EDITORIAL: Does Sony Have A Hit On Their Hands With Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse?

Venom isn't the only Spider-Man related thing Sony is cranking out this year. On December 14th, Miles Morales and more will be gracing the big screen in animated form. But will it be a home run?

Recently, we just got a new trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. After seeing it, even the non-convinced should be somewhat intrigued by this film. It just looks downright unique, and utterly fun. Still, Sony isn't known for their successful animated movies.Their resume includes the likes of The Smurfs, Angry Birds The Movie, and The Emoji Movie. Honestly, the best animated movie they've had so far is probably Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Ouch. 

However, there's something about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that seems different. This could be Sony's shiny gem surrounded by a bunch of coal. How exactly?

Well, for starters, it's Spider-Man. Just the name alone will get people in those theater seats. Like mentioned before, this will be the Miles Morales version of Spidey that will take over the story. Although, he won't be alone. Judging from the trailer, he'll be mentored by the original Spider-Man; Peter Parker. Along with him will be Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker and Spider-Ham. Yes, that last one is a real character from the comics. So obviously, this won't just be your average webhead film. 

This will be taking Spider-Man and his characters somewhere we've never quite seen before in theaters. That alone is an interest factor, and if done right, could be a huge hit. 

Another thing that sticks out is the zany but stylish animation. It's 3D animated characters, in a 2D comic book background. The colors and design pieces are almost mesmerizing. Considering it's a cartoon, you have a bit more freedom in how you want to make action scenes. Instead of forcing the audience to believe it's real, you're just pushing the limits on the fantasy. So there's a lot of potential on where this animation will go for the film. 

Last but not least, it simply just looks awesome. The jokes are funny, everything seems well written, and it's creative. Could this all fall flat when it actually comes out? Possibly. However, this could easily be a big win for Sony and Marvel. If it really does well, maybe Sony should focus on making an animated Spider-Man universe, instead of forcing Venom and his amazing friends in our face.

It looks like a lot of fun, but man, that stuttering frame rate is really hard on the eyes! I'm not sure I can sit through that. I've seen smoother animation in Ray Harryhausen movies!

@Edministrator - I ain't paying to watch it, but i'm honestly unable to believe there's a makeout scene between symbiote and eddie... since you've watched it, is it true? or people are just trolling?

@Edministrator - oh don't get me wrong man, i was refeering to a lot of people on social network and the web talking about the movie and a makeout scene with the symbiote, i couldn't wrap my head around that and i was just asking for some confirmation on your regard since you had already watched it. Which Lost Cause cleared out, and somebody posted the scene around here, and i can say it still baffles me jaja, eventho is Michelle Williams in symbiote suit.

If it turns out good then yes, which given by the trailers is up to be. Into the Spider-Verse along with Bumblebee and Mary Poppins ar looking up to be some great Christmas movies imo, you can feel the tons of heart in them which is essential for a great family trip to theathers on christmas day.

It looks really good so hopefully it lives up to expectations. Trailer looks awesome so I'll check it out. This is the kind of stuff Sony should be focusing on now that Marvel is taking care of the live action department.
