    Why not Animation?- A Retrospect and Review of Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse Jul 07, 2023

    Today after weeks of digesting the movie on many watches. I wanted to speak on the theories around why Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse has brought such a cultural shift that it almost begins the debate that if a character is done so well in an animated setting why is there a need to create a live action adaptation. If DC animation had released any of their popular films to theaters would it have garnered the same reaction because when done correctly it can ruin your perception of how they are created in live action. Miles Morales and his incarnation of Spider-man does exactly that for the next generation of movie goers.
