The Adorable Reason Why Spider-Man is Called Spider-Man (Relatable Heroes)

[@creeperslayer241]

I do enjoy that they have kinda referenced the hate of spiders in spidermans comic. Obviously his villains talk about crushing him like a bug and all that, but my favourite quote is when he has to beat a thug who has a hostage. "What are you doing?" "I'm summoning them. I'm summoning the spiders. Because I'm SPIDER-MAN!" And, understandably, the thug surrenders. Because fuck that.

[@diegobrando3409]

He also had a moment in the comics where he lost his voice, and still went out fighting crime. Being silent made him so intimidating to the crooks that one started to have a nervous break down while Spider-Man just slowly approached him and he just dropped to the ground begging Spider-Man not hurt him. When asked about the sudden change in character he whisper "I've been having issues with my throat". So that that means Spider-Man's big pointed almost cartoony eyes only look friendly when he is quiping and making friendly small talk, when he is just beating your buddies senseless one by one and fixes his pointy insect like eyes on you he is just as scary as Batman can be.

[@IIDynamoDuckII]

didn't Stan Lee say the reason he wanted Spider-man to wear a full mask was because with his face fully covered he could practically be anyone, you couldn't see his age or race so it made him more relatable to everyone, everyone could imagine being Spider-man and that was very important to him because Spider-man was for everyone. what a dude, RIP Stan Lee

[@Infamous1892]

Apparently Brain Michael Bendis felt he could do a better job than Stan Lee.

[@cybrid37]

Spider-Man also wears a mask so that his enemies dont see his fear when he is fighting them. Its probably not Stan Lee's original intention, but I freakin love whoever added that idea into the lore. It makes sense. For all his quips and bravado, Spider-Man is still Peter Parker. He's still human. He is still afraid. When you have to go up against the likes of the Sinister Six, Symbiotes, Inheritors etc on a regular basis, any fight could easily be your last.

[@bbqseitan7106]

Stan Lee was an incredible progressive way ahead of his time

[@Pokemaster-wg9gx]

That feel when people try to say he was racist for not wanting to change existing characters races and saying make new characters instead of reskinning old ones to apply to specific groups, you can see why he would be upset if he meant Spiderman for everyone then a specific group tries to claim him

[@Charolette21]

The other thing about Thor in Endgame I liked was that not having him be ripped again also made him look MORE like a Norse God. The braids in his hair, his bulky body, and his wielding an ax and a hammer.

[@PaulGuy]

I also feel like the image we've seen of Hemsworth training could be about Thor super overcompensating for what happened in IW/Endgame, and getting mega jacked as some form of PTSD management. A subplot for character development about his inability to accept his mortal limitations adds so much to the character.

[@Pokemaster-wg9gx]

I always thought combat based norse gods like thor would be more the looks a bit stocky but is mostly muscle type or like how heavy lifters keep a bit of fat as cushioning

[@sev1120]

​@@Pokemaster-wg9gx Thor is also one of the most prolific drunks in Norse mythology (and there's a slight reference in the first Thor movie where he calls for "Another" before tossing an empty cup on the ground) Tall, and muscular, sure. But that muscle would be underneath a few layers of fat, because the diet would contain a lot of calorie-dense foods, especially the portions that are shown off in Asgardian banquet halls.

[@TheKyrix82]

I think the Batman line about Superman was more along the lines of "When you see him doing the things he does, it's hard not to think of him as a god. We are so fortunate that he never sees it that way" which I think is far more powerful of a statement. The idea that Kal El, the Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, the man Ra's Al Ghul refers to as 'Icon', feels deep down that his true self is Clark Kent, the clutzy, nerdy reporter from Smallville. This man is outpaced only by speedsters like the Flash and still shows up late, because he WANTS to have trouble getting a cab, or be stuck in traffic, not to fly off like some divine being and show up on time every time.

This makes me think of the x-force character "Strong Guy", who in the comics is a giant joke-cracking juggernaut.

And he cracks jokes as a defense mechanism to hide the pain so his friends dont worry about him.

A line that became much more relevant this past year

[@Infamous1892]

I find it funny how Miles Morales tag line is "Be yourself" while he leeches off Peter Parker's life. It's also becoming clear that people didn't pay attention to Peter Parker's life.

Spider-man has always been my favorite hero. I was obsessed as a child. I'm still kind of obsessed. The character was a major part of my childhood, and influenced who I am today, including a passion for science/engineering. Just wanted to share my love for the hero, as I hardly get to talk about it anymore.

[@Y2Jerms]

Thank you for talking about the thor staying fat thing!! I keep seeing how he gets buff again at the end and I kept saying he didnt.

[@ShmuckLord385]

To be fair, main spider man wasn't a teen for very long, and became struggling young adult in college and stuff, ultimate Spidey though....

[@queenannsrevenge100]

The scene at 9:00 is a direct homage to the comic books (Spider-man #33) - one of my favorite moments from the old comics

I love the conversation at the end talking about Superman being "human". It's the reason why I really can't get into the DCCU is because everyone constantly wants to portray Superman as this fish out of water character who doesn't belong here, but that's not who superman was, he was sent here as a baby, he's effectively an Earthling with special powers, just like any of the other earthlings with special powers, and to treat him like a fish out of water alienates us(ironically) from the character.

8:53 Also the part in TASM1 when he says it to the guy whose kid he saves on the bridge🔥 I loved that scene💯

[@wenceFB21]

I love the constants shots at Snyder in the final section xd

[@franciscoperalta6236]

Would recommend also watching a video on Spider-Man titled “Lesson of Heroism” published on IGN but created by Kapptainkristian 4 years ago 😁.

[@BTTheMontanaKing]

another topic of humanity that comes to my mind is the conversation between Master Chief and Captian Lasky at the end of Halo 4. They talk about being a good soldier basically is no different from being a machine and Lasky reminds him that they all are human.

[@izanagiace6122]

Tom looks like a young peter and all but Tobey will always be my favorite

[@KionKamon]

The more I find out about Spider-Man, the more I like him. He’s quickly becoming my favorite hero. A close second for me is the Batman of the future, Terry McGinnis who is another teenage hero. My favorite iteration of Bruce Wayne as Batman comes from the DCAU from the 90s to early/mid 2000s. That scene with Ace in Justice League Unlimited is great. But all of that said, Spider-Man is so loved, because he always tries to do what is right no matter what

[@Ineedgames]

I hate when people say Fat Thor ruins his character, and that being fat some how makes him not worthy. Like have these movies not taught them anything about what makes a person a hero?

[@JamieStagg]

No the movies had no lesons exept woke garbage... and pandering...its no wonder every one thought depressed thor wouldn't be worthy it's the way of the world blame people and treat them like garbage when they are down

[@xainreaper6458]

@@JamieStagg Still using 'woke' unironically is hilarious lol.

[@JamieStagg]

@@xainreaper6458 the irony isnt* lost on me trust me

[@Linklex7]

But the problem is Fat Thor really just exists for jokes. Nothing else. It did ruin the movie.

[@Ineedgames]

@@JamieStagg You literally just proved my point, moron.

[@ryanrasmussen2124]

I heard somewhere that one of the reasons Spider-Man is covered from head to toe is to conceal not only Peter Parker's age but also his race (and to some extent gender). This was to done to emphasize that nothing about Peter Parker's background makes him any more worthy to be Spider-Man than the next guy and that it's Peter's good nature that makes him a Superhero. I'm not sure if this is true, but it is something to think about.

[@seanthebluesheep]

Spider-Man is great because when I was his age I wanted to be him, and now I'm the age of the actors who play him, I want to protect him but I still relate

[@sprucesoultree3833]

That scene from Homecoming hit me just as hard in this video as it did when I first saw it.

[@hypetrooper4937]

Cool fact Spider-Man: can punch a sky scraper in one blow but in every reality ‘he uses human strength and some velocity of aerodynamics’

[@mikeloserface]

Literally just argued about this to some friends I do movie reviews. Love this one, possibly one of my favorites since the last robocop video

[@SirJonathonDanielGregorySrVthe]

This is why I really like the Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz dynamic in the Green Lanterns run from a while ago. I would've liked that series to continue so much, I feel like there was a lot there that should've been resolved there, because of the way it was written and because of how fucking brilliant the dynamic was when it came out. If you haven't read it, basically you have two newbie Green Lanterns, Simon Baz, who's been around for a little bit beforehand, and Jessica Cruz, who was pretty much brand-new at the time (at least as far as being a Lantern goes, she got a storyline before it which was covered pretty well in animated form in, I think it might've been Justice League vs Fatal Five, maybe something like that). Baz has a bit of a checkered past and only really got his ring because it was being controlled by Sinestro looking for someone a lot like him, but he's been using it to become a better person. Jessica, through a similar vein, was given an Earth-3 Power Ring. That's significant, because the Sinestro Corps and the Power Ring are basically one in the same in terms of how they work. She had a traumatic experience and has been totally agoraphobic ever since, but the way she utilized her fear was for the better, and that took an amount of willpower strong enough to get the attention of the strongest Green Lantern ring that had ever been made. And she can barely use it because when we meet her she's just not very strong of will. They're great. They have a buddy-cop dynamic, it explores them learning about themselves, it's just, it's really good.

I always thought part of Lee's idea of relating to a teenager was understanding that they aren't boys or lads, they are teens which means they want to be thought of as men.

The Raimi Spider-Man movies were more of setting it in college through the movies save for the intro part of the first movie. That did kind of work with him as a college student...

[@LikeaGSamp]

Smallville is good because it shows the normality of Superman as Clark Kent and contrasts it with the powers of Clark Kent as he’s becoming superman

[@NephiylusBaphson]

That reliability thing they talked aboutt the end made me realize that Henry Cavill was the perfect cast for Superman in that regard, his character in he movies just want written can that well. Hes relatable af irl, an awkward gamer just like he rest if us

[@rodrigorodriguez2636]

On the topic of the mask, I think they referenced it on spiderman into the spider verse when they say that anyone can be underneath the mask which helps people relate to him.
