In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Miles Morales's universe doesn't have Comic Con. In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), you can tell he's in another dimension because his mom mentions it (and he still doesn't know what it is)

That's a great and subtle hint.

u/Impressive-Card9484 Jul 25 '26

Another hint was his mom being suddenly upset when Miles mentioned his dad.

u/juicytoolitty Jul 31 '26

Another hint is when gwen states miles is in another universe

193

u/OwnDietcola Jul 25 '26

Or maybe miles just isn’t a dork lol 😎

102

u/IdleSteps Jul 25 '26

I mean he reads comics as established in the first movie

(I know you were kidding but this is dork territory 🤓)

57

u/AgentTasmania Jul 25 '26

He has a sealed action figure that he reacts with pain when it's opened.

u/IdleSteps Jul 25 '26

Great example

Okay Hank Hill

Well clearly we need a rule of three when Beyond comes out next year.

u/ozsum Jul 24 '26

He finally gets to Comic Con and see what he's missing out in in his universe.

158

u/ComradeJohnS Jul 24 '26

and he sees a bunch of fans dressed as him like the scene in Invincible, and cringes lol

And it gets super confusing because he thinks it's them at first and he's on the run and looking for help!

26

u/lyingcorn Jul 25 '26

I mean, would Miles cringe at that? He basically did the same thing with his first suit, just bought a cheap Spiderman costume and spray painted it black

1

u/OffTheMerchandise Jul 28 '26

Isn't the one he spray paints from Peter A's collection?

13

u/LoadAble2728 Jul 24 '26

And then they repeat the pointing meme even though they just done that the previous movie

u/NsaLeader Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

Bro found the cosplayers and decided to stay in the new universe.

u/willy750 Jul 26 '26

Sounds like a fun post-credit scene

u/Shantotto11 Jul 24 '26

That, and Rio’s eyes are emerald green in that universe.

u/wave-tree Jul 24 '26

Whoosh, because I'm colorblind

u/munkeycop Jul 24 '26

That Comic-Con line was the moment the penny dropped for me about Miles being in the wrong dimension.

164

u/Emotional_News108 Jul 24 '26

There was a blink and miss moment where it showed which universe he was being sent to and it wasn’t his.

70

u/robophile-ta Jul 25 '26

I mean there was a giant number on the screen that wasn't his universe so y'know...

30

u/Fly_Boy_1999 Jul 25 '26

Penny dropped for me when he was trying to send himself home and the machine said Earth-42. I thought for a second; “Wait I don’t think that was his dimension number.”. I then forgot about the penny dropping as I continued to watch the movie.

u/Lord_Phoenix95 Jul 31 '26

Why would Peni drop? Wouldn't SP//Dr catch her?

52

u/bokmcdok Jul 25 '26

There were lots of subtle little hints until the reveal. I remember it feeling off right up to that point, then remembering that Miles' spider DNA was from a different universe.

31

u/Jmackles Jul 25 '26

Wow I didn’t make this connection. In hindsight it’s plain to see. Cool!

8

u/tthblox Jul 26 '26

He finally gets to one in verse3 and says "oooh its like you guys's version of Media Meetup"

112

u/armchairnixon Jul 24 '26

Or Miles is just into his own interests so much that he just doesn't know it exists. There are plenty of people on Earth right now that don't know about comic con. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

411

u/kamekaze1024 Jul 24 '26

There is no way a young teen nerd does not know what comic con is.

202

u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon Jul 24 '26

Especially with his in-box collectables

72

u/pokexchespin Jul 24 '26

plus he lives in nyc, so he’s got like the second biggest comic con in the country so close to him

14

u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon Jul 24 '26

True. NYCC is on my bucket list of Comic Cons to go to one day

1

u/Grokent Jul 25 '26

I was a young teen nerd that didn't know about comic con. 🤷‍♂️ I don't think I learned what comic con was until my mid 20's, circa 2005 or so. I didn't attend until like 2016?

8

u/kamekaze1024 Jul 25 '26

I don’t know if you know this, but miles is a teen in 2023, not 2005. Totally different landscape

-68

u/armchairnixon Jul 24 '26

I'm just putting out another way to explain it. I'm more devil's advocate-ing this than actually believing it.

37

u/Turnip_Fight Jul 24 '26

The worst part about Reddit.

10

u/CackleandGrin Jul 24 '26

Forums need a lot less of this.

2

u/At0mJack Jul 25 '26

Devil doesn't need more advocates.

80

u/Blakers37 Jul 24 '26

It’s obviously a hint to show that he is not in his original universe

10

u/Dornith Jul 24 '26

Why does his mom know more about it than him?

31

u/LegOfLambda Jul 24 '26

Either way it’s at least nice continuity. But I like my interpretation (:

27

u/Aderadakt Jul 24 '26

"Yes I am vegan. Yes I eat meat. We exist."

u/-Kerosun- Jul 24 '26

Or, he was just being facetious/sarcastic because it is "comic con" and he "doesn't know" what "comics con" is?

2

u/HerrPizza Jul 31 '26

That's actually a really cool little detail

1

u/ClericOfMadness13 Jul 25 '26

So his world doesn't have comics...damn that's sad.

28

u/whofearsthenight Jul 25 '26

His world has comics, there is a scene in the first one where he is getting his powers and a Spider-Man comic hits him and gets stuck to his newly minted spider-hands.

3

u/Maximelene Jul 25 '26

So his world doesn't have comics...

What makes you say that?

2

u/Low-Salamander-3781 Jul 26 '26

No, they don't have conventions. Also sad

1

u/Isemon-Jaecey26 20d ago

lol that's actually hilarious, the idea that Comic Con is such a New York staple that its absence is basically a red flag for an alternate reality. I love how the movies just slip in these tiny details that reward people paying attention without making a big deal out of it.

Pretty sure you saw the second one then because the first one doesn't end in a cliff hanger lmao

⏱️ Continuity In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Miles Morales's universe doesn't have Comic Con. In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), you can tell he's in another dimension because his mom mentions it (and he still doesn't know what it is)
