The enemies in this game are also pretty funny. I went to stop a crime and the guys said “Spider-Man? Seriously? It’s just a break-in!”

My favorite Miles Morales pun so far:

“Spider-Man, stop stealing our stuff!”

“Not my fault I’ve got sticky fingers!”

things we know about miles’s music taste based on the spider-man video game:

his dad was a jazz fan, and miles seems to have a decent amount of appreciation for the records he grew up with

he likes making his own beats from the sounds of the city, so he’s definitely into that aspect of hip-hop. (in the game, this is something he shares with his uncle aaron. it serves a similar narrative function as their shared love of graffiti does in itsv, which makes sense to me as they’re both part of the hip-hop subculture.)

he went to a dazzler and lila cheney concert, and he wasn’t expecting to like it, but he did really enjoy it. idk what kind of music that is, intergalactic disco rock, i guess?

Insomniac Miles likes basketball, obviously, as he used to play in the park with his dad and Uncle Aaron and now plays on the high school team, but we also know that he likes soccer (watching it more than playing it, maybe?) and that he was at one time pretty good at rollerblading.

fave part of saga is the comedy/horror of an entire race that's incapable of lying because you can literally see their thoughts on their screen faces

How much younger than Dick do you think Jason is? Starting at "less than 3 years" and going from 3, 4, 5, etc. up to "more than 10 years". TY!

Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes place not the Christmas immediately following Spider-Man (2018) but the next one. Miles has had his powers for at least a year and has been training with them for probably six months or so before Peter leaves him alone. This also gives enough time for the move to Harlem and Rio starting her campaign. I think Miles is probably in tenth grade here, meaning that Jeff died was he was in ninth grade, and he hasn’t seen Phin since their eighth grade graduation, approximately eighteen months before the events of the game.

May’s death in Insomniac Spider-Man always makes me cry. The very last exchange they ever have is Peter saying “I don’t know what to do,” and her saying “Yes, you do.” And she means that he knows he can’t save her at the cost of every other person in the city, but she also means that he will know what to do going forward, even without her.

The final climactic boss fight in Spider-Man (2018) is against Doctor Octopus. And the game makes a big deal of saying “Peter Parker helped build these arms, he knows what their weakness is,” and then you go through a very dramatic cutscene of Peter building a new Spidey suit, presumably one that capitalizes on this weakness that he knows about. But when you get to the final fight, you find out that the power up you’re given with this last suit is that you can use your gadgets more often. The regular gadgets that you already had access to. The only thing that changes is that you get more refills. Which is just such a boring thing to introduce in the final fight when you’ve set up that Peter is going to exploit the arms’ weakness. Because the arms’ weakness is just webs, which would be cool, I guess, if we hadn’t been using webs the whole game.
