It takes the new animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse about three minutes to make a reference to a film that feels like it was released a lifetime ago, Spider-Man 3. In one of the new film’s many running gags, we’re given a sped-up origin story for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man because the filmmakers correctly presume that we all know how some kid turned into a superhero. The first time around, Peter Parker (voiced by Chris Pine) quickly glosses over one of the more jaw-dropping moments from Sam Raimi’s 2007 film, in which Peter did a strange dance number in public. This Peter then says, “Yeah. We don’t talk about that much.” It’d be easy to envision a universe in which this new iteration of Spider-Man — literally the third new cinematic Spider-Man in less than five years — would be one too many. Instead, Into the Spider-Verse is maybe the most satisfying depiction of Spider-Man ever.

Was a amazing movie, I think this movie is what every marvel cinematic movie should be.

I think superhero live action should be relatable, realistic stories stories and action (dark knight trilogy). And animated film should be shenanigans, humor, and offer so much escapism. They both are amazing but I don’t think they should mix.
