History Fridge / SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse

** Miguel's entire "Canon Events" theory is based on the destruction of his family's universe. Except we only have his word for it that it was his presense specifically that caused it. For all we know, it was a completely unrelated event (such as, for example, that universe's version of Alchemax activating their own supercollider), and Miguel merely assumes it was his fault out of survivor's guilt.

** Still, the fact Gwen just sent Scarlet Spider someplace else without a thought really shows how she feels about the society right now. The Spider Society had mistreated her, hunted her would-be boyfriend and she now learnt that the Canon Event which they chewed people out for doesn't exist, so Gwen was in a really, '''REALLY''' foul mood to break a lot of bones, especially Miguel's who was already on her "hate" list for all the mentioned actions against her.

* Miguel O'Hara has a singleminded belief that some people have to die for the universe to continue surviving, an insistence on choosing what he believes to be the LesserOfTwoEvils on behalf of others, and displays increasing instability when said others who are[=/=]would be personally affected by said deaths predictably have something to say about it. These traits make him a bit reminiscent of another antagonist recent viewers of Marvel-related media would be [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar very]] [[Film/AvengersEndgame familiar with.]]

** 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.

* Miguel's annoyance/anger at Holland Spider-Man and Strange goes deeper than just creating an anomaly. Remember, the spell that was cast was threatening to draw in everyone that 'knew Peter was Spider-Man'. So there's that side as well. But even deeper, Holland also reverses it with the reverse language. Given that Strange had to affect the multi-verse in order to prevent people from crossing over, it's possible that his spell caused various Peter-oriented Spider-Men across the multi-verse to suddenly find themselves in a situation where no one they trust (or not) knows that Peter is Spider-man and have to fix that. And this applied even for Peter-adjacent people like Miguel who doesn't call Holland "Peter" but "that nerd", implying that he doesn't know Peter is Spider-Man of that universe. At the minimum for someone like Miguel, he can easily re-discover the information but nevertheless, fixing the lost memories would have been a huge mess for countless Spiders.

* If the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Spectacular Spider-man]] in this film is the same one from the 2009 cartoon, that means his Captain Stacy died sometime after Season 2 of the TV show, and it broke him so badly that he was susceptible to Miguel's reasoning that it was a canon event, absolving him of some of his guilt.
* 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, it's 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.

* Miguel calling Lego Spider-Man one the Society's best might seem like a funny scene, but it holds weight. The movies shows that, no matter what universe you are from, you will retain your original look and size. Since it is assume that Lego Spider-Man is the same size as an actual Lego Model, he's rather small, likely the smallest Spider-Man recruited, which makes him excellent for stealth, not to mention he's very competent and dutiful. In a group full of potential smart asses and trouble makers, Miguel likely sees Lego Spider-Man as a nice change of pace.

* Earth 42 Miles 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".

* The ConservationOfNinjutsu during the chase through Nueva York makes a lot more sense when you remember that, [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome as we've seen before]], Spider-people are generally much more used to operating solo than they are to working as a team, so they could more than likely be getting in each other's way a lot. Indeed, the Western-themed Spider-man accidentally shoots one of miles' pursuers and incapacitates them with a missed shot aimed at him, showing how the Spider-Society isn't effectively operating as a large-scale team, contrasting with how Miles, Gwen, Pravitr and Hobie operated efficiently as a smaller unit in Mumbatten.

* Miles may have taken inspiration from uncle Aaron for his new suit's design: Aaron's Prowler suit had the same "fly ambiance down the sides", only purple on black instead of red on black. This recontextualizes the ribbing he gets for "bleeding from the armpits" from Pavitr and Peter B. into something accidentally quite hurtful, though there's no way they would know.

* How does Hobie’s massive hair fit inside the mask? Because his hair "breaks the rules" of physics.

* Miles may have taken inspiration from uncle Aaron for his new suit's design: Aaron's Prowler suit had the same "fly ambiance down the sides", only purple on black instead of red on black. This recontextualizes the ribbing he gets for it from Pavitr and Peter B. into something accidentally quite hurtful, though there's no way they would know.

* Of ''course'' Miles already has an escape plan. Remember who his mentor was?

* Miles deciding "I'll do my own thing" in front of Miguel is an extension of Peter B. Parker's advice to him in the first movie: "Stop listening to me... don't do it like me, do it like you!" He was a pretty great mentor after all.

* If the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Spectacular Spider-man]] in the film is the same one from the 2009 cartoon, that means his Captain Stacy died sometime after Season 2 of the TV show.

* On a metatextual level, it makes perfect sense to have the leader of the Spider Society be a version of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Miguel O'hara]] rather than a version of Peter Parker: a Peter Parker would never be willing to do the things a Miguel would.

** By contrast, Miguel O'hara stems from the year [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 2099]], a dystopian society ruled over by [[OneNationUnderCopyright MegaCorp's like Alchemax]] where the name of the game is ''survival''. The age of heroes had long ended, and the ones who took up the mantles in this time were firmly {{anti hero}}es thanks to the original series coming out in UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, and Miguel O'hara was no exception. Miguel ''idolized'' the legends of Spider-Man, to the point the reason behind his even getting powers was an attempt at trying to ''recreate'' Spider-Man's powers. However, he was much more sardonic than the original Spider-Man ever was, and his version of the Spider-Man ethos tends to be less about "responsibility" and more about "guilt", as numerous times he questions ''why'' he's still acting as Spider-Man despite the pain it causes him, but keeps going out of a sense of guilt over his past behavior. Miguel was someone who did all he could to avert disaster, not only at his own expense, but also the expense of others, such as trying to stop Alchemax from ever coming to power in the past, even though that would likely erase everything related to 2099, including his family. Even when some versions were proven to be worthy of lifting Mjolnir, they did not use it for the power of Thor, rather they used it as a symbol of their ''authority'', the burden they had to carry with them, in the name of creating a brighter future.

** When the now-exiled Gwen returns to Miles Universe, her actions and body language in regards to the Spider Society has a more hostile approach. Gwen is a daughter of a cop and no matter how misguided the society are, but to Gwen, they are more or less potential murderers for trying to let Officer Jefferson die. This, combined with her guilt for betraying Miles, being betrayed by the Spider Society and learning that "Canon Events" are wrong, makes her more willing to show no mercy.

** However, the Spider-society was never "tasked" with protecting the multi-verse. Miguel is the one who started dabbling with dimensions in the first place, and once he started contacting other Spider-people and discovered constants like canon events, it all came together. Miguel built this charge around himself because of his past trauma, and the best thing for him to do now would be to let it go and heal instead.
