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.

people are saying “y’all are gonna see a cartoon spider-man in theaters?” like they didn’t say “if i see your kids in the theater for incredibles 2 i’m beating them” a couple months ago

why are some people just like..proud of their weird fetishes

Look at it upside down:)

i dont know what to do i never thought penguins were that small this is too much for me
