I hope this collab means Insomniac's next Spider-Man game is actually a tie in to Spider-Verse 2. Not that I think anything is wrong with the current Spider-Man game series, but the feeling just from someone else recreating "What Up Danger" gives me them good chills.

They finally added the movie to UK Netflix!  Now I don't have to muck about with the Sony movies app when I want to rewatch it!

I saw this movie recently and it's fantastic; I've been completely tired of the MCU for years but this was everything a superhero movie should be. Are they going to make more because whatever team produces this needs to make more movies, a lot more. I do think that introducing more spider-mans after Gwen and Peter B. weighed the movie down, and if they'd cut Noir, Penny, and Ham they could have found room for another scene or two between Miles and his family, maybe even a scene for his barely present mom. But some pacing issues in the back half is a minor complaint in a movie that was just a joy. Otoh spider ham was my girlfriend's favourite part so they do help the movie cast a wider net, important for family movies.

I really liked him but I think the movie would have benefited more from another scene of two with Mile's family, and there's room for that if you trim out those three spidermans.

I can see how more of Miles' family would benefit the movie but also think that you need a group of spider-people to be making the call on whether to include Miles in the plan at the end, because I don't think there would have been as clear of a division between him and the others if it were just Peter B and Gwen making the call. I don't know that Peter B is credible as a spider-authority because of how hosed up he is and Gwen needs to be ambivalent about that if she's going to be a peer or romantic interest in the next one. It helps those scenes where they cut Miles out and leave him behind that there's a consensus among enough variations of spider-man that you have a baseline for Miles to be measured against. It's hard to think of stuff to cut out, as everything's engineered to work pretty tightly. It stinks because every Disney superhero movie is over three hours and none of them have any reason to be other than giving the spectacle they think people are paying for.

I hadn't considered the importance of a consensus, that's a really good point and a stronger argument for them than I'd been making. But even then the three comedic characters are a bit one note, the movie really doesn't have enough time to spare for them.

They're undoubtedly secondary characters, but I think that's okay. They serve the triple role of comedic relief, animation flex, and providing a wide range of possibilities to answer the question of "what is a Spider-Man." If anything, the attempt of giving Penny a tiny bit of pathos with her spider-bot at the end felt a little out of place for that reason.

I don't think they should have cut all three, but paring it down to one and really focusing on that one for comic relief would probably have led to a more interesting set of gags.
