* While the Spider-gang are hiding in the ceiling of Miles' room, Peni is shown to be awkwardly blushing. While you could attribute this to her seeing a cute boy (for a given definition of "cute", considering this is Ganke we're talking about), a more logical possibility is that she's embarrassed, considering that she's the only one of them wearing a skirt instead of a bodysuit, and is therefore the only one suceptible to a PantyShot, as evidenced by the fact that her hands are in her lap - likely keeping her skirt under control - instead of bracing against her fellows' biceps.

* Peter and Gwen's Spider-sense kicking in before Miles when meeting the other Spider-Heroes makes sense since they've been Spider-Man (or woman) in their own universes for years, whereas Miles had only got his powers at least two days ago.

** On a related note, much like the various Spider-People bear different degrees of similarity to the mainline incarnation, so do the villains - Kingpin is more or less unchanged beyond a few significant details, much like Peter B. Doctor Octopus is gender-flipped and plays out more like an original character with a few similar personality traits and the same name - much like Gwen. Prowler is a lot darker and more dangerous than usual, which ties into Noir, etc.

* Combined with Fridge Funny, Peter B. doesn't have money to pay for his food when he and Miles visit the diner. This isn't just because he's hopped dimensions; Peter has always had infamous money problems. Peter B likely has it worse, considering that he blew what money he had on TGI Spidey's.

* Why exactly did TGI Spidey's fail? Peter B. just has really ''bad'' taste in food. The aforementioned burgers which he really enjoys are from a very poorly rated greasy spoon which will close down in a few years due to this. Presumably when the idea was pitched to him, Peter B. pushed for fare which appealed to him. That food might work at a hole in the wall restaurant where people are more interested in speed and low cost, but for a larger restaurant it flopped.
** Slightly jossed: a screenshot of the one-star review of TGI Spideys shows that the menu items were not just greasy-spoon style but also fell under the noveau-modern "molecular gastronomy" umbrella, being largely a mix of unpalatable textures and given disgusting theme names such as "Spider-Burger" and "Web-Fluid".
* Gwen mentions to Miles after Aaron is killed that only the other Spiders understand how Miles is feeling in that moment. Gwen, fittingly, understands Miles's situation best, as her origin is almost identical to his: she's the only other spider whose dead loved one died as a supervillain while their respective Spider was fighting them (Miles and Gwen were both in costume when Aaron and Peter died, respectively), and both Spider alter-egos were falsely accused of the murders by their parents (Jefferson and Captain Stacy.)

Whilst they all ''exited'' the Collider explosion at the same time, all of them ''landed'' at different points in time due to the unstable dimensional shift -- In fact, by all accounts, all of them were shot towards the same Koca-Soda billboard Peter B. crashed into, with only Gwen controlling her landing enough to avoid hitting it.

* Miles has powers that none of the Peters nor Gwen have. But he's remarkably similar to a ''different'' Spider-Man, ComicBook/SpiderMan2099. Like Miguel he has offensive mutations in the form of his venom blast vs Miguel's toxic venom, and he has defensive mutations in the form of his active camouflage reflex and Miguel's talons. Where did the spider come from that bit Miles? Alchemax...an Alchemax ''in a different universe'', presumably Miguel's. It also explains their differences too, as Miguel's genetic code was mechanically rewritten by the encoder he was testing on himself, while Miles received his powers from a spider bite directly.
** If the spider's from Miguel's universe it would explain how and why he started monitoring the film's events from his reality.
* Miles attempts to add a cape to his BetaOutfit only to have it be torn off by Peter B. Considering it's revealed that his Peter had an alternate costume with a cape and most likely wore it publicly at some point, that was probably Miles's favorite costume of Peter's. It's also possibly another hint to Miles that he cannot simply be a copycat, that he needs to move out of his Spider-Man's shadow.
* Peter B. doesn't just call it a "goober;" Aunt May does as well. StrangeMindsThinkAlike? No: ''She invented the term.'' Peter, an eternal nerd, of course cares about how it works; but Aunt May would only care about -- or, for that matter, [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies need to know]] -- what it does. And Peter B. picked up on the term because 1) she's right, it honestly doesn't matter how the darn thing works, as long as it gets the job done; and 2) to honor his beloved mother figure. (Of course, the counter-argument is that Earth-1610's May Parker is clearly involved in Peter's crime-fighting ways, having access to his Spider-Cave, being capable of creating handcrafted artisanal webslingers for Miles after he accepts the CallToAdventure, and taking part in the brawl at her house; so why does ''she'' need to simplify things.)
* Blonde Peter seems to be extremely well-adjusted compared to all the Spideys, but why is that? Blonde Peter knows something that the other Spideys only realized and accepted halfway through -- or even at the end of -- the movie: You Are Not Alone. When they first meet Miles, Peter B. and Gwen both have their walls up. Peter B. refuses to mentor him, and Gwen isn't ready to have friends yet. Not so for Blonde Peter: during his meeting with Miles, he offers to teach him the ways of Spider-Man. Compared to Peter B., he also has a present support group in Aunt May and MJ, while Peter B. has neither. Even when Peter B.'s Aunt May was alive, one can assume she wasn't as supportive as Blonde Peter's Aunt May, who watches over Blonde Peter's shed and is essentially his Alfred.

** There's also the obvious reason Nazi's still exist in his dimension. [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Hydra.]] Surely Red Skull isn't the only one out there who'd still wear Nazi garb.
* Jefferson sees Spider-Man, who's actually his own son Miles, lying next to the corpse of Aaron Davis who's killed by Kingpin, and mistakes him for being Aaron's murderer. He later comes to his sense in the ending and realizes that Spider-Man didn't do it. While it might seem like a sudden change, it actually makes sense. Aaron is killed by a ''gunshot'' wound, and Spider-Man doesn't use guns, ever. Plus Aaron died wearing his Prowler costume, which tells him that he's a criminal who could've died from something that was his own fault. This might also be a TakeThat against the same thing that happened in the Sam Raimi trilogy, where Harry Osborn holds a grudge against Spider-Man because he mistakes him for killing his father Norman when a closer inspection would've revealed that Norman was the Green Goblin who died from the wounds inflicted by his own glider.

* Spider-Gwen using a fake name may seem odd at first until you realize that Gwen Stacy in Miles's world is most likely dead, and didn't want to draw too much attention to herself using a dead woman's name.

* Why didn't Gwen try to contact the Spider-Man of Miles' universe? After all, she was thrown backwards in time by one week when she was brought over to Miles's universe, and Spider-Man was still alive at that point. Her spider sense drew her towards Miles' school, so why didn't it draw her to that universe's Peter Parker? If she had helped Peter at the collider initially, he might not have died. Gwen couldn't have done so due to temporal causality since the incident which brought Gwen to that universe was that event; if she tried to help the Miles-verse Peter at the start, it would create a time paradox, because if Gwen had helped shut the reactor down and fight the Kingpin, she would create a paradox as the collider overloading is what brought her into that universe in the first place. But there's no way she could have known that.

* Peter B. volunteering to stay behind isn't just him being a DeathSeeker, but actually makes sense. [[FunnyAnimal Porker]], [[DeliberatelyMonochrome Noir]], and [[{{Anime}} Peni and her mecha]] would all stick out [[{{Understatement}} just a bit]], leaving him and Gwen as the ones who would have the best chance of fitting in for however long they have. Gwen, however, has a dad, probably a mom, and her whole life ahead of her. The sad truth is that aside from alternate MJ, there's probably no one who would miss Peter B. too much.

** Similarly, there's Gwen offering herself up as the one to stay behind. Genuine HeroicSacrifice so she wouldn't have to live with seeing her best friend die three times? Or is the guilt of letting her Peter die (which her flashback heavily implies might've been partially her fault due to fighting him as the Lizard) getting to her and she too is DrivenToSuicide?
