And it allows us to have a pretty interesting Spider Man in Miles WITHOUT thrashing or having a Peter Parker like experience. and an origin without boring us to tears like Zack Snyder has done in the DC universe. This feels as if they took comic books and Playstation animation and just came up with this perfect look. I've seen practically all super hero films to include the DC animated ones. It as if the comic book leaped off the pages. Let me just say the the stylished animation is just top notch. But where soundtrack tunes so often indulge in the audio-production equivalent of pyrotechnics, some of Spider-Verse’s best songs triumph for the exact opposite reason-Vince Staples’ closer, “Home,” and Swae Lee and Post Malone’s “Sunflower” ride the lowest of lo-fi beats to really let their lyrics shine.Have you ever sat through a film and you knew that films would never be the same going forward? For example, Terminator 2, Star Wars.

And Nicki Minaj turns up the patois over Caribbean vibes on “Familia”-a rare song that directly references the film-alongside verses from Puerto Rican trap artist Anuel AA and Zimbabwean singer Bantu. Lil Wayne and Juice WRLD each offer introspective tracks (the former featuring a surprise appearance from the late XXXTENTACION) that use literal darkness as a metaphor for emotional pain. LA MC DUCKWRTH’s “Start a Riot” is a jump-up-on-the-table party-rap rager. While these songs were written for the movie, they often don’t sound like movie songs in the conventional sense. So it makes sense that the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse-which features multiple cross-racial, cross-gender, cross-generational, cross-dimensional characters with Spidey powers-has a soundtrack that really upends the franchise’s own long-established aesthetic and cultural awareness. But surveying it 16 years later, there was something awfully homogenous about its lineup: Sum 41, Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, Theory of a Deadman, Aerosmith, Pete Yorn. There was nothing necessarily wrong with the soundtrack to 2002’s Tobey Maguire-starring Spider-Man.
