Looking at the pleasures of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and pitfalls of "The Flash" to explore the multiverse narrative's relationship to nostalgia.
A few weeks ago, I joked that Spider-Verse will be E.T. and Flash will be remembered as the Mac and Me to this trend. I didn’t know how right I would be.
Why did they do Kara sooooooo dirty when Sasha Calle seemed up for the challenge? Curious if you think "Past Lives" makes better use of the Multiverse without the superhero setting!
I too worry that the wrong lessons will be learnt from the Spider-Verse films, studios will just seek to copy the “spider-verse look” for otherwise rote offerings. Beyond “Beyond the Spider-Verse”, I wonder and hope that this talented crew will get the chance to make something not related to existing IP.

Darn it, I was going to write something on this and now I don't have to because you, as always, made the ultimate statement. Well done.
