It’s a visual reminder that Miles wasn’t yet the person he needed to be in order to wear the suit then. We have seen this moment before, but his face didn’t line up with the mask on display when Gwen Stacey, Peter Parker, and Miles first entered the Spidercave in an earlier scene. My favorite detail during these flashbacks is when Miles sees his reflection in the glass that holds the Spider-Man suit. We hear audio snippets of those who have influenced his path to this moment, including his mother, father, and finally Peter Parker. We’re shown that she was waiting for him to reach this point in his journey.
There are visual reminders of previous scenes to give us a sense of place, like the subway, and Miles’ literal journey back to Aunt May to get help. The editing and direction take advantage of different storytelling methods in these moments. We see how Miles has arrived at this moment as he sits and contemplates the challenge ahead of him. What he’s about to do is hard, and he knows it, but he also knows it’s the only way forward. The new outfit frames his face, he’s surrounded by the city, and his face is determined. The best way to begin is just by watching the whole thing by itself. The scene is Miles’ leap of faith: the moment he becomes Spider-Man. It’s my hope that I can help you see things you might have missed the first time around, or maybe gain a better understanding of why the scene made you feel a certain way, or even just get you to watch the movie for the first time if you haven’t already. I wanted to look at my favorite scene from Into the Spider-Verse through the eyes of someone who designs games for a living to help you see why I love this movie so much. I’m a lead game designer at ArenaNet, and I’ve previously worked on projects with NASA. Nothing is wasted every detail is there to add something to the emotional impact of the scene. Each time I watch the film, I notice more details in the beautiful, precise execution of each moment, and it always reminds me of the thoughtfulness and care that goes into the best movies.
I have seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - now an Academy Award-winning film for Best Animated Feature - seven times now.
