SephG Superlative: The greatest superhero movie ever made

Well, here you have it: Into the Spider-verse is pretty easily the best superhero/comic book adaptation I have ever seen. This is also the first movie that I really think recreates that comic book tone to a tee. It's smart, self-aware, and funny without taking away from any of the action or drama.

Into the Spider-verse brilliantly weaves this self-awareness into the overall theme--and even the animation--of the movie. They know why kids like superheroes and comics. They like to imagine themselves as the heroes, no matter who they are or what environment they're in. So by having an infinite amount of Spidermen in infinite universes, there's a hero for everyone (and for every art style!). I've never seen anything like this before, and it's incredibly refreshing in this age of superhero glut.
