Okay, let's go. I've got my #SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse cued up at 0:00. Why the #SpiderBagel hashtag, you ask? Named after my favorite joke in the whole movie. (We'll get there.) We ready? Pressing play...now.

From the Columbia logo on, I knew we were in for something...new. No idea how new. Or what. But...yeah. Then the COMICS CODE symbol?! FUCK. #SpiderBagel

Chris Pine. I always liked him. Until Hell or High Water, where I fell in love with him. Perfect voice of Spidey-prime. #SpiderBagel

Look at it. Just look at it. This is the most comic book I've ever seen a comic book movie look. It's...gorgeous. And this is one of a handful of movies that I'd say benefitted from being seen in 3D. #SpiderBagel

The cultural specificity of this movie is so on point. Miles is a native codeswitcher. Spanish to his latinx friends and moms. King's english to his pops. Leaning into it with his friends. #SpiderBagel

This movie is what I always long for diverse movies to be: It's Black—or, rather, Afro-Latinx—without it being about being Black. (Or Afro-Latinx.) #SpiderBagel

It's not about The Struggle. It's about Miles' struggle. #SpiderBagel

From the soundtrack, to the graffiti, to...everything. It's shot through with the experience of being Brown in NYC. #SpiderBagel

At 7:50, we get our first glimpse of a villain—and an explanation for what's going to happen—but it's in the background. It's not important, until it is. What IS important is Miles meeting Gwen for the first time. #SpiderBagel

Maybe I fucks with Miles Morales so much is that I WAS this kid in high school. A smart under-achiever. #SpiderBagel

When Biggie came on the soundtrack, my old-head ass smiled like a MORON in the theater. Again, part of what struck me was how familiar this was to my own experience of being a kid in New York. #SpiderBagel

And, again, fucking BIGGIE ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF A SPIDER-MAN MOVIE? #SpiderVerseIsSoBlack #SpiderBagel

At 11:40. The music... #SpiderBagel

BROOKLYN! #SpiderBagel

Dat Apache break! #SpiderBagel

Great Expectations, indeed...we know Miles is gonna get bit. Just a matter of when. What an audience is expecting from a Spider-Man movie, vs what we got. #SpiderBagel

I have never been that cool when anything has bitten me in my entire life. Including my first girlfriend. #SpiderBagel

The internal narration boxes! #SpiderBagel

"Why am I so sweaty?" #SpiderBagel

One element of good story is planting seeds then paying them off. That shoulder touch. #SpiderBagel
