In the recent times, we have seen Spider-Man launch his own franchise, come back in a pointless reboot, and then join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now the superhero gets a new lease of life as an animated character who somehow shares the same spider-verse with Venom. Miles Morales is a troubled teenager who is bitten by a radioactive spider. As Miles attempts to harness his newfound powers, he is joined by five other incarnations of Spider-Man from parallel universes. Although Spider-Man fatigue is a realistic prospect, this turns out to be a terrifically funny, moving, creative, and entertaining animation. It won an Academy Award for best animated feature. Followed by Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
