A Collider article revisits Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the 2018 Sony animated film, arguing it remains the finest superhero movie ever made as it finds a new audience on Netflix. The piece notes the film introduced Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) to cinema audiences without displacing Tom Holland's Peter Parker in the MCU, and credits its acclaimed animation style and faithful adaptation of long-requested comic characters for its lasting reputation.

The article recaps the plot, in which Miles is bitten by a spider and gains powers similar to Peter Parker's, then witnesses the death of his universe's Peter Parker (voiced by Chris Pine) before being pulled into the multiverse alongside other Spider-people, including Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson). It highlights how the film grounds Miles's story in his mixed heritage and Brooklyn upbringing, and draws a thematic link to Marvel's current comic run, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, suggesting both share the same core values of selflessness and empathy associated with the character.
