      I had no idea going into spider-verse that it was only a part one. Left me really disappointed when we hit the end with no payoff. Reminded me of Halo 2

        Yeah, same here. Then I read that part 2 was delayed longer than expected because of the strikes and it was even worse.

      Yeah, that thing is such a visual masterpiece, mindblowing. I wish they both could have gotten it, while I personally did not like Boy and the Heron too much I think Miyazaki does deserve an Oscar.

      Honestly more in shambles Spider-Verse wasn’t nominated for Best Picture. I don’t think anything in the best picture category had better cinematography (is it still called that for animated films?), editing, or directing.

      Also the weird dichotomy between unavoidable fate and accidental existence really set up an interesting world and conflict.

      In recent years it definitely feels like they are less willing to look outside a specific type of movie.
