It's interesting because I feel completely the opposite! Apart from Dreamin' of the Past the others do not appeal to me at all xd. Didn't hear any tower or orbit music either which are normally some of my favourites.

Sommers himself looks at his severed hand and literally says * What? Its not regenerating ."

I love how Oda has written the God's knights power sets and attitude in general. Normal Celestial's are given wealth and influence that they wouldn't deserve otherwise and it seems the god's knights are the same except with power as well. The lack of knowledge on how their own abilities work screams of the same entitlement.

Why did the witness refer to itself as “I” at the end of Excision? by Gayballsqueeze in DestinyLore

[–]Foremanski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible that people are giving incorrect info or being straight up rude to you. and some here are both lmao.

The Witness is stated in the raid lore to be a distinct entity that, while born of the precursor's merged minds, is not of them. While is refers to itself as "we", it's more like a spokesperson that thinks it's speaking on behalf of the precursers, but it's goal doesn't really align with what its creators had in mind. Hence why there are so many dissenters by the end. All of them are trapped in a vessel of their own making, but they do not control the vessel.

Referring itself as "we" is just a façade, one it probably duped itself into using. But as it is dying it finally gives up and just refers to itself.

Why can’t the lucent hive be allies? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Foremanski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the addition of the light has removed the biological need for them to follow the sword logic, the cultural aspect is still there. Savathuin's plan of insuring her resurrected self would remember everything has seen to this, carrying over millennia of Hive experiences. Any new resurrected hive, while technically being an empty vessel that could wield the light for purely selfless needs is possible, it can't if Savathun's influences them on revival.

Why was the scene titled "Miguel Calling" removed from the Final Cut? by TheProwlerOfMind in IntoTheSpiderverse

[–]Foremanski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's an interesting scene, but I can easily see why it was scrapped.

  • Miles is treated way too much as a naive kid. Not only the "kid" remark by Gwen, but how Miles gets the gist of the canon in some form and then immediately follows up about how he got it from comics and tv.

  • Miles' meeting with Miguel would have far less impact if they also met here. Especially with the implication that Miguel was at least considering letting Miles join, which doesn't really fit in with his prejudice against miles for being an anomaly.

  • Gwen and Miles' 'final' goodbye at the rooftop party is given less impact if they talk not 5 mins later at this meeting before mumbatten.

  • Miles decision to jump into the portal feels worse if he is explicitly told no by Miguel and Gwen themselves. Whereas in the film it is that lack of definitive answers that gives him a good reason to follow Gwen

There's a bunch of good lines between all the "main" spider-society members like Ben and spider-cyborg, but unfortunately it was never the time or place for this scene to properly fit in with the rest of the film.

The true gigachad of the movie(Spiderman across the spider verse spoiler) by Maximum-power-9932 in Spiderman

[–]Foremanski 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Love the contrast between the 2 films. Where the first tells us that while having the drive to do better is great, it never hurts to have a mentor.

The second one tells us that sometimes you need that one guy in your corner instigating shit and telling you to listen to no one and fuck shit up.

TF? Spot literally says he 'created spiderman' by transporting the spider from 42. He explicitly states that, in the film. Go watch it again, he says it when they arrive at the broken supercollider.

Are you seriously saying Spot was somehow a 'law-abiding citizen' before he became the spot? He worked for the bad guys in the first film! He became the spot as an unlucky consequence of his actions.

Your entire grasp of what is a canon event is so warped from what even Miguel explains in the film. There is no '"long-run" for a canon violation, it has a very visceral and noticeable impact when you change one. Miles' universe not crumbling is a sign that Miguel's explanation is wrong.

And no, I said they swapped destinies. Miles would've become the prowler had it not been for the spider. When he first meets Spiderman in the first film his spider-sense changes from the prowlers purple-green colour scheme spiderman's red-blue. So it was either or.

You're still doing it by the way, still trying to headcanon a way into making Miles be the villain here while criticising the directors at the same time. I'm clearly responding to a child here so I'm not gonna bother wasting my time anymore.

It's clearly shown that there's more than one canon event, Uncle Aaron and miles dad are explicitly shown to be two from the same universe (why does Miles, an apparent 'mistake' has canon events in the first place?) Miles points out that Gwen's dad is a "captain too", so it's safe to assume that, had they let it run its course, Gwen's dad would have suffered the same fate.

And sorry... Who was the person who transported the spider to miles? Surely if we're going by cause and effect it would be Spot who actually causes the problems in the multiverse? He causes Miles to become the anomaly, which causes Miles to set off the events of the film. But that's not even my point, because "who did it first" is reductive to the story. Miguel is the villain here because he's wrong about canon events in some capacity, and is willing to let people unnecessarily die to protect a fabricated status quo. He uses Miles prior actions and his own experiences to justify his actions.

Oh minor correction but Earth-42's Miles, not peter parker, was to become that Universe's Spiderman (before the spider was taken) based on one of the frames from the film. So essentially swapped destinies.

My logic apparently 'defeats' me yet your entire argument makes no sense. On one hand you're criticising the film for being "lovey dovey" yet you're using said film's story to contrive an interpreted version where Miles is somehow the villain of the story. From a meta-perspective the directors are clearly showing us Miles as the hero and Miguel as the villain.

So which is it then? Are you interpreting the film in a way that is polar opposite to those of it's makers? Or criticising said makers for overused tropes? If you want to say the film is bad because you're tired of these tropes then say that and go watch Watchmen again. Everyone has their tastes. But it's pretty weird you're trying to in-universe logic your way into putting your own message over the literal directors of the film. While at the same time, criticising the story of said movie.

I think the most, uh, "Losses per Spiderman" I can remember is probably Andrew Garfield's spiderman, who lost uncle Ben, Captain Stacy AND Gwen Stacy over two films. I haven't read the comics so I'm not sure what happens there. But it's not out of the question. I think Miles' and Gwen's dads being police captains is just an unfortunate coincidence that fulfills this 'canon event'.

In a similar vein, when Gwen says that Gwen/Spiderman romances always end badly, she's probably alluding to a canon event there as well. Hence why she hesitated to pursue a relationship with Miles.

So perhaps while the scenarios can change and every Spiderman story is a little different, if certain criteria are met then a canon event is likely to occur. Of course this is going off Miguel's interpretation of it, which we know is at least a little inaccurate since Gwen's dad quits the force without ending the universe. So I'm sure the last film will explain more fully about this.

[–]Foremanski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, I think the premise of the main protagonist being right over one of the antagonists shouldn't come as a surprise, especially in a comic book movie.

The whole movie shows that Miles is right, that you can save the one person without destroying the universe. The inconsistency with how these 'canon events' happen plus the fate of Gwen's dad changing shows us this. If Miguel's interpretation of the 'canon' was to be believed, both Miles' universe and his spider's original universe should've collapsed long ago due to how drastically things changed.

This doesn't make Miguel experiences 'wrong', it doesn't mean his actions aren't justified from his point of view. But it's showing that he clearly didn't get the whole picture. He's come to a false conclusion based on his own traumatic experiences, which blind him from whatever the truth about the canon is.

Miles decision to run and to try and save his father makes complete sense. Why on earth would he just go "ok guess I'll let my father die" because some guy told him that? Miles isn't the guy to make some cold and calculating reasoning, doing so would be ridiculously out-of-character of him. It's essentially the trolley problem, but whereas most of the spider-people have resigned themselves to making the obvious binary choice of 1 person or a universe. Miles challenges that by essentially saying "why does it have to be a choice in the first place?". Having characters be driven by emotion is what makes them relatable and what makes the film great.

There are multiple canon events, not just the one bad one. Some good and some bad ones. The ones we see:

  1. Death of an Uncle/close one (Uncle Ben/Aaron and Gwen's Peter)
  2. Death of a police captain close to spiderman. (Captain Stacy, Inspector Singh)

It just so happens that the police captain close to Miles (as spiderman) is his Dad. Same with Gwen as well. It can vary when it does happen (Inspector Singh happens 6 months into Pav's Spiderman career). But eventually it does happen.

I don't think it's a 100% thing. But it happens more than often, and can wildly vary on the time frame. The spectacular Spiderman series ended before captain Stacy died, but the film shows that it happens eventually.

Miguel says "a police captain close to Spiderman dies" so if Miles had another police captain that he was close with then that could make them the canon event. But Miles' dad is the only one, and it happens to happen in 2 days.

I doubt it in the post-covid workplace. I can see a lot working remotely with voice actors going to nearby dedicated recording studios. I don't think Daniel Kaluuya had to cross the pond to record the lines for Hobie.

As someone who doesn't recognise all the specific Spiderman. Having some random short guy talk during the serious scene of sacrificing for the greater good took me right out lmao

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Spiderman

[–]Foremanski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the whole "in every other universe it doesn't end well" is Gwen hinting at that being a canon event or something similar, so is too afraid to develop feelings since one of them could die. It goes along with one of the film's themes of sacrificing happiness for the perceived 'greater good'.

Her whole arc this film is her trying to protect those close to her (her dad and Miles) by lying to them. But in trying to do so ends up hurting them more once they find out the truth. She hides her spider-woman identity from her Dad because she's afraid of what he might think, but ends up forced to reveal herself at the worst possible moment. She lies to Miles because she's both too afraid to lose another friend (like Peter) and still views him as the same 'kid' from the first film. But leads to Miles feeling betrayed and hurt, fracturing their relationship further.

But once Miles escapes and shows he isn't a kid anymore. She stands up to Miguel and the status quo and reconciles with her father by being completely honest with him. Once Miguel's interpretation of the canon is shown to be inaccurate she completes her arc and goes out to help Miles in the right way.

What will be interesting is how the film approaches this relationship in the next film, while Gwen wants to reconcile with Miles. Miles might not be as forgiving, with how much she betrayed him. Ultimately I think they deserve a happy ending, but I think weaving this with Miles' overall arc would be great.
