It’s a movie based on a comic book character and a storyline that was developed in the 1970’s. It’s part of a larger story of superheroes who are all fictional. Us nerds who read those comic books when they were new appreciate that the story is a big screen sensation 40 years later. If they want to spruce up the story to make it more relevant to contemporary times then I see no problem. Most of the people who are critical of the movie never ever read the comic books. Give thanks to God that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had such wild imaginations. Try to enjoy it for what it is.
You are so right. The rest of the world has FINALLY begun to catch on to the genius of Stan Lee.
I am still astonished where that guy’s mind was going back in the ‘60s with respect to mythology, science, geopolitics and society—all of which somehow made sense to kids!
Does your screen name refer to the web slinger?
