r/IntoTheSpiderverse
How will Beyond the Spiderverse reference Doomsday & Secret Wars?
Before anybody gets mad at me, no I am not suggesting any ridiculous plans like "the film ends on Battleworld" but it is clear Sony would like to incorporate a bit of multiverse shenanigans from the MCU into their own films, like the Aaron Davis Prowler or Miguel mentioning Doctor Stranges spell.
So what neat little things would you guys like to see?

It would be sort of poetic if it were Rio's words that help persuade Miles to join Gwen's band.
What made Gwen Stacy become Spider-Woman in the Spider-Verse movies, and which comics explore her backstory?
I recently rewatched Spider‑Man: Into the Spider‑Verse and Across the Spider‑Verse and realized that I don’t know the full backstory of Spider‑Gwen. Peter Parker was driven to become Spider‑Man by the death of Uncle Ben. But Gwen didn’t seem to have a tragedy like Uncle Ben’s death that motivated her to become a superhero. Her friend Peter Parker died after Gwen became Spider‑Woman, so his death couldn’t have prompted her to become a superhero. Do the movies ever explain what initially motivated her to become Spider‑Woman? Also, her mother is never really mentioned in the movies. Is her mother’s fate explained in the comics, and did it have any impact on Gwen? Which comic book would you recommend reading to learn about Gwen Stacy’s backstory and what prompted her to become Spider‑Woman?
MCU Spider-Man would absolutely side with Miles in Across the Spider-Verse
One of the core features of No Way Home was trying to save the villians that had been transported to the MCU. And one of the other main parts was Doctor Strange and Spider-Man disagreeing about whether or not to save the villians or let them die. Spider-Man was trying to save them because he believed that they would continue to live if they were saved and transported back to their universe.
This aligns with Miles's belief that he can save everybody. (You have the choice between saving one person, and an entire world-every world." "I can do both!") Both MCU Spidey and Miles believe that they need to save everybody no matter what.
The Spot and The Collider/Visual storytelling
Most probably know The Spot already is amazing with his visual storytelling of “giving into the hole inside you” or “the unfinished sketch/blankspace”, but something I don’t see brought up is him and the collider
Every time the The Spot changes his mindset and objective in life, from when he’s a literal background character to the main antagonist of the final movie, the collider is there, all happening in the main room of it too
-Ohnn chooses works on the collider which sets his fate in motion
-He gets caught in blast turning him into The Spot that at the time just seeks validation and purpose from the one person left that can acknowledge his existence
-After Spider-Man shatters him, he sheds his portals, swallows himself, discovers his potential, and gets spat back out at the collider with a new purpose, but has to work for it
-Builds his own collider to further gain to power to punish Spider-Man, once again letting the collider just make his life worse (from our perspective at least)
-Finds an even bigger collider that literally takes him down a dark path. Instead of just awkwardly consuming him (like it didn’t even know if it wanted too)** **like his mini one, this one entirely consumes him whole.
-While he rebirths himself here, he also leaves here aswell, and when he does, he crushes himself inward, and naturally has apart of himself reaching out to be free of this terrible pain he let consume him, symbolising his self destructive journey
-By far my favourite one and most underrated. In the end of the movie he comes back to 1610, choosing to land at the Collider, the birthplace of the anguish and which started all of this in the first place. More powerful and confident than ever, He literally rises above it, leaving all of that behind to entirely fulfill his new purpose of punishing Miles. The past doesn’t matter anymore in this moment.
The Spots visual design was very important to the producers and directors of the movie, yet the collider symbolism I don’t think was ever mentioned in the commentary or interviews, which makes me believe even more that they really are just naturally incredible storytellers. The final scene of The Spot returning was also a last year addition, it would’ve been so easy to write him to just land in the middle of the city, to create fear in us and the citizens, but the character is just to peak to stay inconsistent.

GOAT trilogy?
I was thinking about movie trilogies recently. Do you guys think that the spider-verse trilogy has the potential to become the greatest animated movie trilogy ever? Or even greatest movie trilogy in general?
I know it is very subjective obviously but I would love to hear ur guys thoughts. In my personal opinion, if BTSV sticks the landing, then it will definitely be my fav movie trilogy all time (and Ive seen all the top picks like LOTR and star wars, etc).
