They are also superheroes. The Wolverine series is getting older and older. By the third part, Wolverine has become sullen and unable to cope with all the challenges that come. The Spider-Man series is getting younger and younger. In the latest "Spider-Man: Homecoming", Spider-Man has become a little fresh meat of the post-00s generation: a green, ignorant, rookie who first came into contact with society.
The audience was tired of the ping pong pong bombing of "Avengers", and Marvel began to consider trying different styles, let the hero come down from the altar, let him enter your life and mine, and restore him to a Ordinary kid next door.
He is no longer a perfect superhero, just a high school student in a spider suit, a typical adolescent high school student. He's not very confident in his own power, so he likes to be in the limelight to get everyone's attention. This is no different from the thoughts of ordinary big boys.
When people on the street saw Spider-Man standing on the roof, they would shout at him: Is that Spider-Man? Let's do a backflip. Spider-Man will make one for him right away. He asked the gangster about the location of the weapon trade, and he also borrowed the enhanced interrogation mode of the battle suit to make his voice sound majestic and terrifying. All of this is in line with the psychological characteristics of an adolescent child. When the audience watches these episodes, they can't help but recall their high school life and let out a knowing smile.
There are too many heroic colors in this character. Most of the time, the superhero Spider-Man's righteousness is to help an old grandmother to cross the road; catch a hairy thief who steals a bicycle; the hero is no longer invincible, and he stops it. A robbery destroys an entire store, mistaking car owners for car thieves, and throws the community into chaos.
Because he is too young, his combat experience and physical strength are destined to be far inferior to the mature and stable Spider-Man in the old version. Therefore, the youth version of Spider-Man has made a big fuss about Spider-Man's equipment. Compared with the old version, the equipment of the juvenile Spider-Man has been reborn. The spider suit given to him by Iron Man is said to be worth millions of dollars; the spider logo on the chest of the suit can be separated from the suit and become a small detector; the spider webs launched have hundreds of modes such as electric shock and explosion.
If there is any similarity between this film and the old version of Spider-Man, it is that the setting of the villain adopts a drama mode with narrow paths. The villain in this film is set as the father of Spider-Man's favorite girl, an acquaintance in his life circle. In the old version, the villain Green Goblin was the father of Spider-Man's best friend, and the villain Dr. Octopus was Spider-Man's teacher.
This kind of setting is testing Spider-Man's choice of values in the inner world. When he chooses to offend his girlfriend and stand up to stop the evil, the value of the hero is displayed to the greatest extent.
The Chinese translate spiderman as Spiderman, not Spiderman, which is a very meaningful behavior. There is no concept of chivalry in Western culture, however, Chinese people think his actions are in line with our imagination of chivalry. Both Eastern and Western cultures strongly respect this spirit of sacrificing oneself for others.
In addition, Western culture emphasizes the value of personal struggle, and the young Spider-Man finally realized that if you are useless without the spider suit, then you don't deserve to wear it. The battle suit must be worn by people with a strong sense of autonomy, which is the core spirit of Western superhero stories.
