Filed Under: Into The Spider-Verse

With Sony's Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse swinging into theaters this weekend, we're breaking down all of the noteworthy moments from the excellent animated adventure.

Some of the reveals have already made it online via an officially released cast list and post-credits stinger description, but there are still plenty of surprises in the movie - even if the biggest twist is something fans of the Ultimate Spider-Man comic will almost certainly see coming!

Read on if you're curious to know more, but if you haven't seen Into The Spider-Verse yet beware of major SPOILERS.

To view the moments all at once, simply click on the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!

Miles Is Stuck On Gwen

No Spider-Man movie would be complete without an embarrassing powers-related school scene!

Miles actually first encounters Gwen Stacy in his physics class, as she's attempting to blend into his reality while she find out what the heck is going on. The young hero is smitten, and follows his uncle's advice by giving Gwen the "shoulder touch." Unfortunately, his newly sticky spider-hand gets caught in her hair and has to be cut free, which is why Spider-Woman is sporting half a shaved head in the trailers.

Not a huge moment, exactly, but it's a funny, awkwardly endearing sequence that paves the way for a closer bond between the characters later on.

Kingpin Is Attempting To Get His Family Back

Kingpin's reason for activating his reality-bending device goes much deeper than the usual villainous world domination stuff.

It turns out that Fisk's wife and son walked in on him while he was laying a beat-down on Spider-Man (Peter Parker), and were so shocked and flustered by what they saw that they wound up in a car accident which cost them their lives.

Kingpin believes he can bring them back (or at least, a version of them) by folding the various "verses" in on each other - even if New York is destroyed in the process.

R.I.P. Peter Parker

Yes, Peter Parker - the one from Miles' reality - is killed early on in the movie while attempting to thwart Kingpin's plan.

Spidey (who is voiced by Chris Pine) almost succeeds in destroying the device, but ultimately ends up trapped under some rubble. After Miles promises to take up the mantle - and responsibilities - of Spider-Man, Peter gives him the key that will shut down the machine, but before he can get free Fisk and his cronies approach.

After Parker angers Wilson by telling him his family are never coming back, the ruthless villain crushes his nemesis with his powerful fists in a pretty shocking scene.

Stan Lee

The legendary Stan Lee's cameo in Into The Spider-Verse may genuinely be his best, and is guaranteed to bring on all of the feels.

Determined to keep his promise, Miles purchases a Spidey costume for none other than "The Man" himself, who informs the budding hero that he and The Webhead were friends. When Morales asks if he can return the outfit if it doesn't fit, Stan tells him "it always fits.. eventually."

It's a lovely scene, and a fitting tribute to our late Generalissimo.

Miles Breaks The Goober

With the key Spidey #1 gave him (Peter B. Parker calls it a goober), Miles should be able to shut down Fisk's machine and save the city. Unfortunately, he breaks the damn thing when he falls on his ass while attempting to do whatever a spider can.

The goober then becomes a McGuffin, as Miles, Parker and the rest of the Spider-Gang must find a way to fix it or create a new one before Kingpin turns his machine on again.

Doc Ock

Some of you may already be aware of this, but Fisk's chief techie turns out to be a gender-switched take on Doctor Octopus, who is brilliantly brought to life by Kathryn Hahn.

Ock's reveal is one of the highlights of the movie, as Peter and Miles encounter the villain in her civilian guise when break into Kingpin's lab to steal his computer. Parker turns on the charm, but it's 'Liv that winds up manipulating him and soon reveals her other arms.

Doc Ock almost bests both Spideys in an exciting action sequence, until Gwen swings in to save the day.

Aunt May Is A Badass

We all had a good laugh when those rumors about Sony planning an Aunt May spin-off movie circulated a few years ago, but to be honest, if this May was the focus it might not be such a bad idea!

Spider-Verse's May Parker (Lily Tomlin) is seemingly just as scientifically minded as her nephew, creating some new webshooters for Miles and keeping the deceased wall-crawler's base of operations up and running. Plus, when Kingpin's cronies follow Miles to her home, she picks up a baseball bat and knocks Scorpion right back out the door.

More May in the sequel, please!

The Prowler Unmasked

The big twist in Into The Spider-Verse is that Miles' uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali) is actually the villain known as The Prowler. While many comic book fans will have seen this coming, the reveal is still superbly executed.

A dejected Miles heads to his beloved Uncle's apartment only for The Prowler to follow him inside. When Morales turns invisible to avoid detection, Aaron unmasks in front of his terrified nephew.

Miles manages to escape to May's house, but Prowler follows him... and he doesn't come alone.

Kingpin Murders Aaron

Something else that comic book fans may have anticipated, but that doesn't make what happens any less emotional.

Kingpin and the other baddies arrive at May's and engage the Spider-Gang, but Prowler ends up cornebering Miles on the roof. Before Aaron can land a killing blow, Morales unmasks and pleads with his uncle to let him go. Prowler releases him and steps away, but is then gunned down by Fisk.

Miles takes Aaron to an alley, where he says his last words and dies in his nephew's arms. The tragic scene is witnessed by Miles' father, who believes Spider-Man was responsible for his brother's death.

SP//dr Is Destroyed

Image result for spider man into the spider verse peni parker

While none of the flesh and blood members of the Spider-Gang perish in the final battle, Pennie Parker's beloved robot SP//dr winds up being destroyed by Scorpion, who is in turn laid out by Spider-Ham with a cartoon mallet.

It's a sad scene, but since Pennie is the least-developed of the main characters it doesn't really resonate as much as it could have. Plus, we see that she's working on a new version of her metal companion towards the end of the movie.

Miles To The Rescue

Image result for spider man into the spider verse miles vs kingpin

Because Miles finds it difficult to use his abilities on command and is generally just not that great in a fight, Peter and the others decide that it'd be best if he sat out the final battle. However, after an emotional, if very one-sided conversation with his father, the teen makes a "leap of faith" and truly inhabits the mantle of Spider-Man.

Miles suits-up and arrives just in time to stop Kingpin with an electrified version of the "shoulder touch" his Uncle taught him, saving the day (not to mention the city) and allowing his friends to return to their own realities.

Meanwhile, In 2099...

Once the credits have rolled, we meet Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac), and his holo-assistant Lyla (Greta Lee).

It seems O'Hara has been keeping an eye on the events of the movie and is very happy to hear that the multiverse has now stabilized, with Peter Parker and the others returning to their own realities.

Miguel then decides to "start at the beginning" and activates a time-travel device in order to pay a visit to the original 1967 Spider-Man animated series, where he recreates the famous "pointing scene" that has now become a well-known internet meme. Both Spideys then argue about who pointed first in a very funny little homage.

Why this crap again? This just make trolls and assholes feel welcome to throw these spoilers in the comment sections of unrelated articles. Same shit happened with Infinity War and it spoiled parts of that film for me. Articles like these should be held until after the film's opening weekend.

MarkCassidy - 12/10/2018, 7:18 AM

@RextheKing - There have been detailed spoilers for the movie all over the net for over a week now. If a troll wanted to post that info he could find it almost anywhere.

RextheKing - 12/10/2018, 7:24 AM

@RorMachine - Same argument always made when you guys pull this and still a shitty one. Anyone one of us the can tell you that once one of these articles go up the frequency in which spoilers find their way around the site increases. Yeah the problem still exist, but you are making it worse.

MarkCassidy - 12/10/2018, 7:27 AM

@RextheKing - Trolls gonna troll.. we can't do anything about that aside from banning them when we notice. The movie is out in several regions and will be out everywhere by the weekend. This is a SPOILER article for people who have either seen it and want to discuss, or don't mind knowing the details before seeing it. Nobody else has to click.

RextheKing - 12/10/2018, 7:32 AM

@RorMachine - You can make it less inviting for trolls to troll, by holding these spoiler articles till the Monday after opening weekend.

CaptainElrond - 12/10/2018, 7:34 AM

@RextheKing - @RorMachine - As a mod i will keep an eye out and delete any spoilers.

RextheKing - 12/10/2018, 7:35 AM

@CrazyCipher - Thank you,

RextheKing - 12/10/2018, 7:37 AM

@RorMachine - I know you mean no harm but this does inconvenience us, and if you can't see it, just forget I said anything. If I keep bouncing back and forth on this article, and spoiler I accidentally skim will be on me.

MarkCassidy - 12/10/2018, 7:40 AM

@RextheKing - TBH, I honestly haven't seen anyone posting details from these spoiler articles in a long time. If they're that blatant about trolling chances are they'd have been banned for something else already.

aflynn - 12/10/2018, 7:43 AM

@CrazyCipher - Agreed me too, luckily we haven't seen any spoilers really to delete just users very entertained from seeing Into the Spider-verse.

RextheKing - 12/10/2018, 7:44 AM

@RorMachine - Well I hope so and TBH myself, I've seen less and less trolley comment lately myself(good job mods) so you may be right. Still think these articles should wait, but if no harm come of it, then I'm fine.

CaptainElrond - 12/10/2018, 7:45 AM

@BpBestPicture - Pretty much. Unlike infinity war where people spoiled it just to hurt us.

Saga - 12/10/2018, 7:15 AM

The movie isnt even out yet in many countries, mine included. Couldnt you wait at least a week to post all these spoilers?

L0RDbuckethead - 12/10/2018, 7:19 AM

This film was really good, and IMO, lived up to the hype. Can't wait to see it again.

I didn't like him at first, but I definitely warmed up to Jake as Peter after seeing him on-screen with Miles for a bit.

aflynn - 12/10/2018, 7:22 AM

Best CBM left this year and best reviewed

SuperCat - 12/10/2018, 7:26 AM

When I first saw the trailer. I told myself I had no interest in seeing this.

BIGBMH - 12/10/2018, 7:36 AM

Saw an early screening this weekend and really enjoyed it. The timing and execution of a certain cameo legitimately broke me.

Roodi - 12/10/2018, 7:39 AM

@RorMachine 12 noms for Black Panther for Critics Choice Awards.

knocturnalzen10 - 12/10/2018, 8:15 AM

@Roodi - if he post that article it will be 14 pages of ignorance smh :/

but happy for that film getting recognition......

knocturnalzen10 - 12/10/2018, 8:13 AM

can't wait to take the offspring to this on Thursday

BruceParker - 12/10/2018, 10:51 AM

No thanks. Spoiler free for me. I used to be horrible about spoiling movies for myself. I've gotten a lot better about that.

dnno1 - 12/10/2018, 3:03 PM

CaptainElrond - 12/11/2018, 5:54 AM

@dnno1 - Underrated comment.
