Into the Spider Verse is finally doing what mainstream CGI animation should have been doing for years: creating visuals only possible BECAUSE of the chosen medium.

CGI is a modern crutch. It’s cheaper than 2D by a landslide, and easier to churn out with the support of a studio.

But the actualization of a medium clicks when the medium is being used in ways that only it can. Focusing on rendering every hair, on recreating beautiful photo-realistic landscapes, that’s fine. It’s impressive. But the approach reaches a point where we’re left wondering:

“Why didn’t you just make a live action movie?”

Spider Verse brings the aesthetic, the aim, and the FUN of comics to the screen in a gorgeous way. I’m fucking thrilled that Miles is getting such a beautiful, unique, and frankly revolutionary introduction to the big screen.

can i get an AMEN up in here

Haven’t posted here in a while but this is special. Gonna be seeing a lot of spiderman from me between now and December, and then after that. This movie is gonna be mindblowing and artistically revolutionary and I cannot wait.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go back to freaking out about the Into the Spiderverse trailer one frame at a time.
