and it sort of makes the effect suffer because of it Mel Mudkiper fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 25, 2018 |

The action scenes looking a lot better in motion than the calm talky bits is something I noticed too. It almost makes the calmer scenes look like they are from a much cheaper movie that couldn't afford full animation.

There's nothing incoherent about it. Spider-Verse establishes that there's a Lovecraftian spider-god. Its plan is to apparently to turn one dude (usually the same person) in every dimension into an outlandishly-dressed vigilante. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Sitting through the credits and oh my gosh this movie was so good. E: Holy poo poo Also it's literally not fair that the first line of Stan's first posthumous cameo is "I'm gonna miss him." Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 25, 2018 |

I feel like this is what Sony should be putting their energy into instead of their Aldi-brand MCU with D-list villains. The Spider-Verse would be perfect as a cinematic multiverse because you can make each movie generally standalone, but still have crossover potential.

The Spider-Verse would be perfect as a cinematic multiverse because you can make each movie generally standalone, but still have crossover potential. Except it's a travesty of the idea of a "cinematic multiverse". Like this movie nominally is about different genres clashing, but it doesn't explore those genres and just crams them into the superhero mould. For example, if you're going to have a movie where a character from a film noir reality crosses over to a "normal" world, why not have someone like a film noir character instead of just another superhero? Or why is the character from Looney Tunes reality also a superhero? If you watch classic Looney Tunes, they'd parody any genre they want, so why is the whole idea of classic Looney Tunes reduced to a superhero?

BravestOfTheLamps posted:There's nothing incoherent about it. Spider-Verse establishes that there's a Lovecraftian spider-god. I think its a bit reductive to limit the outside presence controlling the universe to a tangible entity. The Spider-God exists, but not as a controlling presence within the universe. The Spider-God is the audience and the industry. There must be Spider-Man movies for Sony, and so this is the story of a new Spider-Man being crafted so that he can be in more movies. Simply creating an actual entity in the narrative robs the audience of the necessary sensation of existential discomfort that comes from realizing that the malevolent force driving the heroes through their struggles is the audience itself.

The_Doctor posted:Where do you guys keep getting this spider-god thing from? I use it as shorthand for the fact that the movie seems to imply that despite the near infinite possibilities of the multiverse, all multiverses must have a Spider-Man. The fact that there is a present force or suggestion that maintains this sort of status quo is the "spider god". Of course, I dont take it to be literal, since the spider god is clearly us

The goblin stuck Spider-Man’s head in the collider which is why it sucked in other spider people. On the second run they are using a hair from Kingpin’s wife to hone in on them instead. I don’t know that a spider god is necessary here.

Yeah, five universes having a Spider-Man when the collider was specifically calling for Spider-Men doesn't lead into "Every universe has a Spider-Man."

Did none of you dinguses watch the 90s Spider-Man cartoon? Spider-God exists and her name is Madame Web, and Stan Lee wanted to bang her when they met briefly because she was voiced by his wife. Thus the debate is over. Merry Spider-Mas.

Why did it suck in other spider people and not other orphaned nerds who live with their aunts What essentiallized him as Spider-Man over all other aspects of himself? Afterall, as you said yourself, the universe looked for copies of Kingpins family, and yet the copies of Peter Parker wasnt other Peter Parkers, but other Spider-Men. What is that essentializing force?
