Across The Spider-Verse Had The Best Storyline?

Coming in at second place, with 22% of the vote is the Hailee Steinfeld-voiced Gwen Stacy. The character has been a fan-favorite since her debut in 2018. It’s great to see Spider-Gwen behind Miles as her arc bookends the film. “Across the Spider-Verse” kicks off with Stacy reckoning with her loneliness, only to be sent down spiraling after her father discovers her true identity. Luckily, they make amends as the film comes to a close, wrapping up one of the sequel’s most interesting and heartfelt side plots. After Stacy is the OG Spider-Man himself, Peter B. Parker, with 20% of the vote.

The last time we saw Jake Johnson’s take on Parker, he was trying to get his act together after mentoring Miles. In “Across,” the lovable Peter B. Parker is trying to raise his child and juggle how he’s lying to Miles. Though his role in the sequel is brief, B. Parker’s actions leave a heavy impact on the narrative, proving that everyone can improve themselves if they put their mind to it.

What’s surprising is that Miguel O’Hara, or Spider-Man 2099, only has 5% of the vote. While the Oscar Isaac character is ostensibly the main villain in the film (at least from Miles’ POV), it’s interesting to see how viewers weren’t receptive to his storyline. Then again, his nefarious intentions are likely what made him one of the lowest-ranking characters on the poll. Hopefully, the Spider-Man of the Future can redeem himself in the upcoming sequel. In last place, with 2% of the vote, is Miles’ dad, Jefferson Davis, voiced by Bryan Tyree Henry.
