MARVELous Interests

     When it comes to adapting another source of media to the big screen, it's bound to run into issues of being faithful to the original source material while also updating it to modern times as to not upset the fans of the work. For comic books, this is an even bigger problem as some characters are so strong/powerful that they could end the villain of the story on the spot (looking at you Hulk, Thor, Superman, and Scarlet Witch) but of course people don't want to see that as they want to see a story unfold. Whether it's the origin of the character, a story from the comics that fans love being adapted to the big screen (Planet Hulk, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Kingdom Come, World War Hulk, etc.), fans want to see specific moments from the story unfold such as Superman showing his humanity when helping people who are proving difficult to be redeemable or Hulk finally hitting his breaking point and swatting down armies and destroying planets by punching them, as it not only...

A fight ensues between Peter and Goblin which causes Gwen to be knocked off the top of the bridge which Peter shoots out a web to catch Gwen but while the webbing does catch Gwen's foot it causes a serious case of wh...

                                                              (Big Blue Boy Scout)      When it comes to being a superhero, many people assume that the hero has morals and a code of not taking the law into their own hands. While there are heroes such as Superman, Batman, Captain America, and Spider-Man (both peter Parker and Miles Morales) that do not kill as they believe that they would be no better than the foes they try to stop, there are some who think the opposite and will do what they can to end a threat before they can come back such as The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Punisher, and Invincible (on occasion). To me, I feel it is a situation that has made me think about what I or any other person would do if they had the power to protect the innocent. (Invincible having enough)    ...
