Rewatched into the spiderverse to prepare for seeing the sequel AGAIN w a friend tomorrow and can definitely say I love the second one more. Also why did they give the Kingpin more sadman moments to explore his backstory when Aaron is there as an emotional lynchpin to Miles’ story and gets like. No exploration as to why he’s the Prowler

#it’s such a strange writing choice #like yeah we need to know why the kingpin is doing what he’s doing but the other guy is integral to Miles’ ARC #his death is so much less impactful than it could have been because we rlly no nothing about him beyond a scant few lines and the fact he #loves Miles #which is great and sells me on Miles’ grieving but like. it makes Aaron’s decision to protect Miles have just. less impact than it could’ve #it’s love for Miles versus nebulous reasons he was the Prowler #so there’s rlly no tension about what he’s going to do #I still like into the spiderverse but I can now why at the time I was like wow the art direction and this was cool and funny #and miles’ arc is a very sold and well executed origin story #solid*#AND the leap of faith scene is fucking awesome #but man. does the sequel blow it out of the water writing wise imo #tunes talks spiderverse
