    This is the kind of superhero documentary I live for. I don’t care about the cultural impact of heroes tackling social issues or how this book broke so many sales records or how this was a ripoff of that. I love watching DeFalco and Frenz talk about how the black suit caused so many changes to the book and how they started to switch costumes based on the type of story they were telling and how decisions changed based on fan responses. You can’t see that now with comics written for the trade and writers having a desired end goal in their heads that don’t allow any minor deviation they hadn’t planned for. I’m glad to see this live on and hope other people enjoy as much as I did.

    The music in this always sounded so ominous and depressing to hear as a kid. Especially the credits. Which perfectly fits with Peter's neverending life issues and being hopelessly addicted to the suit that's slowly killing him inside.

    Fans claimed marvel was ruining Spider-Man because they changed his costume? And threatened to protest outside the company? And said they would never read marvel again?

    29:39 A brilliant creative idea that Todd says was also known as "my plan to get that goddamn black suit off of Peter Parker." He hated the black suit and had plans for the red and blue costume he grew up with.

    • @invisiblesun6595
      @invisiblesun6595 Рік тому +1

      Well that certainly explains the reasons for my long seated contempt for Todd. That costume was the reason I started reading Spider-Man as a kid. Issue #300 made my dislike for him official. The whole Miracleman mess he perpetrated only put the final nail in his coffin. Glad Neil Gaiman won that battle, too.
