Miles Morales
POST WAVE FILM
The protagonist of Parallel Universe and Vertical Universe is Miles Morales, a 16-year-old Afro-Latino boy.
This character originates from the original comics and first appeared in the 2011 comic book Ultimate Aftermath: Spider-Man No More, Issue 4.

spiderman quantity
POST WAVE FILM
There are 7 Spider-Mans in the parallel universe.
Including: Peter A. Parker (died in battle), Peter B. Parker, Miles, Spider-woman Gwen, Shadow Spider-Man (black and white), Spider-Pig Peter Pork, and two-dimensional female spider Penny. Parker.
According to an interview with the director, there are a total of 280 Spider-Mans in the universe, 95 of whom are named.
In addition to the return of "old spiders" such as Miles, Gwen, Peter B. Parker, and Penny Parker, there are also new characters:
Indian Spider-Man, Punk Spider-Man, Pregnant Spider-Man, Cat Spider-Man, Cowboy Spider-Man, T-Rex Spider-Man, Werewolf Spider-Man, etc., as well as Spider-Man 2099, the founder and leader of the "Spider-Man Alliance".
Spider-Man 2099 appeared in the only Easter egg at the end of the parallel universe.
In addition, when the screenwriter was writing the script, in order to reflect the world view that "Spider-Man can be any ordinary person", he did not create as Spider-Man, but with their names, such as: Miles, Gwen, MiG Er (2099), Jessica (pregnant mother), Pavita (India)...
03
cosmic style
POST WAVE FILM
The vertical and horizontal universe presents the complete style of multiple universes, such as Gwen Universe 65, Miles Universe 1610, Indian Universe 50101, and Alliance Universe 928 (Miguel’s Spider-Man number is 2099, because he comes from 2099 New York, the future form of New York, not a universe number)...
When the crew designed the universe style, they assigned an independent art design team to each universe to make the style of each universe different.
For example, the color blocks of the Gwen universe can change according to the mood, giving it a dreamlike sense of detachment; the Indian universe originates from Indian comics in the 1970s and 1980s, integrating modern modern and mandala religious styles; the punk universe originates from punk culture Camden, the birthplace, focuses on a wild and confusing sense of freedom...
In addition, the style of the villain vulture comes from Leonardo da Vinci's manuscript paintings, and the vulture also appears in Italian from time to time, reflecting Da Vinci's nationality.
04
Joint animation live-action movie
POST WAVE FILM
The "Doctor Strange and Nerds of Universe 199999" mentioned by Miguel refers to the fact that in the live-action movie Spider-Man, the hero did not return, and Dutch Bro caused the multiverse to be damaged. In order to remedy the situation, Doctor Strange had to use the Oblivion Curse to reveal Spider-Man's identity. Forgotten by the public.
In the live-action movie Doctor Strange 2: Mad Universe, one of the multiverses that Doctor Strange travels through is also animated.
There are also many live-action movie linkages, which will be mentioned below.
05
The trigger of the Civil War in the Hundred Spiders was Miles saving Officer Singer from Universe 50101. The source of the civil war was Miles returning to his own universe to save his father Jeff, who was also a police officer.
Singh is the father of Indian Spider-Man's girlfriend, and Gwen's father is also a police officer. In the film, the lives and deaths of these police officers directly affect the stability of the "web" (a multidimensional interwoven universe of humanoid spiders). The setting of the story is that both Singer and Jeff will inevitably die.
In addition, the film also uses a projection to replay the scene in the live-action movie "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" in which Garfield's version of Spider-Man faces the death of Officer Stacey. Stacey is Gwen's father.
In the film, the animated version of Gwen meets Miguel for the first time and asks him if he is a "blackened Garfield." This is because the Garfield version of Spider-Man has lost too much.
06
Break the dimensional wall
POST WAVE FILM
In the parallel universe, American comic style, Japanese comic style, cartoon style, black and white retro style, etc. coexist, breaking the dimensional wall between different painting styles in animation, which is very amazing.
In addition to upgrading this style, Zongheng Universe further breaks the dimensional wall between animation and real people.
In addition to the projection of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the villain Spot also traveled through time to Mrs. Chen’s convenience store. Mrs. Chen appears in two live-action Venom movies. She was briefly the host of Venom and apparently didn't care about the existence of spots.
07
Villains gather
POST WAVE FILM
Miles first entered the headquarters of the Spider-Man Alliance and saw that many of Spider-Man's old enemies were imprisoned in the headquarters, such as Kraven the Hunter, Doctor Octopus, Prowler, etc.
The villains who fought Spider-Man in this movie were Spot and the Vulture.
In addition, the Daily Bugle building appears in the film. The Daily Bugle is a New York newspaper in the Marvel world. It loves to report negative news about Spider-Man. It can be called Spider-Man's professional black man, but... well, Peter Parker is one of the reporters at the Daily Bugle.
08
uncle alan
POST WAVE FILM
From the parallel universe to the vertical and horizontal universe, there have been three Allens.
The first Allen was the Prowler and died saving Miles; the second Allen was the Prowler's collaborator and appeared at the end of the universe, while the Prowler became Miles in another universe.
The third Allen is imprisoned at the Spider-Man League headquarters. He is a completely different image from the other two Allens, and has appeared in the live-action movie Spider-Man Homecoming. He also mentioned his nephew in that movie.
09
Number 42
POST WAVE FILM
The number 42 appears many times in the Zongheng universe. The universe worn by mistake in the film, the spider that bit Miles, Miles' uniform, etc. all have the number 42.
In the classic science fiction novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, an advanced civilization spent 7.5 million years using supercomputers to calculate the ultimate answer to the universe and everything, and finally arrived at the number "42". Therefore, this number has been extended to be interpreted as the most mysterious number in the universe.
The universe also uses this to reflect the film’s pursuit of cosmic philosophy.
10
kissing upside down
POST WAVE FILM
"Kissing upside down" is a classic scene in Spider-Man movies. It first appeared in Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi in 2002.
When Parallel Universe describes Spider-Man's worldview, it is juxtaposed with Spider-Man's many iconic actions, while Vertical Universe once again recreates the aesthetic conception of this scene.
Spider-woman Gwen looked back at Miles' city before leaving Miles and traveling across the universe. What she didn't know was that Miles was hanging upside down in front of her in a transparent form, looking at her lovingly.
Although the two did not kiss, they were obviously "paying homage" to the scene of hanging upside down and kissing.
11
Stereotypes of Indian Spirituality
POST WAVE FILM
Menhattan, where Indian Spider-Man is located, is in crisis due to the invasion of the villain Spot.
During the fight, Spot said that he had embarked on a journey of discovery, and the Indian Spider-Man complained:
You have to come to India to discover yourself? Why do you Westerners always look at us like this?
Later, he cited the movie Eat, Pray, Love, which was adapted from the novel "Girls" by American writer Elizabeth Gilbert. In this story, the heroine Liz (played by Julia Roberts) developed a daily meditation habit when she traveled to India, which is self-knowledge and discovery.
Coincidentally, Maugham also wrote in his masterpiece The Blade that the American pilot Larry went to India for spiritual practice and finally had a profound enlightenment about life during a sunrise in India.
The Indian Spider-Man used this to criticize the stereotype of spots on India as being able to help people with spiritual practice.
12
Zongheng Universe pays tribute to many classics in film history in terms of scenes, atmosphere and other designs.
For example, during the Civil War of the Spiders, Miguel stood on the roof of the building in the rain, with a huge red "Welcome" sign next to him. This scene is similar to when the robot Roy said "Time will eventually be lost in time" in Blade Runner. The atmosphere is similar.
Gwen stood in the rainy city looking at the high-rise buildings in front of her, which was a bit like Ghost in the Shell; Miles and Gwen met at the top of the Empire State Building, which was reminiscent of King Kong in 2005; Miles snatched a certain spider The hero's horse is mixed with a bit of Sergio Leone's western style.
In addition, there are shadows of classic works such as Akira and The Wire in the film.
13
Chinese style
POST WAVE FILM
Compared with the parallel universe, the vertical and horizontal universe involves many Chinese elements.
Before the screening, the film studio released an exclusive poster for the Chinese version, with a style imitating "Havoc in Heaven" to correspond with the Chinese and foreign stories of Sun Wukong and Miles trying to defy fate and change their lives. On the mainland premiere day, the film studio also released a poster for "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" "Horizontal art poster, showing a hundred spiders in the same frame.
In addition, in the scene where Gwen leads Miles through New York, store signs with Chinese characters can also be seen.
14
The image design of Peter Parker in the parallel universe and the vertical and horizontal universe should be based on the appearance of Tobey Maguire.
Versus Universe has paid homage to Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man's live-action movie many times, such as kissing upside down, hanging a police car with spider webs, and Tobey Maguire also appeared when the death of Ben Parker (Uncle Ben) was mentioned in Spider-Man Alliance. Than watching Uncle Ben cry.
15
Stan Lee
POST WAVE FILM
The late Marvel veteran Stan Lee is one of the fixed Easter eggs in Marvel movies.
In the parallel universe, Stan Lee appears as a comic book character, runs a private store of Spider-Man peripherals in the film, and encourages Miles to find a spider suit that "fits" (alluding to the spirit of Spider-Man).
But in the vertical and horizontal universe, Stan Lee did not appear. That doesn't mean he'll be absent.
According to the main creator, Zongheng Universe was originally going to be completed in one part, but later, considering the integrity of the character arc, it was decided to use the Avengers ending model and split it into two parts.
In other words, Stan Lee Easter eggs may appear in the next part.
