#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), who ends up better than at the start of the film, and who ends up worse?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, characters' outcomes are defined by their personal growth, relationships, and literal survival.

Who Ends Up Better Than at the Start

1. Miles Morales

Start: Miles is a struggling, awkward teenager who feels out of place at his new elite school. He is at odds with his father's expectations and lacks confidence in his own artistic and physical abilities.
End: He has fully embraced his identity as the "one and only" Spider-Man of his universe. He has mastered his unique powers (camouflage and venom strike), reconciled with his father, and found a community of friends across the multiverse who truly understand him. He finishes the film with a newfound sense of purpose and self-assurance.

2. Peter B. Parker

Start: He is a "washed-up" version of Spider-Man who has hit rock bottom. He is divorced from Mary Jane, grieving the death of Aunt May, out of shape, and cynical about heroism. He initially helps Miles only because he wants to go home.
End: Mentoring Miles reignites his passion for life and heroism. He overcomes his fear of commitment and fatherhood (symbolized by his reluctance to have kids with MJ). The film ends with him returning to his dimension with a bouquet of flowers, ready to fix his marriage and try again.

3. Gwen Stacy

Start: Guarded and isolated, Gwen lives by a strict rule of not making friends after the death of her universe’s Peter Parker. She is emotionally "closed for business" to avoid further pain.
End: By the finale, she has let her guard down. She finds a true peer in Miles and forms a genuine bond with the other Spider-People. The final scene implies she has found a way to maintain her friendship with Miles across dimensions, ending her cycle of isolation.

4. Jefferson Davis (Miles' Father)

Start: Jefferson is a stern police officer who views Spider-Man as a lawless menace. His relationship with Miles is strained by a lack of communication and his disapproval of Miles' graffiti art.
End: Though he loses his brother, Jefferson undergoes a massive shift in perspective. He publicly acknowledges Spider-Man as a hero and, more importantly, shares a vulnerable moment with Miles (through a door), telling him he loves him and believes in him. Their bond is the strongest it has ever been.

5. The Multiversal Spiders (Spider-Ham, Noir, Peni Parker)

Start: They are "glitching" and slowly dying in Miles' world, far from home and essentially stuck in a battle they didn't start.
End: They return to their respective homes with their glitching cured. They leave with new allies and a renewed sense that they aren't alone in their struggles as Spider-Man.

Who Ends Up Worse Than at the Start

1. Wilson Fisk (Kingpin)

Start: Kingpin is the all-powerful ruler of the New York underworld. He has the resources to build a multi-billion dollar supercollider and is driven by the hope of "retrieving" his lost wife and son from another dimension.
End: His plan is a total failure. Not only does he see alternate versions of his family reject him in horror, but he also loses his empire. He is defeated by a "rookie" Spider-Man, arrested by the police (including Jefferson Davis), and exposed for the murder of the original Peter Parker and Aaron Davis.

2. Uncle Aaron (The Prowler)

Start: Aaron is a charismatic, cool uncle who serves as Miles' primary confidant. Secretly, he is a high-level enforcer for Kingpin, living a dangerous but successful double life.
End: He ends up dead. He suffers the ultimate tragedy of discovering he has been hunting his own nephew. When he refuses to kill Miles, Kingpin murders him. He dies in a cold alleyway, leaving Miles with a lifetime of grief and guilt.

3. Peter Parker (Earth-1610 / "Perfect" Peter)

Start: He is the ultimate hero—beloved by NYC, happily married, and at the peak of his powers.
End: He dies within the first act. He is brutally murdered by Kingpin while trying to save the city. While his legacy inspires Miles, his personal story ends in tragedy, leaving behind a grieving Aunt May and Mary Jane.

4. Olivia Octavius (Doc Ock)

Start: She is the lead scientist at Alchemax, successfully manipulating the multiverse and working for the most powerful man in the city.
End: Her life’s work—the collider—is vaporized. During the final battle, she is hit by a truck (literally) and is presumably arrested or forced into hiding, having lost her status, her research, and her employer's protection.
