Spiderman : The Epic Blue And Red Supehero

                Everyone has heard of or seen Spiderman whether it be the cartoon the 3 films or viz a friends mouth. The creator of Spiderman, Stan Lee, has created a lot of superheroes. I am lucky enough to have an account with Netflix so I can get  a lot of movies and cartoons for free and the cartoon version of Spiderman Volume 1-4 is available to watch instantly. The cartoon series is called The Spectacular Spiderman. 
The Differences (d) and Similarities(s):

• (d) in the cartoon Peter Parker's Grandfather died really early on
  in the movie he was there for a while
• (s) Harry Osborn was Peter's best friend in both mediums. Harry's father likes Peter more then his own son.
• (d) In the cartoon Harry and Peter have been friends for years and Peter and Mr.Osborn are no strangers. In the beginning of the movie Peter coincidentally meets Harry's dad.
• (s) Peter works as a freelance photographer for Jameson, taking photos of his secret identity. 
• (s) Peter is a Senior in high school
• (d) In the cartoon Harry is the Green Goblin and the reason he is going around terrorizing people and things is because they have threaten his father. In the movie Harry's dad is the green goblin.

There are plenty more points of contrast and comparison between the two but none of it matters if it were exactly the same. The differences between the first Spider Man Movie and the cartoon it was based off of are small and all make the Hollywood plot extremely entertaining. This movie remake was extremely affective and an overall good production because the enhanced storyline only twist certain aspects of the story to give the movie depth and a direction to continue on. Things that happened in the movie, like Peter losing his Uncle, give us the viewers a chance to see Peter grow and experience emotion and relate to us. The movie also makes the love story between Peter and Mary Jane more epic and a side story to go along with the main superhero story. This movie was a success, too bad thats not the case for all remakes.

Stay Beautiful,
