FROM BLACK...

INT. SECRET FACILITY - DAY

A massive lab space, so bleeding edge that it looks alien. Holographic images of the Collider’s final moments (twisted, flowering cityscapes... giant floating pencils... Spider-Ham, etc.) hover above the dozens of workstations filling the room.

We also get a glimpse of HEADSHOTS of Miles, Peter, Peni, and Gwen.

A HOLOGRAM WOMAN, Lyla, stands in the center of the lab, flickering from one screen to the next.

LYLA: You’re a bit late.

SUITED FIGURE: We can’t all be everywhere at once.

LYLA: A little text might have been nice.

SUITED FIGURE: I was gone for less than two hours, what happened?

LYLA: Okay okay okay I know what it looks like but, here’s the good news...

SUITED FIGURE: Oh, here we go.

LYLA: ...the multiverse DIDN’T collapse.

SUITED FIGURE: Oh, cool!

LYLA: A little touch and go, but it worked out.

SUITED FIGURE: Great story. Hey, did you finish the goober?

LYLA: It’s not a goober. It’s a gizmo.

SUITED FIGURE: Do you always have to call me out? It’s just really frustrating and it bums me out.

She gestures to a crazy WATCH floating above a pedestal.

LYLA: Don’t get too excited Miguel it’s just a prototype.

SUITED FIGURE: Not excited.

The gizmo attaches itself to the Suited Figure’s arm.

SUITED FIGURE: Okay, ow!

LYLA: You could be the first person to make an autonomous multiverse jump... or the last.

The suited character stands stock still for a long moment, considering the watch. We begin to PAN AROUND HIM...

MIGUEL: Okay, so we’re just going to roll the dice on this?

LYLA: So what do you say pal? Where do you want to go first?

...finally revealing a DEEP BLUE MASK. NO EYEHOLES. RED, DAGGER-LIKE LENS FRAMES...

MIGUEL: Let’s start at the beginning. One last time. Earth 67.

SMASH TO:

A TRIPPY MATTE PAINTING

From a Ralph Bakshi directed 1968 episode from season two of the old animated Spider-Man animated TV show.

TWO SHOT -- Miguel jumps in to frame with the famous ‘67 ANIMATED MEME SPIDER-MAN.

MEME SPIDER-MAN: Whoa... what the...

MIGUEL: I’m Spider-Man. I need you to come with me.

MEME SPIDER-MAN: Who the heck are you?

MIGUEL: I just told you that, listen, listen. I’m from the future.

MEME SPIDER-MAN: How dare you point at me!

MIGUEL: You were pointing first!

MEME SPIDER-MAN: It’s rude to point.

MIGUEL: You’re being very rude! You’re not even believing what I’m saying. You’re saying I’m not who I say I am.

A POLICE OFFICER and J. JONAH JAMESON are standing nearby.

MEME POLICE OFFICER: Which one pointed first?

MEME JAMESON: Spider-Man pointed first! Obviously!

And we go out in pure chaos, the most expensive dumb joke of all time... MIGUEL: You’re pointing at me right now as you say that! Look at you! Look at your finger! Look at your finger right now! What is it doing? You are pointing! You are accusing me of pointing, while your pointing-- MEME SPIDER-MAN: I’m not pointing, you’re pointing. I’m just pointing out your pointing. Which is different from normal pointing. You haven’t seen pointing until I get through with you and then you’ll know-- “THE END” title card from the 1967 Bakshi cartoon.
