The part of Spider-Verse that wrecked me was the Peter B. / Mary Jane scene, where Peter pours out his heart in apology. "I wasn't there when you needed me."

It just reminded me of my divorce and completely loving broke me.

I'm convinced whoever was the writer for this part had either gone through a divorce or otherwise lost the love of their life because it's too earnest.

Also, you know as I watch it again, it really is the smallest movements that tell so much of the story in this movie.

I watched the scene where Peter B tells Miles to turn invisible to get past him or whatever and then right after the other spiders look sad.

Seeing Peni tenderly put her hand on the head of the robot as if shes consoling the robot is like half a second but it's so good.

I'm gonna be so mad when the suits ruin the sequel.

I always found Peter B's "She wanted kids.. and it scared me." to be a great heart tugging line.

His back story is kinda comically OTT then they drop that line and it's such a human moment and it's sadly completely justified from his perspective.

Watching Evangelion on Netflix reminds me how messed up Gerard Way�s original story about Peni Parker and SP//DR story was compared to the more bubblegum anime style of movie Peni.

Yeah, whoever wrote that dialogue was either a child of divorce or had gone through a divorce. It's way too on-the-nose for it to be anything else.

I haven't been able to re-watch the movie yet because that scene just absolutely destroyed me and it said everything I've ever wanted to say to my ex-wife.

When Peter B. and Miles get yoyo'd through the away by the train, one of the cops chasing them faintly yells "Stop that train"

I watched this for the first time last night and was surprised to realise how much I have invested in Peter Parker over the years. The notion of a Spider-Man who has aged like me, and hosed up like me and gotten tubby like me was engaging in a way that most superhero movies just can't be. The sense of history, of time wasted...

Miles and Gwen and the rest were great, of course, but sad-sack Pete broke my heart. I've been reading about him for twenty-five years and I just want him to be alright!

That's kind of the original draw of Peter Parker and why Spider-man blew up so big; the idea of a superhero who is a real person with real problems much like the target audience, and rather than having the superhero inexplicably hang around an annoying teenager who the audience is meant to project themselves onto, you just cut out the middleman and make the teenager the superhero all on his own.

You should check out Spider-Man: Life Story, an ongoing miniseries with the premise of "What if Peter Parker aged in real time from 1962 onwards?"

So, because Miles got bitten by a different universe's spider, does that mean that there's now an alternate universe without a Spiderman?

Maybe the spider came from an alternate universe where all spiders are radioactive and give people spider powers, so the universe actually has too many Spider-Men.

I started thinking about Miles dad and uncle and they kinda represent what Spider-Man says about power and responsibility.
However, they both represent the extremes of that; Dad has the ultimate responsibility (both as a father and a servant of the law) but lacks the power to do anything about it, while uncle morales has all the power and none of the responsibility.

Miles has both of them as idols in a way, and needs to draw from both of them to become his destiny, and with great power... Comes great responsibility.

I finally got to watch Spiderverse (thanks, Netflix!) and holy poo poo it was good. It obviously did a lot of things you simply cannot do in a live action movie, but the stakes, the emotion and the messages were all so earnest and spot-on. I just didn't want the movie to end. I was totally bought into this version of Spider-Man and the overall universe almost instantly.

What a great take, definitely feels like one of the (many) things the writers didn't feel like they had to explicitly spell out. I loved the fact that the quote was known across the multiverse, Peter B. not letting Miles finish it makes me laugh every time.

There have been multiple Japanese takes on Spiderman, that's one and Peni was another. Apparently Sony tried to get the rights to Italian Spider-man but the rights are complicated and that didn't happen.

Just picked up the first issue and it's really good. The whole 60's groovy thing is a bit overdone and the artist made it look like Harry and Norman Osborne have cornrows, but overall it's an interesting take on Spider-man.
