Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Discussion Thread - WITH SPOILERS

Can you confirm this is a variation of him?
Can you confirm it's exactly the same character? The only thing we have is his appearance, and multiple Spiderman can have the same suit anyway.

Also, he is in the Spider Society, so at some point this variation have to be recruited, which obviously didn't happen on the show itself.

I also doubt Insomniac's new Spiderman game will make ever reference to having their Spider-Man in the Spider Society, for example.
 
It doesn't really matter, they're cameos in my view, since they fit the perfect defition of it:



In this case, none of the cameo Spider-Man in Spider-Society plays a major role, the major roles in this movie are played by the characters originated from it like Miguel, Spider-Punk and India Spider-Man, and the previous movie, Miles, Gwen, Peter and then Noir, the pig that I totally forgot the name and Penny.

"Played by a distinguished actor or a celebirty", Spec is in the exact same art style from his comic, so is Ben and Unlimited. They're the same characters, play a small role, are there just for "haha cool reference from my childhood cartoon" and nothing more. They enter the defition of cameo, but does it change anything? No, since they're the same from their own media, Spec is from his cartoon, so is Ben and Unlimited.

Milly thinks "cameo" somewhat makes them like, not the exact same from their original media, he got it totally wrong. They're cameo by definition.
At this point, you’re only really going into the definitions of a cameo. The manner in which these Spider-People appear doesn’t invalidate them in a VS setting


Still disagree. Miles should be scaling to his own speed feats. Not depending from a different Spider-Man from a cartoon from the 90s.
I understand your opinion, but if there’s a valid explanation and reasoning for scaling, as there is here, then he can in fact scale

TBF Peter doesn’t need to look at the screen and say “IN 2023, I WAS IN ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE IN WHICH I ENCOUNTERED VIDEOGAME MAN AND ATARI GREEN GOBLIN” for his appearance to be considered legitimate
 
There's also the fact that these shows took place decades ago and their power and speed will never be properly showcased in a modern movie, especially when these Spideys are just cameos instead of the actual thing.

This isn’t really a great argument. We can’t simply say “these things are decades apart, scaling can’t really be used”

Yeah, I dont think it doesn either, what's your point? I just think that Miles and everyone else should scale to their own feat, and not from a cameeo character that plays no major role in the movie, and certainly isn't supposed to say how fast Miles is.

Sorry, but I'll fight for the opposite when time comes. I'm just waiting for the thread.
 
Bruh just slap a Supersonic (or whatever speed feat they have in the movie), possibly HH (Unlimited scaling)

I don’t have to prove a negative, you made the assertion he was a different variation. Unlimited has a distinct suit, so to say this is a similar but different Spider-Man to have it doesn’t add up, especially since no one else canonically wore it.

Also, he is in the Spider Society, so at some point this variation have to be recruited, which obviously didn't happen on the show itself.
This is a very bad argument, considering we never saw SSM get recruited on camera, and yet we objectively know this is the same one we knew from the show.

We can wait several months for that claim to be confirmed, but until then, I have no reason to stake in that.

TBF, scaling never has to always originate from major characters

Yeah, I doubt that too. I even doubt the MCU giving a **** for this at all, this a Spider-Verse exclusive thing. It's quite obvious now.

It should be a priority. It's not a character that appears for a few seconds, with 0 relevance for the plot and the story that should dictate the Tier of the characters.

Why would the MCU respond to this? We see MCU related characters and events, but it’s not like MCU Peter was chilling at the Spider-Society

If scaling was determined by plot relevance, a lot of profiles would get debunked to hell

You got the wrong idea of this comment. I doubt the MCU would care about the canon events and such things, they could even consider the events of that movie as canon-breaking, but the MCU wouldn't care at all, since it's not a thing there. Same with Earth-199999, it's 616 unless MCU says otherwise. Got it?

That's reaching. Not relevant here.
 
When Miguel explicitly refers to Earth-199999, Dr. Strange, and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, which means he knows and has seen them before.
Of course, that I’m not denying. I just don’t think when Miguel said that, it was meant to demand the MCU to follow up on that

I never misunderstood it

I dunno, feels kinda relevant given your argument is about plot relevance
 
If I have to list one difference, it's that the Unlimited Spider-Man in the movie has a different art style, he looks 3D, while the one in the series is 2D.

This is important because we saw a 2D Spider-Man (The one from 60's Cartoon I think) trying to capture Miles, meaning the Unlimited Spider-Man from the show should have looked the same.

Spectacular’s appearance is canon and he’s 3D here. They just made him look like he does in his cartoon without completely breaking away from the 3D artstyle

It’s a transition style. In the first appearance, Insomniac Peter has is in-game model. In the second (stop Spider-Man scene) he’s drawn. There’s no real discrepancy.
 
Post that image immediately

I with M3X regarding scaling Miles to Unlimited spidey, this is at the very list an assumption

Other time quoting the Marvel Database, they said that thought the movie there was not two, not three, but four difference appearances of Unlimited, each taking place in an different location in an different time. The one during the explanation of the canonic events was even using the nano tech during the death of Uncle Ben, which doesn't make any sense if we are following the story of the cartoon

Yes, the page end up saying it should be assumed that the "real" one appeared in the movie, but we can't say THAT EXACTALY UNLIMITED WAS THE ONE WHO PUNCHED MILES because of this

Unlimited didn’t punch Miles. He tried and Miles dodged

I’d like to see this shot of Unlimited with Ben solely on the basis of I don’t trust the Marvel Database due to its admittedly iffy pages

We see a second Insomniac Spider-Man during the pointing scene even though we only see one in the poster (like with Unlimited)

How do we know its not just them reusing assets and goofing up by putting the same model in different back to back shots? Hell, we only see one during the chase, just like with there only being one in the posters. We never see more than one at a time

What kind of argument is this? Are we supposed to ignore the existence of multiple variants of the same Spiderman and say that "they don't actually exist, they were just re-used"?

Plus one of them already differs from the canon of Spider-Man Unlimited in the series, having a suit for a moment that he simply shouldn't have.

Funny thing is the idea of a canon event originally came from the Doctor Strange episode in What If, just in that it was called an absolute point. There's also the fact that ATSV does a lot to make sense out of other weird stuff from the MCU and Sony Marvel Universe, like MCU Vulture for some reason just randomly getting transported to the Venom universe, which is explained to be happening to many villains as a result of both NWH and ITSV. I also remember seeing an article that the writers of ATSV met with Kevin Feige to discuss the multiverse but I can't find it. Point is ATSV is definitely a part of the MCU multiverse.

ATSV unintentionally fixing Feige's mistakes

That different Advanced Suit Spidey can just be explained away as a variant of the real Insomniac Spidey who's credited as being the real deal in the movie. Keep in mind that even Miles' Spidey from ITSV had an Advanced Suit in his collection of suits too, doesn't make him the Insomniac version.
 
I mean, in the case of ATSV, there's only a speed feat being scaled to so its not really erasing every other feat
 
Also TBF, scaling like this doesn't negate the unique abilities of a character. Or their intelligence and skill feats
