Spider-Noir

Surprisingly good Noir story wrapped in a Spiderman skin. I really love that they doubled down on the theme rather than making it _just another superhero story._ The whole thing was really well put together. Everybody's talking about Nic Cage (well deserved) but all the actors killed it in their roles. I especially loved Li Jun Li as the femme fatale, she stole the scene every time. The cinematography was also excellent aside from some shoddy CGI (especially in the first 2 episodes). I didn't love it at first, the starting episode was so heavy on exposition and so fast paced to try and set…

Spider Noir is like Batman, but without the money. I'll be concise. The series is good, like writing, directing, acting are good. But there is a problem with the Spider-Noir costume that lacks common sense. Unfortunately, they choose the absurd costume that doesn't work in real world. The perfect costume of Spider-Noir is from the videogame "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions". It has realistic leather pilot jacket and pilot googles. They obviously missed this. The series is good artistically and technically, but the choice of the absurd costume is stupid.

Disney could learn from this. It isn't woke, it doesn't lecture to the audiance, at no point in time does it go out of it's way to attack white people, straight people, men, conservatives, Christians, Jews, or any other group that it's popular to hate on the tolerant left.... ... and, it doesn't take a hard right lean either, not that many things in Hollywood do, but I don't want to see right wing politics anymore than I want to see left wing politics in my entertainment... I just want escapism. In fact, it's deliciously modern politics and mythical modern audiance free. That being out of…

Practically everything I would have wanted out of a whole show featuring a live action version of Nicolas Cage's "Spider-Noir" character from the animated Spider-Verse films. While this version of "the Spider" is not quite as comically goofy as the iteration seen in Into the Spider-Verse, it works perfectly for this live-action world, which is more grounded, gritty, and real-feeling, yet still with plenty embracing of the cheesy 30s tropes that made the character so iconic in that movie in the first place. And while the approach to the character is not exactly the same, this story…
