I guess people are tired of the old retread comic book heroes. I can’t watch another Superman. Oh look, Spider-man has the teen angst. He’s learning how to shoot his webs. Watch out Aunt May. Zzzzzzzzz. So they had to go back into the old days, and find characters no one had ever heard of. Black Panther and Ant man. Maybe they’ll resurrect Captain Sticky. He had a peanut butter gun.
Speaking of Spider-Man, I much prefer the Yamashiro Takuya version (from the Toei TV series). No angst there.
And since they made the alternate-universe Gwen Stacy into yet another Spider-Woman (nicknamed “Spider-Gwen”), I wonder if they’re thinking of making a movie of that comic book series.
