Why Uncle Ben Matters (MCU and Spectacular Spider-Man)

#Spider-Man #UncleBen #MCU

Everybody shares the same opinion about MCU Spider-Man. Despite this, I offer my thoughts on the topic in this video and emphasize the importance of Uncle Ben to Spider-Man’s character. In doing so, I invoke the greatest Spidey cartoon of all time, and one of the plain best Spidey anythings of all time: Spectacular Spider-Man. I hope you enjoy.

Also I know it seems like I come down pretty hard on MCU Spidey in this video, but I actually really like the portrayal of Peter Parker in Civil War and Homecoming. I definitely have my issues with how Peter is characterized in those movies, but the good far outweighs the bad, in my opinion. Far From Home, though? Yeah, I got more issues there. It honestly feels like so much of what I loved about Peter’s character in Homecoming was walked back or ignored, but maybe you feel differently! If that’s the case, let me know why down in the comments.

I know I didn’t delve super deep into my analysis of MCU Spidey in this video, as I’ve already reviewed Far From Home and I didn’t want the MCU side of this video to completely overshadow the Spectacular Spider-Man side of this video, so I’ll be happy to continue the discussion down in the comments with you :)

I’d also like to go on the record and say that Spider-Man is pretty cool. Just, like, in general. And if you decide to attack someone personally for their opinion about Spider-Man--a fictional character meant to unite people--you’re exactly the type of person that Spider-Man would abhor.
