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.
