FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Granted my first impressions took place at work in the afterschool room rather than movie night, but honestly I was initially peturbed by the animation style. There wasn't anything actively wrong with it; it was just so new and different to me that I instinctively stuck my nose up at it. But because I was forced to watch it with a bunch of 5-10 year olds who were adamant that they were going to watch it, I actually found myself enchanted by the different animation! The story itself was so touching and honestly was just as empowering as people give it credit for, especially when I was watching children from all different backgrounds saying "I'm going to dress up like Miles/Spider-Gwen/etc." for Halloween while watching it.
FAVORITE SPIDEY-PERSON:
Miles, definitely! He was just such a relatable and well-written character and turned a lot of the traditional Spider-Man tropes on their heads.
FAVORITE PART:
When Miles figures out who his uncle was right at the end of the battle sequence only to have to watch him—spoiler alert—die moments later for choosing his nephew's life over his villainy. It was touching and sad and I cried at work and while re-watching last night.
