There are always fans who vehemently defend Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Sony’s second attempt at the web-slinger’s movie adaptation was widely considered inferior to Sam Raimi’s and MCU movies. However, the chemistry between the lead characters stood out in the film and one of Emma Stone’s mistakes in the film proves it.

The Poor Things actress and Garfield were romantically involved in real life at that time which was one of the reasons why the romance clicked with the audiences. Contrary to the earlier Spider-Man films, Gwen Stacy was made the lead opposite Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.

Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s premiere properties, one that was out of Marvel’s Studios’ hands until 2016. Still having the split the difference with Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios has had the opportunity to capitalize on the IP by incorporating the character into their shared universe. However, this has caused the MCU depiction to be just one iteration of the multiple versions of the character across all media.
Tom Holland as Spider-Man
Tom Holland already has to compete with the Spider-Verse animated films being helmed by Sony, which feature another version of Peter Parker and has a host of Spider-People at its disposal to throw at the audience. It now seems that Holland might have more competition with being Spider-Man, after the head writer for Spider-Man: The Animated Series has revealed how ready he is to jump back into action.

X-Men: The Animated Series is officially returning, much to the delight of fans. While DC animation had dominated the previous few decades with hits like Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond, Batman: The Animated Series, and Superman: The Animated Series, Marvel had its fair share of cultural and sleeper hits, like Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Spider-Man: The Animated Series, along with the aforementioned X-Men series which has been rebranded as X-Men ’97.

Before the dawn of the Millennium, the prospect of a live-action Spider-Man meant Nicholas Hammond doing things slowly with a lot of string. The short-lived 1970s Spider-Man TV show perfectly illustrated that non-animated Spidey antics weren’t really achievable, although several – from James Cameron to Albert Pyun – tried to get projects spinning. But then came the arrival of CGI, and anything was possible…

Zendaya is now regarded as one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars. However, when Marvel announced the actor would play a pivotal role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, toxic fans of the series voiced their racially inflected anger about the decision. Zendaya received support from many people, notably Peter Parker himself. Before Homecoming’s release, Tom Holland praised his co-star’s abilities as an actor and as a woman whom nonsensical detractors couldn’t deter.

While most know her as Buffy, few can forget Sarah Michelle Gellar’s role as Daphne Blake in the ’00s live-action Scooby-Doo franchise. The 2002 movies also starred Gellar’s real-life husband, Freddie Prinze Jr as Fred Jones, Linda Cardellini as Velma Dinkley, and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers. Recently, the actor revealed her character and Cardellini’s were supposed to kiss in the film. And that’s not all.

In 2023, Andy Cohen had Gellar as a guest on Watch What Happens Live. A virtual audience member asked the star if it was true that the original version of the Scooby-Doo movie showcased a relationship between the Daphne and Velma characters “on the side”

"Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse" is set to take animation to a whole new level this summer, pushing the boundaries of not just Spider-Man stories but of storytelling itself. That's great for fans of the character because when I was a kid, aside from the comics, all we had was one excellent Fox Kids cartoon. In 1994, there were no Tim Burton-directed blockbusters to help bolster the popularity of Spider-Man. In fact, there were no major movies at all that featured the web-slinger. "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," which ran from 1994–1998, was the definitive version of the character for many a '90s kid.
Headed by showrunner John Semper, the 65 episodes managed to respect classic Spidey stories while updating things for the '90s. Like the "X-Men" animated series, it had a killer theme song, and voice artist Chris Barnes' Peter Parker/Spider-Man was perfectly pitched. On top of that, the TV...

The concept of the super soldier has become a common (if not overused) conceit in the Marvel Universe — not only in the comics, but in its cinematic iteration as well. Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Serum is probably best known as the stuff that transformed Steve Rogers into Captain America. Notably, Erskine's formula died with him, making Cap the only super soldier alive — at least for the moment. Countless tried to recreate its effects, spawning multiple heroes and villains in the process. A few writers took a page from that book in adapting the comics for Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Characters that previously had little to do with the serum were suddenly made into super soldiers. With certain characters, like Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, it absolutely works. But the sheer influx of characters with similar origins has kind of taken the novelty out of it since.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the Polydor boardroom when the suits hear this exceptional debut from Raye. I like to picture jaws dropping so hard and fast they shatter the corporate table that had been her glass ceiling for so long. Rachel Keen was signed to the label for six years, during which she was asked to churn out formulaic dance hits. Meanwhile, the songs she wrote from the heart were either left to collect dust or rejigged for other artists. In 2021, she tweeted about her distress and left Polydor to make My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist. And you can feel the adrenalin rush of anger, joy and freedom pulsing through every one of the record’s 13 invigorating tracks.
If you heard the advance single “Hard Out Here”, you’ll be familiar with the exhilarating sound of a woman calling out those who have treated her badly.

Comics have some incredibly iconic couples: Spider-Man and Mary Jane, Nightwing and Batgirl, Reed Richards and Sue Storm, Superman and Lana Lang ... wait a minute, that last one isn't right. Even those only tangentially familiar with Superman know that Lois Lane is his one and only. That wasn't, however, the case for Clark Kent, who fell for Lana long before meeting his future wife. So, when creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar went about telling the story of Clark's (Tom Welling) younger days in "Smallville," it was Lana and not Lois who initially stole his heart. This is not to say the writers were bound by Superman's already dense mythology, because the duo added some pretty exciting new developments to the mix, most notably making Clark's burgeoning friendship with young Lex Luthor (a brilliant Michael Rosenbaum) serve as a core element of the series.

The new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has arrived and to quote a certain webbed pigilante, “It Can get weirder!” The previous movie gave us seven different Spider-folk with two more popping up in the post-credits. While we know that this sequel will include a take on Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, and even the Spider-Man of the 1970s Japanese TV series, the new trailer bombards us with dozens upon dozens of Spider-Men.
Some of them are just random color schemes and designs. Others are deep cuts to the Marvel multiverse or at least appear to be obscure references to either Spider-Man variants or phases. Here are some that we noticed.

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was truly a unique film. The 2018 film managed not only to be one of the best "Spider-Man" movies of all time, and one of the best movies of its year, but it was an animated movie that changed the game, bringing about a wave of movies unafraid to explore highly-stylized visuals rather than imitate Disney's hyper-realism.
The landscape is vastly different now. There was hype around the first "Spider-Verse" movie, for sure, but less so than with other "Spider-Man" theatrical films, what with it being about a recent, relatively lesser-known version of the title character. That's no longer the case with "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," the first of two sequels to Miles Morales' highly-successful and Oscar-winning introduction to the big screen.

Peter B. Parker Has Become A Dad In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, And That Sounds About Right
The 2018 animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, was slick and stylish in ways that few big-budget animated films are. Affecting a dazzling color palate and an exaggerated comic book panel aesthetic, "Into the Spider-Verse" took what could have been an ordinary superhero story and infused it with new life. The story follows awkward teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as he's bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him superpowers. Naturally, he ends up on an adventure with multiple Spider-folks from different dimensions, and a large portion of "Spider-Verse" is devoted to Miles being mentored by a middle-aged, burned-out Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson).
"Into the Spider-Verse" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, swept the Annies, and garnered endless accolades besides. It remains one of the better superhero films of the last 20 years.

There are few unmade movies in history that make us wonder what could have been quite like Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 4." The filmmaker had intended to reunite with Tobey Maguire one more time following the disappointment of "Spider-Man 3." In the end, creative differences got in the way and Sony went with a reboot, giving us "The Amazing Spider-Man" with Andrew Garfield in 2012.
Interestingly though, one of the greatest "Spider-Man" movies ever made actually shares a little bit of DNA with Raimi's unrealized vision. I recently spoke with concept artist Jeff Henderson, who worked on "Spider-Man 4" before it was scrapped. During our conversation, Henderson revealed that there was a scene being cooked up for Raimi's film that actually mirrors a key scene from 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."
The scene in question takes place after Peter Parker dies, and we see Mary Jane Watson delivering an emotional speech to New York City,...

This post contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Version
For its detractors, Spider-Man: No Way Home is less a movie and more two hours of fan service. These viewers argued that cameos from Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus, Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin, and Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as alternate reality Spider-Men drove the narrative to the detriment of the actual story. It’s safe to say that these critics probably won’t be shelling out the cash to see Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Version when it comes to theaters this weekend. But if they did, they’d get a better look at the film’s stakes.
According to leaks released by Instagram user Marvel Movies (via Comicbook), one of the added scenes shows Betty Brant, the young reporter played by Angourie Rice, completing her last report for Midtown Academy’s in-school program.

Marvel’s Spider-Man used to be one of Sony’s best PlayStation 4/5 exclusive titles, but on August 12, 2022, the game was finally ported to PC. Not only did that port let PC gamers play the incredible base game, but it also allowed longtime PC gaming fans to do what they’ve been wanting to do since the game launched in 2018: mod the ever-living heck out of it.
Mods, not to be confused with hacks or cheats, are fan-developed alterations/additions to a game. They can be as small as a simple unofficial cosmetic or as large as the addition of entirely new game mechanics. Some players might scoff at the concept of adding an easy mode to Elden Ring or improving vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077, but mods are an essential part of the PC gaming scene as well as one of the best reasons to own a gaming PC in the first place.

The Amazing Spider-Man movies were practically born to fail. The genesis of the first movie—where we would watch another Peter Parker origin story—was already deemed a bad idea among many fans when it was announced, and Sony didn’t change any minds over the next few years. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a mess and while it made money, it didn’t make the kind of money Sony wanted and all the big plans for a sequel and beyond fizzled. Next thing you know, there’s a Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he has his own Disneyland ride. The Marc Webb era of cinematic Spider-Man is thus a doomed duology sandwiched in-between the iconic Raimi Trilogy and the one who gets to hang out in the world-conquering superhero film franchise.
