#im over-analyzing

video grabbed from @ ej.edits2 on tikok

something i noticed during my rewatch of atsv was how the communication between miles and gwen in this scene was also reflected in the animation(?)

i like how on the surface, their dialogue is causal and friendly and familiar but, even without context, we can tell gwen isnt giving the full picture and miles is trying to get up to speed with little anecdotes shes sharing. "who's miguel?" "a few months is kind of a long time, isn't it?"

hes trying to catch up! it mirrors in their physical movements where they never really enter/leave the frame at the same and miles is behind gwen at every swing and jump

i don't know if this animation direction was purposeful or not to show the subtle disconnect between the two of them. or just to lead into the fact that gwen is trying to lose miles in the city for a few seconds to set up that little spider robot.
