Thrilled! I was beyond thrilled when I saw "Spider Man_Across the spider verse”.I am all for the action, emotions, thrill, and even the feeling of betrayal in-between.
The movie starts with our little old Gwen, all in her emotions, depressed even after the death of her friend Peter, who took the wrong path to deal with his bullies and ended up losing his life. Gwen felt lonely due to the fact that her only friend died, and her recent friend (Miles Morales), the one and only spider of Brooklyn, isn't in her universe, and she has no idea if she is going to ever see him again. But matters get even worse when her father suspects that a spider woman murdered Peter, Gwen’s friend at the time. But Gwen is the spider woman.
But it gets even better when a villain called Vulture (the pinnacle of man's genuineness) from another dimension appears in Gwen's universe. The most interesting part was when Miguel O’Hare, the one who leads an elite stroke force, and a very pregnant Jessica came to her rescue, and in the process, her grandmother's dad finally found out the truth about the spider woman. It was like he was in self-denial. And he still wanted to arrest her. So she left with the team that came to rescue her.
And that's how she got involved with Miles Morales. Miles, like Gwen, is a superhero; he's the spider man of his dimension; he wants to help people because he feels it's a super hero's job to take care of his people; he makes more mistakes than he can count; one of his biggest mistakes is creating “The Spot," his nemeses.
Things were going great. Miles was supposed to make a choice of college he would attend, but saving the world comes first before anything else, and he felt like no one understood him because they thought he's a kid, which he was honestly. In this case, he was just like any 15-year-old boy, behaving like he needs freedom from his parents, but in fact, he just needed them to understand him and accept him, but he couldn't tell them why he can't be that son that turns up early to meetings with his parents and the principal or to a party where he has to be there to listen to his father's awful speech, when he was out there taking major risks with his own life to rescue people. And because of that, he had a fallout with his parents; he talked back at them, and he was grounded for a month.
But things only got better when Gwen, the girl he's been drawing all over his book (he was actually missing her), came around. She was from another dimension, but it didn't matter because they were friends, even close enough to be each other's crush. They had a wonderful time together; in fact, one of my favorite moments was when his parents got him and Gwen together, and they had this awkward introduction, and Gwen had to leave to go find the mission she was sent to do. Knowing fully well that was the last time she was going to see him again, that moment when she left and Miles felt like he lost her or something, and his mom showed him how much she really did care about him, how much she loved him, and why she was letting him go.
But things got worse when he followed Gwen as a spider woman, and then he found out her real reason for coming to his dimension was to get “The Spot," a villain that could move from dimensions to dimensions by creating the portal with his spots.
Things even got complicated when he found out that his dad was going to die and he wasn't allowed to save him. Which sucks, but nothing sucks more than knowing that Gwen, Jessica, Miguel, and even Peter, who had a kid, all agree to not saving his dad because of the spiderverse or arachnohumanoid ploymultiverse. The Canon events are all connected, bringing all the heroes' lives together. But if that connection is broken, then there would be a serious problem, and because Miles had interrupted that connection by saving Inspector Singh’s life, which was a Canon event, he had caused major damage by changing destiny. So now Miles dad was going to die, and none of the heroes wanted to do anything to save him. So now Miles has to fight those he thought were his friends, people he thought he could trust, just to get back to his own universe. Now here's the twist and turn of events: after all the struggles to get to his dimension, he ended up in the wrong dimension. In this dimension, his uncle was still alive, but what was more freaking was that himself in that dimension was alive too, and they were working together as villains.
So now the question is: would Miles Morales make it to his dimension in time to save his father and family, and what are the consequences of that action? Or would Gwen be able to protect and save Miles with her new team? Well, we can all just anticipate the next animation.
Opinion
I really loved the action. I'm not much of a fan or a love freak when it comes to movies or animation, so I love all the twists and turns of events. If I had to rate this animation, I would give it a solid 9/10. There was so much fun, as well as a lot of fighting and the use of a lot of spider webs. My favorite character so far was Miles Morales. He was very young when the responsibilities of saving the world came to his doorstep, or in this case, bite into his skill, so at that age, it's hard to lie to your parents about yourself. Even Gwen said it; they didn't know her beyond what she showed them, and she too did know them beyond what they showed her, and that's how she lost Peter.
I think the only person I had issues with was Miguel O'Hare. I know he had a major traumatizing experience where he lost his daughter, but at some point I thought he was just being a plain jerk for not allowing any solution to Miles issues. I know he watched the things he loved disappear right before his eyes, but let's face it: just because something happens to you doesn't mean you have to force others to accept it. And I was hurt by their betrayal. Miles is pretty open, so when he was kept in the dark for so long, it really messed him up when he finally got to know the truth. Even Gwen kept him in the dark and wasn't ready for Miles until all the guilt and twists and turns of events had happened. Still, she was sent back home, and that's when her eyes opened to the truth. Well, thank goodness she reconciled with her dad; that was a major issue in the beginning. So for this animation, I recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet. Get your popcorn and chill with Netflix at home.
Thanks for stopping by.
