Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse proved that there are many things the Marvel Cinematic Universe could learn about telling multiversal stories.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was a fantastic multiverse-centric movie - as was its predecessor - that the MCU can learn from in the last two Phases of the Multiverse Saga. While the MCU has certainly told some great multiverse stories so far, namely Spider-Man: No Way Home and Loki, there is no denying the overwhelming quality of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel by comparison. Both animated Sony tell stories that span multiple universes and do so with relative ease.
While Doctor Strange 2 had the montage sequence of Strange and America Chavez flying through the multiverse with some interesting concepts, the scene was relatively short. Eventually, the film landed in a universe with little to no difference from the core MCU dimension. Aside from tiny, inconsequential differences like stop-means-go at traffic lights, the universe was nowhere close to as distinct and original as the many designs from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
8 The Multiverse Should Not Replace Grounded Character Arcs One of the biggest issues with films like Doctor Strange 2 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was that their multiversal, large-scale stories overshadowed the respective film's characters. Strange and Ant-Man had minimal arcs, that lacked a lot of emotional depth, with respective villains like Scarlet Witch and Kang receiving better arcs and more focus.
5 The MCU Could Have Better Multiversal Villains One of the best aspects of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was taking a former unserious villain like the Spot and improving him through the multiverse. Rather than be a joke, villain-of-the-week, Spot became seriously menacing by the end of the film thanks to his ties to the multiverse. While the MCU has Kang who is an established threat, there have rarely been other multiversal villains that have made a lasting impact like Spot.
