![]() Until he chickens out and walks back down dozens of flights of stairs. ![]() Morales buys a non-refundable Spider-Man costume, pours through old Spider-Man comics, and finally works up the courage to test his abilities on the city's rooftops. When he's witness to Spider-Man's death, he joins a city in mourning but chooses to don the mask, if he can figure out how to harness his power. He sweats profusely, his hands are sticky, and the voice inside his head grows louder and more dominant. That spider bite see him grow taller overnight. He has "no expectations" for his life, but life, it turns out, has a plan for him. But his teachers see through the ruse and assign him an essay to share the story of the person he wants to be. He would rather go back to his old school "among the people." He's sharp but deliberately fails his tests in hopes of getting the boot and returning to the life he knows and prefers. ![]() Morales is a high school student with a knack for art who goes to an "elitist" preparatory school. Spider-Man is killed, but not before he passes the torch to Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), a young man himself recently bitten by a radioactive spider and discovering his newfound powers. Things change when he faces off against a desperate Wilson Fisk (voiced by Liev Schreiber), a man who is attempting to open a dangerous portal to another dimension in order to reunite with his wife and child, who are deceased in his universe. Each battle with every villain leaves him licking some wounds, but he's always ready for more. Peter Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson) has been the "one and only" Spider-Man for a decade now. It's fresh and familiar at the same time, a blast to watch, and sure to become a new favorite within the Superhero cinema landscape. At the same time, the movie builds around a unique art style that recreates the comic book page on the screen. Into the Spider-Verse introduces a number of "alternate" spider-heroes who stand side-by-side with New York's newest web-slinger, fostering his growth as a human being and as a masked hero. The film's basic plot mechanics are not dissimilar from any other introductory Spider-Man film: a high schooler is bitten by a radioactive spider, struggles to deal with his newfound powers, and eventually embraces his new identity as a hero when he is thrust into action against unspeakable and highly determined evil. ![]() ![]() Just when Spider-Man fatigue should be setting in, Sony Animation goes and makes a brand new, exhilaratingly scripted, beautifully assembled, dramatically relevant, socially current, and uniquely visualized origins story for a new generation in a film that hearkens back to Superhero basics, as in it almost literally brings the inky comic book art style from the page to the screen.
