SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE's Ending Has Undergone Some Noteworthy Changes For Digital Release

With Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse now available on Digital platforms, fans have noticed the ending has undergone some significant changes compared to the version we saw in theaters this past June.

We recently broke down many of the changes made to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in its Digital release. However, for those of you who have sat down to rewatch the hit animated sequel, there might be something about the big twist ending which now feels a little different. 

In the movie, Miles Morales inadvertently finds himself on Earth-42, the reality which the spider bit him originally hailed from. There, his father has died and his uncle isn't Prowler...he is. With Miles face-to-face with his alternate-reality counterpart, we were left with a major cliffhanger that's obviously going to be addressed in the currently undated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

As we first reported on Toonado.com, while the ending itself remains largely the same, Earth-1610's Miles now has fewer lines and the text boxes which popped up on screen to accompany his thoughts are nowhere to be seen. 

Instead, we hear Miguel O'Hara's previous comments - "The spider that gave you your powers wasn’t from your dimension" - echo in the wall-crawler's head. That moment helps get across the fact the teenager is stranded in the wrong reality.

Why have these edits been made? Well, the twist is now a little harder to telegraph in those final few minutes, so that's likely the driving force behind the decision. There's also a chance the text boxes were meant as a stylistic decision for Earth-42 which has since been altered as Beyond the Spider-Verse continues taking shape. 

"There was an international version that was made almost two months before the movie came out because it had to be translated into different languages and these French censors have to decide what the rating of the movie is in Europe," producer Chris Miller recently said of the changes. "The team at [Sony Pictures] Imageworks still had some shots that they felt they could do better for the finished version."

"So, they cleaned up and tweaked those things." Lord, meanwhile, added: "It was trying to make the best possible version that everyone was going to be the proudest of. I think most of the changes are improvements."

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now available on Digital and hits Blu-ray on September 5.

Can’t wait to check this out. Loved the first one. Did they do Ben Reilly dirty or was that just overblown?

@bobevanz - death in the family. Then my wife got injured. Then my dog needed surgery. Had to replace a retaining wall in my yard. Long story short, Spiderverse wasn't a priority.

@cyclopsprime - I know, but this isn't like the usual : taking one article from another website and splitting in 3 or more articles.

This is just the same subject, the same quotes. I swear it might be the third one I read and it doesn't have any new information to offer.

What the [frick].

Finally watched it a few nights ago and it’s absolutely incredible as was expected. I also just recently got the Nanoleaf 4D light strip setup that works similar to the HDMI sync on Phillips Hue but using a camera instead and it made the experience so much better. Had the color of the movie extended from my 65inch TV to the whole wall behind it and it really added a whole new level of immersion to an already stellar film

@Ha1frican - uh.. are you selling it or something?

@Razorface1 - Thinking something is cool and talking about it doesn’t mean you’re selling it, if that were the case we’d all work for Marvel and DC lol

@Comicmoviejunki - I’ll have my own opinions soon. Not expecting to like it, but after a nice joint and some whisky I’m sure I can at least finish it.

Having watched the Greek dubbed version in theatres upon release, the version that is reported here to be the final one for digital release is the same one we watched theatrically as well.
