History Fridge / SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse

** Also, Pavitr provides a potential glimpse at how Miguel works. Pavitr has only be a Spider for a very short time and given his response to his Canon events - that is, he acted as if he wasn't aware it was something special, even calling out for Singh to move - it's possible that Miguel intentionally tries to contact Spiders only AFTER the formative events take place, and/or keeps newer recruits in the dark (See also Spider in therapy). Pavitr perhaps was only even contacted because his universe's Alchemax was so close to completion that he would have discovered the multi-verse sooner rather than later. Gwen is only in the loop reluctantly by him and likely as a way to minimize the possibility of her jumping around on her own which is why she's one of the few for whom these canon events haven't happened.

* Donald Glover's appearance as a live action Prowler could be a hint to the identity of the second Prowler at the end of the film.

* During his return "home", Miles sees flashes of his traumas, with Miguel's BreakingSpeech, the Spot and the death of his uncle all showing up. But interestingly, we ''also'' see a wave of Octavia's tentacles reaching out to grab him at the climax of the dream sequence. Apparently, his first adventure left far deeper psychological scars then we thought.

** If it's anything like what happened to her in the comics, Peni might still be recovering from loss. In her universe, her version of the Venom symbiote (named VEN#M) was an [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion EVA-UNIT esc.]] machine that not only ate ''her friend'', who made the machine to begin with, but also '''her worlds' Aunt May'''. It was already established in the first movie that Peni lost her father some time ago, but she never mentioned losing anyone else close to her. The events of VEN#M's attack might have just happened later in this universe, which would've caused Peni to relapse when it came to grief. Adding all to all THAT, the same time VEN#M came around, Peni was recruited for the ''Spider-Geddon'' event, meaning she had '''no time''' to even remotely process her loss. Just replace Spider-Geddon with "recruited into the Spider-Society and making sure the multiverse stays in tact'', and is it any question to why she became so miserable?

* Gwen's complicity in helping the Spider-Society and there draconian ideal to enforce "canon events" makes sense - Unlike most of them, she had literally no where to go to: Her mother is presumbed to have died. She has no friends on her home dimension and the one person she did consider her best friend died. Her father, now knowing her secret, tried to arrest despite her pleas. If it wasn't for Miguel and Jess, it would've ended badly. Not only did they save her from making a tough decision but they also led her to meeting more Spider Heroes (including Hobie and Pavitr). Plus, already in a vulnerable state, and learning of how "every Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man" (and dies), it (in a disturbing way), made it easier for her to believe in such ideals.

* Earth 42 Mile's in his Prowler suit is awfully similar to that of the Tinkerer from Spider-man Miles Morales, which shows how more intertwined the universes are, after all the more things change(42!Miles being Prowler instead of a Spider) the more they also stay the same(Miles in general is influenced by his environment and the people he knows and loves, for better or worse). Or to put a little more simply, there are constants and variables to the story, which both supports and spits in the face of Miguel's "Canon Events".

* So if the spider was never meant to bite Miles does that mean he would become the Prowler where the Earth 42 version of him would become Spider-Man?

* Hobie's DefectorFromDecadence and stealth mentor role is a massive GeniusBonus given the fact in 616, he commonly would wear the suit for Peter when his identity was threatened/he was out of town, basically being a fake Spidey to help out our main Spidey. What is he's doing in this film? Playing the role of a average Spider-Society Spider-Man to discreetly help our main Spidey!

* If Miguel is aware of MCU Doctor Strange, than he's probably also aware of what [[Recap/WhatIfS1E4WhatIfDoctorStrangeLostHisHeartInsteadOfHisHands another version of the same character]] did to his own universe. Considering that's exactly the sort of thing he wants to prevent, it's no wonder Strange is such a BerserkButton for him.

** Spot's ineffectiveness at initially determining himself as Miles' nemesis is also rooted in this. The ArchEnemy of Spider-Man has usually been somebody who reflects upon some aspect of Peter's life, furthering his personal conflict with them both within and outwith the mask -- Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin reflects upon his dual life as Peter and Spider-Man, Doc Ock reflects upon his scientific mentality and how his fighting style integrates technology (his mechanical web shooters) and Venom is basically a corrupt and super-powered version of the heroic spider-Man identity. In the Comics, Spot has only every really confronted Peter Parker as a low-tier D-lister villain because of his ineffectiveness with his immense power, so there is no historical comic-book animosity that can be drawn upon to support his claims of being Miles' destined foe. Furthermore, this version of Spot has ''no'' true connection to Miles at all, despite his claims otherwise. Their powers don't really contrast or reflect upon each other[[labelnote:*]]at a stretch, you could claim that their powers are each rooted in [[CrossoverPowerAcquisition dimensional warping]], but even then other variants of Miles have the same powers he does[[/labelnote]], Miles never really met Ohnn in his prior civilian identity, and Spot hasn't even done anything to make Miles treat him seriously at the film's beginning, which is part of why he terms him a VillainOfTheWeek instead. Even Ohnn's claims of them "creating" each other has some extremely tenuous logic to it[[labelnote:*]]the spider ohnn claims was "his" was shown to be ready to bite Earth-42 Miles in a FreezeFrameBonus, meaning it was already destined to turn a Miles Morales into Spider-Man without his interference, and his flashback of his transformation in the Collider room shows that Ohnn himself was far more culpable for his mutation than Miles, which he [[NeverMyFault conveniently glosses over]][[/labelnote]], and it's clear that Spot's perception of events is coloured in part by [[DrivenByEnvy his desire to be the arch-villain of a respected superhero that he had a hand in making and become respected that way]]. However, there is '''one''' aspect where Spot contrasts Miles that ties into the movie's theme: that being that Spot ''makes'' his own destiny of becoming Miles' ArchEnemy, stubbornly forcing Miles into the role he wants to give Spot himself purpose in his altered condition, regardless of what Miles himself wants to do. Spot claims they're destined to be foes, and becomes powerful enough to ''force'' that reality into being, even if there's practically no thematic or historical reasoning for either or them to oppose each other, in much a parallel of his Miguel and the Spider Society are trying to enforce the idea of what kind of hero the figure of Spider-Man should be.

*** Miles runs straight through and snags people as he goes, hurling everyone out the windows as he looks for other people. Since he doesn't have the arm-span to physically carry five people out, doing it in this way gets them out of immediate danger into open air. Conveniently, since he's bringing up the rear, when he senses incoming debris he can just turn around and smash it.
*** Pavitr is the one who snags the civilians and snares them with his web-lines. Between the two of them, Pavitr, who incorporates diabolo techniques and all four of his limbs into his web-work, can perform more intricate maneuvers with his lines in midair and at greater speed than the others, which lets him lasso them all in one go and then reel them in. The others, with only their straight-shooting webshooters, would probably need a few more moves to do something similar.

** The original release poster is no slouch in this department as well. Miles is shown upside-down while the others are standing upright, signifying that he is doing things his way.

* In the comics, Pavitr's girlfriend is a Indian version of Mary Jane, whereas in this movie he's dating his universe's equivalent of Gwen Stacy instead. Considering Pavitr just started to have his canon events happen to him, its likely that, following the death of Inspector Singh that was ''supposed'' to occur, him losing Gayatri just like [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied most Spider Men lose their Gwens]] was next.

* The imprisoned villains cheering Miles and booing the Spider Society parallels Gwen's later armour-piercing line that 'We're supposed to be the good guys'. The Spider-Verse's moral world has really turned upside down when the villains are cheering for Miles (albeit out of spite rather than heroism) and booing the notionally heroic Spider Society, and we ''agree'' with them.

* Hobie claims he doesn't want to be called a hero because heroes are 'self-mythologizing narcissistic autocrats'. This description actually completely fits Miguel and his Spider-Society. Self-mythologising is sort of obvious - the whole narrative of 'canon events' creates a mythos around the events of their lives, and even the use of the word 'canon' derives from Catholic doctrine. 'Narcissistic' - well, it is pretty narcissistic to assume that one's own suffering is the foundation of the safety of the multiverse with very limited proof, and doing so reduces everyone else - all the heroic police captains, dead love interests and tragically murdered uncles - into just sources of angst for Spider-People, which is a ''deeply'' narcissistic mindset. As for autocrats...well, Miguel seems pretty autocratic in how he runs the Society, with his unilateral refusal to allow Miles' participation and his absolute insistence that things be done according to his own theory of what caused the destruction of his universe.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' episode [[Recap/WhatIfS1E4WhatIfDoctorStrangeLostHisHeartInsteadOfHisHands "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?"]], we found out that Strange Supreme couldn't save Christine no matter how many times he tried because her death was an Absolute Point that was necessary for him to become a hero. Even when he finally subverts her death, she dies anyone because he broke his universe. That sounds an awful lot like Canon Events. Additionally, we find out in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' that Strange never gets together with Christine in any universe. Thus, never becoming something more with Christine in some shape or form can be considered Doctor Strange's Canon Event.

* Given WordOfGod has confirmed Miguel's unrelenting devotion to "canon" and disdain of Miles as a "wrong" Spider-Man was a analogy for fans who don't like Miles as a successor, it makes sense he also talks ill of [[Characters/MCUPeterParker the Earth-1999 Peter]] given that Spidey has also had a BrokenBase on whether he's a good adaption due to the many liberties taken in his films.

** Additionally, for Noir, he's a character who, by nature of his 'genre', is a character that fights against the inevitable and fights for justice at all levels, even if it's a hopeless fight. He is the light in the dark foil to Miguel's grimdark view point. He don't see him until the end because it's unlikely he would have accepted Miguel's stance and thus position in the Society.

** The Canon Events consists mainly of Spidermen losing their loved ones and very few other kinds of event that isn't a personal tragedy. If they are positive, then they are often short-lived. Any other superhero origin story can tell you that there it take more than just losing your loved ones to make a hero.
