The kinetic imagery of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse feels like a natural 21st century evolution of the 20th century comic book — something as far beyond Snow White as a lunar lander is from a biplane.
Clearly someone has actually been thinking about what it would be like to have Spidey’s powers — for example, might you have a casual conversation while sitting around upside down?
The adventure element is a given, but this film contains a good deal more effective understated drama than a movie like The Flash, which is filled with “real people.”
How ironic, as they used to say in the comic books.
But all these multiverses and mirror images, oh my… Can the multi-multiverse be far behind?
