Hey fellas, not quite Spidey related but as you’re light on q’s – what do you make of plans to ‘humanise’ X-Men’s Apocalypse in the next film?
Previous question directed to JR and please add all the necessary hyphens to Spider-man.
My first issue of spiderman was with Morbius. At the end of the comic spiderman grew four extra arms. I was so grossed out by the issue, I decided not to buy any more spidermen comics. Of-course I read my friends collection and had quite a collection of my own going, but I was stuck on not buying any new issues.
That was about 40 plus years ago. With the new #1 of Spiderman I have finally started up again and I enjoy listening to your broadcasts as well.
My question is this. Spiderman and so it seems most of Marvel, has been rehashing and rearranging the same original themes over and over again. Give the Hulk a different color, Iron man a new suit, Clone Spiderman, give him a new suit. Eliminate Mary Jane, bring back Mary Jane, eliminate rinse and repeat.
My question is this. What was it about the original Marvel characters that was so fertile to last these 50 to 75 years of time? And why has it been so difficult to create fresh ideas in superhero land? Was it simply the times? Have the creative minds moved on to other mediums? Am I missing something?
What in your opinions are the qualities that make a truly great superhero and cast of characters?
I would enjoy listening your thoughts on this very important matter. : )
