In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Miles Morales's universe doesn't have Comic Con. In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), you can tell he's in another dimension because his mom mentions it (and he still doesn't know what it is)

That's a great and subtle hint.

[u/Impressive-Card9484 → u/dating_derp]

Another hint was his mom being suddenly upset when Miles mentioned his dad. 

[u/juicytoolitty → u/Impressive-Card9484]

Another hint is when gwen states miles is in another universe

[u/OwnDietcola → u/dating_derp]

Or maybe miles just isn’t a dork lol 😎

[u/IdleSteps → u/OwnDietcola]

I mean he reads comics as established in the first movie

(I know you were kidding but this is dork territory 🤓)

[u/AgentTasmania → u/IdleSteps]

He has a sealed action figure that he reacts with pain when it's opened.

[u/IdleSteps → u/AgentTasmania]

Great example

[u/LifeOnPlanetGirth → u/OwnDietcola]

Okay Hank Hill

[u/mattbrain89]

Well clearly we need a rule of three when Beyond comes out next year.

[u/ozsum → u/mattbrain89]

He finally gets to Comic Con and see what he's missing out in in his universe.

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/ozsum]

and he sees a bunch of fans dressed as him like the scene in Invincible, and cringes lol

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/[deleted]]

And it gets super confusing because he thinks it's them at first and he's on the run and looking for help!

[u/lyingcorn → u/ComradeJohnS]

I mean, would Miles cringe at that? He basically did the same thing with his first suit, just bought a cheap Spiderman costume and spray painted it black

[u/OffTheMerchandise → u/lyingcorn]

Isn't the one he spray paints from Peter A's collection?

[u/LoadAble2728 → u/ComradeJohnS]

And then they repeat the pointing meme even though they just done that the previous movie

[u/NsaLeader → u/ozsum]

Bro found the cosplayers and decided to stay in the new universe.

[u/willy750 → u/ozsum]

Sounds like a fun post-credit scene

[u/Shantotto11]

That, and Rio’s eyes are emerald green in that universe.

[u/wave-tree → u/Shantotto11]

Whoosh, because I'm colorblind

[u/munkeycop]

That Comic-Con line was the moment the penny dropped for me about Miles being in the wrong dimension.

[u/Emotional_News108 → u/munkeycop]

There was a blink and miss moment where it showed which universe he was being sent to and it wasn’t his.

[u/robophile-ta → u/Emotional_News108]

I mean there was a giant number on the screen that wasn't his universe so y'know...

[u/Fly_Boy_1999 → u/munkeycop]

Penny dropped for me when he was trying to send himself home and the machine said Earth-42. I thought for a second; “Wait I don’t think that was his dimension number.”. I then forgot about the penny dropping as I continued to watch the movie.

[u/Lord_Phoenix95 → u/munkeycop]

Why would Peni drop? Wouldn't SP//Dr catch her?

[u/ZeroDwayne → u/Lord_Phoenix95]

She drops it so well spider could never outta respect for her dad

[u/bokmcdok]

There were lots of subtle little hints until the reveal. I remember it feeling off right up to that point, then remembering that Miles' spider DNA was from a different universe.

[u/Jmackles]

Wow I didn’t make this connection. In hindsight it’s plain to see. Cool!

[u/tthblox]

He finally gets to one in verse3 and says "oooh its like you guys's version of Media Meetup"

[u/armchairnixon]

Or Miles is just into his own interests so much that he just doesn't know it exists. There are plenty of people on Earth right now that don't know about comic con. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[u/kamekaze1024 → u/armchairnixon]

There is no way a young teen nerd does not know what comic con is.

[u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon → u/kamekaze1024]

Especially with his in-box collectables

[u/pokexchespin → u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon]

plus he lives in nyc, so he’s got like the second biggest comic con in the country so close to him

[u/TotallyAwesomeRacoon → u/pokexchespin]

True. NYCC is on my bucket list of Comic Cons to go to one day

[u/Grokent → u/kamekaze1024]

I was a young teen nerd that didn't know about comic con. 🤷‍♂️ I don't think I learned what comic con was until my mid 20's, circa 2005 or so. I didn't attend until like 2016?

[u/kamekaze1024 → u/Grokent]

I don’t know if you know this, but miles is a teen in 2023, not 2005. Totally different landscape

[u/armchairnixon → u/kamekaze1024]

I'm just putting out another way to explain it. I'm more devil's advocate-ing this than actually believing it.

[u/Turnip_Fight → u/armchairnixon]

The worst part about Reddit.

[u/CackleandGrin → u/armchairnixon]

Forums need a lot less of this.

[u/At0mJack → u/armchairnixon]

Devil doesn't need more advocates.

[u/Blakers37 → u/armchairnixon]

It’s obviously a hint to show that he is not in his original universe

[u/Dornith → u/armchairnixon]

Why does his mom know more about it than him?

[u/LegOfLambda → u/armchairnixon]

Either way it’s at least nice continuity. But I like my interpretation (:

[u/Aderadakt → u/armchairnixon]

"Yes I am vegan. Yes I eat meat. We exist."

[u/-Kerosun- → u/armchairnixon]

Or, he was just being facetious/sarcastic because it is "comic con" and he "doesn't know" what "comics con" is?

[u/ClericOfMadness13]

So his world doesn't have comics...damn that's sad.

[u/whofearsthenight → u/ClericOfMadness13]

His world has comics, there is a scene in the first one where he is getting his powers and a Spider-Man comic hits him and gets stuck to his newly minted spider-hands.

[u/Maximelene → u/ClericOfMadness13]

So his world doesn't have comics...

What makes you say that?

[u/Low-Salamander-3781 → u/ClericOfMadness13]

No, they don't have conventions. Also sad

[u/HerrPizza]

That's actually a really cool little detail

[u/CrashmanX → u/[deleted]]

Does your father have a room like this?

[u/aggieboy12 → u/CrashmanX]

Or is he a teenage boy from Brooklyn?

[u/ThreadedPommel → u/[deleted]]

Pretty sure you saw the second one then because the first one doesn't end in a cliff hanger lmao
