Into the Spider-verse possesses incredibly unique and imaginative animation that is a perfect blend of so many different styles that it creates something fresh. Though I think what elevates it above its peers is just how much it feels like a comic book.
While some people would point to other films such as Superman and the Avengers and refer to them as comic book movies, they lack any elements from the medium. Remember, Comic books are not restricted to only superhero stories. They can tell whatever story the author wants.
Into the Spider-verse cements itself as a comic book movie by bringing in elements from the medium. The most obvious being the thought boxes and onomatopoeias though the details go beyond just that. Background Characters are animated with much less detail because that's what you do in a comic book. The designs of each Spidey costume and some Spidey people have this comic booky feel to it due to both the poppy colours and 2d feel to it. Motion moves like a stop motion without ever feeling choppy or rough. Instead, it comes off like each frame is its own panel in a comic with us having to imagine the in betweens. Anyone who's read a comic book knows what I'm talking about, half the fun comes not from looking at what is drawn but imagining what isn't.
Though what really makes this is a comic book movie is that there are certain scenes where if you pause it and ask a person who hasn't heard of spider-verse, if you can find them, is said frame from a comic book/still piece of art or animation, I bet quiet a few would say the former.
It's hard to put what I've noticed into words though if you read comic books a lot, I'm sure you can see just how heavily into the spider-verse takes elements from said medium.
MJ didn’t just groom these kids, he groomed an entire culture. We’re taught to believe that our idols and heroes can do no wrong and anyone who accuse them of anything regardless of the evidence are both evil and liars. Celebrities might as well be cult leaders with how their fans seem to worship. If we want to stop another MJ or R Kelly, we need to change as a culture and destroy this cult of personality we have on celebrities. Want to know why celebrities can get away with abusing others for so long? Because we the fans allow it, we’re willing to attack innocent victims so that powerful monsters won’t get hurt. Stop treating celebrities like gods and start treating them like people.
Based off of evidence gathered primarily from chapter 2′s pacifist and snowgrave route, this theory states that Noelle accidentally froze Dess to death and Asgore was fired from the force because of it. Throughout each mention of Dess, it is always in past tense. While it is possible that she might of moved away, we are given indication or mention of Dess’s current situation. It is instead through Berdly’s anecdote about how Noelle broke down after being asked to spell December do we learn of Dess’s fate. We already know that Dess is short for December from earlier when we spelt it out with Noelle. Furthermore, we know it can’t be from stress. While Noelle is presented as an anxious individual, she was still able reach the finals and December is not a particularly hard word to spell. Nor can it be due to simply missing Dess in the same way that Kris does with Asriel. Based off of Noelle’s and Birdie’s age as children in the flashback along with the assumption that Dess is around Asriel’s age than Dess should of still been present in her life. So ruling those out and based off the intensity of Noelle’s reaction, Dess must of died sometime before the spelling bee. As to the cause of Dess’s death, I do not believe that Asgore was in anyway directly responsible for it, accident or not. Rudy still holds Asgore in good regards nor is he in prison. Considering that Noelle’s mother is mayor (who we’ll call Carol here) as seen through the similiarities between our various characters mention the two, then if Asgore was directly responsible for Dess’s death than he’ll likely be in prison. So no, Asgore has nothing to do with Dess’s death. It was Noelle who was the one who killed Dess due to stress triggering her ice magic. When we check out the frozen aisle section at Sans’s grocery store, we learn that Noelle would often stare blankly into the frozen aisle section. Then, if you play the Snowgrave route, the several instances in which Noelle uses her ice magic on a strong scale such as with the puzzles, the shopkeeper and finally Berdly, it always triggers due to some sort of stress and involves her blacking out during it. While we know that magic isn’t as prevalent among monsters as it is Undertale, we know it still has to exist in some manner due to Catti mentioning how she was doing research on occult stuff and magic at the diner. Noelle’s magic in the light world likely isn’t as strong as it is in the Dark World but it still would of been enough to kill someone especially during winter. Noelle likely killed Dess when a stressful situation triggered her ice magic. The exact cause is difficult to assume. However, based of Dess’s desire to leave for the big city and how their mother can be hard, I believe that Dess tried running away and Noelle ended up tagging along. The two quickly became lost during which the fear and stress that Noelle would of been experiencing triggered her ice magic and blacking out. Carol, not knowing where her daughters are and with an unexpected snowstorm, orders Chief Asgore to send a search party for them only to instead find Dess’s body and Noelle unconscious in the snow. Carol, blaming Asgore for failing to find Dess in time, forces the Police to remove him leading to a rookie Undyne to suddenly being given the position of Chief. Asgore also blaming himself would end up cutting ties with Rudy unable to confront him due to his guilt and is likely one of the factors which lead to his and Toriel’s divorce. Noelle meanwhile would of have no recollection of the event instead believing everyone else that Dess froze to death thus also developing a trigger for extreme cold. So in short, Noelle accidentally killed her sister with ice magic and Asgore instead takes the blame for failing to find them in time.
I really wish y'all wait till you actually read the epilogue rather than ranting about leaks, untranslated pages, and shitty translations before complaining. Stop basing your opinions on BNHA solely through leaks. You want to complain about MHA's ending? Fine, go ahead, but do so after you actually read it. I swear to Fuck, it feels like half of y'all don't even read the Manga and just base your opinion off what others say online.
Calling your state and local politicians is a better tactic than emails; phone calls are more difficult to ignore plus you'll have a better impact compared to written words. During the call, make it clear that unless they're willing to protect net neutrality, you will not vote for them during next elections. If a bunch of politicians feel they might lose the elections over net neutrality, they might pressure the government as well.
As for raising awareness, while Blogs, YouTube videos, Reddit and Facebook posts are helpful, there are people out, older folks, who don't use the internet. As such, it is important to be willing to raise awareness in person either one on one or with others.
The library analogy is a good explanation on net neutrality and its importance.
So imagine you head to the library to burrow some books for a biology assignment. The librarian let's you take out any books you want without delay or extra cost, regardless of her opinions. This what net neutrality looks like essentially.
Now imagine you head back there again for your assignment and there a new librarian. She only lets you take out books she approves of and stops or significantly delays you from taking out the books she doesn't like. But wait, if you pay her $20 bucks, she'll let you take out those unapproved biology books right away. Now you don't have $20, so you decide to go to a different library than you remember this is the only library in town. So in the end you fail because you couldn't take out the books you needed. This is what happens when you get rid of net neutrality.
and you haven’t done anything to fight for net neutrality, now is the time! We only have 5 days left to stop the government and the FFC. Please call and email people or else blogs like mine and many more will dissapear… Applying for jobs will be harder… Schools and libraries will be at harm… Globalization will be compromised in general, so please take the time to do something.
