Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Does whatever a spider can! We’re so used to this applying to an iconic superhero. But what if radiation poisoning combined with arachnid DNA actually resulted in something terrifying? That’s the basis behind Andy Chen’s short film — a horror take on Spider-Man — called The Spider.

First off, let me say I don’t know if this leaked news about Silk is true. It seems true-ish but also is perhaps tailored to cause a certain kind of uproar, at the expense of Asian Americans, particularly Asian American women. Supposedly, the Amazon series focused on Silk (the Asian American Spider-Man-Type-Person-Hero), led by showrunner Angela Kang, is being retooled, as per an article from The Ankler which reports that a “source close to the series claims that Silk was being refocused with a more male-skewing audience in mind.”

Madame Web serves as Cassandra “Cassie” Webb’s origin story as well as her entry onto the big screen. In the comics, Madame Web is a blind elderly woman who possesses the power of telepathy and clairvoyance – but, in the SJ Clarkson-directed film, Cassie (Dakota Johnson) is a young paramedic working the tough streets of New York in 2003.

I had this whole preamble written, but here’s the most important thing. It’s tempting to say that Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is the best DC Comics movie made to date. I just watched a ten-minute cutscene that occurs about halfway through the campaign, involving Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Squad in a running battle around Metropolis, and I may still be shaken.

It may even be pretty hip-hop, as per the Outkast needledrop in the very first trailer. It’s definitely metal. Brainiac’s invasion of Earth is a metal happening.

I mean, I’m a Spider-Man/Spider-Verse person, seriously. Not in the sense that I saw Venom, or the one with Leto, or know when Kraven the Hunter comes out, but I’m still shocked that an official Madame Web trailer has been live for a whole week and I’m just watching it today. Internet! What’re you doing, man?

Sony Animation Pictures’ Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a massive sequel to say the least.

On this Hard NOC Life, Britney brings special guest host Liam King, lead singer of the bands STMNTS and Again in May for a spoiler-filled review of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The best thing about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is that it’s an irreverent love letter that dares to challenge and satirize the Webslinger’s mythology. By introducing Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) into the cinematic universe, not only did we see the Spidey persona in a whole new way, but we also got to see the social impact of representation. Now Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse puts a twist on the themes explored in the first while diving into the complex themes of individuality.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was unlike any other Spider-Man film we’ve seen before. It was a highly dynamic cinematic experience that used a variety of animation styles and techniques to deliver something wildly psychedelic and separated itself from the rest of its animation studio rivals.
