History WesternAnimation / SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse

* WalkOfShame: After Mile's hand gets stuck to Gwen's hair at school and they had to be taken to the medical room to be separated. Afterwards Miles walks through the hallway and everyone looks at him which makes him extremely uncomfortable and he develops an OverlyNervousFlopSweat.

* AntiClimaxCut: When Miles goes up to the roof of a building to try a leap of faith, heroic music swells, he braces himself... and the next shot is Miles going back down the stairwell, having chickened out.

* MoodWhiplash: In Peter B. Parker's introduction sequence, Peter starts narrating his life story normally, showing montages of Spider-Man fighting bad guys and kissing Mary Jane. [[spoiler:The montage then suddenly shows Peter going broke because of a failed investment, visiting Aunt May's grave, signing divorce papers with Mary Jane, moving into a shabby apartment, and crying in the shower in full Spider-Man costume, all while he is still narrating in the background without missing a beat.]]

** When Peter and Miles flee from Alchemax, Miles throws the bagel Peter stole at their pursuers, and it hits one of the scientists square in the face. Bonus points for the sound effect, drawn in-panel at the moment of impact, being "[[UnsoundEffect BAGEL!!!]]"

** During their escape from Alchemax, Miles throws away the bagel Peter B. stole. It hits one of the scientists in the head as the word ''"BAGEL!!!"'' pops up above him.

''Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' is a 2018 [[AllCGICartoon computer-animated]] {{superhero}} film directed by Creator/PeterRamsey, Creator/BobPersichetti, and Rodney Rothman, and produced by Creator/PhilLordAndChrisMiller, with the screenplay written by Lord and Rothman. A co-production between Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation and [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel Entertainment]], the film is the seventh consecutive entry in the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' film series, and the first animated entry in the franchise. The movie itself is a loose adaptation of the ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'' and ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' storylines, with elements from the former's sequel integrated into the story.

** Subverted in that the trailers state that if Kingpin's plan goes through, the entire multiverse will be destroyed. However, in the actual movie, the stated threat is the Super-Collider opening a black hole, which would destroy the planet, but not the entire universe and much less any other universe. The stinger and [[Film/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse the sequel]] do elaborate that the multiverse ''could'' have collapsed due to the events of the film's finale.

* BeYourself: Miles recognizes that he has some big shoes to fill [[spoiler:after his Spider-Man is killed]]. When Peter B appears, he initially tries to learn by simply mirroring Peter's gestures and movements. Over time, Peter B's less-than-enthusiastic mentorship and Miles' unique powerset (invisibility/venom strike), makes him realize that he should be using his own ideals, strengths, and abilities as the launch point for his "leap of faith." This is solidified when Miles changes to his traditional red and black costume, which is Blond Peter's suit redesigned in the style of his graffiti art.

** During a flashback, we see that [[spoiler:Vanessa and Richard]] are killed in a SurpriseCarCrash while they were driving away in a panic causing them to run a red light where they were t-boned by a truck.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: Downplayed. As Miles was just learning about his powers, he really wasn't in a position to actually help Blond Peter in his encounter with the Green Goblin or Kingpin which lead to Blond Peter's death. However, we see that Miles' inaction weighs heavily upon him. Later, when Peter B. Parker goes to infiltrate Alchemax Labs and tells Miles to [[WaitHere stay behind]], Miles follows Peter into the AirVentPassageway once he sees Kingpin arrive explaining that he can't just sit idly by and do nothing.

The film won the 2019 UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedFeature, being the first non-Creator/{{Disney}}[=/=]Creator/{{Pixar}} film to do so since ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'' in 2011. Its success would eventually lead to the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse'' trilogy being developed, with a sequel, ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'', released on June 2nd, 2023, and a third film, ''Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse'', set to be released on March 29th, 2024.

** Peter B. Parker's first lesson to Miles is "Don't watch the mouth, watch the hands", before revealing he's untied himself. Miles tells Peter the same thing in the climax after revealing he's stolen back the "goober".
** After being called out for being late to class, Miles retorts, "Well, Einstein says time is relative". He tells Gwen the same thing at the end after she notes that she's a year older than him.

* IronicEcho: After Miles' first interaction with Wilson Fisk, he goes home where his mother tells him ''"Our family doesn't run from things"''. Later, [[spoiler:Aaron tells Fisk ''"You know me, sir. I don't ever quit"'', as Miles discovers his identity.]]

* NeckLift: The Prowler, pursuing Miles on the roof of Aunt May's house, grabs him by the neck and dangle him above the ground. That is, until Miles [[spoiler:pulls up his Spider-Man mask and reveals his face to his uncle]].

** Every instance of "I love you" between Miles and his father highlights a significant change in their relationship. At the beginning, Jefferson makes Miles say it back to him [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents in front of everyone at Vision Middle School]]. After the death of [[spoiler:Uncle Aaron]], his father tells Miles through a closed door "You don't have to say it back." [[spoiler:Finally, in the end, while still wearing the Spider-Man mask, Miles tells his father "I love you" of his own free will.]]
** As mentioned in the page quote, "A leap of faith" shows up several times to describe the moment when you know you're truly Spider-Man: [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre when you choose to be]].

-->'''Peter Parker:''' That's all it is, Miles, a leap of faith.

** The Spider-Gang saying "you're like me" after they first meet each other.

** When Miles buys a Spider-man costume to hide his identity, the shop owner (Stan Lee in cameo) tells him "it always fits... eventually" with a TwinkleSmile. Indeed, the costume is an awkward fit for Miles as he struggles to act like Spider-Man and often fails badly. As his character arc develops, leading to the "What's Up Danger" sequence, there's a flashback to Miles returning to the Spider-Lair where Aunt May gives him a set of web-spinners and tells him "they fit perfectly" with a smile and a wink, indicating that Miles is now ready to accept the mantle of Spider-Man.

* TriumphantReprise: Throughout the movie, the Prowler's DroneOfDread became the musical representation of Miles's fear and anxiety. When he takes his leap of faith, "What's Up Danger" begins to play which includes Prowler's drone layered into the song. While the drone is not musically changed, the song's upbeat composition with bold lyrics about willingly being InHarmsWay starts to overshadow it. When the "Can't stop me now!" crescendo hits, the drone is completely overpowered and signifies that Miles has fully taken on the mantle of Spider-Man. By the end of the song, the drone is still there but has been beaten into submission.

** In the first movie when Miles meets his world's Spider-Man, his spider-sense was colored purple and green, but then it started to transitioning to red and blue, symbolizing from a beginning that this is the moment where Miles started his path of becoming Spider-Man and avoiding to follow [[EvilUncle his uncle]] mistakes.[[spoiler: This bites hard later in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'', with the reveal that the spider that bite him came from a another universe in which he has taken the mantle of The Prowler.]]
** Similarly in the first movie, Blond Peter tells Miles that the only thing standing between oblivion and stability is him. [[spoiler:Even as Miles takes up the mantle of Spider-Man and protected his universe, the second movie reveals that the very spider that gave him his powers was transported from a universe where Miles was meant to be Spider-Man, robbing the universe from him and making it into a CrapsackWorld.]]

** As Peter and Miles escape Alchemax, one of the scientists can be heard shouting their concern. Only it's not that Spider-Man has infiltrated their facility or that he's leaving with a workstation that likely contains proprietary data, but rather that he took a bagel.

** During their escape from Alchemax, Miles throws away the bagel Peter B stole. It hits one of the scientists in the head as the word ''"BAGEL!!!"'' pops up above it.
** During Miles' "one last time" recap, there's a scene where he and Ganke fist bump after Miles reveals that he's Spider-Man, the sound effect above the bump says ''"Best Buds"'' implying that Miles and Ganke's friendship will blossom like it does in the comics.

* VerbalBackspace: When Miles finds himself walking on the security office ceiling, he tells his feet: "stop sticking". A moment later he falls out the window, finds himself standing on a brick wall, and changes it to "keep sticking".

'''Peter Parker:''' You won't. It's a leap pf faith. That's all it is, Miles: A leap of faith.

->'''Miles Morales:''' When do I ''know'' I'm Spider-Man?\\
'''Peter Parker:''' You won't. That's all it is, Miles, a leap of faith.
