Spider-Man: Miles Morales is full of detail, as Insomniac has once again proven that they know how to make New York City feel vibrant and full of life. However, the lead character of Spider-Man: Miles Morales is just as detailed, with a special new idle animation proving this.
Some of the best Spider-Man: Miles Morales details are some of the saddest, with Miles able to visit the grave of his father Jefferson Davis. Peter Parker’s Aunt May and Uncle Ben can be seen in the graveyard as well, with some real-world deaths also being given some proper attention. Stan Lee is honored via a statue near the pizzeria where he made his cameo in the first game, while the late Chadwick Boseman is referenced via a street sign. Fortunately, this idle animation detail is on the lighter side.
Redditor Enzio-Auditioner1499 shared a clip of the webslinger perched on top of a crane, with the player able to get a gorgeous view of the water surrounding the city. J. Jonah Jameson can be heard on the radio, with the gamer clearly resting from swinging so that they can focus on listening to the character rant. While the character's usual Spider-Man hatred opens the clip, Miles can be seen waving his hand as if he were listening to music. Once Jonah ends his dialogue, Miles can be heard humming a specific song to himself.
Rather than humming something a bit more subtle like “I’m Ready” from the game’s soundtrack, Miles can be heard humming the game’s main theme. Quietly hitting every note and even throwing some beatboxing into the mix, the moment is both adorable and hilarious. With the player posting the moment seeming to believe that nobody else has brought up the animation, it will be interesting to see if Miles can be heard humming any other Spider-Man-related music when left idle.
While the moment is funny enough on its own, seeing Miles wearing the new Advanced Tech costume adds to it. It is hard not to smile when seeing the young hero dressed in a proper armored suit that is clearly designed for combat, yet choosing to avoid any fighting by rocking out to his own song instead. While commenter entitledfather23 would have liked to hear the 1960s Spider-Man theme instead, they still seem to have gotten a kick out of seeing the hero entertain himself.
While fans will likely be waiting a while for news on the next Marvel's Spider-Man game to be shared, it seems like there are still details left to see in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. While it may not be the same as playing a new release, swinging through the current Spider-Man game’s city — or in this case standing in place — can apparently still lead to some fun discoveries.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is available now on PS4 and PS5.
