 now awesome and then i'm gonna cut off my audio there we go all right uh and we can start whenever you're ready yeah i'm good let's do it sorry i want wearing a spider man suit no it's okay i'm only i'm only doing it out of you know out of uh i don't know obligation i just felt it's a sick fucking suit right there i love the design of that thank you it's um yeah like i think everybody on the planet knows i've made it i was about to say it that's what i fucking do oh my god anyway hello welcome to the um spider bite cast where it's been so long that i shit you not i forgot what the name was just now we're here with johnny i don't know should i call you johnny like your by your instagram ad or your youtube channel i'll let you interest yourself so yeah hi i'm johnny michaels i am a cosplayer and aspiring filmmaker and i on my youtube channel i post a lot of spider man cosplay content where now i've focused more on tutorial based videos showing everyone out there how to make their own spider man costumes and on the side i'm just also uh trying to be a filmmaker have you i i don't want to like skip down the list here but i saw when you said that you were a filmmaker i was i was off put because i've never seen you do any film projects i'm gonna skip down the line a little bit have you yeah go ahead have you done have you made any film projects are you currently making any film projects that you can talk about so okay i actually answer both of those questions um so if you scroll through my youtube channel and if you're an old fan you know that i actually have a few film projects i actually have a playlist of short films on my youtube channel they're kind of hidden because i haven't done one in a long while but one of my first like sketch short film i posted on my youtube channel was a very webhead christmas it was basically i created this spider man character that was spidey claws uh it was a spider man santa claws mix and my friend accidentally killed her killed him and yeah like i don't know if i should like unhide that video i hit it because it's awful but yeah that's technically my first spider man fan film that's pretty funny school yeah i didn't i don't think though sorry i didn't i i know like the the the common plot for stories like this is like oh no we've accidentally called like murdered santa claws and cold blood and now we have to do christmas i thought like being spider man will be enough well we literally the plot of the thing is she's trying to convince me that right he isn't real uh and at the end she's like dragging the dead corpse of like spidey claws oh god what why is this so gory it's not gory at all it's just super weird like i'll like i'll unhide the video so people can watch it but like yeah it was weird a weird time for me you gotta unhide a video like that like after you just like coming out and saying like that's that's fucking wild yeah now it's out in the open i have to unhide it you have to yeah yeah recently though last year last summer i filmed a independent horror movie uh i was cast in we got flown out to minnesota to shoot there for a couple weeks uh my character was uh damien vasco he's uh um this executive producer for the show that the characters are filming in the movie and that was great i actually have a tattoo on my neck for the project i'm like oh wait oh shit is it like behind the ear yeah like oh that's creepy yeah so it's the killer's mask and i got the tattoo with the writer and assistant director she was just like i'm getting a tattoo for my birthday of the mask and i was like okay i'll join you so that's my first ever tattoo on my neck awesome yeah so that was fun and like it was like it was both the best and worst experience of my life just because of the situation we were put in because it was a budget film it was like i think our budget was $20,000 right and um i got heatstroke on set because i was putting a leather jacket during the summer for my character's costume and then i also cut my hand on a prop knife holy shit yeah and like other people like got thrown up and got hurt on set too um for different reasons boy yeah the the film's called sedage i should probably say that out loud um i talked about it on my videos a couple times but i haven't really said anything about it but yeah it was it was great it was a great experience working on that film and uh i'm actually currently in the process of writing two films as of right now one's a horror comedy and i can't really confirm this but um you'll get an exclusive right here it's a spiderman fan film that i'm currently writing that's pretty that's pretty exciting i feel like half the budget on that horror film you mentioned went to hospital bills or whatever amenities you had to do to patch yourselves up all we had was band-aids that's nice for our budget like it was creepy though because like we filmed in this cabin like in the middle nowhere in Minnesota and like all because this was a female lead crew shout out to all the female filmmakers out there so like all the girls would stay in the cabin and all the guy like guy actors and like a couple of crew or guys uh stayed at a motel like half an hour away uh i see yeah we were all stuck in one room so there's like four guys in one small motel room the bathroom door hit the toilet so that's and it's not like chlorine that's like someone yeah that just sounds like it sounds yeah i know but it was it was great i would i would do it all over again just to relive it it was it was great and terrible all right i'm gonna i've been i've been i've been tearing around the list here and i'm finally gonna stick to it i'm gonna you know what and i'm not gonna go to these boring bitch ask questions i'm gonna go i'm gonna you know what i don't want to go down the line i don't want to be traditional i want to throw myself right in i haven't done this in like three months like not even i think the last one was like five months ago or something like that i just know it was with atx spider right oh my god yes it was with Liam he is such a talented mother fucker he is uh i've had quite a big conversations with him just like us talking about sewing and stuff he's a great guy oh yeah he like his stuff is amazing speaking speaking of people you've interacted with what are some of the what are some of like the they don't have to be big names but is there anybody notable that you think personally that you've interacted with like around the basis of like doing spider-man stuff like who's who are some of the most biggest or most interesting people you've interacted with okay so i got some stories i got all right so one of them was around the time infinity war came out and i posted a video about how i did the gold bands on my iron spider suit right well cavern's creations actually texted me an image this was years ago of him doing that technique on like a test thing he was like this is really cool and good i was like holy shit he just texted me what the function like on instagram like on instagram or sir he texted me on instagram oh i was about to say he just randomly grabbed your number and was like this is amazing and you're like who is this you know i just sent instagram that was amazing feeling dude i need to like turn on notification posts for when cavern does anything because like i just i love looking at his costumes like i some days when i get bored i'll straight up just scroll through his suits and like i it's so entertaining to me i love like he does that it's so wild to me that you can do so many different things like as a human being because cavern works out he screen prints these fabrics and then he sews the suits together he makes mechanical moving ones and it's like what the fuck that's like so much shit you can only have one thing you can only have one no but i can't talk i do like so much different shit it's just wild to me how well his different talents like meshed together yeah that's amazing i remember following him around the time that he first started doing his mechanical lenses like it was roughly put together and stuff i saw his journey i remember when he did a joker cosplay he did like a gelato joker cosplay i've never heard of that i i yeah no that's a shocker that's when he was going by lenses hk i believe that's one he was before cavern's creations but yeah so i was like my first big like interaction with like a spider man cosplayer and then this the next one was a little more recent this is a little embarrassing because it was just stupid of me so i don't know if you remember i tried putting up a what if spider man pattern online do you remember that yeah i remember that so um that was really stupid of me just because i didn't get permission from uh scratch threads who made the pattern base it was just me being stupid because like i was like oh other people alter pattern like bases all the time you know somebody took off the ramy pattern everybody uses that so in my head i was like okay so if i just make alterations to scratch threads pattern base and i did and i made everything from scratch like the like the webs and the um the details like the dots and the squares i did all that from scratch and i altered the boot pattern uh to be like more like a ramy boot pattern and i was like okay yeah like this is what people do i'll just post it uh so i can sell it i wasn't originally gonna sell it but i thought why the hell not i need some money yeah it's just an act of like desperation so i posted online and one person bought it that night and then i get a text from the amazing spider lab he was like hey dude like i don't know if you should post that like have it sell it make a profit of it because it is scratch threads pattern right and then this was all during the night and the time difference like i didn't see it till the morning and then he also sent another text after that he was like yeah i just talked to scratch threads you should take it down right now because he said don't share this pattern base like because like even in says like on his website like don't share like anything from the pattern whatnot so i was like oh shit yeah okay so i took it down gave the guy who bought it a refund because i didn't want to make a profit of it i texted him like i took it down i gave the guy a refund he was like okay we're all good like he wasn't mad at me or anything i think he was just kind of like watching out for me because like i did fuck up like there's no question about it but yeah that's how i first kind of interacted with the amazing spider lab that's fucking insane i mean it's not really the best first impression you can make but it's still pretty cool yeah with my anxiety though afterwards i was like he hates me he hates me oh my god no i hate that fucks me he texted me a little bit afterwards about my the drawing of the bricks onto the mask of my amazing spider man too like how i drew on the bricks and stuff he was like i used to do that i was like so like okay we're good he doesn't hate me he probably doesn't really think about me but yeah he doesn't hate me yeah no i mean fucking honestly i tried to reach out to Gavin Gavin j cone off the guy who made who's making spider man lotus because he he put out a he put out a um thing that was like hey i'm open to do interviews about spider man lotus and if you guys want to reach out and like ask me if you want to fucking be in your in your podcast i'll do it and i was i sent him a fucking i sent him an instagram dm and i was like hey i do this shit and i sent him like videos with with atx i sent him that i get fucking dead ass response dead nothing and then i fucking i'm not i'm not i'm not being so i am i am but i'm not like genuinely shaming him for doing other things and if he sees this i'm not shaming you i am i'm mostly exaggerating my anger for the sake of comedy but i go on his instagram story or whatever and he's announcing that like oh i went on this guy's podcast and i was like oh i'm gonna go see it and that guy is like 57 subscribers and i'm like are you shitting me are you shitting me try that see if i don't want to i don't want to like pressure him and then coming on you know i mean it's like another interesting interaction interaction interaction i had was with g j gavin canop actually right i posted i don't know if you saw the post before i took it down but basically because i am trying to be an actor and whatnot so i have backstage which is this thing where people post jobs for actors to try to audition for and like casting calls and whatnot and i saw that spider-man lotus posted on there so i was like holy shit is this real so i check it had gavin's email and everything and i saw the two roles i'm not going to say what the two roles are because i just kind of spoilery but uh i'll text you it later uh so i saw one of the roles that i it was literally fun to do it was just a minor role nothing big it was just like a couple days shoot and uh whatnot so you're in it you're in it you got the role no oh because there's because the way it works is they specifically post like the city they're looking for so they either go nationwide for everyone in the united states or just in the state and they're shooting in california right and i was like fuck i'm not in california i don't have a car or anything to go there so i was like oh fuck and i just posted on my instagram like you know i saw it blah blah blah and i hope whoever gets the role has a fun time shooting whatnot but then i was like let me just submit an audition let me just submit my name into the casting call just so he can like see my stuff and then i submitted it and i hear nothing back there actually the the time to submit closed yesterday so i would have had to heard back yesterday and they were flowing me out like yesterday or today in order to shoot so i'm obviously not in california i'm in my room in arizona so and i even like asked i even told them like because they're paying the actors for like a flat rate to come and shoot there and i was like you can you literally use the money to pay for my travel and lodge like i i don't even care like to not get paid would that be like would that be enough to cover that probably not like i looked up the ticket prices for roundaway trip and you know lodging for like three days i believe they the shoot was so i was like it probably was enough but i still shot my shot just to see what would happen but i didn't even get a response so right yeah fucking alexa makes making noises and shit all right i'm gonna because i'm gonna talk to you about something that's affected me mentally all right this has caused me a great deal of mental pain how is the the selling out of red clear dot spandex affecting you that shit is not in stock anymore yeah i was gonna talk about that on one of my videos uh sooner or later but yeah that fucking sucks i have i bought the last two yards i swear to god i was the person that bought the last two yards i haven't used it i fucking johnny fucking took those last two yards from me right now it's an unopened package of you mother fucker you're keeping that shit mint you fucking asshole you fucking i swear to god i like i was fucking looking through my discord servers and i i like saw some chatter about like i was really clear to speedy he's sold out and i was like yeah and then i went to ha they have like two colors of like the clear dot spandex had white and black on spandex world but then they just got rid of them like over the years and like i guess over time as people like saw my videos or whatever or saw other people using clear dot spandex they're like okay let me just buy it up yeah and they i'm guessing they don't make unlimited amounts of it it's like i remember somebody talking about like supply and demand there isn't enough demand for it so yeah they just ran out right i feel like for a spandex store i feel like there is i mean like there's no way they can get like enough business or like to fucking justify like people like us coming in maybe like twice a week and buying like at least two y'all i feel like there's no way their store gets that much business to where our amount of buying this shit is like not enough because i feel like we fucking like us as the spider-man community who makes shit buy enough clear dot spandex to i don't know i like i don't know shit about any of this think about it too because the the amount of spider-man cosplayers you have to think about the amount who buy costumes amount who make costumes i would say the amount of people who buy costumes is way more than amount who make them that is true i didn't actually think about that i'd like i didn't take a second to think about how little people there are that like actually get on a sewing machine and like yeah now a lot of people have that sort of patience we do yeah this is like this is like my gonna be my last red clear dot spandex suit unfortunately i fucking i extra two yards i'm not gonna use them so if you want them i'll talk about that after the video you fucking no all right how i noticed can huh everyone put me up for the food that's he's gonna fucking he's gonna hold a fucking once they called a goddamn i forget the word he's gonna hold like a auction for the spandex and we're gonna like end up running each other out of money we're gonna be shooting up into the thousands and shit just for like two yards of this fucking fabric man uh i know a place that still sells black clear dots spandex oh yeah that's basically it i recently got some for a miles morales suit that i'm currently how many suits do you make like i i've had quite a lot i get asked a lot but i've never like taken a second to to count there's of course there's suits i don't wear anymore you know but this is that that's fucking sick though i love your designs by the way that's like one of like the best things like i go sometimes through your page and like and your tiktoks is like the costumes you make the designs of them are fucking fantastic yeah i want to i want to sit down because like a lot uh i don't want to like talk too much about me on this shit because like i'm interviewing the johnny michaels sometimes like i know it's supposed to be about me but like i also want to get to know people so i'm oh yeah that's fair i feel like you at least got a little bit of me in some of these yeah but like i um i've been i've i've done commissions recently i've been doing commissions i literally put an ad in the last podcast for making suits and i was like hey you fucking you little five-year-olds that fucking watch me go to your mom go get your credit card run my shit up and like i i so i essentially prioritized making costumes because that's what i want to do when i get old i want to fucking get in the costume business and then i like fucking i was pumping out i was taking two commissions at a time i was making suits for spider pleb i was making suits for spider manderson i was making suits for a bunch of little name cosplayers i made a suit for who's a notable person i made a suit for um narrow does stuff he's his suit my suit i made for him is actually gonna be used in his film and i fucking that's awesome it beat the shit out of me mentally because it's like all this beautiful shit that i'm making is going to be gone i'm never going to get to see it again and it makes you sad it really does some shit to you and like i had to take a break and i had to up my prices because it just wasn't worth it to me anymore so i had commissions i used to do commissions um i did two and i'm doing two right now um my buddy uh insomniac spidey or whatever the fuck he's going by now the devil cause whatever i'll uh i'll text you his at right now but yeah i did a couple suit commissions for him those were the first two ever suit commissions i did it was like a classic black and red like cost spider man and then it was a it was the civil war unused suit i did i think you can see those posts on my instagram where i did those commissions for him and then after that i was just like i can't do this because like i don't know about you but the worst part of it is just like painting it it's like the worst thing ever like puff painting i can't do it anymore i used to be able to like now i can't yeah you used to paint like a madman yeah like my tasm one symbiote costume i puff painted in like two weeks to get it ready for halloween oh that sounds like a fucking nightmare like especially the test out of all suits i'm literally getting i'm literally getting messages about a commission right now as we fucking speak i i work for again i still work when narrow does stuff and i'm part of his little film crew junk art and i'm like the only i we like to joke i am because i'm other than of course like spider boy i am the only like costume designer that works on commission spider boy also makes costumes but i am the only one who makes costumes for the crew that like if they need someone to make them a suit for a film i'll like pitch in and do it and like obviously they pay me and i like it's cool and i'm willing to do it more than i'm willing to do like regular commissions because like i'll have like i get to see my suit in a fucking movie and it's awesome but i'm i'm gonna i'm not gonna mention anything i've done to the past 30 minutes and then it's gonna it's all gonna come flying out because i'm gonna ask you the next question i've seen you've been you've been buying like erin alexandra's fabrics recently how like how are they like in terms of like shipping and pricing and just how they feel in general like how like what's the quality like give me an in-depth review on it so i only bought his blue homecoming fabric that's the only time i bought it just because like i can't really afford it all the time but i this was around 2020 before covid hit so i like he was doing a sale and i was like i hit him up was like hey how much is your homecoming kit i've been thinking about redoing it my homecoming suit and he was like well here's the price for the entire kit but here's the price for just the blue because i know you can just puff paint the red because i've seen your work and he was a big fan of mine so i was like oh okay so i'll just buy the blue from him so i bought the blue from him and then i came up with the original concept suit that i did which a lot of people for some reason like that's the i don't that's the fucking suit i know you for that's the one i know you for the one that doesn't fucking work anymore yeah i threw that away what i kept the expensive fabric for it but it was just falling apart on me because i rushed it out so i just kind of tort for parts and then i might remake it with better stuff that's so fucking raw like i i have the first suit i ever made up there like that's right there i like if i were you even if it was falling apart and shit i would just put that shit right there i still have the first suit i ever sewed my first spider-man cosplay i've ever sewn it's in my closet but yeah and then the actual like fabric itself didn't get to me till i want to say whenever i posted that video i think it was like august or something because um he's based in peru i believe so all that because of covid restrictions everything was shut down he couldn't get supplies he couldn't get it shipped out so that took months on months and like i had moved i literally moved twice in that process so i used to live in korea then i moved to the states in arizona and then i texted in my address that was moving to and then i moved again because i was living with my sister in her apartment and we moved to a bigger one so me and her could stay in and so i literally changed addresses like twice and i finally got it and it was honestly really really good um even though i barely touched the thing anymore like it still holds up um and yeah it's really good quality like i don't know how to really explain it because i it's because it's just fabric you know you can't yeah of course that's something you gotta touch like just touching me it's like so satisfying i'm like wearing it just makes you like look nicer sort of oh yeah it's nice and textured so it brings out the best i can describe it okay i mean look through my okay i personally i i know i said i would wait 30 minutes i don't give a shit okay i'm breaking my rule i personally can't people ask me a lot they're like hey you should make this suit from a movie or whatever like that's fucking spider-man movie and i'm like no i don't want to do that because when you draw up a spider-man costume for a movie like fucking like for a rainy movie or tanzan movie or whatever they drew that to make it exactly you know what i mean they drew it to make this exact i'll almost bring this concept to life so i felt like if i were to make it it would almost be pointless what motivates you to sort of recreate these movie costumes from scratch like the one you have in the back it's very gorgeous by the way thank you um it's slightly just obsession um another thing is just like i didn't really read spider-man comics growing up because i grew up in korea for 13 years we didn't have like an american comic bookstore there just for me to read so the way i connected with spider-man was through the ramy movies and i just remember always wanting a ramy costume like the exact one but now i don't really like the design because there are better designs out there and then watching the tazum one and tazum two and homecoming far from home i just like because the way those movies make me feel as a person and as a filmmaker i just want like a memento from those movies and that's the way i do it with costumes and like i know not all of my costumes have been perfect and like they're not 100 accurate i try not to use that term like 100 accurate because like the way i'm doing suits is like it isn't 100 the way that the costume designers did it for the movies so for me to say like my costumes are 100 accurate and it's exactly like the movie is stupid because i took shortcuts like i did the bands using puff paint and like i bought pre-made like dotted spandex so yeah it's stupid to say it's 100 accurate but and also it's just easier to have a reference like because when you're designing your original like designs like by the way they're again they're incredible like for me like i need reference photos i need to know okay yeah this is accurate this is like what it's supposed to look like if sometimes when i try to do original designs it doesn't like come out of my head like i want it to you know right i have a hard time with that yeah you've been like this has only happened like one other time and i'm only gonna brush past it because it like fixes itself immediately but like they're you will just like freeze for about like two seconds and then your audio will immediately catch up that's fine yeah that's what happens that's happened to you a couple times here oh really okay yeah um so do you you okay let me mark my shit off let me fucking let me not get ahead of myself so i've seen your invincible costume and i thought it was great i when i will i do this thing where like if i watch a superhero show i'll like i'll fucking hold that hero up on a pedestal for maybe about a month and i'll forget about it i'm currently doing that right now with the new batman movie that's just come out your invincible costume have you and i've had this thought a lot and like i'm surprised that i haven't seen a single person do it yet i know you based it off a certain person who did like a fan art mock-up of like an mcu invincible suit did you ever think to use metallic swimming goggles for the eyes so yeah that the whole ordeal with the fucking goggles my god people texting me for months on end about those goggles oh okay so i've thought about it i'd never so i looked up a bunch of different possibilities for those goggles like i looked up the swimming goggles i looked up like fucking clear spoons to use as the goggles and whatnot like i me and kj spidey shout out to kj spidey for always like giving me advice and stuff we looked up a bunch of different possibilities for the goggles and like none of them worked for me or i couldn't just spend money on money on these different possibilities you know like it's people kept on texting me like oh why didn't you do this why didn't you do that and i'm just like because i don't have just the money to like spend on different possibilities and have them fail over and over again right so like i so instead of just spending money i just try to come up with a like a creative solution and like it it worked for the time but i think sooner or later i'm gonna have to redo it unless i get cast as invincible for the live action boofy till then you know that would be pretty fucking cool yeah like a funny story about that so like there's a comment somewhere on my youtube channel about invincible and hit one guy like commented you know what johnny would make a great invincible if he lost weight and i was like fair enough i posted on my instagram that's fucking mean as shit i was like it's true that i'm working on lab k raw man dude fucking people who comment on the internet are fucking ruthless man yeah i actually got one cop though i still have this like saltiness about this one comment it's on my song zippers video for my for the soup this one guy he wanted to act all smart he was like you know you could just buy a four yard zipper so you don't have to sew it through zippers and i was like why the fuck would i need four yard zippers why the fuck would i need a four yard zipper that is i don't know if he meant meters or yards yards is 12 feet of a invisible zipper yeah like what like is this like a youtube comment because he could have gone back and edited it like there's there's a kind of an anonymity with youtube that i fucking hate because you're always questioning why these people did the things that they did like for example when someone comes along and like likes your video that's like oh cool somebody liked it and then somebody like comes along and dislikes it they could dislike it for any fucking reason that you'll never know about and it's like you'll go on any you'll go on any youtube video and it's like i gave five million dollars to this one homeless guy and i'm being completely genuine and i'm not at all doing it for clout i swear and then there's just four people who dislike it like what the fuck is wrong with you like what is the problem like every time i like go through like my videos just looking at like the analytics and stuff and i see a dislike i'm like why would this person dislike it like what is like what is their purpose in life where they had to like go watch my video and just say i didn't like it so i'm gonna hit this fucking button instead of just not hitting the like button you know i feel like not hitting the like button speaks enough and not like saying you know hey let me just hit this fucking dislike button i don't like it it just sucks because like you know there's a reason out there but you'll never fucking know what it is that sucks yeah fucking suck but what you what you got to realize about like people who shit on you or on the internet especially for like no fucking reason like i get people all the time who come in my comments and they just fucking take some fucking pro i don't know what the fucking medicine is but they drink that fucking pink shit that comes in the bottle and then they just shit all over me and it's like they have no reason they have no reason to do the things that they do especially when you dissect it online like what's the fucking exactly it's like when you when there's a difference between someone who has like i don't usually use the term hater because i think the term haters like heavily misused for people who have good criticism people with good criticism are not haters people with unfaithful criticism that will shit on you just to shit on you are just those are haters those are people who have like it's just some hidden trauma that you'll never know about they have such shitty lives that you'll never know about so they go in your comments and they're like your costume looks like dog shit and then they'll leave and it's like you just got to learn not to give a shit because you know what you're probably having more fun than they are even when you're upset about their comment i've just stopped taking it like because like i'd like to humiliate them more than just to ignore it so like if i get like a stupid comment or something i will literally like post it on my instagram be like hey look at this fucking idiot yeah just because like they're being a fucking idiot and they post it like publicly so they're expecting people to see it so like why not post repost it and like talk about how stupid they are yeah like i i i'm always down for shit like that and there's people that like oh that's harmful and i'm like dog it's never got that like it's they're being harmful first it was like yeah they fucking deserve that yeah yeah i do think like there is a serious problem with witch hunting but like sometimes sometimes it's just please make sure to like play out their name and profile yeah like of course don't go after them yeah no of course not but then like even i suffer from it sometimes we're like i'll be on tiktok and i'll see like someone posted a stupid fucking comment and it's like like like literally today literally just today i saw a cosplayer that was cosplaying um one of the greek gods i think it was the god of beauty i don't remember and someone posted a comment that was like such and such isn't black and i couldn't help myself i like ran back to the original video where they commented it's fucking irk me so bad and their comment is like oh the comment doesn't exist i fucking ran into that comment section i grabbed their at typed it out word for word and i was like come back here and get this fucking l right now right now and it's like man i hate people like that because like it irks me a little more because i am a person of color i'm half korean so like i've gotten i haven't actually gotten that because like i'm half white too i'm like i i guess i'm just not black or like muslim or brown like because they seem to go after them more than like asian people for some reason like cosplaying i'm just like you know they're just dressing up as their fucking favorite character their favorite character doesn't have to be a black person like you know yeah well that's his nuts uh subway spidey he did a photo shoot of him in like the classic peter parker like uh outfit with a sweater vest and like the button-up shirt he looked fucking amazing in that and like that was awesome i thought like he had like the 60s get awesome i'm like for people to like try to tell him say hey you're black you can't dress up as peter parker that's the fucking dumbest shit i've ever heard like he connects with peter parker more than miles more analyst so what i don't think i've ever seen him do a miles cosplay yeah man just like let the let the guy live you know what i mean like if the if the shit is drippy even if it's not fucking drippy even if it doesn't look cool why do you care that much like if the shit looks awesome then fuck off the only you like the only critique cosplayer like not critique i've had against a cosplayer was this he had no fault he basically had no followers and he was dressing up a spider man holding a gun just like posting instagram photos like i was like what the fuck this is a weird it was getting a little weird every post like him just holding guns and like different guns a spider man i was like i know there's that japanese spider man meme where he's like shooting but like that's a little it's just he's just a superior spider man it's fine yeah yeah that's the only like critique i had because like i'm kind of like i'm not against guns but i am so it was just odd for me to see that and like you know they're kids like following people and whatnot and you know it's just weird you know to see spider man holding a gun and like yeah it's just weird that's the only critique i've had against someone yeah do you okay so i know i know a lot of the time i talk about like costumes specifically with people who like mainly do costumes and shit but i want to talk about like spider man media and what you know i've recently have had like oh shit wait are we good okay awesome i've had like sort of a media burnout of spider man because like i i don't hide it anymore but i'm like i'm autistic like spider man is my special interest i live and breathe spider man i'm like a little fish in the bowl that you just have to drop like scraps of a spider man comic and every night you know i mean i don't give a shit right mm-hmm like and recently you know i've been spider man's been like my special interest on and off throughout my entire life like i switched over to like ray man when i was like maybe like 10 through 12 and then i'm back on the spider man beat again i'm sort of having like a burnout again what media do you suggest for people who maybe feel like they've seen all that there is to see about the character like if you had to show them like maybe one to five things to pull them back in what would those things be so i actually have an answer for this this is crazy um watch the japanese spider man show like actually that's a serious thing because like it's it's so different from the spider man character we know but it's still kind of has that morally good kind of thing and like it's it's maybe as fuck so you'll get a great laugh out of it because it was made in the 60s and whatnot but yeah so like check that out if anyone's feeling burnt out about it and then through that you can explore more japanese content with live action specifically called toku satsu through there they have power japanese power rangers which is known as super sentai you'll get a bunch of they've had i think they're on 46 seasons of like different power rangers standing back from the 70s so you can go down a rabbit hole in that and explore that and then another toku satsu series which is close to my heart and i love is common writer even though i don't really express it it's uh kind of like power rangers but not really it's more just like you'll have to watch it to understand it but it's also great so you'll go down through those rabbit holes for a while i think common writers on their 50th season right now so yeah you'll have 50 years with the content from toku satsu and whatnot but uh but for other spider-man related content uh fan films fan films are probably one of the greatest things to have ever existed because you know they're made by fans for fans you know they're not out here to make a profit they're solely just trying to either have fun making a movie about their favorite character or to get their favorite story out there a story that they created for others to enjoy like you know we talked about spider-man lotus a little bit and like i remember seeing the first trailer for that and i was like holy shit this is like just the music alone playing throughout the scenes got me emotional i was like this is going to be something special and like just the way the spider-man fan community came together to like raise how much money for their movie like was it a hundred thousand dollars something like that if you if you look at their indiegogo page i think it was like a hundred thousand but yeah they got them way more than they intended to for their budget and like they're truly making something special and like i could just tell from the trailers and like the casting call they had for the movie and like all the images they posted about the different suits and like it's fucking nuts and like that's what i kind of want to do uh next year uh with my spider-man fan film if i can get it together is like create something special and different because yeah um i think that those are the mainly things i can think about for like burnout it's just just different spider-man content made by different people oh yeah like i want i want to say this like one i don't know if i've mentioned this before i probably have but i'm just gonna in case i have mentioned it before i'm gonna mention it like once and then immediately move on the fucking casting for harry osborne was fucking spectacular he looks exactly like how they used to fucking draw like i saw him and i was like holy shit that has to be the most like accurate appearance casting i think i've ever seen literally i was like what the fuck he looks exactly like how i envisioned like harry it was like fucking nuts he looks fucking yeah right off the page they're doing so good with that film right now i can't wait for it this i love the suit the suit is like the suit is i know they don't like to compare it to like the movie suits and whatnot but you kind of have to it's just the perfect simplest translation to from comic to live action like yeah like i did overdo it they just did enough to modernize it and bring it to live action and it was just perfect that's fucking spider-man dude it is like you see it it just jumps out spider-man like i i think and like the movies would be there the movies really would be up there with lotus like because lotus like if you compare the the far like the and the fresh start suit or whatever the fuck they're calling it at the end of no way home to the the lotus suit there's only like one there's only like a few things that put the lotus suit above it and it's just the fact that they fucking weren't afraid to put the big stupid back logo on it come on like i fucking i was like i was like watching it in the film like in the film or in the cinema or whatever the fuck and i was like this is awesome this is cartoon fucking spider-man this is literally like right off the books i'm so happy i fuck i'm literally up in massachusetts i'm visiting my girlfriend and i'm like scrolling through instagram and i'm like it doesn't have the back logo on it and i was like my friends were like oh yeah it has the back logo that's in the front i was like what the fuck i was like almost a little upset because we were this close and i was like i'm not upset it's still a great car i love to nitpick it's a wonderful costume it's just like i don't know why they're so these are just like like there's yeah some design choices are just like i don't really like about that costume like how it has the this like the lines are from this oh yeah i always thought that was weird i don't like that it just looks too fucking weird i'm like the logos i hate i'm like that i'm i mean i like it i like it i'm not i'm only complaining a little bit but if there's one thing i do have to like because peter makes this costume by himself firm scratch right he's locked out of the stark assumably because it doesn't recognize him anymore because he's essentially been wiped from like the history why i didn't put a spoiler warning i'd like just watch watch the yet by now what the fuck i mean i didn't know i did see one guy in my comments that was like oh i don't have a car in the farthest cinema away from me is like this long i was like damn it kind of felt bad but like yeah anyway no i'm just kidding how did how did he get the blue lines on there like i genuinely want to fucking know this like because with like the tazen movies for the blue sections peter all peter has to fucking do is go over to fucking parallel life studios and fucking order like a fucking two logs of fabric that cost him like a 10 of his college tuition like he doesn't have to do all that much like all this lines and shit and i'm like how did he do that like i'm sitting here i'm genuinely sitting here thinking how he did this did he like take apart the far from home suit did he like dye it blue somehow he still has he still has that costume which is the whole ending is like a little like okay how did this happen but i still love the ending of it it's just like a little convoluted how he did the costume it's always a little convoluted yeah like i wish we got more turbies dude like the fucking urethane webbing yeah i always wish we like i love andrew's i love andrew's series of movies and one of my favorite things about him is that we get to see him make the suit and it's like yeah how because no because how does he get the golden emblem off the front if the stark tech doesn't recognize him anymore that thing is grafted onto there how the fuck did he get it off i guess that's why he just threw it away couldn't take it off it's such silliness it's like dog can i like i saw the sewing machine and i'm like yeah that's enough for me but i'm still gonna be up at night thinking about how the fuck he did that that's fucking bullshit like my only complaint is that i wish they strayed away from the far from home pattern and that's it that's my only complaint and the back logo obviously but otherwise fucking spectacular it is like they just kept it like a shiny blue spandex like a lot of people thought it was oh yeah just like the dot texture that would have been fine that's completely doable that's like okay yeah he could do that it's almost accurate too to like the comments because the way they shade the black yeah but yeah i don't know how he did that he just did it and then no because i want to because when this fucking movie finished i was like one of my one of my favorite things that people do is they'll fucking they will fucking rush to fucking like even if they don't have a clear image of this costume they will take shit from trailers and they will fucking make shit up and they will just throw it together on like even fucking rpc studios did this shit all they had to do was wait like a month after they finished like their version of the fresh start suit and they could have gotten fucking better reference photos they would have just they didn't even need to like see a full 360 all they would have needed to know is that it just uses the far from home lines and they literally would have had an accurate costume there's people who have already made far from home suits like cavin creations there are people who have made patterns and put them out there and it's like all of this is null and void now because you motherfuckers couldn't wait two minutes but then again i do kind of want to like shit on the movie because i love shitting on yeah it's just that it's like that thing where like they want to be the first to do it they want to get everything yeah all they had to do to do it and like get it out as soon as possible yeah like everything all they had to do is show us the rest of the costume instead of like hiding it and like like all we had to do is fucking see a 360 of the suit before peter jumps out the wind i know that's not i know that's a little too much to ask but like maybe show us better i don't know if they had it in cg or if they had like a fully realized costume but i just wish we fuck cg what all those it was fully cg even him jumping out the fucking costumes in that movie were cg all i expected him was jumping out the window to be not cg but that was cg i'm pretty sure that was cg what the fuck made a practical costume for that i don't i don't like a lot of the suits in that movie i love i love the the suit that you are showing in the back that that was great in the movie what i like what little fucking kid is gonna go to the store and buy like the black and gold so even i as a little kid if i saw that in the store i was like wow that's dog shit and then i would go home so ha take i actually like the black and gold suit the practical suit that they used on set they release on photos of it i like the practicality of that suit that they actually made it i hate that they covered it inside like shitty cgi and whatnot like the design's okay it's not really anything special but like just the way they because like in every spider-man movie like for toms they have a reason for why he has a new suit so like in homecoming he has the new stark suit because 20 stark gave it to him but then he takes it away he learns that it's being spider-man's not about the suit and he becomes spider-man in the homemade suit that's completely fine in far from home he has uh all the all the iron spider suits blah blah blah stark suit and then he gets the stealth suit because he can't be recognized as spider-man there fine he makes the upgraded suit at the end completely fine he's becoming his own spider-man but in no way home his spider-man suits are literally just like it's that one it's just this suit but like different in yeah it's like inside out or has something added on top it fucking annoys me like compared to like the cup of water of reasonings they just give you a little drop like peter just fucking got paint thrown on him in the middle of the street like what the fuck also why couldn't it may rush it before yeah like also why how the fuck is he wearing this thing when it has like tons of wires and shit on the inside like like personally when i have when i'm fucking putting on a costume and it has like a loose thread or something and i'll put on it's my fingers get caught in shit and it's like why is he how how how and it's like and how is he washing it too and not getting electrocuted like i don't understand it's like i get it's waterproof too because like you know he got dunked in the stark leg or he got dunked in the lake taking out my start his waterproof obviously but like how the fuck does he fucking wear this shit when there's so much wires in it and how how can you not see that through the suit with like outlines and shit i don't know man like it's yeah i'm glad i got rid of it but yeah yeah it's just weird like they and like the integrated suit i'm just not a fan of i don't like it i'm only a fan of like the torso part literally just up to the belt line to the neck i'm a fan of the arms the legs i think are dog shit yeah like i don't like it i think honestly i saw you mentioned like the gold parts how it doesn't match up like to compare to the rest of the suit right you mentioned that like it's just a weird design detail and i was like yeah that does look fucking weird but i hate that i was like the last suit in the movie i wish he'd just stayed in this suit yeah i because there's a little bit of hang time between like the end of far from home and the the the fight with the mysterio i feel like you could have easily just been like oh peter made like a few new suits before this movie and then he fucking goes in his room and he's like oh i need this suit just given a literal any other explanation like we literally the machine that creates all the cures and stuff is there and the fucking room is staying at could need not have made like an electro proof suit yeah and i i've said this before and i'll say it again we really saw andrew garfield and toby maguire come back in their iconic costumes while tom is running around in the most fucking dog shit suit i've ever fucking seen and it makes me a little sad and it's entirely cg too like which makes it suck even more like i know we have the technology now but like doesn't mean we have to cover up fucking tom holland and cg like it sucks like and that's what the movie's now yeah and i mean we don't get me wrong i i shit because i love to shit but this movie is still pretty good it's it's more than pretty good it's it's awesome still doesn't be spider-verse though and i will fucking i will i will fight tooth and fucking nail for that movie i have to defend that movie all the goddamn time i am always that movie is literally a cinematic masterpiece like so fucking good and people will just dismiss it immediately because it's animated because it made it oh my god i hate that literally i had a conversation with one of my teachers and back in my high school i'm friends i was friends with their daughter and like we were talking and i asked them like hey did you see the new spider-man movie and they're like oh no it was animated so we just dismissed it and i'm like are you fucking kidding me it's like the best one i know i wish i like i went to that movie with my ex at the time or like my girlfriend at the time because like she doesn't like superhero movies i always say i wish you came along with that so she could see that but like yeah we ended up breaking up so literally matter yeah that's how it is man no but i'm saying fucking oh you don't like because it's animated well you don't want to you don't you don't know what else is animated fucking spider-man no way home that shit's animated so is every other tom holland movie fuck you you fucking little sweaty little nerd that's like oh it's animated like you can see it shut up shut up and watch your cinema much more with like animation creativity that goes into it it's just amazing like yeah that's what every time you watch it you recognize something new about the animation details it's amazing fucking spectacular i love that i'm so excited for the sequel and again guys i'm gonna do my designated complaining about things that are really good why doesn't the fucking stripe that goes down the side of miles costume go all the way down to the boot that is like that makes me upset new design honestly i like kept the original design but i understand you gotta change things up so they know it's different i do wish we had more time with the with the suit miles where it's in the spider yeah but i still like this new one i just i just wish the fucking line did he run out like come on fuck the spray pick and ran out he's like shit oh wow wow just leave it there fuck man no but i i like the new suit i really do i like that i'm pretty sure the spider logo is upside down on the on the back but i'm gonna i'm gonna hand something to all my spider man miles morales like curators who like make miles shit a really cool thing i like to do on miles morales's costumes i have a good example here right the logo logo is upside down it's upside down why is it upside down because one of the most iconic things miles has ever done is fucking like jump upside down from that fucking building and it's a reference it's a reference to the what's up danger scene that's why on almost every single miles suit i have ever designed the logo is upside down because it's like that's a good reference i actually want to get that scene tattooed on my arm like that's right it's just so good and like spider versus always left out too because you see all these like edits where like they cross over all the films and they're like oh the we're gonna edit all the spider man movies together and i'm like you didn't fucking edit all the spider man movies together because you fucking forgot literally it's like spider versus erasure man it's crazy it makes me upset man like i don't care if it's not live action it is literally the best film to understand spider man like and it doesn't in the main like character isn't even peter parker it's literally miles and like the way they did that it was amazing and like even the peter parker you get in that movie this is really fucking good like there's sort of this quiet i love pete i love yes it's so good he's sue it like he's like borderline suicidal in that movie he's willing to like kill himself not because he wants to save the multiverse but just because he wants it to be over it's oh i have this weird attraction now to like depressing characters so like peter b parker uh robber patinson's batman invincible in the comics like they all just have sort of miserable lives and it's just like so fantastic to see uh it's so good i i remember your peter b parker suit you don't really post about that do you like do you ever do you ever like wear it anymore i've wanted a couple times just to see if it still fits but after i filmed the movie last year i kind of gained a little weight just because i don't know i had a depressive episode i guess yeah so i gained weight and like i was 150 before shooting the movie and then i jumped to like 180 just because i kept on eating food and not working out so i'm on the course of losing it i'm back to like 178 so i'm slowly losing the weight so i can help play fit in the costumes again oh i still love that suit uh i don't know if you know the backstory about that did i ever say the backstory i when i was doing research for like getting questions for you i don't think i i just saw i was like oh that's good and then i jumped around but is there any backstory that's interesting uh so you froze i didn't hear what you said oh yeah no but like what is the what is the backstory so the backstory behind the Into the Spiderverse Peter B Parker costume was that um my video communications teacher in high school he uh is a big family um with him uh he he usually has somebody dressed up as Santa Claus for his kids you know he has uh still some young kids um you know and he has somebody every year just with Santa Claus bring them gifts like a week before Christmas and that year he had asked me to dress up as Spider-Man because uh his youngest adopted son uh apparently like Spider-Man uh so he asked me to dress up as Spider-Man with a Santa hat and a sack of gifts to give them and i did that for him i and i didn't want to just put on like an old suit for this occasion and i wanted to make Peter B Parker costume so i made it real quick in like a week and yeah a fast turnaround time so then i and i just uh went to his house and his his youngest adopted son he was wearing a symbiote Spider-Man hoodie little kid and then he was like so in awe of me like um like he was just shocked looking at me and then his his mom like his wife was like uh i forgot his name but like yeah you want to say something to him and he was like happy Thanksgiving and everyone was just laughing and they're like no Merry Christmas yeah so i sat there in his house for a little bit um just watching them open their presents and you know uh they sat on my lap just like just for photos and stuff and the funny thing is i'm friends with his son who's my age and i saw him like one of his daughters opened the door and i saw uh his son my age uh at the door and he was like oh my god when he saw me and i was just like yep it's me it was one of the greatest nights of my life just to see because like i'm forever grateful for him because he's what got me into filmmaking so like i was happy to do it for him and then his wife wrote me a little card saying thank you and like i still have that card oh yeah it was one of the best feelings all right we're kind of wrapping up on our hour here i don't know if i want to try i'm gonna try to do something new i don't is there now we don't need to shoot do you have do you have anyone you would like to see come i'm not saying that like whatever okay whatever johnny says you guys shouldn't go fucking clamor to whoever johnny says and be like you need to go get on the thing right now like don't okay johnny who would you personally like to see come on next i'm trying to like think of somebody who could like possibly do it um like i would like to see gavin come on here and talk about uh lotus with you you know what that rule you know what that rule i just said that rule i just said forget that shit bother gavin go bark up it no i'm kidding but like yeah i would like to see um probably one of the people who got me into spider-man cosplay like um i don't know if you know him but his name his handle on instagram is equinox cosplay uh he's one of the very first people i ever like saw do spider-man cosplay he's the first person i followed on instagram and he was great but he's kind of retired cosplaying now so you might have a hard time getting handled to him oh but uh another person would be vigilante cosplay he's another person who got me into it and he probably can do it okay one more thing i forgot about this i asked people to send in questions i keep fucking forgetting okay i have i had i had a few people send me in questions um so i'm gonna run through these really quickly we're gonna do like a little lightning round what was your favorite project to work on this comes from cooked bunny cosplay my favorite one probably invincible i think i like that one it was very simple just sewing it real quick and yeah that was my favorite one and this is from kate veiled dance cause uh what do you need from a this is very weirdly typed out what do you need from a suit in a cosplay aka posing versus b film aka movement gussets vents degree of fabric stretch color vibrancy texture etc what is the most important in a suit versus the least important this is a very fucking loaded question jesus christ okay i think about that uh most important is i would say comfortability but you're never comfortable in cosplay i would just say the most uh important part is that you can take off the mask anytime you can because it gets hot in there especially if you're wearing a face shell so that's the most important and least important i guess is um accuracy i'm just gonna say that right now like i know a lot of people are stickler for accuracy especially me but honestly like you don't really need it to enjoy cosplaying a spider man i think that's i think that's it honestly i think that's it um i don't remember if i had anybody else ask any questions but i think that's it that this was this was johnny michael's i'm obviously gonna put his all his shits as much as i can find in the description of this video and one more thing before we wrap it up what's your favorite onscreen spider man i tend to do this every time and i guess it's gonna be so are we talking about live action or can we just say anyone whatever you want man because i break that rule all the time because like you know what we get more interesting answers this way give me the televisions so i'm gonna say japanese spider man or uh spectacular spider man those are my favorite honestly yeah those are pretty good yeah i don't know what i expected that i'd like like when you fucking you know i'm gonna open up this answer then i'm gonna open up this answer forever whenever i ask it i'm gonna be like what's your favorite spider man of all time but yeah like your favorite iteration like just because someone might say the indian spider man oh yeah man i forget about him he had like a little existential crisis during my spider game it's like do i matter or whatever and it's like yeah he's gonna be in across the spider so oh yeah yeah i'm excited for that but anyway thank you all for for
