Welcome to our final week of discussions!
Art does not exist in a vacuum from what happens in other disciplines and I hope you see, as we have moved through this class, that there are many connections across mediums to explore similar ideas. One method of exploration is for one medium to explore ideas in another and a great example of this is the 2018 film Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse which explores the medium of comic books through animation and cinema. Directors Phil Lord and Ezra Miller who also created the popular films The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street see to have found a way to tell stories that should have felt like generic cash grabs in a surprisingly earnest and real way. One way they have done this is by weaving in post-postmodern (or post-ironic) ideas into their films.
This is done by an honest approach to the subject, whether selling toys or exploring comics, and articulating that this is the nature of what the film is. However, unlike films that explore this nakedly honest motive with sarcastic dismissal, Lord and Miller seek to find the redeeming and human connection in their piece. In Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, Lord and Miller need to explore the origin story of Miles Morales, which they know has been done to death. So how do they do it? By exploring his origin story in the context of the origin stories of other figures. He is placed in the context of what Spiderman has been and can be and then defines himself earnestly despite his unoriginality in a uniquely original format.

Looking forward to your final posts this week!
The discussions are open throughout the class, but you can only get credit for posting during the week the discussion is assigned. That means that I will be grading posts in Week 8 discussions that are submitted between Sunday 10/20 and Saturday 10/26.
