I really love the character of Spider-Man. He truly deserves the massive popularity that has been given to him for so many years now, and I can't wait for the future of his character. He truly is (at least in my opinion) one of the greatest Superheros of all time! :)
Agreed! He is my brother's favorite superhero by far.
Luke Skywalker the 2nd you could say he’s
AMAZING
Heh you’re wrong he isn’t one of the greatest he IS the greatest superhero
@@OTR0412 funny joke
Spider-Man is one of those things that will never die. Stan Lee the great.
Don't forget the late Steve Ditko & Jack Kirby.
He will live on forever!
@@Godzillarex and so will other superheros that come way before Spiderman like superman and Batman and they will live on as well.
to be honest i thinki spiderman is more grow up then Tony
Godzillarex hopefully, unless Sony get the right sof marvel again, and make tasm3
1. Spider-Man (represents the average Joe, most relatable)
2. Batman (He's a complex and emotionally damaged character that pushes his bodies to the limit and uses his wealth to fight injustice )
3. Daredevil (the embodiment of endurance and perseverance. After everything he's been through, he still hasn't lost his mind. Truly the man without fear.)
Those 3 are my personal favorites.
Spider-Man is my favorite superhero he’s relatable, funny, and unique. He is just...Amazing
I see what you did there
Spider-Man is spectacular, ultimate and amazing
Mr.Stark I feel greater.
#BeGreater
One thing i most love about him is his perseverance. His enemies always has an edge over him..he gets his ass beaten severely by his enemies..but he never gives up..he tries a couple times and eventually proves who is the boss
Spider-man is US. Sure he has powers but they never make his life easier, in fact they make it worse he is the true definition of With great power comes great responsibility.
Mahdi Nur with a great curse comes great responsibility, your screwed lol jk
I love Spiderman.
He is one of my favourite superheros, including Batman and Captain America.
I like him because of his powers, his brains, and his humour. He also has a life outside of being a superhero, which is something many people can relate to. Good video!
Thanks Sparrow!
@Steven Pounsett nah Spider-Man all day any day
@Steven Pounsett actually yeh I hate the fact that a Spider-Man is Tony’s bitch
If spiderman gets mad, you know it's about to go down
Because he's Spider-Man
Yeah, A MAN WITH ALL OF THE POWERS OF A HECKIN SPIDER
Chinchilla General dnt u wish u had 'em
@@stonyxpress7079 yes but first you need responsibility
Spidey has always been my favorite super hero of all! He's really unique...
Batman and him share my number one spot for favorite superhero.
Why is spooder man so popular? Everyone's favorite swingy boi
Spider-Man is literally my favorite character in all media
Awesome! He's my brother's favorite as well. You should check out his channel! It has amazing Spider-Man animations ua-cam.com/users/Spidey406
@@Godzillarex for sure, I already saw some of his stuff apparently lol
Unpopular opinion Spider-Man has the best rogues gallery in all of comics. They all have a personal connection to him they all have compelling backstories, and they all just look so damn cool.
Not a unpopular opinion at all
Yeah, not an unpopular opinion. Spidey has the best rogues gallery in all of fiction
I been loving this hero since I was 2 he was so relatable cause I've delt with the same thing there is no hero that is more relatable than spiderman that why I love him
man I remember watching t.v. tobey Maguire movies and watching the cartoon on Saturday morning as a kid
Spider-Man is superhuman, yet an ordinary guy. He not only has to deal with supervillians, but also paying rent, bills, etc.
That's why I love him.
Vincent Franklin yeah that's me n my spider sense warns me every time there's a bill n my mailbox
Godzillarex : why is spiderman so popular ?
Mcu : because he is young and funny right ?
I have a feeling that 100yrs from now we will still have spider-man movies, tv shows and other stuff.
Ofc. Spider-Man will never die. We will not let it happen.
Spider-Man Forever! 🕷️🕸️🤟
I have been a fan of Spidey since I was a little kid. What makes him so close to us is that he always has problems of his own and can't seem to make good choices. But he always seems to come back swinging. That's why he's my favorite superhero out of all the others.
I’ve been a fan ever since I first rented Spider-Man 2000 for N64 from Blockbuster, and since then, I’ve watched every Spider-Man movie, read a lot of comics, owned a lot of merchandise, played a lot of the Spider-Man games, and even gotten over my extreme case of arachnophobia because of Spider-Man, he is the best of the best and will NEVER be topped in my opinion. Thank you for everything Stan Lee.
Greatest Superhero of all time, for me.
Agree👍
@Abdul Shah batman shit
For everyone
@Abdul Shah cmon man do you Batman stans have to argue in every freaking comment section? He even mentioned "for me" dude 🗿🗿🗿
It's the relatability. Think about it:
Superman? Super Jesus Alien
Batman? Billionaire who keeps young boys as his wards
Iron Man? Billionaire and super scientist
Black Panther? Billionaire, prince then king of a fictional country with magical technology.
Wonder Woman? Made from clay (so technically a golem), princess of a fictional, magical land.
Thor? A literal god.
Wolverine? Canadian.
Spider-Man? A kid from Queens.
In a world full of gods, aliens, and the 1% Spider-Man is just a normal guy trying his best. Now, of course, he can't represent everybody. But when he made his debut he represented like, 90% of the reader base of comics and he was the first such hero to do so who wasn't the sidekick of someone else. Finally young comic book readers could see themselves become something amazing, something spectacular. The only other heroes who come close are Captain America (a kid from Brooklyn with a heart of gold but was a middle-aged man by the time Spider-Man came out.) and the X-Men (representatives of every teenager who ever felt persecuted because of something they couldn't change but who lived in a billionaire's mansion and private school). Of course everything else this video mentioned contributes but in terms of relatability Spider-Man is king and everyone else can go eat a sock.
Eric Closs lol, wolverine canadian
Lol batman is more relatable than Spiderman
@@theshadow5352 dude fuck off
If you think about it you can go really in depth and all of those characters you said weren’t relatable are actually really relatable
@@theshadow5352 If Batman Is more Relatable than Spider Man Prove it? I Mean Batman is a Millionaire, He Trained With Ninjas, Trained with his mentor Ra's, And He's a Millionaire, none of that relates to us but only Rich Men, He Has Cool Gadgets, A Batmobile, a Bat Bike, An Awesome Butler, and is a Playboy same with Tony Stark, He also Makes this Voice which is Really Deep, How does that relate us??? And Spider Man Is Very Relatable, He's been My Favorite Superhero when I was 4 Years Old, I Like Him Because he's Relatable, He's a High School Nerd and a Geek, He Has Girl Problems, Rent Problems, Family Problems, He's been Bullied, He Has a Hater which is a Daily Bugle Editor which also calls him a Menace which his name is Jonah Jameson, and His way to Balance his Life with his Super Life as Spider Man, And He felt Guilty his whole life because of a Life Changing Event that killed his Uncle and Woud've Fought and Arrest the Burglar if he would not been Careless, and a Quote that Inspires Everyone, With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, and Do you think the Avengers would call him for help too if There's an Avengers-Level Threat? No, He's just a Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man, with Spider Powers, It's also because of his story with the villains or Criminals he faces, That's why Spider Man Is my Favorite Hero, and the Best Superhero.....
batman and spider-man are the two single best comic book characters ever created. Their morals, lead to some amazing story abilities. when used right, the joker is the perfect villain for batman. i don’t even need to explain why they work so well together. just an amazingly well written character . spider-man is the most relatable . just a kid, gets bullied, is poor, rejected by girls, all things people actually go through every day. when the mask is on, anyone can see themselves as spider-man. spider-man is hope. the embodiment of hope. bc while all the other heroes are off fighting the big battle. he’ll make sure to grab the hat that got blown off your head. he’ll help you carry your groceries to your car. bc that’s who he is.
Spider-Man, Nightwing, and Green Arrow are my top three. They’re young guys who’ve always been the underdogs but they’ve always battled through it. Spider-Man is definitely my favorite. I can’t remember the issue numbers because I was really young but I remember it was from the late 90s and Peter and MJ were vacationing in San Francisco and during their trip there an earthquake hits. So Peter goes off and helps when he can but there are some people he’s not able to save and afterwards he’s guilt stricken and sad. That really broke the character down for me and that’s the moment I fell in love with his character.
I first witnessed the Spider-Man cartoon show from 1967 back in 1982 and after listening to that catchy intro song and watched all the episodes he became the one Superhero i wanted to be like when i grew up 😍😊😉
Maybe not in every way like him but at least be able to recognize when someone is in trouble I'll help in any way i can without hesitation 😎
God bless Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for this beloved contribution to the world which I'll cherish till my final days 😍😍😍
Yearrs and years in the future Spider-Man will definitely become Legendary......
Favorite hero of all of media. Loved this video, subbed!!!
Thank you! If you enjoyed this analysis, I highly recommend watching my Spider-Man playlist! Its on the main channel page
4:26 Ah yes, his amazing gallery of villains, including his greatest enemy and arch-nemesis: Marvel editorial.
Hahahaha
I've grown up with Spiderman and have been able to relate my life exactly to his. Just a simple nerd in school that isn't popular and has alot of real life problems. Spiderman has been apart of my life ever since I can remember, he was my idol and my hero.
My spider sense dint warn me about that UA-cam ad
Great analysis Adrian. Truly great. Spider-Man is great, my third favourite character of all time. I think Tom Holland is the best. And Marvel's Spider-Man is a phenomenal game!
READ Comics who are your other two favs?
MatterOfHacked 1. Iron Man 2. Batman 3. Spider-Man
READ Comics understandable ranking
According to THE MAN HIMSELF, STAN LEE, Tom Holland is EXACTLY what spiderman was supposed to be.
I think the Rami movies are better and have a way better grasp of the character than the MCU Spider-Man films. But that is my personal opinion.
Childhood Hero right here
He's relatable to us. He sacrificed so much in life in a such young age to keep us safe and give hope
I love spider man so much because he is a character that we can relate to. Peter Parker is such a great guy who loves his city, his friends, his aunt and uncle and even his own parents who left him. He has so much tragedies in his life but that doesn't make him hate being spider man. To me, Peter Parker Is Spider man, not mile morales, not miquel o hara. He is spider man
Great video me personally like it when the hero and the villain have the same powers like with flash and reverse flash
Just a dude...parkouring in New York...what more do we want...
I Love Spider Man Not Just because of His Costume but His Humor, Motivation, Origins, Personality, Nerdiness, Powers, Villains, Characters, Story, and I like that Without Peter Parker Being Spider Man or without his powers, He is Still Spider Man, and What I love from him as a superhero or what makes him a character is that He is really the Most Relatable Superhero or Character to us......
I adore Spider-Man. One we share the same last name for starters which is what initally drew him to me, and he is geeky like me (I am not as smart as Pete though). What really draws me is his sense of good, always having to make the tough decions despite what it would cost him such as his jobs, girlfrields, financial gain and more. He is the person I look up to most, he will always be my top hero because no matter how much being Spider-Man has cost him in his personal life, he always does the right thing, trying to live up to Uncle Ben.
You got a new subscriber love the video spider-man will always be my favorite character in all of media 💯
Welcome to the channel! I have tons of Spider-Man videos, here's his dedicated playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLEGMqA6EvzxnTTpgJBUm7WYnQo6a_DY9h.html
They could easily make a live spiderman series that last 10 seasons since he has so many villains. People might like that more than smallville. He definitely has a better personality than smallville Clark Kent.
Thought that about the Walking Dead once, and we all know how that turned out...
Fun fact the brand name of Spider-Man alone is worth over 1.3 billion dollars..... That's almost half of the endgames box office.
because he's so relatable
He’s awesome
Spider man is middle ground between Batman and Superman...
True!
*Echo Fighter* , That's honestly the first time I heard that one.
To bad the Venom movie won't be R rated.
In a way, it might be better. The only reason Sony did that was so Venom had a shot of joining the MCU. If he were R, that possibility would be closed forever.
I'm so happy my most favorite superhero is SPIDER-MAN 😭😭😭😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓
I'm a kid from an era where there is no youtube. I just found out recently that my favorite hero is actually the most beloved in the world. Never did I realize before the fandom is this big. Gosh, this is so overwhelming.
I can relate to you LOL
More fun facts: Spidey shaped the lives of many people(including mine),
Spidey is the best Superhero in the world,
Spidey has the best rogues gallery in all of comics,
And that no one could ever top him for me ♥️ there are infinite reasons on why i infinitely love Spidey 🕷️🕸️🤟
SPIDER-MAN FOREVER! 🕷️🕸️🤟
I love Spider-Man! He is so relatable because he is us. He isn’t a billionaire or an alien. He is someone who is like me or you
Spidermans the best
I knew you couldn't make this video without talking about venom. I would like to see you do videos about some of your other favourite characters or films.
Hahaha, you know me well! If it does well enough I will
Godzillarex cool
Peter Parker is the most relatable character ever , not just superheroes.
Can't wait for analytical story battle season 2
Nice vid
Thanks!
While Iron Man wasn’t popular before the MCU, I think Iron Man deserves a spot on most popular superheroes. He’s become an Icon since the first Iron Man movie and has been for the past ten years. He’s become a household name and a staple for the MCU. I feel like Iron Man will be remembered long after Robert Downey Jr. takes off the armor.
Ask your grandma who Iron Man is. I doubt she knows. This is what I'm talking about. Iron Man is popular for kids until 35 yr old men and women. The other 3 know no age limit.
While that is true, Iron Man still isnt even close to topping the top 3 Superheroes of all time
But yeah he definitely deserves top 10 tho
Because he’s just a kid at the end of the day.
Well not anymore hes an adult in the comics now
I think an episode looking at the fighting style of Scott pilgrim would be neat
This is Spiderman!!!
Please have Deadpool, Spider-Man, Blade, Scorpion and Sub-Zero in analytical story battle.
Yeah true everything in this vid is accurate he is afterall the character that started me up with marvel few years before 2008
spider-man inspires people to be strong and have hope as well.
Pizza time 😃
His our number #1 Superhero SPIDER-MAN😭😭😭💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇
Could do Spider-Man PS4 fighting style video?
Nice
his being the lead character and not a side-kick as a teen stands out. at his debut that was not very common portrayal...
And they kinda ruined that in homecoming making him iron mans sidekick....
Can you do John wick fighting styles plz...
I love Spiderman because I can relate to him, I worry a lot about things like money, keeping a job, my own appearance, time and my own future. I'm not very successful with girls let alone finding the courage to ask them out and if they did accept me making a relationship last. Him and I are both nerds and have so many talents but they don't seem to bring us anywhere, but we never give up on trying to be successful and still remain positive and optimistic.
Who wouldn’t want to swing through a giant city
Spiderman spiderman does whatever a spider can spins his web any size catches thieves just like flys look out here comes the spiderman
Spiderman is so popular because hes so relatable. An ordinary guy who's just trying to live life. And occasionally gets into fights haha.
Can you do
how many fighting styles does Wolverine know??
Has he done the punished fighting style
Superman is the definition of a super hero. Batman is a badass and spiderman is a fun relatable character. Basically all there is to it
You should analyse Spider-Man's Fighting Style in the PS4 game.
Not yet, I need to play the game first haha
Because he's Spider-Man.
The simple answere is that his one of the most relatable charecter of all time created by the great stanlee in the marvel universe has cool powers cool costume
Because he was relatable,likable,,has the best sense of humor,good sex appeal(which i have),everything that a real life man has except hes a genuis just like tony stark,wolverine,ezio auditore are popular
I see many parallels between Spiderman and Harry Potter. Both start out as kids who you watch grow into powerful young adults. Both hate fighting and just want to live a normal life and struggle with the things many people their age would
Yeah. Neither of them are copies of each other tho
Edit: Maybe Rowling coincidentally created a character similar to the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
@@leonscottkennedy8776 of course not. They are very different characters and themes.
@@MrKingYuji yeah
Spider-Man is Spider-Man that's why
Vid starts at 0:00
Spidey is my favorite marvel hero next to Hulk
Spider-Man is in the top 3 greatest fictional characters. Imo he is the best
I Say people wanted to Web Swing Is likely too dangerous for anyone to try like spider man would do.😇
Spider-Man
How many martial arts does deadshot know
Nowadays, I think it comes down to Iron Man or Spider-Man as the greatest superheroes of all time. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like people love Ironman because of Tony Stark’s personality, but they love Spider-Man more for Spider-Man
Iron Man became popular because of the MCU. But he is still nowhere near as popular as the big 3 of Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man
You are my favorite, why'd you left clevver
Most Spider-Man villans are stronger then he is but spider man has the smarts on his side
why is godzilla so popular?
wouldnt mind a video on that
Good idea!
BECAUSE ITS SPIDERMAN!!!!
Spiderman is the best
I understand that Batman, superman and spider man are the three most popular heroes.They may have transcended to the point where they are known by everyone else. An argument can be made that iron man, green arrow, Thor, captain America, black panther and flash
Those guys are all extremely popular, but none of them reach the level of those three.
@@Godzillarex wonder woman and black panther and the others aren't that far from reaching that level.
Remember the reason there's a superhero wearing a mask it's because of spidey and he also broke the rule of comic.
sevend
Best Marvel
characters
spiderman and
hulk
The best DC characters batman
and superman
If lots of people like him can he make money by people donating to him and could make thousands or millions
Because he's Marvel's only good hero
Spider-Man is very hard to recruit in Avengers.
Now I need a video like “Why are The X-Men & Fantastic 4 aren’t popular”...
The movies mostly. The X Men and FF have many qualities that make them more interesting than the Avengers.
@@DHworldwide185 Then again, MARVEL’s higher-ups tried to kill the two that I’ve mentioned so The Inhumans could take the spotlight...
