Just got back from this, and I was utterly blown away. Visually stunning, genuinely heartfelt, and just generally amazing all over.

My favourite blink and you�ll miss it was you get a 0.25 second shot of Aaron�s TV when Miles turns up, and I recognised it instantly as this shot from Community:

Am I the only turbonerd that saw blonde spider Man and immediately gasped "Ben Reilly?"

The only real plot holes I could take from this are the aforementioned high school age gwen infiltrating a prestigious charter middle and Jefferson Davis apparently being the only cop in NY to the point where he's not only police security at the Kingpins Gala but also responding to emergency calls in Queens

Look, he's the best drat street cop in Brooklyn and Captain Holt believes in him.

He wasn't security at the gala, he was out on the street and saw weirdness going on with the building, so went to investigate.

OK.

Am I overthinking this or is this a thing.

When Doc Ock is on the TV in the classroom talking about alternate dimensions, She says something like "In an alternate dimension I could be really into leather pants." Is this a joke about classic Doc's terrible costume that you're only supposed to get an hour later while cooking dinner?

I believe he had leather pants in Spider-Man 2?

Your post made me think of the potential of the sequel having one of Spidey's rouge's gallery getting a universe hopper and teaming up with a bunch of other universe villians to commit a bunch of crimes. I imagine the Black Cat from Spider-Ham's universe is literally just a snarky black cat who is good at robberies. And the Lizard is just a lizard.

Actually, let's just greenlight a Spider-Ham film.

You�d think, but it�s actually a catfish. Literally, Black Catfish.

Can you just all stop responding to him? He�s just an obtuse arsehole who seems to delight in this poo poo.

So a thing I just realised. Aunt May recognised Ock and called her Liv like she says her friends do.

Don't Aunt May and Doc Ock usually have history in most universes?

Peni and Gwen are roughly the same age (Gwen is 16, and Peni is at least 14)

The only adults we see in the movie are the Peters (B., Prime, Noir and Porker)

If I remember, they say Gwen is only just older than Miles, and Miles is 13 in this film.

Speaking of IMAX, I was thinking how great it would have been to catch Interstellar on it, and sure enough after randomly browsing the Melbourne sessions list (where I saw Spiderverse) there is a single session of it later this week. Is this something IMAX theatres do in general? Do they re-screen older movies from some sort of IMAX's Greatest Hits collection?

Unfortunately I don't actually live in Melbourne so I've only seen a few IMAX sessions in my life, but drat, if I did live there I think I'd visit every week.

On occasion, yeah they do. I know I caught a screening on Tron Legacy at the imax several months after it came out.

Spider-verse would probably get a rerelease if it won the Oscar. It might even get one for being nominated.

Just saw it for the second time, but this go around was in IMAX 3D. Still so good, definitely my top film of 2018. I�m so happy it won the Oscar and got this secondary release.

I legit teared up more than once, for various emotions. Aaron in the alley, the leap of faith sequence, the post-credits bit. Pure gold.

I think that's just in the US. In the UK we only just got Homecoming. I think we're gonna have to wait until next Christmas for Spider-Verse if that's any indication.

Edit: Also Lord & Miller co-wrote the latest Spider-Man annual that's Spider-Ham focused. It's real good, check it out. I'm pretty sure one of the characters introduced in it (Spider-Guin - yes, Spider-Gwen as a penguin) is going to show up in a sequel. At least she will if there's any justice in the world.
