Nope, it was Tombstone. He's an albino.

In the comics, his daughter is a supervillain and a lawyer. But I repeat myself.

Excellent film. Also remarkably lean for how much it's juggling. Most films introducing this many characters feel bloated, but this actually keeps focus.

Marvel used to have a thing where there were in-universe marvel comics that functioned as a historical record.

Of course, it's pretty variable. Some runs imply that it's the actual comic in front of you (back in the Stan and Jack days, Doctor Doom once invaded the Marvel offices to force them to call Reed Richards in to set up an ambush.), other times it's implied they're pretty different (like the time they released copies of the "actual" comics they sell in universe. The FF weren't too far off their usual, save for the narration by the family and the features like Ben's workout routine, but Spider-Man... was less accurate.). Varies by writer, era, and degree of seriousness.

I never could get a good look, but was Steph Curry a golfer in Miles' dimension?

Yep.

Also I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it if was it's a stroke meta-textual genius, but if you listen to the full version of What's Up Danger?, you can hear the Prowler siren all the way through it. That's one hell of a nice touch.

It's like the (Spider-)man says

He'll always have his family.

I've heard good things about Land Of The Lustrous.

It was one of the major influences on Spiderverse's animation style, apparently.

Then maybe just let it go talk about the film then instead of being like 5th-hand mad by proxy about a 4 year old really liking a comic book movie.

It's a good movie. That four year old has good taste.

And it's really thematically cool, because Mile's big moment is finally making Spider-Man move from being a thing he purchased to a thing that's part of him, using his talents and sense of aesthetics to make something based off the past, but distinct.

It's almost like the film is acknowledging that it's based around a corporate product while celebrating both the initial intent, and how people can interpret that intent to make something matter to them.

I think the usual argument is that the movie is basically Strong Female Protagonist style *SEXISM IS OVER* except with black people. But frankly it's far better than nothing and not like most people are really going to internalise the more questionable parts of the message that the rest of pop culture and Marvel movies in particular are already putting out anyway.

Not sure how you'd do a socialist superhero movie. Except maybe Wonderful 101.

I was wondering about when this movie takes place and Miles' test is dated Decembruary 18, 2018

Well, obviously.

The weather's much too nice for Smarch.
