Reflecting On Change



Hey there people of the internet it's your old friend Anthony here, and today I have something special for you. I am reflecting on change today and my favorite character of all time has changed a lot in the past and his name is SPIDER-MAN.

Here are some of the models for Spider-Man from oldest to newest.

Air Date: September 9th 1967- June 14th 1970
Had 3 seasons and 52 episodes










Spider-Man Live Action Film Trilogy 2002-2007
Had 3 movies and 5 main villains


  • Green Goblin (2002)
  • Doc Ock (2004)
  • Venom (2007)
  • The New Goblin (2007)
  • The Sandman (2007)














The Amazing Spider-Man Live Action Films
Had 2 movies and 3 main villain and 1 supporting character villain.

  • Lizard (2012)
  • Electro (2014)
  • Green Goblin (2014)
  • The Rhino (Supporting Character) (2014)















PROS AND CONS 

 1967 cartoon Spider-Man

Pros


  • Simple
  • Easy to make and produce
  • Colorful
  • Classic
  • Unique 
  • Original
  • Quality (Back then)
Cons

  • Repeated images
  • Acting is not at it's best

Sam Raimi's 2002-2007 Spider-Man Trilogy

Pros
  • Good actors
  • Popular Spider-Man villains
  • The special effects were very impressive
  • They had great marketing
  • There wasn't a lot of product placement 
  • Villains had enough development  (2001 and 2004) (The first and second film only)
  • The costumes were unique 
Cons

  • Characters underdeveloped (2007) (The third film)
  • The plot was very predictable
  • Most films had the exact same plot
Peter Parker struggles with his powers
Peter Parker has girl troubles 
Peter Parker is always somehow connected to the villain
  • The Green Goblin was his best friends dad
  • Doc Ock was his personal Role Model and Mentor
  • The SandMan was his uncles killer
  • The New Goblin was his best friend
  • Venom was his rival in the Daily Bugle to see who could get better pictures of Spider-Man
Then the main villain would take M.J away
He would go to save her
They would fight
Peter would save M.J
Then the villain would somehow kill himself


The Amazing Spider-Man films (2012 and 2014)

Pros

  • Modern
  • It follows the comics story line
  • Suit like the comics (TASM2) (2014)
  • Different then the other Spider-Man movies (The ones in 2002-2007)
  • 3 new villains
  • Big cast
  • Original story (TASM1) (2012)
  • Special effects
  • Marketing was great
  • Joined the MCU
The MCU is the Marvel movie universe, that means he can be in movies with other superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, and The Avengers. The first MCU film he will be in is Captain America: Civil War. The film comes out May 6th, 2016.

The reason Spider-Man isn't on it is because they haven't announced the actor who will be playing him yet but, have confirmed he will be in the film.

Cons

  • Product Placement
  • Suit is way too different and doesn't represent any suit he has worn in recent times
  • Second movie had too many villains and not enough time to properly develop them (Story wise)
  • The trailers mis-lead you (TASM2) (2014)
They constantly showed the famous comic villain Rhino in the trailers and made it look like they were going to fight but, they fought for like 5 minutes and the Rhino wasn't even in his suit for like 4 minutes and 30 seconds of it.


Comparison Chart (TASM 1 AND 2 COMPARED TO THE 1967 CARTOON)

  • Family friendly
  • Had famous Spider-Man villains
  • They both had comic book characters
  • Appealed to all ages
  • Very colorful
  • They both ended
  • They were both focused on Spider-Man
5 Facts About The Wall Crawler


1.Marvel brought Spider-Man back into the MCU February 9th 2015.

2.Sony owns movie rights to Spider-Man

3.Michael Jackson wanted to play Spider-Man in 2002 and even tried to buy Marvel but, they declined.

4.For TASM2 they tried making it upbeat and fun for  the family (Like Disney's "The Avengers")

5.In the new Spider-Man films (TASM1 AND TASM 2) They followed the comic storyline, on the other hand in the old Spider-Man films (2002-2007) they made a new storyline and didn't follow the comics.
