    Heck, even his web shooters go back to classic ninja stuff: making his own weapons with what he’s got. He’s not exactly rich, so he’s got gadgets he can make on his usual salary. Ninjas had to make weapons outta scraps and farm tools.

      When the police thanked Spidey for helping capture them, he replied in a barely audible tone - his silence was because he had been struck by a case of laryngitis and couldn’t talk above a whisper!

    I’ve seen some comments saying that Spidey’s costume isn’t very ninja like, which to be fair is true that it isn’t accurate to traditional garbs. But I have a plausible rebuttal: the Japanese Tiger Beetle. The tiger beetle has bright orange and blue patterns. Even though the coloration is very loud, it still hides the beetles from their would be predators(primarily birds). The reason is that the combination of colors and patterns makes it hard for the predators to discern it from the ground at far distances. This strategy isn’t limited to tiger beetles either. Waldo wears freakin red and white stripes yet we still have trouble finding him in his “Where’s Waldo?” books.

    I think you barely scratched the surface of Spider-man's ninja-likeness.
    Many people have mentioned his quipping to be emotional manipulation, often annoying enemies into making mistakes.
    Spider-man makes his own gadgets and suits from whatever he can scavenge. He's a dumpster diver and makes web fluid in his science class in the MCU.
    Spider-man is highly adaptive. He is always making new suits to combat any enemy's new powers. He learns about his enemies and designs ways to take them down. Most notably is rubberized suits and electric webbing to deal with Electro.
    While his suit isn't exactly subtle, it's not exactly useless. New York is a visually noisy city with cars and Time Square and everything. So even though Spider-man's very flashy, it'd probably still be hard to spot him sitting on a billboard or something unless you were actively looking for him. Especially since I bet there are several billboards that already feature Spider-man on them.
    And even then, he has many other suits including some far subtler ones. He has had several black suits, many of which were developed for stealth. Despite maybe the glow of the eyes those suits blend into the black, light polluted New York sky.
    And another one that's very simple, but does seem to be a big detail, is that spider-man is one of the few Marvel superheroes who still has a tried and true secret identity. Despite how flashy he is, no one except a very small group of people know who he is. Even several of the superheroes don't know him. In a world where some superheroes advertise themselves on live television as billionaires, super-scientists, or both and where others don't even bother to go by an alter-ego or to hide their face, characters like Daredevil and Spider-man are increasingly rare in Marvel. Especially to be a character as public as spider-man and still maintain anonymity. (We're also just going to ignore that one time during the Civil War event here).

    Fun fact, Peter having arachnid hairs to allow him to climb is only in the Raimi films, in the comics he can manipulate atomic forces to make any part of his body adhesive. He can use it to stick objects to himself anywhere, so basically his entire body is a storage space. He can also use it to stick his mask to his face so he can't be unmasked. A clone of him even once weaponised it in a really gruesome way.
    Also, the Spider Sense is f*cking broken, it's borderline precognition. It can detect lies, helps him identify safe places to stick webs to swing and warns him against literally anything he would personally deem as danger, including someone about to discover his secret identity. It even allows him to cheat at poker, which sadly means he never gets invited to avengers poker night. Sadly, the spider sense doesn't work on people he trusts or on venom or his offspring (because they have his exact powers from when he wore the Venom symbiote)

    When you mentioned tactics and how he usually engages from above, I was a bit disappointed you didn't mention/explicitly say that he favours stealth. He isn't hanging up just because he crawls on things and happens to be above, he the same ninja method intentionally, both for the element of surprise in an attack or just to observe.
    Another interesting aspect is his clothing. Sure, it doesn't blend in... until you realise he lives in NY. I'll leave that point at that.
    Then you have to add his scariness. No, I am not kidding. His motif is a spider aka universal nightmare material. But imagine you're criminal. You're doing your thing, then seemingly out of thin air, you hear a voice from above, or you just get hit by some sticky thing, and you're hanging upside down, or you finally notice this thing watching you when you thought you were safe. And his costume giving 100% coverage dehumanises him just enough for a touch of unsettling.
    Last, but not least, there is a deliberate creative reason why the ninja stuff (specially the stealth, the surprise attacks, the wall crawling, the scare tactics here and there) exists. Stan Lee's early work took a lot of inspiration, to put it nicely, from popular horror and mystery stories popular back then. NerdSync has a video on that, worth the watch, so I won't be repeating the arguments here. He wasn't intentionally trying to write horror, maybe mystery, but he was inspired by it. His intention was to create something different from other heroy heroes, with just that touch of eerie and mystery, somewhat ninjas go for. Stan also liked to modernise and use then popular fresh ideas (hence all the science, technology, radiation and mutation themes). Ninjas seek to keep up with modern technology/knowledge. It is a semi-coincidence, stan went for similar things ninja go, and then unsurprisingly threaded a similar path to make spidey.

Even though he has no formal training outside of Shang-Chi helping him develop his own martial-arts style based off his powers, his spider powers and gadgets really do make him a good accidental ninja. And you even brought up the Mangaverse, which was cool.

    There is a rime and reason for Spider-Man suit design, and you can find it his notebook and in Dr. O lab. The big contrast in the design is for gaining a slow reaction from his enemies.

  • @allenholloway5109
    @allenholloway5109 5 років тому +12

    The murderous intent test thing is something I would consider real. Just like how a dog senses emotion, a very aware human can sense emotions as well.
    Though it does have one limitation, if you could call it that. If the person has had severe emotional trauma, you will *only* get the sense that something is "off" - and nothing else specific. (This is the most obvious one, which means some people will notice that "wrongness" in someone without knowing it, sometimes causing them to shun someone who is otherwise very kind.)
    (Also, for obvious reasons, murderous intent is also pretty apparent compared to other emotions.)
    It's not just "belief," either. There's a very scientific explanation that I came up with after not exactly being satisfied with the spiritual energy explanation. (I do believe in the spirit, and spiritual things, but something didn't sit right for me for that to be the only explanation.)
    The brainwaves of a person change according to their emotion. The brain signals are electrical in nature. Therefore, an electromagnetic field is produced, which extends from the body at a limited range. That field will interact and change other fields that it interacts with - distortions that are translated to altered electrical signals in the other person's brain.
    Therefore, your brain gets subtle signals that change according to emotion.
    (Though some existing electromagnetic fields probably disrupt this ability - I've never really had it work when I was near my laptop.)

    I only just thought of this while rewatching ATLA, but Zuko would make for an interesting ninja analysis. When he first appears as the Blue Spirit, he goes the entire time without speaking or without bending, thus keeping even his nationality a mystery. While using the Blue Spirit persona, Zuko becomes a near master of sneak attacks, subterfuge, infiltration, and the like. Not only that, but later in the season, while trying to capture Aang in the Northern Water Tribe, Zuko wore white ninja-like attire to blend in with the environment, covered his face with the exception of his very distinguishing eye scar but it's kind of hard to hide something like that since he needs to see. Also, after losing the original Blue Spirit mask, Zuko is able to find an exact duplicate in another country, which means he was using a fairly common mask to disguise himself, which helps hide his identity further, and would also easily allow for misdirection. On top of that, when tying up Aang, he used the ninja art of restraints, tying Aang's arms torso and legs similar to the diagrams you've shown before. Even in season 2 when he's living on the run, one could argue that Zuko is using Ninjutsu arts to pass for an Earth Kingdom refugee, even fighting his anger and urge to fight in order to keep his fire bending a secret when Jet attacks him. Anyone who didn't know he could bend would probably assume he's a regular non-bending Earth Kingdom citizen.
