Mind-Blowing Revelations: Unveiling the Mind-Bending Multiverse Differences Between 'Across The Spider-Verse' and the MCU

Summary

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduces a different concept of the multiverse compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The multiverse in the Spider-Verse is illustrated as a growing and intertwining tree structure, visually resembling a web.

In contrast to the MCU's multiverse, the Spider-Verse's fragmented reality is isolated from the rest of the multiverse, introducing a distinct dynamic within the franchise.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse writer, Christopher Miller, has revealed the key distinction between the multiverses in Spider-Verse and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on digital platforms, exclusive insights have surfaced, including bonus features such as a deleted scene hinting at Spider-Man 2099's involvement in the third installment. Furthermore, members of the film's production team have begun divulging previously unseen information related to the movie.

Taking to Twitter, Christopher Miller showcased the intricate drawings created by the creative minds behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, aiming to elucidate the complex notion of Canon Events within the Spider-Verse.

The inclusion of the drawings provides a more comprehensive analysis of the mechanics behind the Canon Events and the multiverse within the franchise. These visual representations effectively highlight the contrasting portrayals of the multiverse in both the Spider-Verse and the MCU.

Why Spider-Verse's Multiverse Differences Are Important

The multiverse in the animated Miles Morales franchise differs significantly from the MCU's version. In contrast to the interconnected branches of a traditional multiverse depicted in other franchises, as shown in Miller's drawings, the Spider-Verse movies' multiverse follows a branching tree structure with no intersections.

The MCU's portrayal of the multiverse differs from the content fragment in several ways. Marvel Studios presents the multiverse as a linear concept rather than a tree with branches, as depicted in the Spider-Verse franchise. The Spider-Verse's multiverse, shown through drawings, expands and intertwines with itself, forming a web-like structure. These drawings also illustrate the destruction of Miguel O'Hara's daughter's world, which becomes isolated from the rest of the Spider-Verse's web. The snapped reality, according to the drawings, may still exist but no longer has a connection to the multiverse. This contrasts with the MCU's portrayal of incursions, where two realities collide instead of separating. The introduction of these differences in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse adds excitement and sets the animated movies apart from the MCU's multiverse.
