Spider-Verse Animates Miles at Half the Frame Rate Until He Accepts His Powers

Atom · refreshed Search related

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, every Spider-character animates at 24 frames per second — except Miles Morales, who renders at only 12 fps while his powers are unstable. You can literally watch him "smooth out" the moment Peter finishes mentoring him in the forest. Once Miles accepts the responsibility of being Spider-Man, his animation permanently switches to the full 24 fps. The choppiness wasn't a budget compromise — it was the storytelling.
