Highlights of 35 minutes of Spider-Man: Towards Spider-Verse & # 39;

"I promise not to reveal any film secrets, so that everyone can enjoy the film as much as I'm getting ready to do, and if I like the movie, I can talk about it." But I promise to say nothing to Sony's executives that I've seen. "

Saturday morning at the New York Comic Con panel for the highly anticipated Spider-Man: in the Spider-Verse, creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller directed an oath of discretion in front of an audience of 5,000 members. After the overwhelmed auditorium collectively pledged to reveal nothing that they were going to see, the lights went out and the first 35 minutes of unprecedented In the spider worm has begun.

It soon became clear that this experimental exploration of Spider-Man is anything but over-typed. Reflecting the high quality of its trailers, Spider-Man: in the Spider-Verse has a first act that screams "classic snapshot" and leaves every fan to whom I spoke who wants more.

Here's all you need to know about surprise filtering, including some minor and major spoilers. (Hey, dude.) Ask someone who was there! I made no promises to Sony.)

Warning: minor spoilers are waiting for us.

Miles Morales is the spider man that our universe needs

The beginning of the film introduces us to Miles, the Morales family, Sony's bustling Brooklyn, as well as the tip of the spider-wolf shared iceberg – and everything looks so right. Whether it's the adorable deposit of Miles on the first day of school (featured in the trailer) or his purchase of the Party City Spider-Man costume, Sony Miles seem to be the perfect representation not only of the beloved cartoon character, but also heroes that tell our stories need today.

Brian Tyree Henry and Lauren Vélez, the actors who make the voices of Miles 'parents heard, expressed similar sentiments during the panel, highlighting Miles' representation of a "good man par excellence". Shameik Moore, Miles 'voice, also explained how important Miles Morales' existence was for him and the other people who identified with his education.

In simple terms, if you're looking for a Spider-Man at the height, In the spider worm is where you will find it … or she. We have not seen where Spider-Gwen is taking us.

The writing is tight and hilarious

The MCU has a little too often left its script dialogs until the last moment. In the case of Sony's animated film, this will obviously not be a problem.

Helped by a superb animation (more on that later), In the spider worm champions of the fast paced and very entertaining dialogue throughout his first act. At one point, Peter Parker evokes a not-so-amazing state of life in a monologue that includes a meditation on seahorse weddings to be embroidered on a pillow. In the same way, Miles' internal dialogue is a highlight.

If the writing quality of the NYCC premiere preview is ubiquitous in the film, the audience expects a hysterical and perfectly synchronized superhero movie.

Oh, one more thing. Stan Lee's cameo? It's perfection.

The animation is as gorgeous as promised

In the spider worm The trailers have so far sparked positive feedback for their visual style. But with abominations like Suicide team there, the public knows too well that it is impossible to judge a movie by its trailer.

Fortunately, the first 35 minutes of In the spider worm seems to indicate that we should not worry about the fact that the film holds its promises of magnificent rendering. Although some parts of the film were unfinished at the time of the screening, most of the visuals were already remarkably realized, giving life to a classic cartoon style and allowing the audience to "experience the experience instead of Miles" .

The imaginary of New York artists in particular is magnificent at the next level. Brooklyn is only one of the many boroughs that the film will explore and it will not disappoint. This reminds IRL Brooklyn deeply, but also better, light years away. If I could go to this Brooklyn, I would do it.

What is the key to this visual success? According to Miller, "I think the secret was that we had not said [Sony] what audacity of a visual approach we would adopt until it is too late for them to be able to change it. "It's okey for me!

We are (almost) definitely more

Although Sony Venom trilogy may struggle to take off after poor critical reception, In the spider worm should have no problem getting the green light for future projects. The first 35 minutes have all the characteristics of a hit and, assuming the rest of the movie does not succeed at all, you can bet that the audience will want more – and it's a double-edged sword according to its creators.

In the words of the Lord, if In the spider worm does well in theaters, they "will be stuck doing Spider worms movies because there are so many possibilities ".

WARNING: MAIN SPOILERS BELOW.

Kingpin (and his university-level henchmen) threaten Brooklyn

The cast of Liev Schreiber (as well as a brief appearance in the second trailer) clearly showed that the fictional crime lord, The Kingpin, would play a role in In the Spider-Verse. The NYC survey showed how important this role would be.

In this case, the pivot is literally a pivot. Using the control of Green Goblin, Prowler and many other super-villains, the Kingpin plays a crucial role in the debate. The first analysis positioned him firmly as a central antagonist (we'll talk about it later) and vaguely explored his links with Alchemax and his mysterious reactor, another key part of the Spider-Verse puzzle.

Although he did not have much time on the screen in the first 35 minutes, you can bet that The Kingpin will buzz many nasty monologues in the feature film and will take center stage at the first big shot of Miles, fingers crossed.

Gwen and Miles are definitely going to have a thing

Listen, I know Roma comedians. Gwen and Miles had a cute hardcore encounter in the preview. And that means we have to have a real love story between them somewhere in this Spider-Verse.

Here is what happened. During the first day of Miles in a classy private school that he does not want to attend, he arrives late in class. He makes a joke that collides with total silence and Gwen, another student of the so-called school of privacy, offers him a pitying laugh. Both guys got along well, but did not interact completely until Miles got his powers. I will not spoil their second meeting, but let's just say … that explains Gwen's sub-cut. And is phenomenally adorable.

This novel is already canon in the world of comics. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see it on the big screen.

Peter Parker is dead

You read correctly. Halfway through the movie, Peter Parker is crushed by The Kingpin after a battle with Green Goblin … a fight in which Miles is literally trained. The following scenes show New York City honoring the fallen hero, as well as Mary Jane pronouncing her husband's praise. All this is Infinity War-ripping level and instantly increases the stakes of the film.

After witnessing Peter's murder, Miles assumes the role of Spider-Man in honor of his predecessor. However, when visiting Peter's grave, Miles is surprised by … Peter? From another universe? And he is 40 years old? The way the universe connects has not been explained in the first piece of the film (even Peter does not seem to know it perfectly), but this miraculous reappearance is the first glimpse of Miles (and our) in the vast complexity of this world.

This film can not happen fast enough

At the end of the preview, I swear that the ecstatic public would have taken the casting and the team hostage and demanded the rest of the film – if the scene had not been so well protected by security.

The preview promised phenomenal debut for Marvel's icon, Miles Morales, and the first fully realized exploration of Spider-Verse on the big screen.

The only drawback? It was not until December 14 to see the feature film in theaters. Well, at least in this universe. If only we could get to that one, Peter is another … I bet it's already rave reviews.
