Excelsior! We're dropping back in to Marvel's New York for an extended look at the NPC design in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man 2 (2023). Easter Eggs! Weird dialogue! Product placement! And a heap of cool details galore... all enhanced through one of the best photo modes in the biz.

A huge thank you to the following translators, who deciphered the NPC dialogue that's spoken in other languages:
* Spanish: Stradmire (@Stradmire)
* Italian: u/TomSFox, u/Leonardo-Saponara, Max,
* German: u/xia_yang, u/tutnichtkleben, Max
* Mandarin: Rui Zhang
* Korean: u/igemoko
* Japanese: Nil Nilgiree (@nil-nilgiree-7965 )
* Russian: The Book of Ive (@thebookofive )

* Opening Titles: 0:00 - 0:40
* NPCs of New York: 0:41 - 42:08
* Outro: 42:09 - 43:11

BEHIND THE SCENES:

-- For translations, I reached out to some friends from a wide range of sources -- as well as the popular Subreddit "r/translator." I'm extremely thankful to everyone who helped out with that section. Please do note that some of my sources had slightly different interpretations of some of these lines -- so feel free to chime in if you do as well!

-- I accidentally put the wrong outro file in at the end -- so I, uh, neglected to plug my Ko-Fi in the video lol
