The 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse shouldn't exist. It goes against everything we expect from superhero movies and the big studio system behind them. It's animated when the rest are live-action. It's about Miles Morales, instead of Peter Parker. It also has not one Spider-Man, but seven of them (two of which are Peter Parker, though he's a supporting character at best). It doesn't pull inspiration from a classic Spider-Man story, but rather one of the most complex and goofy ones, in which Spider-Man works with all of the other Spider-People from other Marvel Earths.

It uses its weirdness to tell a satisfying story about responsibility, family, and self-confidence that works as well as, or better than, every Spider-Man movie to come before it.

On a $90 million budget, Spider-Verse raked in $384 million. It also sits atop the other Spider-flicks among critics with a 97% fresh rating, higher than any other Spider-Man movie.
