Wreck-it-Ralph: Ralph Breaks the Internet directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston. Came to theaters in 2018 as the sequel adventure to Wreck-it-Ralph. After six years Ralph and Vanellapi have forever been best friends doing everything together, one day as the arcade started to open the store owner installed “WIFI” which is also known as the internet. They venture off into the internet in search of a video game part that broke but on the way figure out their insecurities and fears that have built up over the years. Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse directed by Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman, came to theaters in 2018. The new addition to the Marvel franchise. The story that many are familiar with but with different superheroes. All from different universes (spider-verses) but still are “spider-people'' sent by this huge collider created by Doctor Olivia (Doc Oc) and KingPin who has been trying to reunite with his family. After the spider man from the normal universe died, a young kid from Brooklyn named Miles Morales takes up the responsibility of the next Spiderman along with his friends from the other dimensions while also finding himself in the process.
After seeing both movies back to back I could clearly see why SpiderMan: Into the Spiderverse won the Oscars in 2018. The way they filmed it as a comic book was very clever considering the whole storyline was based on all the different SpiderMan comics. It also keeps the spirit of Stan Lee’s (may he rest in peace) message to all of us Marvel fans and all superheroes, specifically in the spiderman comics that, “With great power come great responsibility” and we hear it throughout every single spiderman movie including this one. Now this movie, in my opinion, won against Ralph breaks the internet because it was a great movie visually; the comics book animation and the messages embedded in the movie along with action and very funny moments. Ralph although it has great animation, however, nothing beats the first movie.
Ralph Breaks the Internet is the second adventure to the first movie, where bad guy Wreck-it Ralph from the Wreck-it Ralph game, 6 years after he almost pulled the plug on one of the arcade games, he and his new best friend, Vanellope Von Schweetz (sweets) have to venture to the internet to find a wheel for her racing game. As they try to come up with money to get the part both find their insecurities and desires outside of the arcade. Vanellope wants more than predictability in her life, she wants adventure and suspense while Ralph cannot let her go, he's insecure about his loneliness due to him being alone and looked as a villain his whole life. Friendships have been tested which also turned into a nasty virus set by Ralph’s ambition to make Vanellope stay with him. Without realizing how selfish and insecure he was towards her he had to learn the hard way that he had to let some things go to move on.
SpiderMan: Into the Spider-Verse the new addition to the Marvel franchise, a new but old twist on the SpiderMan franchise. In my opinion, this movie deserved all its awards and praise that it had, it was my favorite movie of 2018. The cinematic animations and the soundtrack was the best I've heard in any Marvel movie beside Black Panther. The journey of the Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, trying to figure out who he is and what he's going to be with the help of Peter B. Parker and other spider people. He eventually found his strength after the death of his uncle and uplifting words of his father he finally dared to be the hero he was meant to be. He had the strength to take down Kingpin once and for all to avenge his uncle who was working for him and to save his universe and the other spider verses.
Both were very entertaining to watch and I've watched them more than once in a minimum of two days, but as I said if I had to choose which was better it would always be Spiderman Into the Spiderverse.
This feels like a great brainstorm, Abby, but your review demands more revision! The length is a bit short (by about 30%) and that keeps you from going as deep as you could have gone. Ending up with a lot of summary-- reframe that information so that we get a sense of positive/negative tone in there-- what's so GOOD or BAD about these choices? Spiderverse is a bit more clear because you're praising Stan Lee's legacy and some of the other cinematic choices. Feels very disjointed and doesn't give you much opportunity for synthesis. The comparisons try to be too generalized-- would have been better with more synthesis in the actual paragraphs instead of just hoping the audience would make the connections for you.
