Mile\u2019s story is an origin, sharing similar traits to the Spider-Man origin: being bitten by a radioactive spider, losing an uncle, making up for a past failure, etc. But the film tells the story in such a unique and artistic way that it feels like hearing the story for the very first time.&#8217;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemablography.org\/blog\/comic-book-storytelling-in-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse#:~:text=But%20the%20film%20tells%20the,things%20through%20a%20different%20perspective.\">Comic Book Storytelling in Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse &#8211; Cinemablography<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The pacing of the film doesn&#8217;t feel rushed, and everything feels in place, too, so I can&#8217;t think of anything it could improve on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-background-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-5 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What visual styles inspired the game&#8217;s art direction?<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8216;By showcasing the various Spider-Men and Women in different art styles, it serves two purposes. One, it reflects Miles\u2019 journey of self-discovery, seeing as he spray paints a Spider-Man costume to reflect his own style, mirroring his earlier graffiti art. Miles adopts a hip hop graffiti aesthetic, finally coming into his own as Spider-Man of his universe. But this diverse mixing pot of styles reflects the diverse art styles and stories that comic books, animation, and film can accomplish. Very few comic books in the market look alike, ranging from cartoony to realistic to impressionistic to retro, and so much more. By each of these styles being put in a mixing pot, it celebrates the diversity and potential refreshment that new styles can bring.&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemablography.org\/blog\/comic-book-storytelling-in-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse#:~:text=But%20the%20film%20tells%20the,things%20through%20a%20different%20perspective.\">Comic Book Storytelling in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse &#8211; Cinemablography<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The colouring within the film is so mesmerizing, with various colour palettes, unique environmental art.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I also like how each colour palette suits different Spiderman \/ Spiderwoman personalities and universes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-background-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-6 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What aspects of the movie might I want players to find in my game?<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8216;It represents the possibilities of looking at things through a different perspective. By bringing in comic book storytelling that allows for diverse design, and characters that serves those characters and these stories, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse brilliantly marries animation and comic book storytelling to create a Spider-Man film unlike any other. And when there have already been so many Spider-Mans in live action and animated shows, that\u2019s saying something.&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemablography.org\/blog\/comic-book-storytelling-in-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse#:~:text=But%20the%20film%20tells%20the,things%20through%20a%20different%20perspective.\">Comic Book Storytelling in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse &#8211; Cinemablography<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I want every player to find my game to be as emotionally impactful as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, I want them to find it satisfying, timeless, and something they can return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friedell, B.
