Let's begin our 2nd Breakdown of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse!
Number 1: After Miles is grounded for 2 months by his father Jeff, Miles comes back to his
room all frustrated.
And there we see a book on his bedside table that says "The Fire Next Time" by James Baldwin.
Now this is a very relevant hidden detail because in this book, the writer Baldwin writes
a short letter to his fourteen-year-old nephew, James.
Just like Uncle Aaron who is a mentor to Miles Morales.
Not only that, this book also talks about races and racism in The United States.
Number 2: The first time Gwen and Miles meet in this movie, Gwen asks Miles to go out and
they both swing through the city.
Now there underneath this bridge, notice the way the sun reflects on Miles' back.
It's a silhouette in the shape of a giant heart indicating just how much Miles is in
love with Gwen!
Number 3: The apartment where The Spot used to live in is now available for renting.
But notice the number in the billboard.
It says "1917 1610-616" Now, 1610 is the designation for Miles' universe
and 616 is of course the main primary timeline.
Number 4: Inside The Spot's apartment, Gwen Stacy scans the whole room for clues as to
what the Spot's been up to and where he might be!
And there we notice that Spot aka Dr Jonathan Ohnn has received multiple awards for his
work at Alchemax.
For example this one says "Break Through of The Year"
And if I zoom in, notice it is also signed by Dr Octavious, the CEO of Alchemax and Wilson
Fisk, the founder of the company.
Number 5: In this shot where we see a photo of Dr Jonathan Ohnn with Dr Octavious, notice
in the background we can see that Dr Jonathan used to have a Level 4 security pass at Alchemax.
Which explains why he was there in the Collider room in the first movie when Miles Morales
blew it up.
Number 6: The first time Miles enters into Spider-Man India's universe aka Mumbattan,
notice there's a guy on a horse!
And the people around him are dancing!
Now if you know the Indian culture you'll know that this is a groom on his way to his
wedding to meet his bride!
I love the fact that this scene takes place for only about 2 seconds and yet the animators
made sure to portray as much of Indian culture as possible.
Number 7: From here on, Miles gets tangled up in a piece of cloth called "Dupatta" in
Hindi, which is basically a thin scarf that Indian women use.
And if you notice the fabric of this scarf, the animators added these extra textures or
details as a nod to the rich Indian fashion style.
Number 8: When Miles was glitching in Mumbattan and bumped his head onto something, notice
the action word is now in Hindi instead of English!
And it says "Dhar" as in a sound effect if you hit something.
Number 9: At one point The Spot talks to a few locals who are riding a scooter.
Now it is illegal in India as well to ride a scooter with more than 2 passengers but
here there's a total of 4.
Which is also common in India, as it allows you to drive past heavy traffic during emergencies.
Number 10: In the scene where Miles saves Gwen in Mumbattan, there's a billboard that
says "Harshs" along with a few chocolate symbols.
Indicating this is the Indian version of "Hersheys" in this universe.
Now "Harsh" is a common name in India.
And there's also another billboard right next to it that says "Paani" which is incomplete
for "Paani-Poori".
And "Paani Poori" is a very popular Indian Street Food and I'm proud to say I'm one of
the lucky ones who had it in Canada as well.
Number 11: Now just like this universe has their version of "Hersheys", notice they also
have their own "Joe's Paratha" whereas the US counterpart says "Joe's Pizza".
Now "Paratha" is another form of cooked bread like Nan.
Number 12: Cars in Spider-Man India's universe also have action words beside them.
For example if I translate the Hindi words you see on screen, it would appear something
like this in English: Now these words obviously don't mean anything
but I think the reason the animators did this is to convey that these cars are honking!
And people in India do honk their cars more often as it has a different meaning there.
Because pedestrians sometimes step on the main roads causing extra traffic, so people
driving cars have no other options but to honk.
And also cars in India do go very close to each other, so honking is another way of warning
the other driver around you.
Man, I love Indian culture, it may be loud but there's love all over!
Now, thanks to my friend from India who has helped me figure out all these hidden details.
Make sure to follow him on Twitter and join his Spider-Man discord server.
Number 13: In Pavitr Prabhakar's intro, we see two thugs in a motorcycle trying to escape
from a crime scene by shooting their way out.
Here the action word says "Dhishoom" which is like a blast or loud sound effect.
And over here where Pavitr webs them up and stops them, the action word says "Nahi" which
means "No" in Hindi.
Number 14: In the same intro, Pavitr shows us how he fought some of the same villains
like his other Spidey-Counterparts.
And this is probably Nalin Oberoi from the comics, a multiversal counterpart of Norman
Osborn.
And he also has a son named "Hari Oberoi" instead of "Harry Osborn".
Number 15: When Pavitr tells Miles that he doesn't apply anything to his hair, Miles
doesn't buy it.
And that's when Pavitr admits that yes he does apply coconut oil every now and then.
Now guess what, there are coconut-oil advertisements all over the city!
Meaning the animators have put billboards that stay relevant with the story.
Number 16: In the scene where we see Pavitr Prabhakar attending school, notice there's
a poster of the great Mahatma Gandhi.
Now, Gandhi is known for his philosophy of nonviolence that has inspired civil rights
leaders around the world.
And notice Pavitr's body is way bigger than all of his classmates.
Indicating that the Spider that bit him, did give him enhanced muscles just like it happened
with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man.
Number 17: When Pavitr is having a romantic moment with his girlfriend Gayatri, there
his Spidey-Sense warns him that Gayatri's father is behind them!
So they both turn around with their books in their hands.
But one thing that I noticed here after multiple rewatches of this film, is that Gayatri never
tries to grab any book.
It was Pavitr who grabbed 2 books, gave one to Gayatri and held onto one for himself.
That's how fast Spider-Man India is and this is the first visual representation of that
without any battle.
Number 18: At the beginning we've seen how Miles takes a hotdog from a vendor but he
eventually ends up paying him.
But notice when it comes to Spider-Man India, not only does he not have to pay, but the
vendor holds his hand up high so that Spider-Man India can grab the food while swinging.
And after he takes it, the vendor even waves his hands at him.
This immediately tells you how well received Spider-Man India is in his universe.
Everyone here is in love with him, because of his charisma and charm.
Number 19: Spider-Man India is the only Spider-Man who uses his feet and legs during swinging
or even in the middle of a combat.
This is because the animators have modelled Pavitr’s style after an Ancient South Indian
form of Martial Arts, originating from the state of Kerala, called “Kalaripayattu”.
Number 20: When Miles was fighting The Spot in Mumbattan, Miles collided with this giant
billboard.
Now, the advertisement on this billboard is actually of a real life Food Delivery Company
by the name Zomato.
But the hidden detail is not that, the detail is this:
Notice this female model on the ad.
That's right, it is actually Gayatri, the girlfriend of Pavitr Prabhakar.
They both have the same hairstyle, same earring on the right ear and of course the same choker
on their neck.
So yes it is indeed Gayatri in the billboard which means she's a part-time model as well.
Number 21: When Pavitr calls out The Spot for coming to India for self-improvement as
that's a Western Culture Cliche, notice we can see a billboard behind Pavitr.
It says "Sacred Wars".
Now this could be the multiversal counterpart of "Secret Wars" which will officially conclude
this whole Multiverse Saga.
Number 22: In Pavitr’s intro we see this shot where he’s jumping off somewhere.
Implying Pavitr also had a similar character arc like Miles where they both had to take
a leap of faith.
Number 23: Now lemme tell you each and every single detail about Spider-Man India's suit.
First and foremost his weapon!
This particular thing is called "Damaru" which is an object used by Lord Shiva in Hinduism.
And that is also why Pavitr has this "Tilak" or "Tika" between his eyes.
Which represents Purity and a connection to God.
And I absolutely love how Pavitr transforms this weapon and wears it like a bracelet.
And he also plays with it like a Yo-Yo.
Then comes his face mask, notice it replicates traditional face paintings practiced by Indians
during festivals.
Pavitr also has similar paintings on his shoulders.
For example this is called "Rangoli" and this "Light" symbol that we see in the center is
called "Diya or Deepak" Rangolis and Diyas are often used in Diwali
which is a Festival of Lights in India.
Then comes his Spider symbol on the center of his suit.
This is also made with "Rangoli".
Now, Pavitr also has "Mehndi" or "Henna" on his hands.
And the last detail is what Pavitr wears is called a "Dhoti" which he has in the comics
as well.
Now, Dhotis are an attire worn by Indian men during festivals or special events.
Now what's incredible about all these details is that none of these traditions or cultures
are from one part of India.
The animators took inspiration from all over India!
And if you know anything about India, you'll know that India is one of the richest countries
in terms of culture and traditions.
So hats off to the team who pulled it off incredibly!
Number 24: When Spider-Punk and Spider-Man India meet for the first time in the film,
although they've met before according to the story, they do this handshake thing.
Now, Phil Lord the writer of this movie has confirmed it is a nod to LeBron James and
Dwayne Wade’s handshake.
Number 25: When The Spot is about to escape through the multiversal portal, Miles stops
him by webbing his back.
And in a united display of teamwork, Gwen, Pavitr and Spider-Punk stand behind Miles,
interconnected by their web lines, forming a supportive chain.
But then The Spot cuts the webbing by opening a portal in between.
And this sudden release propelled all of them to fall backward.
But notice what happens here: Even though all of them fall backward at the
same speed, but it's only Gwen who stands up straight and is the fastest to do so!
Or in simple words: She's the first one to get back up!
It is because Gwen is a Ballet Dancer, as revealed in "Into the Spider-Verse."
And that is why out of all these Spider-People, Gwen is the only one with superior balance
and the ability to recover swiftly.
Number 26: The Spot throughout the movie just kept getting better at using powers.
For example, at one point, he was able to grab Miles from inside a portal.
Miles was nowhere to be seen but Spot could still spot him, and then he just grabbed Miles
out of thin air!
Meaning as the movie kept going forward, The Spot was getting better at utilizing his powers.
Number 27: Despite having met just moments ago, Miles and Pavitr showcase remarkable
teamwork For example, here Miles evacuates numerous
civilians from a collapsing building, tossing them to safety.
In response, Pavitr intervenes and wraps all these civilians with his web.
However, a question arises: How can Pavitr remain suspended in mid-air without attaching
his webbing to a structure?
This is where Miles comes into play, reaching out and firmly gripping Pavitr's hand, allowing
him to land the civilians safely.
Now that's what I call great team-work!
Number 28: Inside the Spider-Society we see about 280 Spider-Man characters.
But most of them are just random designs the animators came up with.
The significant ones do get their intros like this.
And in my trailer breakdowns, I have pointed out each and every single of these Spider-People,
so for this video I won't waste your time repeating it again.
However, there are a few new Spider-Man variants here that I'd like to quickly mention.
We see Spider-UK, Peter Parkedcar, Spider-Cat, Margo Kess and Spider-Rex.
Number 29: When Miles meets Margo Kess for the first time, Miles actually gets impressed
by her.
So much so that Gwen actually starts feeling jealous of this newly found friendship between
Miles and Margo!
For example, in this scene despite bidding farewell, Miles was still lingering his gaze
towards Margo.
Seeing this, Gwen gets jealous and webs up Miles to pull him away from her!
Number 30: Arran Baker, one of the great animators who has worked on this film has revealed a
very interesting detail on Twitter.
He wrote and I quote "On spider-verse we were encouraged to create crowd versions of ourselves
to help with diversity in the city.
Here I am!!
Had to add the backward beige cap."
Now, thanks to Arran Baker, we now have the knowledge that numerous background characters
in the film were actually inspired by real life individuals who contributed to its creation.
By the way lads, the image shared by Mr. Baker on Twitter is actually a screenshot taken
from my video, specifically the Breakdown Part 1!
Oh man it makes me so happy knowing that talented individuals like Arran Baker, who played a
significant role in crafting this movie watch my videos!
Number 31: Layla, Miguel O'Hara's assistant, shows Miles the Spider-Man characters who
wound up in the wrong dimensions.
And there we see a bunch of Doc Ocks, a Mysterio, a Miss-Terio and two video game characters.
Now notice this video game character is our favorite Spider-Man from the Insomnia PS4
game.
Yuri Lowenthal who voices the character in the game did the voice-over here as well.
Then we see a Kraven The Hunter variant, a Rhino and of course the live action Prowler!
Now this is probably Prowler from the main universe aka the MCU 616 or Earth-199999.
Because this video is only about hidden details, so I'm not gonna talk about my theories about
this character just yet.
Number 32: The first time we see Miguel O'Hara in his HQ, Miguel was watching footage from
all over the multiverse.
This screen shows the exact moment The Spot traveled to the Lego-verse, on the bottom
right we see footage of Gwen, and here we see Spider-UK and Jessica Drew.
And if you notice, this is the same shot of Spider-UK and Jessica Drew that we've seen
previously but from a different angle.
Another screen then shows footage of Miles' father Jefferson.
And this is before we learn about Canon Events.
Meaning Miguel was already keeping an eye on Miles' father even before he told Miles
that Jeff is gonna die.
Number 33: Peter B Parker is wearing slippers that says "Cool Dad".
Number 34: When Miguel O'Hara explains Canon Events to Miles, he shows us the tree of the
multiverse.
Which looks exactly like the sacred timeline shown in Loki Season 1 Episode 6.
And yes it was an intentional move from the animation team to connect this movie to the
MCU.
But these are not hidden details, the fact that we've seen Tobey or Andrew are not hidden,
so lemme give you one detail here that you haven't noticed before!
Miguel says there are some common chapters in every Spider-Man's life that are either
good, bad or very bad!
Now notice when he mentions the bad chapters, Miguel is looking at this particular Canon
event where 3 different Eddie Brocks and 3 different Peter Parkers are getting possessed
by the Venom symbiote.
This implies that Miguel considers the creation of Venom as an essential part of the Spider-Man
canon.
That means we can no longer blame any Peter Parker for succumbing to the powers of Venom,
as it is now acknowledged as a significant and unavoidable event within their collective
stories.
Number 35: Miguel then mentions Event ASM 90 aka Amazing Spider-Man number 90 where
Captain Stacy dies while saving a kid.
Now notice the animators have replicated the exact image from the comic panels.
Number 36: When Miguel explains how he was the first one to break a Canon event, the
animators visually show us how it happened.
There we see his daughter along with all living beings glitch out of existence.
Now, many believe that Miguel only sought Peter B. Parker's assistance in saving their
universe But if you notice very carefully, Miguel brought
a lot of other Spider-People as well to help him prevent the widespread glitching.
Meaning, a lot of Spider-Man variants possess firsthand knowledge of what could happen if
a Canon event is disrupted.
And that's why they're so loyal to Miguel O'Hara which enabled him to form the Spider-Society
in the first place.
Because they're not just trusting his words blindly, they've seen the destructive repercussions
that can arise from tampering with Canon events.
And that's it, this would be my Part 2 breakdown of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
Coming up next is Part 3 where the hidden details I found are absolutely bonkers!
But yes, please give me a week before I put that video out, as I plan on going to the
theaters 2 more times to find more hidden details for Part 3.
