Just rewatched Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. It's still the masterpiece I remember it being. It's by far the best animated movie I've ever seen, one of my favorite movies of all time and the score is also absolutely amazing.
And it's also a movie that will forever be important to me. Because when I came out of the theater when I first saw it, something just felt different. I couldn't put it into words at the time, but looking back, I keep coming back to this moment as a pivotal moment in what was about to happen in my life.
I felt something different, something huge that took all space in my mind without ever telling it's name... I kept thinking about that movie for weeks and I kept thinking about this thing that I was feeling, without being able to properly understand what it was, this painful but oh so joyful gut feeling I've been having since that day.
It gave a big jolt of energy to something within me, something that's was slowly waking up for a few years now but that was definitely awake now, something that I willingly tried to put down all of my life...
...anyway. 10/10, this movie helped me accept that I was trans.
(something that I knew for sure since I was around 11 but hey, denial is one hell of a drug.)

I gotta say, rewatching this movie with the idea that it can be seen as being a trans allegory sure hits a lot different. For me, it's perfect. Whether this movie is actually about this or not doesn't change of thing the fact of the matter is : I heard it. And that's the beauty of art, isn't it?
In the end, Across The Spider-Verse is about being who you are, no matter what, because it isn't something you can control. You have no other choice then to be who you are. You can be a superhero, just like you can be a trans girl. The fact is : This is what you are, you don't shape it, it shapes you.
Being who they are is putting on a mask. And being me meant dropping mine.
This truth about being me would've come out one way or another, it was already way on it's way, but this movie gave it a massive kick it. And because of that, it will forever be one of my all time favorites. #movie#trans#SpiderMan#AcrossTheSpiderVerse#transfem#transgender
I finally watched Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse last week, after getting the UHD bluray in the mail. What an awesome movie. The amount of emotions that can put in an animated character's face plus the very, very good score was astounding.
I really wasn't expecting to like it even more than the first one, but I did.
Also, I enjoy pretty much every one of Hobie's lines.
Wait, vous êtes en train de me dire que c’était pas pas le dernier film ? #AcrossTheSpiderVerse J’avoue je suis fan mais si l’histoire traîne trop, ça va devenir de plus en plus compliquer de rester excité à chaque sorties
i know the physical media release isn't for another week but I just finished another watch of #AcrossTheSpiderVerse and have decided to launch @SpiderVerseHour today.
Posts will be tagged with spoiler/cw to help avoid spoilers as much as it can, but it's choosing a random second every hour and grabbing a frame from that time code... so obviously there will be spoilers.
I will probably be boosting some of them as well, so warning on that side too.
But if you haven't seen the best #SpiderMan movie ever yet... get on that now.
9yo asked about insurance. I explained policy holders are like different versions of you across the multiverse who've agreed to share money with the unlucky versions. Thank you #AcrossTheSpiderVerse for enabling this explanation.
Also, an insurance company’s cut makes more sense when you consider the cost of traveling between parallel worlds.
And don't forget, loans are time travel—future you sending money back in time! Savings accounts too, but sending stuff to the future isn’t as exciting.
Like the first one, Across the Spider-Verse is a technical and creative marvel that shouldn’t be possible. It is a mixed media piece that dances with color, sound, light, culture and even language like they are synchronized swimmers. Every single frame could be printed and framed. #AcrossTheSpiderverse
I watched #Nimona last night. The only thing stopping me from calling it the best animated film of the year is that I already saw #AcrossTheSpiderverse. Vivid #animation and art style, hilarious slapstick and humor, and the best inversion of a fairy tale since Shrek!
It’s a shame #Disney tossed this film aside. I want to see this world in Kingdom Hearts. I want to see Nimona and Ballister as emojis in Emoji Blitz. I want to play as them in Sorcerer’s Arena and Heroes Battle Mode. 😫
100 #Animators quit during filming for #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse, who were required to work 7 days/week, 11 hrs/day to make deadlines. Producers repeatedly required changes to already-animated sequences, making for a whole new "level of craziness."
(Payment for animators is usually by scene. So if you have to remake a mostly completed scene 5 times, your hourly pay is 1/5th of what it originally was.)
#TheFlash is not better than #AcrossTheSpiderverse but it's surpassed my expectations, I think it's worth watching for comedy and action alone despite the terrible CGI (worse than The Arrowverse sometimes)
Apparently there's now two official versions of #SpiderMan: #AcrossTheSpiderverse and the work it took to discover that is impressive, except that it probably required a bootleg disc to allow for multiple, low-speed rewatches, right?
Anyway, I didn't make it back last week, but just bought the first ticket for later today's (Tuesday) discount show on the #RPX screen, again.
