There's a subtle bit of story telling going on if you have subs on throughout the game. For the first third of the game, whenever Miles speaks his subtitles say "Miles". But after he's made his own suit, his subtitles read "Spider-Man" from there on out.

Actually the subtitles say miles until spidey jumps off the rooftop and says "you're New Yorks ONLY spiderman" that's when his subtitles switch to spider man.

Yeah, and that scene also goes deeper. The guy who says "he is OUR Spider Man" is the guy that painted Peter's Spider Man on the wall, and told Miles "the OG is kinda my guy you know" when Miles asked if he was gonna paint the new Spider Man. So that guy ended up from not caring much about the new spidey, to calling him OUR Spider Man. Specially since he saw it was Miles too! Man, I was too invested in this game!!

When Phin asked Miles why he still is fighting, I wish he said "Because I'm just a guy who doesn't give up" That would've been more emotional in my opinion, because that's what his dad always said. I feel like that could've brought that full circle from the first game

So true this guy is amazing 🤯

My favorite thing about the “Because I’m Spider-Man” line at the end is that throughout the game when people ask Miles why he keeps fighting his response is always “Because I made a promise.” That promise is the promise he made to Peter in the beginning of the game. He will protect the city until Peter gets back and then the weight is off of his shoulders. When Ganke says “you always mean the other Spider-Man and never yourself” it is true. Miles keeps fighting because no one else is in New York to uphold the promise he made to Peter. However, throughout the game Miles develops as his own hero until he eventually calls himself Spider-Man. At this point Miles finally understands the famous phrase “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.” I probably stumbled my words a bit but I think I got my point across.

@SkittlesInYourHand

I think that is the arc of Miles through the game. At the beginning he's fighting to live up to a legacy but in the end he's fighting to protect his home, which is why the guy at the end says "he's OUR Spider-Man"

My grandparents passed away this year and I just felt overwhelmed by life until I played this game. I screamed "Come on! Don't give up" at the last part and then realized I was screaming to myself, cause I'm still here and I just can't give up. Everyone out there that is feeling the same: Don't give up. Everything will get better eventually. You can do it. Muchas gracias por tu video, Alex. Va a escampar.

She and Miles argue about her plan, but before that's resolved, the question changes to one that's completely unambiguous and unrelated to the original. Like, of course Phinn wouldn't blow up Harlem, and her unwillingness to hear reason is totally contrived, or else it makes Miles the bad guy for being untrustworthy. So what's she even apologizing for?

Can we talk about how the climax feels so damn similar to the train scene in Spider-Man 2. Both Peter and Miles push themselves to their breaking points, holding onto the weight of an unstoppable force and where Peter stops the train, saves the people and is then saved by the people, Miles holds onto the energy of the reactor, the responsibility of being Spider-Man and though unwillingly, unloads it onto his friend because he realises he doesn't have to do it alone. Miles then returns, like Peter, to the people, the community he saved and though they all now know his identity, they keep it a secret and only see their saviour. They only see Spider-Man. Plus, listen to the soundtrack as Miles swings away! Tell me that doesn't sound like the music they play in Spider-Man 2!

From the opening, you know how colourful life he had and how he's surrounded by people who love him. It feels so warm, compared to Pete's cold, lonely life. He only had May, MJ and Harry when he was Spidey and even then, he was alone when being a hero. It shows how they both may have similiar moral codes and personal strength in doing what's right, they are 2 different spiderman. They both are a friendly neighbour hood spiderman, but they both have their own journey to becoming it. It's kinda like when Pete says soemthing along the lines of doing the hard work so the future youth can have their pizza adventure. Miles has to struggle to learn to become spiderman but he' so lucky he has a mentor, someone who inspires him to become more but also that hardship is par of the resume.

@@leandrobesevic4424 except Miles isn’t really shown as being perfect. In the comics he makes plenty mistakes, in the film he makes a lot of mistakes, and in the Insomniac game the whole storyline involves him making mistakes and learning he has to fix it on his own. So no miles morales isn’t a “perfect” black character. He makes mistakes and learns from them. Also you can say all the other Spider-Men are more complex but they still haven’t had as significant cultural impact. Last Halloween I saw plenty kids dressed as Miles Morales...when’s the last time someone dressed as Ben Reilly or Kaine Parker for Halloween. Oh wait...never

Every time I receive another notification from this channel, my day gets just a bit better.

I love how all their lives Miles and Phin have had this friendly rivalry on who outshines the other and even now after they reunite they still fight over their goals.

Spider man is the best marvel hero, he the everyday hero who helps others. Miles is a prime example of that.

The way he leaps off of rooftops and turns to face the camera before falling into a head first dive is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen, it gives me goosebumps every time he does it

I seem to remember you say that "Good Art makes you Feel something" from the Spider-man PS4 video you made. This video, especially at the 11:11 had tears fall from my eyes, and it hits me right in the feels,man. It such a great video! Keep up the good work!

I hope you're doing great man. It's always great hearing you talk about the things you love. Definitely can feel the passion.

Alex, the way you look at film and art in general, I feel like most content creators don't get into. What I mean is that, you look at art how it's meant to be looked at. This game isn't supposed to tell an extravagant story that we've never heard or seen before, it's supposed to improve on the prior's experience and still feel just as grounded. So thank you Alex, for truly looking at art how it's meant to be looked at. Literally, every video you post, every take you make I agree or agree to the most part. I dunno, I guess many people feel this way when they watch, but I truly you should have more support than you actually do. I truly appreciate the amount of effort you put in these videos. On top of that, you shoot short films, which is just mind-boggling. Not only do you do that you also try to watch as many movies as you can to try to be as grounded as possible on your takes. Cause as we know art is subjective, not everyone has to agree with you POV. But somehow I agree with everything you post or for the most part, so Alex please continue grinding and hopefully one day you might achieve your dreams of becoming a director.

That last scene where he was dancing down the sidewalk was literally perfect

Hey I’m so sorry that you feel that way, I hope u feel better soon and thank you for being honest. Your fans will always be here for you. Thank you for your content and keep doing what you do 💙

From one Alex to another, you’re absolutely killing it bro! You’re literally making the videos I’ve always wanted to. Know that whenever this starts feeling tiring, that your work, just like Spidey, resonates with people and makes them feel seen. You’re a great storyteller bud. Keep putting on the mask and moving forward, because you’re going far! Much love!

Hopefully Spider-Man 2 is as good as the past two masterpieces

I was literally hoping you'd upload this! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Insomniac has done it again folks! This game is a narrative spectacular, with next-generation videogame features that allow you to truly live your life not just as Spiderman but as Miles Morales, arguably one the greatest Spidermen out of the infinite Spider-verse verse of Spidey's. I love Miles so much because I truly connect with his character and his passion for aiding his community, and what it must feel like to live up to your own name, as well as living in the shadow of a legend. I know that may seem preachy/cringy and you may not believe me but as an African, 18-year-old who was born from two heritages, I genuinely feel like there's a part of me that admires and feels like Miles sometimes ( and you may not believe me or judge me for what I've said, and that's fine, your rightfully entitled to say your own opinion about me). Spider-verse is one of my favourite superhero films of all time and love that people are acknowledging Miles as a true Spiderman in both the film and this game as well. Insomniac truly knows what it means to write Spiderman as much as Rocksteady and Telltale know how to write Batman, and they have a deeper understanding of the character and all Spider-man than even the film could perceive. Overall I love this game, I love the previous game, and I love Miles Morales. My favourite Spiderman quote about Miles is when Peter said to Miles: Peter: "Don't do it like me, Miles... Do it like you!"

YOU INSPIRE ME! THE END

This video has helped me in more ways than you can imagine Alex. The ending, where you talked about Miles moving forward. The way you said it, it brought literal tears to my eyes. The fact that there are other people who think the same way as me, the fact that I'm not weird. I've not been feeling myself lately, and I think I shd've watched this video when I had the chance. Thank you Alex, I love your work and keep it up! Once again, Thank you, you've made me feel better about myself, the way you talk about the things that you love, the words you say, they've made quite an impact one me. Much love

I'm surprised to you didn't mention that at the end they give Miles his own version of the train scene in Spider-Man 2 where Peter has lost his mask but the people on the train promise not to tell anyone and try to protect him. For me that moment at the end of the game was just as emotionally impactful as that scene from Spider-Man 2. All the people there watching miles are the people he spent the entire game helping and protecting.

He could say that in the future. That game was just like ITSV. It was about him BECOMING Spider-Man. So when he’s an established Spider-Man in the future and he says I’m just a guy who does give up. It will be all the more special because of the time that he spent with that mindset.
