OT - Spiderman: movie Version or comic book Version?
Just saw Spiderman 2 yesterday, and it occurred to me that there still might be people, mostly comic book fans, who might not like the movie's take on Spiderman. I wasn't a big superhero reader back in my early years; for some reason, I liked the war comics instead. So Sgt Rock and Sgt Fury were my idols back then. Plus, I just didn't like the cadre of Marvel heroes. I'm still more of a DC guy, preferring Batman and Superman. Anyway, from what limited knowledge of Spiderman I've received over the years, I know Peter Parker had to made a chemical solution and use mechanical web-shooters, instead of them coming out of his wrists. I also know that Pete's first true love was a girl called Gwen Stacy, and she died when the Green Goblin threw her off a bridge and Spiderman used his web to stop her, thus causing her to die from a broken neck due to the whiplash that occurred during the sudden stop. So, for you purists out there, the movies may stink. I'd like to hear what you people have to say. Personally, I loved both movies, and can't wait for the 3rd one. And, not giving nothing away, the movie definitely sets things up for the 3rd installmant. But we're going to have to wait until 2007 for it.
