One Perfect moment did we have a Spider-man one yet?
This scene really defines Spider-man as a character and is one of the best most memorable comic stories of all time.

	Awh, I liked the taxi driver posse, if only because it felt so wonderfully late 80s/early 90s movie. Also, Madame Web was always a plus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, yeah, if you're just going 'Woo! Fun!', and for most of the series, that's fine, but that isn't the point of the story they're adapting. The story is supposed to be POIGNANT, and somewhat tragic, not filled with annoying Jamaican accents and big explosions and 'Octo-Bots'. If you can't adapt a story like that for the small screen without those things, then you should leave it alone.

	Well okay, that I can see. It was still poignant at the end I think though? And to make a whole half-hour sail on the tragic intimacy of spider-man and a dying kid would be both very very tricky and exhausting. But I hadn't pondered it that way before. I guess maybe it is a bit too much of a see-saw. (Reply to this) (Parent)
