I was fooled too for a second.
Anyway, I don't think the divorce is a big deal. Would I have preferred a happily married Peter? Sure. But they can make great dramatic story with divorce too. Now, if they make Peter just a miserable middle aged looser just because of that and is a butt of all jokes? Then I'd have a problem.
Got to see an advance screening in NYC this week with a friend that works at Marvel. Joe Q, Peter David, Tom DeFalco, Larry Hama, and Dan Slott were there (I got to briefly fanboy out with Slott afterward).
SPOILER-FREE COMMENTS:
Folks, there is so much love and care that went into this movie. It's such a love letter to the entire Spider Verse (and its creators!) and has redefined what comic book movies can be. I wanted to climb inside it at points! Can't wait to see it again and talk about it with you all. The hype is absolutely real. You're going to want to see this twice as there's no way your brain can process this level of fun.
I will say that whoever did the trailers and all of the preview clips deserves a huge bonus because this movie is not quite what they showed you (it's somehow better).
It took a weird concept like the multi-verse and not only successfully introduced the premise (and a number of other Spider-characters), but somehow made it seem effortless. My Marvel friend is actually not a comic book fan (more about the movies) and had no problem following everything and loved it.
And the old school/hardcore fans will be moved by how beautifully the Spider-Verse comic world has been translated for the screen. It really has something for everyone, no matter who your favorite Spidey is.
For those that might be concerned, rest assured that it's not a "Peter vs. Miles" thing in terms of whose story this is. This is about Spider-Man, and ***all*** of them are served incredibly well by the script. Enjoy the trailers, but don't go in thinking that you know what you're in for. It's so much more. :-)
If you've made up your mind not to see it because you don't like what you're assuming they're showing you is the actual/full story within the movie, then hey...it's your loss. Me, I'm going to see this a few times in the theater!

That sort of makes me feel better if the marketing tells you one thing and it's another.
I'm telling you, this thing is a work of art on every level: story, script, characters, performances, soundtrack, and of course the stunning visuals (so many Easter Eggs, your head will spin). The creative team has woven a beautiful intricate web. I think it's more than earned all of the advance praise it's getting. It's not just hype, this is something truly special and new.

I'm sorry, but this is complete bullshit. it's a very immature and judgemental view about marriage and divorce.
Some people are harming their children more by not divorcing than they would if they divorced. Claiming people who divorce are cowards is really childish.
Also, people whose life didn't turn around the way they tought it would could rejoice seeing how a hero like spider-man can go through the same problems and still get back up in the end.
You're trying to promote (to use your own words) a twisted view of what marriage and divorce is, because it fits your agenda, but I don't see the creators of this movie using it in that way.
Marriage shouldn't be a prison. If you really think people should live a miserable life because divorce is bad, it's jud sad.
The only thing wrong on this board is you calling people cowards. . Peter Parker would never do that.
Okay, I've read the 27 messages where Miles to go tells us he won't go watch this movie. So I decided that even though going to the theater costs a lot, I will go watch Aquaman and I will bring my son with me to watch Spider-verse.
