I understand why the studios are all licking their chops over the multiverse thing. That way they're free to keep rebooting the same characters every few years. They can also kill off whoever they want and still have them come back (looking at you Zod).

It's also a way to inject even more nostalgia into some properties. And nostalgia = big buxFarmer John wrote:I understand why the studios are all licking their chops over the multiverse thing.

I have a lot of issues with some characterizations here and some story choices but damn, the animation here surpasses the first one by a lot. Such generosity of detail. And I loved the increased focus on the parents. All the super explainy spider verse stuff had me checking out mentally, and this type of cliffhanger with literally NO resolution kind of bugs me, but overalll very good
