Skippy McPants posted:Also, wait, is his father’s name really Jefferson Davis, wtf happened there? Comic book creators tend to do a bunch of things that they think are super funny subversions, like "haha wouldn't it be funny if a black man shared a name with a racist traitor? But it's okay because, he's like, taking it back! And also wouldn't it be funny if, like, there was a Spider-Woman who, like, Peter was literally uncontrollably horny for because of, uh, pheremones that I'm pretending is commentary on sexism and fetishism of female characters in comics? And what if her uniform was just a bunch of webs she shoots onto herself, so the readers are also uncontrollably attracted to her at the same time?" Sorry I just peeked at the Spider-Verse comics to see what they were like and was reminded why I don't really read comics anymore.

bbf2 posted:Also the skinny guy from the Lonely Island was the Green Goblin which is kind of random. Did he even speak? It all sounded like grunting and monster noises He's probably Goblin because Rodney Rothman produced Popstar. Natalie Morales popping up as Miles' teacher was a nice surprise to me, I'm not sure if there was a similar reason why she was in the film but I appreciated it.

Mameluke posted:Maybe Gwen's perk is she has precognitive Spidey-sense, like how Miles has invisibility and electric discharge, Peni has a psychic bond with a spider, and Ham has, well, ham-merspace? Oh my god. Spider-Ham has a hammer. How did I miss that.

Waffleman_ posted: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. Sick burn on Aldi outta nowhere (seriously, their store brand stuff ranges from good to better than the name brands)

Waffleman_ posted:I was inside an Aldi once and the general atmosphere of it was the most depressing place I've ever been in in my life. They recently did a redesign that makes it much better but there's some that can't be saved. The one in Rocky Hill, CT is actually awesome but the one is Bristol is pretty depressing

The Dragon Prince on Netflix did a similar thing but they held on, like, the sixes. It was immediately noticable in any dialog scene, and laughably bad at times. I actually don't mind it at all in Spider-Verse--in a weird way, it makes the CGI feel more "real", almost as if it's stop motion. Until 2018 I still hadn't been sold on CGI over traditional animation. I appreciate what studios have done with it, but I find myself returning to films like Road to El Dorado or Lion King or Aladdin way more often than, say, King Fu Panda 2 or The Incredibles (even though there's some amazing animation in KFP2, and the design of the Incredibles is fantastic). But between The Dragon Prince (which translated the ATLA "anime" style perfectly, especially in action scenes) and Spider-Verse I'm actually really excited for the future of CGI TV shows and movies.

SomeJazzyRat posted:Well it was fairly evident that Peter B. uses the shower/tub as a safe space for emotional healing (See: sadness montage). Likely it's a place he views as a home separate from the outside world where he feels free to feel vulnerable due to it's shelter. In order to feel 'normal' and 'functioning' in a time of emotional crisis, of course he would irrationally recreate traditions in the one place he feels safe. 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.

I'm really hoping that there's like, three or four commentaries on the Blu-ray. One from the directors, one from the animators, one from the composer, and one from the actors (because those are generally pretty fun).

It's an insanely clever design choice and I'm legitimately surprised that no one had thought of it before.

I don't have (and can't really afford) a 4K TV but Spider-Verse might push me over the edge. I bought a Blu-Ray player just for Scott Pilgrim. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Feb 12, 2019 |

Yeah, that should be spoiled just in case. I still can't believe that the two most recent Spider-Man films managed to surprise me with a villian reveal, I should know better by now.

Guy Mann posted:So I might be overthinking it but depending on how you interpret the scene in the collider at the end Kingpin not only failed to bring back a copy of his family but he ruined his chance to ever do it against because he managed to drive away every single version of his family in the multiverse at once by beating up Spider-man in front of them. I have a hard time thinking of any villain who owned themselves so completely and thoroughly, let alone in a way that didn't kill them as pretty much every other superhero movie and animated family film is wont to do. I read somewhere (maybe here?) that the sequel could be an alternate universe Kingpin busting into Miles' universe to destroy everything because Miles' Kingpin messed things up with his wife and son and I think that could work pretty well. Mameluke posted:If you think about it, the collider opened up the same dimensions each time, so you have to assume that the Matt Murdock Richard Fisk was from either Gwen or Peter B.'s universe, and that there was a Vanessoink and Richog Fisk left on the cutting room floor

Ghost Leviathan posted:I think the point is that in every universe where the Kingpin is the Kingpin in any sense that matters, he ends up driving away his family sooner or later. It's really more old-school Looney Tunes in Spider-Ham (wait, am I allowed to say that? Like, legally?). Deadpool does a lot of the same manic "anything for a laugh" humor and physical comedy that Looney Tunes did, but R-rated. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Mar 13, 2019 |

The glitching logos and rising, glitching noise that came with them was a pretty great way to set the stage but yeah, all it took for me to know I as in for a good time was the CCA stamp.

Target didn't have a single copy of Spider-Verse on the shelves when I swung by there earlier today (I didn't go there specifically for it). I can't think of the last time I saw that.

meanolmrcloud posted:I always leave a marvel/other big budget flick saying to my wife that with all their millions of dollars and armies of staff, it’s super loving disappointing that we get bland imagery and boring plot lines. They could do literally anything with these superhero movies but their vision is so hemmed in their focus grouping that these fantastical characters just do the same poo poo 14 different ways. Do what I did and watch it again. And again. And again. I've watched it 10 times since I saw it opening day.
