The glowing spider never made sense to me.

Judging from the Insomniac version of the costume...I would wager that it is glowing because there is a power core of some sort underneath the chest plating.

But it never seemed to actually do anything special because of it...

I wonder...perhaps it was supposed to be the superhero costume equivalent of those colorful neon lights that people put on race cars.

You know... for all the Animated Spider-Man Series in the 90s gave us in terms of the comic stories it wanted to tell, in particular Venom's origin and his brief time as Black Suit Spider-Man... I was surprised when they revealed that this Peter never knew Gwen Stacy and never even lost Gwen Stacy. Which I kind of was saddened by when I saw that in the series.



When THIS happened and she first appeared I was freaking out I was like "THATS GWEN STACY!!!" but when he had a voiceover monologue that she was someone he didn't even know, I was saddened. Because he was animated to have this look of sadness when she told him who she was. Which I think would have made perfect sense as an Easter Egg to their past. But the voiceover that he has no clue who she is was disheartening. Because I thought ultimately the point of that Universe was that it was a Spider-Man that was basically Tony Stark, so he essentially always won and had the best life. Gwen Stacy never died, they got engaged, the science museum was in his name and he's basically if Peter Parker became Tony Stark successful.

But I do look back on this scene and think it would have worked so much better without the voiceover that Peter doesn't know her, and just left his expression when she said her name. That way those that were familiar with the comic knew, but to a kid that never read them and only knew Spider-Man for this show, it'd go over their head.

There's just no reason for Gwen to have existed when we see so much of Spidey's life in this cartoon and she's never even indirectly mentioned, so having him actually recognize her to the point he may be saddened at seeing her would be a an asspull even for fans who know who Gwen is, all to give fanservice for comic fans when it doesn't work in this setting.

The suit did make him stronger, not that it mattered outside of like, one scene where he's a dumbass and keeps holding some construction machine lol.

That and the shining is probably to make it stand out visually from his default costume, because this is just the default costume for the most part lol.

They kind of combined Gwen and Felicia for their take on Felicia anyways.

This is getting out of hand, LMAO.

I kinda have the impression that MJ has Gwen vibes, but I'd have to check more episodes to confirm lol.

Is this a joke about the movie or just a random fanart?

I was half expecting Mayday to be there holding up the sign.

There is a preview on Amazon of the Across the Spider-Verse Art Book featuring some Peter B. and Mayday concept artwork. I really like the Spider-Man themed bathrobe and the Spider-Ham slippers.

More ATSV concept art featuring Spider-Man Unlimited, one of the Dan Slott-armored Spider-Men (or is that a Spider-Woman or Spider-Girl in the armor?) and Earth X Spider-Cop:
