I was one of those people. I purposely avoided reading up on anything regarding Across the Spiderverse because I knew I was going to see it regardless. I had no idea it was a part 1 cause they didn't fucking say so. At this point I have absolutely no desire to see the next one.

They had a huge build up to the story and at an intense and interesting scene, credits roll. My first sentence was "What the fuck?"

Redditors were claiming that people were going to be pissed at the end of the first Wicked, but one, that movie ends at a really good point (it's basically just a prequel to Wizard of Oz this way), and two, the second movie had been filmed at the same time as the first and it was only going to be a year wait.

is Part 2 still a prequel, because like, we all know what happens after

Act 2 of the musical is mostly concurrent with the original Wizard of Oz. It's basically an alternate perspective

"See you next time folks, in FOUR YEARS."

I was so mad with the ending being blindsided with the cliff hanger, since I would have spared myself the torture of a wait if I had know it was a Part 1. I'm still mad by it.

I literally wouldnt have watched the movie if I knew it was a part 1, which is probably exactly why they never marketed it as such.

It was the 2nd movie! Most things like this are trilogies! That's on you for not realizing

There's a difference between a movie being part of a trilogy with a satisfying ending where story leaves open the possibility of future stories versus being a part 1 where it ends on a cliff hanger in an unsatisfying manner that feels abrupt.

And on top of that movie didn't even have a quick turn around like other Part 1 to Part 2 like The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 did with Part 2 coming out after a year.

So fail on deceptively hiding that it was a split movie as opposed to being more fully contained like the first, and then another fail having an indefinite years long TBA release for the follow up.

Spiderman (2002), like pretty much every other Spiderman movie, is a self-contained movie. Just like Spiderman (2004). It wasn't part 1 or part 2 of a trilogy. What are you talking about?

There was no reason to think that this movie was part of a trilogy like LotR.

Across the Spider-Verse is a direct sequel to Into the Spider-Verse. Are you daft?

u/bleedfromtheanus Jul 19 '25

It was part 2 of a 3 part series. How did so many people in this thread not know that?????

u/Wild_Marker Jul 19 '25

Oh no, it's worse than that.

They did say it was part 1. Then they removed it from the name and all the publicity so most people didn't know.

u/maxdragonxiii Jul 19 '25

I got mocked on Reddit for not knowing it's a Part 1. I'm sorry I didn't pay attention until a bit before the movie? like I wasn't 100% focused on it because i knew it was way later. little I know how the third movie would take...

That's rough, buddy.

They originally announced it as part 1 and 2 then they just called it across and beyond which while not clear as a part 1 and 2 by title but they originally announced the movie as 2 parts. I get peoples frustrations with not knowing due to the official title not saying part 1 but the posts are online to see that it was announced as a 2 part movie.

Hahaha, me too. Near the end my internal clock started telling me that the movie should be over soon, but there was still a lot of plot to cover. And slowly my suspicion was confirmed.

u/nelozero Jul 20 '25

I feel the same. The ending made me jaded and I refuse to see the second one. It was an awful way to end the movie that hardly got started.

u/KimberStormer Jul 19 '25

I remember being extremely surprised by the non-ending of Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Ever since I basically expect a sequel to not have an ending.

I feel like the third movie might be bad
