"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is truly a one of a kind movie. It is nothing like the classic goofy "Sam Ramy" trilogy, not as serious as the "Amazing Spider-Man movies," and not as big picture as the Tom Holland movies. I could talk about it's never done before animation style, or it's an incredible score and use of effects, but I'm not going to do that. Instead, I want to talk about identity, and how this movie best encapsulates the struggle of identity.
Miles Morales is a black kid with a black cop for a dad and a Latino doctor for a mom who is accepted into the most prestigious schools in his area, did I also mention he's freaking Spider-Man? Throughout the whole movie, Miles feels like he doesn't belong. Doesn't belong in a prestigious school, doesn't get to make any decisions that impact his life, and doesn't deserve to be the mantle after his earth's version of Spider-Man passes. This is a prevalent theme throughout the entire movie. With such little time to learn the basics of how to be the successor to an Icon, his identity is truly flawed. The whole movie Miles tries to imitate his supernatural peers, and this not-surprisingly fails every single time he attempts it. He doesn't even change his Spider-Man outfit until late into the movie, previously dawning a Spider-Man Halloween costume that doesn't fit him in anyway shape or form.
Miles doesn't truly become his own person until the final act of the movie after everyone is constantly down his throat about what he should be doing and how much he's doing wrong, he finally shuts them out. He spray paints over Peter Parker's costume with his own design, climbs to the top of a skyscraper, and jumps. Everything up until this point is at stake, considering Miles doesn't have complete control of his powers yet, but this exists as his proving ground to show the world what he can be. Also a little side note, the score also mixes Miles' love for hip-hip/rap music along with the usual score for every spider person, adding a little bit of depth to Miles growing into his mantle of the next Spider-Man.
If you're a fan of Marvel, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is a good pick if you are looking for something to watch for leisure, because you're quarantined, or whatever the case may be.
