SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE: An Important Line of Dialogue is Missing From The Home Release Version

Now available for home release, fans have been noticing small changes made from the theatrical version of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, including a very powerful Miles Morales moment

Since Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse was made available for home release, fans who saw the film theatrically have been notcing a modicum of differences between both versions.

It turns out that Sony removed small bits of dialogue for the home release copy of Across The Spider-Verse, and while whatever they have removed is not too significant in tellin the story of the film, one line of the dialogue they did not include was what Miles Morales says to Miguel O'Hara in the climax of their fight.

As Miguel O'Hara has Miles pinned down, Miles monologues briefly explaining to O'Hara and the audience that his life is his own story, and he won't let anybody stand in his way in how he tells - referring to his efforts of saving his father from the inevitable canon event.

“Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go. Nah, I’mma do my own thing.”

After Miles says this line, he begins charging up his bio-electricity powers to free himself from Miguels grasp - but before he does, his last exchange to O'Hara is "Sorry man. I'm going home."

In the home release version of the film, Miles ends his encounter with Miguel by saying "Nah, I'mma do my own thing."

Why is this the line "Sorry man. I'm going home," so important?

To start off, the line itself was spoken right before a very cool Miles Morales moment, which made fans root for the character to return home even more so.

Secondly, Miles reciting this line reminds us how Miles is extremely keen on returning home to save his father, and being the last words Miguel hears from Miles before he potentially goes back home to screw everything up only serves to fuel his anger and resentment toward him even more.

Finally, Miles saying "Sorry man. I'm going home," hints at the last-minute switcheroo where Miles does not end up going back to his dimension, but rather, one where he is The Prowler.

Have you been notcing any other changes between the theatrical and home release version of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse?

After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. However, when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders. He must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

Shameik Moore voices Miles, starring alongside Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Shea Whigham, Greta Lee, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali and Oscar Isaac.

@PlusUltra - I've actually had the same experience. I never saw any version of the movie other than the one considered home release canon and I saw it three times in three different theaters.

An important line of dialogue *is missing from the home release version.

@MarkCassidy - He was actually correct to leave out "is". When writing headlines, you should generally leave out auxiliary verbs like "is" or "have". "New laws have been decided by Supreme Court" is not as correct as "New laws decided by Supreme Court".

Every change I've seen so far in the digital release is the exact movie I saw in theaters.

“Sorry man, I’m going home” could also be interpreted as not being against the other Spider-Men, but that he is willing to do anything to protect his family.

I did get that line when I went to the movie. It’s pretty bizarre that there were different versions. Specially that it’s supposed to be due to not being able to finish the movie properly.

I got "Imma do my own thing"

This film doesn't get old. But still like the first one better.

I had both lines on my first viewing and it felt like putting a hat on a hat. I'm actually okay with them cutting the second line and keeping the more impactful (if somewhat less polite) line.

"I'mma do my own thing" felt like such a mic drop, and honestly it's THE line of the film to me. I'm glad they let it stand on its own without the next line undercutting it.

I wish they hadnt left out that line. Also, there are a few other changes I would have made for the home release. Maybe dont show on the screen that he's been sent to Earth 42. It affects the twist. Miguel and team going to Earth 1610 didnt make sense either, cause Miguel knew Miles was bitten by an interdimensional spider. Even if he hadnt known which dimension, the machine showed which earth Miles was sent to. There's the rooftop party scene, where Miles' costume under his shirt keeps appearing and disappearing between frames. The ending with Miles G Morales. In the closeups the third fin on his collar is gone.

I legit dont remember how it played in theathers, but "I'mma do my own thing" is the best possible way to end that confrontation.

Btw, I read they deleted another piece of dialogue which IS important, that is when Gwen pretty much tells Miles he has to let indian Captain Stacy die...if true, that goes against the very point of the movie.
