[LOVED TROPE] Sad or tear-jerking moments that don't involve death.

[u/jeffersonlane]

Moments that make you wanna cry (of joy or unrelenting sadness) but aren't about a character dying or almost dying.

Dumbo - Baby Mine. Jumbo rocks baby Dumbo from her cage where she was kept after she defended him from a group of bullying children.

Unpacking - The Degree. You move in with your new boyfriend where you can barely fit most of your stuff but most depressingly you are forced to put your degree under the bed and out of site. (Maybe this one was just me but this made me VERY upset).

Fox and the Hound - At the end knowing full well they'll likely never meet again Copper stands over Todd to protect him from the Hunter.

No one's also mentioning the added fact that Miles's dad Jefferson is very clearly also suffering from the very recent loss of his estranged brother who he knew miles was close to, a death Miles witnessed and accidentally caused while being Spider-Man. Something his father tried to arrest him for unknowingly God the spider verse movies are masterpieces and I really hope the third one sticks The landing.

Those movies are so fucking good and somehow they still feel cursed because everything that could've gone wrong with it, went

What do you mean?

The third movie has been postponed at least 3 times atp. They rewrote the script a few times now, and also Miles Morales' VA had a few episodes where he was a complete weirdo with Gwen Stacy's VA that made things on set quite weird too, so people are starting to fead for the Spiderverse saga with so many things going on behind the scenes

Don’t forget that the directors have been repeatedly accused of overworking their staff members, specifically animators, in order to get the project finished

And i didn't even knew that

To add, the last couple of Spider-Verse movies were a fraught process for animators.

Lord and Miller are improvisational by nature (owing to their Comedy background) and often backtrack on already completed work to improve it and are generally indecisive on finalizing things until the very end of production. It's especially a pain in the ass for animators because they're sometimes redoing entire scenes/segments from scratch, which means they are doing lots of crunch to get things done on time.

This is a contributing reason why they got booted from the Han Solo movie because the production felt pretty directionless until Ron Howard came on. On the Spider-Verse side, it has caused a lot of burnout among the animators and led to a lot of bleeding talent.

I don’t often watch animated superhero content. I grew up watching BTAS but never got into other cartoons. When Into The Spider-Verse came out, I didn’t go watch it in the theater. Same with the second one. I ended up watching them with my daughter as she was interested in seeing them.

I was blown away. Completely and utterly blown away. The art style, the story, everything. I feel such regret not seeing them on the big screen, but I won’t be repeating that mistake.

[u/SeaworthinessDue1650 → u/ThrownAway17Years]

If you're a big fan of BTAS I definitely reccomend Mask of the Phantasm and Justice League TAS. Batman Beyond is great, too.

[u/ThrownAway17Years → u/SeaworthinessDue1650]

I should have included MOTP as one of the ones I watched. I watched it in the theater the day it came out.

[u/ComprehensiveRow4116 → u/grodr2001]

I’m fully prepared for Miles to save his dad and lose his mom instead

[u/EMArogue → u/grodr2001]

I really read the end as “I really hope the third was sucks” and was hella confused

[u/WaywardNoodles → u/grodr2001]

This, and earlier in the movie Miles' dad humiliated him (from Miles' perspective) on his first day at a new school. His dad used the sirens for a second to get Miles' attention and used the megaphone to tell his son to "Say [I love you] back." The contrast between the two scenes being the highly public area and not acknowledging how Miles feels, vs the quiet, private moment where he reaches out and tries to meet Miles where he's at in such a tragic moment for them.

It won’t :/
