SPOILER-ALERT! No, not from us! This spoiler comes from the SPIDER-VERSE itself, announcing ‘To Be Continued’ right at the end. 2+ hours to set up one more go at SPIDEY: THE ORIGIN STORY (Chapter Five: Dad Dies). Does anyone imagine they’ll even go thru with it in some putative Part II? Regretfully, after seeing Spidey masters Phil Lord & Christopher Miller demonstrate that MORE truly is LESS, perhaps it’s time to bid the SPIDER-VERSE goodbye. A shame too, as the previous entry, INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE/’18 was such a happy surprise.* Now, 15-yr-old Spidey, the Black High School Spidey with a cop for a father, gets confronted by Anti-Matter ‘Spot’ (slackly voiced by Jason Schwartzman, but conceptually the best thing in here), a Super-Villain powerful enough to need a village (of Spider-Entities) to counter him . . . in the next film. If too many eggs spoil the pudding, here we have too many Spideys! And all with parental separation issues. Too many styles of animation thrown at us. Too many plotlines & characters (hoping to gain multiple views so you can reach Level Six). The film’s evanescent look both cool & headache inducing. So, when the next one opens in a year or three, let us know how they finesse their way out of knocking off Dad so we don’t have to sit thru another 2+ hours.
WATCH THIS, NOT THAT/LINK: *And INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE/’18 so promising. https://maksquibs.blogspot.com/2019/05/spider-man-into-spider-verse-2018.html
