Argue the Toss

Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse sets new standard for Marvel films

Drew and Chella start the year with the incredible Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. This is Sony’s animated Spider-Man film, which blows a lot of the superhero competition out of the water with its creativity and freshness.

From the pop art visuals, to the jazz, soul and hip hop soundtrack, to the heartfelt storytelling and the rich cast of characters, mostly made up of spider-people, Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse hits almost every beat perfectly.

And of course the return of Chella’s favourite, Jeff Davison, is just the cherry on the icing on the cake. That and Spider-Man Noir.

Welcome to Season 5 of Argue the Toss.

Chella Ramanan

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
