Watched the movie earlier today. I'm not sure how they're going to wrap up three different villain factions in one movie but we'll see. I didn't much like him at first but Spider-Punk won me over in the end and is easily my favorite of the new characters even if I can't understand him half the time. Looking forward to the next one.

Not to hard. I figure Miguel will end up reforming and help Miles stop Spot In the next film

I cannot believe the MCU has literally made a show and a movie to hype a multiversal threat but they managed to show it here with the Spot in a natural way that made him go from joke to terrifying from the start to the end.

And if anyone asks, I know theyre entirely different characters but the MCU was selling people on the Kang threat and I think this sold a multiversal threat way better

Spot totally lost from the start. Miles kicked his ass multiple times in the film. It's just that that's, like, kind of the point. Spot's meant to be a pathetic Rogues Gallery bottom-feeder who obtains phenomenal cosmic power but can't think of anything to do with it other than pathetic Rogues Gallery bottom-feeder stuff. Limitless godlike power? Cool, I can really piss off my local neighborhood do-gooder with that!

Kang's supposed to be a dignified, ultra-terrifying menace. So powerful and scary is he that one wonders how he could ever possibly be defeated. And that just doesn't vibe with him perpetually getting his teeth kicked in like Team Rocket.

Different villains require different beats to set up.

This pretty much.

Maybe they could have salvaged Kang if they have Quantum Kang post defeat claw his way back to power and somehow get a major win. People love a comeback story.

I'm curious to how Spider-Punk and Spider-Man India are seen by British and Indian people respectively.

[up]At the very least, the latter seems to be perceived as a glow-up from his rather uninspired comic design.

I also think there’s a good chance that Earth-42 Miles will end up being an ally as well. He doesn’t actually seem evil. Just cold and hard because of his rough upbringing. So really the only real villain is Spot.

[up][up][up] I've seen a lot of Indian folks expressing a lot of love for Pavitr. I'm of Indian descent myself and I thought he was really cool, as well as his home dimension of Mumbattan. Helps that his costume here is also so much better than it is in the comics.

[up][up] Agreed on the costume. I've seen what his original costume looked like and it was so dull since it was just a moderately alter version of the classic. The one from the movie is just a great all around design all on its own.

Now I'm just waiting to hear how much of Punk's British Slang is true to life.

A while ago, I brought up the possibility that Beyond might be affected by the WGA strike. This tweet by Chris Miller says that animation feature writers are covered by TAG. So while they’re still getting a raw deal, it’s probably not likely that any strikes are gonna cause a delay. Probably. I don’t know for certain.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like Hobie.

With that being said, I saw it again and my feelings are pretty much the same. I love this movie, but Peter Parker being okay with letting people die without even challenging Miguel’s ideology still seems very out of character. And it’s especially weird when you realize quite a bit of the things he says is is extremely flawed. It makes Miles look good, though.

Peter's point isn't about that. It's about him telling Miles that things won't always go your way and he should be prepared to accept it when the time comes, and learn to step forward about it. That's the whole point of the Mayday, because Miles taught that to Peter.

Was Spot supposed to be more powerful during the second fight against him, or was he just more experienced using his powers by then? Because even before he activated the colider thingie and became an eldrich abomination, he was formidable enough to fight four versions of spidey at once.

[up]x4 Eh, I don't really care for him, but that's partly aesthetics (I just don't care for the punk aesthetic generally) and partly because he's basically just right and awesome from start to finish which means his only arc is well, being right and helping the other characters, which leaves him pretty flat for me.

On the broader Peter Parker point, I'll say 'We can't always save everyone,' is legitimately a good message, you will sometimes fail and that can/will have negative consequences, accepting that is part of life, but what's missing is the usually unsaid counterpoint to that for a superhero, 'We will always try to save everyone.' And that's what's lost here, in my view.

[up]ETA: Yeah, there's clearly some sort of time dilation or something going on between universes, my take was that he'd gotten his spots back, gained a lot of experience and was finally reaching apotheosis when they caught him.

Find it a bit genius that while Miles does not want loss to define him being Spiderman, No Way Home tells MCU Peter that their losses define them to continue the theme.

In a way Miguel is basically asking Miles and every other Spider to repeat Peter letting the burglar go but on the biggest possible scale. Miles refuses to let that happen and have them repeat their old mistakes.
