It will look at the money Across is making, the critical reception, and draw all the wrong conclusions. It will look at Across and see the giant room of the Spider council and all its cameos and references and nods and make that the central focus. Much as Far From Home and No Way Home fundamentally misunderstood what made Into the Spider-Verse so special, with brief visual excursions and a play on nostalgia that will age like milk in the sun, I expect future MCU outings-especially in the midst of its ongoing Kang saga-to dial the cameos up to eleven. In a world of superheroes drawn from incredibly stylised comics, why does it need to make sense? If Spider-Verse followed that logic, it wouldn’t have made the waves it did. Far From Home production visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs discussed visualising the ‘Peter Tingle’ - AKA Spidey Sense - with IndieWire, but “couldn’t come up with a live-action analogy to the graphic wiggly lines that made much sense”.
Pulling back the curtain in interviews, it’s clear why-Marvel Studios is hell-bent on what’s ‘realistic’ (and cheap), not what looks good. Everything is washed out and there are very few interesting camera techniques, with standard framing and cuts that look like they were ripped out of a sitcom. No Way Home looks better in parts, but it’s still shot like your usual MCU movie. RELATED: Across The Spider-Verse Will Never Beat The Mario Movie
But these scenes are the exception to the MCU rules, and even the Far From Home finale boils down to Spider-Man fighting grey drones on a grey bridge before it all comes to a grey conclusion. Sparks of creativity come from Mysterio when he twists what Spider-Man knows to be real, unleashing an army of himself, making an undead Iron Man crawl out of his grave to taunt Peter, and pushing him to contend with a swarm of Spider-Men.
Most of the film drags us through dull environments, despite the exciting globe-trotting pitch, with greys and browns making up the majority of its colour palette. Far From Home came out one year later touting Into the Spider-Verse as inspiration, but it’s a generic, ugly, by-the-numbers MCU flick.
