The Spiderverse movies don’t look like comic books.

r/

I’m a big fan of the Spiderverse movies and I think they’re aesthetically perfect but I’ve never really got the whole, “if you pause the movie on any frame it looks straight from a comic book.” I get that they used things like Ben Day dots, cross hatching and comic bubbles as a way to reference the comic art style and I think they’re wonderfully implemented but when I actually watch the movies they just look like animated movies to me with those things being relatively unnoticeable details.

    They probably look like animated movies and not comic books to you because… they’re animated movies and not comic books.

    They look more like comic books than any other major studio blockbuster comic book movie. They give a certain feel/vibe that is inherently comic booky. But it has to be translated into a different medium, because well, because movies are a different medium.

    But a movie is usually going to feel the most like a movie, and a comic book is usually going to feel the most like a comic book. The people you hear saying this aren’t wrong necessarily. They’re just probably being a little reductive in how they express what they mean.

    Honestly, the Kirby Dots being on something moving mixed with the crazy multiverse lights kinda hurts my eyes.

    Next you’re going to tell me that the video games don’t really make me FEEL like Spiderman. False advertising from all the reviewers out there. Sue them all!
