I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

"Paging Mr. Herman...Mr. Herman...you have a telephone call at the front desk."

something minor i noticed in “the spider within”

so they dropped a new spiderverse short, and after like the 5th watch i noticed smth interesting

you’ll notice the bed, miles, and the spider within are animated on twos (which means theres a new drawing on every other frame) while everything else around him is animated on ones.

some of the broken pieces of the bed so start being animated on ones, assumedly to make it smoother, but miles and the spider within all remain on twos as miles is pushed out of his room.

this was a technique they used during into the spiderverse as well. when miles is learning how to be spiderman, he’s animated on twos while peter is animated on ones to represent the gap in their skill levels and also the difference in their universes. you can also see this technique used on a couple other spiderpeople in that movie. it creates an effect where you can just tell how unnatural their movements look in the world around them—even if you can’t quite pinpoint why—because they aren’t in the right universe. applying that idea to this scene, it shows miles’ disconnect from the world around him, from reality itself. we already know that what he was seeing and doing wasn’t real, since his dad didn’t react to any of the screaming or panicked crawling despite being a very alert person (demonstrated when he jumps at miles opening the door). it’s a very minor but interesting detail that further shows how out of touch with reality miles is as a result of his stress and trauma.

Obi-Wan: I mean… I guess :/

Cody: …bitch I just asked you to marry me???

Obi-Wan: Yeah, but see, Ohnaka said he’d lick my sweat off the sidewalk for the honor to taste me and this just isn’t the same standard as that.

Cody: You know what? Okay. I mean. That would get me too. He’s a smooth talker.

Obi-Wan: We can keep him around for the compliments?

Cody: Yeah. I like that option. Kk, cool.

no promise of heaven will make me march with my final breath I deny the church

I hope this new age of animation violently drowns out the forced desaturation and "simple" designs of every major company looking to turn animation into a cash grab

The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story

See I honestly do find the prequels-era Jedi an interesting (and at times painfully recognizable) portrait of institutional violence in that...they aren't cackling villains. They're mostly sympathetic well-intentioned individuals who via a combo of traditionalist inertia, ideological blinders, proximity to power, a dash of plain old arrogance and a liberal seasoning of end-justifies-the-means compromise end up being at best indifferent to and at worst deeply complicit in some pretty heinous injustice. I don't even think this is a completely against-the-grain reading on my part. At the end of the day it's a pretty mild critique, but it's hard to argue that the PT is entirely uncritical of the Jedi imo.

Unfortunately the narrative is never interested in really sinking its teeth into that. And even more unfortunately, a chunk of the fandom will clutch its pearls in horrified outrage if anybody else is interested in sinking their teeth into that
