Spiderman is a superhero who has been filmed second only to Batman. And Spider-Man happens to rank among the top two most popular superheroes in the world with Batman. They represent the two best comic companies in the world and are also the signature characters of the two hero concepts. Batman represents the creative concept of classical heroes and has attracted much attention, while Spiderman is loved by the spirit of modern heroes and civilian heroes. But the two are not completely similar. Both are mortal fetuses and are representatives of ordinary humans. Batman means that even elites will suffer the pain of ordinary people. Spiderman symbolizes "As long as you want, people The beautiful vision of "everyone can be a hero". Both of them are talented, talented, and superior in intelligence. They fly to the sky and use their fists and equipment to fight the villains in the streets and alleys. Even Peter Parker later became overbearing president like Bruce Wayne. The author is personally upset that Peter Parker has been labeled as a dick. A scholar and genius have never been related to dick. Perhaps it's just because his very close image and the twists and turns of love make him look like you and me. Or maybe everyone is deceived and misled by Toby Maguire's version of Spider-Man.
But in fact, as soon as this Spider-Man animation opened, it reviewed the classic shots of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy, such as intercepting a runaway train, half-faced kissing with MJ, and burlesque dance steps on the street. , As if in the official certification of that version of Spider-Man. And that potbellied middle-aged extraordinary Spider-Man also wants to evoke everyone's memory of Tobey Maguire. It is said that this character once invited Maguire to dub and was rejected, probably because the character's image is a bit ridiculous.
Everyone is very familiar with Peter Parker, but may be relatively unfamiliar with the new Spider-Man Miles. His appearance in the comics was still very important news that year. Although he was not mentioned in his previous works, he has already been added to the Marvel Spider-Man game released earlier this year and completed him. A ritual of being bitten by a spider and manifesting power. This film directly makes Miles the protagonist, perhaps also wanting to create a refreshing feeling. But is this film really refreshing? This is, after all, the origin story of a Spider-Man who died of his uncle. What's more, there is more than one Spider-Man in the film, and the origin stories of the other six Spider-Mans are all accounted for. In other words, we watched Spider-Man Origins seven times in a Spider-Man movie, and it really feels like we can summon a dragon.
The origin story of the blonde Peter Parker, who was in the same universe with Miles but died early, has the richest account. This is the most typical Spider-Man origin, just like the outline of all the Peter Parker stories before summing up. Then there are the middle-aged extraordinary Spider-Man Peter Parker and Spider-Woman Gwen who broke the Dimensional Wall. The origins of these two are also described more clearly, including the encounter between their two dead relatives. There are also three distinctive Spider-Man, whether it is appearance or the explanation of the origin story is relatively simple. The existence of the cartoon, black and white, and daily comical Spider-Man is probably to show us how much this character is in cross-border aspects. outstanding.
The story may be the biggest shortcoming of the film. It is highly clichéd and we have seen countless times on the road to the birth of a hero. It is indeed not easy to attract people again, and this Spider-Man is also a genius for learning. So the Spider-Man who came from the parallel world became the plot spoiler. The essence and laughter of the film, except for a few contrasts and comics that occurred when Miles had just appeared, are mostly related to the other five Spider-Man, and especially to the middle-aged Parker. This Peter Pike just filled in the inner hollow that the dead young Pike gave Miles and became a mentor. But this middle-aged man with a big belly is also very bad, so he learned something from Miles. This kind of mutual influence of teacher-student relationship is common in hero comics, but the effect of the film is surprising.
In addition, this black spider, who has withstood the expectations of his parents, school and other Spider-Man, has shown a high degree of Japanese blood and emotion in the process of transforming from rebellious escape to living out of himself, which belongs to Miles alone. Personal traits.
The most amazing thing about the film is the performance of the picture. I have to say that animation is indeed the best art carrier for superhero movies. The use of color and tone and the performance of grand scenes can be bolder and more open than live-action movies. Animation can also create more exaggerated and complex facial expressions, body movements and figures, such as the body of Kinnam, without having to consider whether it is in line with reality, let alone the problem of special effects synthesis. At the same time, with the comic-style text box, large-scale fonts of various colors and the frame of the lens, as well as the coloring of coarse particles, the picture quality is greatly enhanced and the expression methods are more abundant. There are also examples of using comic text and storyboards in live-action movies, such as the Sea-Bian King series, but there is always no animation that looks coordinated. If live-action movies are too much in pursuit of the uniformity of costumes and comics, there will be a sense of sight of a large-scale cosplay scene. But there is no such problem in animation, especially animation rendered by this kind of manga.
It’s not the first time that a superhero has been put on a big screen animation. The Big Hero 6 is based on Marvel’s superheroes. It’s just that the cartoonized CG rendering of the movie and Disney’s story core are quite similar to the superhero story. gap. This Spider-Man really allows us to see the specific effects that superheroes can be put on the big screen and keep their core story. This year, another young Titan movie on the big screen has a taste of a TV theater version, and the movie feel is a little worse. The Lego superhero movies are full of Lego horror.
There are a few very interesting little easter eggs in the film. One is the implantation of the QQ app, which is the second implantation after Venom. Another is the appearance of the battle suit from the Marvel Spider-Man game in the film. At the same time, the battle suit of Miles in the film is also added to the Marvel Spider-Man. The two-way interaction is very interesting. The third is of course Stan Lee. What he said to Miles is a pun and can be applied to every Spider-Man.
Myers’ story has just begun. I only hope that this Spider-Man will not only become an example, but will open a new era in which animation is used to create a superhero series of movies.
