“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

Spider-verse 2 was really quite good. As a supehero story, a sequel, this examination of western animation aesthetics through the multiverse conceit, and mythology writ large. And it’s all conveyed visually. There’s never just two characters talking A/B camera or explaining what’s happening at the given moment. For a children’s movie in 2023, it has confidence that audiences will get it. Or even if they don’t, there’s enough to appreciation on the surface level. It’s more dense than the Mario movie with references.
