3 years later someone makes a video on youtube "Why Peter Parker: Spider-Man Is A Bad Spider-Man Show"

The fact that we’ll never have this is genuinely upsetting

A more grounded and much more realistic life struggles of Peter Parker like the Spider-Man 2 from 2000s is probably the closest we can get in Cinema

This is something I wanted for a long time. But never thought of a series, maybe every season is a year in college

I'll die by the belief that Spider Man belongs and should always be set in the early 2000s (post 9/11). It is the perfect time for someone like Spider Man to come up and get an understanding of what kind of hero he wants to be. Early 2000s aesthetic would also slap on Spider Man.

That first scene had me in tears idk why but I have a vivid imagination and I know how much that scene would mean to me I can't really explain it

As someone who writes scripts for a Spider-Man series that will never happen... This made me tear up :)

Smallville is a once in a lifetime kind of show, it just couldn’t be made today in any way shape or form. Which sucks because I think the format of a live action show fits every superhero. Great video!

Hearing this take on Spidey just reminds me why I love the character of Peter Parker. To me what made Peter Parker so appealing wasn’t the fancy suits or quips or even the powers . But how grounded he is . His day to day struggles are something we all can relate to. His struggles feel real and believable( minus the super hero stuff) What makes Peter Parker great is that he can never have a good life. He never gets a break. That is why he is such a beautiful character. He is the most relatable character in comic book history. Being Spider-Man doesn't make his life better it makes it worse. But despite all that he still keeps on fighting, he remains optimistic and still chooses to be Spider-Man despite the consequences outweighing the benefits. His character is the type of role model kids even adults can look up to and reminds us that we might not be able to be Spider-Man but we can definitely be more like Peter Parker.

it's so tragic when you see these kind of young people who has nothing but love ans passion for spider-man and comic books can do nothing but dreaming about lovely senarios. i hope one day someone makes a change. we all love you alex. thank for sharing your great stories and thoughts. we ALWAYS need more.

I especially loved the mention of how Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery sees Peter more than his own friends and thus would probably be like "Oh Hey Spider-Man How's it hanging.... NOW DIE WEB HEAD!" Also never forget that a huge part of Peter, of Spider-Man is trying to convince these criminals to change the direction of their lives inbetween quips!

This is genuinely so rad, man. I would watch the shit out of this if you got to make it. I’ve been getting back into Spidey more and more, and this video illustrates exactly why I love the character so much. Thank you once again, Alex!

Editor deserves a raise, all the scenes picked from other films go so well with alex's ideas wow!!

As soon as you mentioned Euphoria and The Perks of being a wallflower i was hooked. The cinematography of Euphoria needs to be studied for the ages, the perks of being a wallflower with the energy of all the characters would work so well. But the spontaneousness and looming fear of the villians need rebrand. Now they dont have to be violent and over grotesque with gore galore. But if we started seeing more of the villians eminate the brutality of both homelander and omniman, It would be insane. This could work with Kraven, Jackal, Doc Ock, and Green Goblin. Lastly, Keep the drama and action balanced, have a few episodes slow burn like Breaking Bad. Deep Lore and surreality of adventure time because New York is one big mystery on its own. And keep the characters evolving at a balanced rate. Boom you got one of the greatest Spider-man stories ever

I just wanna say I love your videos man and the heart put into them, Been watching since the homecoming critique

A live action series is such a good idea! a three movie trilogy just isn't enough with all the good storylines Spider-Man has to explore. You can have a main overarching villain like Green Goblin for maybe 2 seasons, and each episode you can have a smaller lesser threat villain. Sometimes they take 2 episodes, just like the 90's animated series.

my god i say this so often but i ADORE your way with words man. for example describing peter's spidey sense as a migrane, a headache, i envy how well you can put an image in someone's head with your words. or little things like that you wrote "the voice" the first time we hear spidey in your first scene THAT'S SO COOL AND IT HAS SO MUCH IDENTITY!!!! "The rustle of panic consumes our ears" BUT ACTUALLY THE WHOLE SCENE IS SO AMAZING, IT'S SO PERFECT AND I GOT EMOTIONAL JUST LISTENING TO YOU i really love your work and you are such a big inspiration to me

This is something that a lot of Spidey fans would love to see. Also, I love that you take as a combination of Smallville, The Perks Or Being A Wallflower, and taking the best elements from the live action Spidey films. Especially, with the POV of a boy makes it both refreshing and inspiring as well. It may never happen,but your pitch sounds amazing. I would totally watch it!🤟🕸️

Can I just say: What an amazing idea. I knew from the start that this would be a college story, but that was an easy guess lol. I love the idea of MJ being the co-lead, I love the idea of Peter narrating to us and ESPECIALLY seeing Spider-Man and his world from a civilian perspective. Hell, my own idea for a Spider-centric show was about Spidey AND the people of New York: How their lives have changed through their entanglement, whether we see them become better people, or see them turn into the worst versions of themselves-maybe even villians. (I also think it'd be fun if the person under the mask was someone completely new, cuz then the show could have this mystery element, with you wondering if the person you're following IS Spidey or not.) It is pretty different from what we've gotten and it...probably won't happen in our lifetime, but man you're right, it's so damn fun to think about.

I didn't watch the whole video yet but skimming through really quickly I see theres Smallville clips and The Perks of Being a Wallflower clips in this video which I would love if a Spider-Man show felt like a mix between those two. I think the perfect tone and vibe for a Spider-Man series would be the perfect mix of Smallville and The Perks of Being A Wallflower plus the Spectacular Spider-Man TV show too because that in my opinion is still the best version of Spider-Man we have ever gotten outside of the comics. Also in some ways I feel like Smallville did take inspiration from Spider-Man too which is why I think I love Smallville so much and it's my favorite adaptation of Superman even with all of it's flaws

I need this made, you truly have a talent for story telling. You paint a beautiful picture of what this show could be like. It’s the perfect Spider-Man.

The thing is, spectacular Spider-Man was already doing so much of this (without the realistic high school stuff) It really was the perfect show

Psst. The 'Coffee Bean' Saga. aka the 'ESU" saga. Pete. Harry. MJ. Gwen. Flash. I would love to see a show mostly revolving around this friend group and how Spider-Man essentially strengthens and strains these relationships, during their time at ESU. - Pete and Flash initially instigate each other (from old high school wounds), needing Gwen to act a big sis to mediate them. - Peter initially meets chem. major Gwen, but unfortunately fashion major MJ enters the mix. (*insert Spider-Man: Blue love triangle) - Gwen keeps the friend group in check, supportive and a bit of a leader. (like her dad) - Harry tries to be like his dad goes for a bach. of commerce. could lead to him discovering his father's criminal motivations. - Flash's redemption arc and enlisting to the army (because of Spider-Man) is one I NEED to see on screen. - Captain Stacy's death would completely stagger Pete's relationship with Gwen and his morals are questioned. Pushed even further as Gwen dies not knowing Pete's secret, convinced that Spider-Man killed her dad. - Death of Gwen leads to friend group basically broken. Harry into substance abuse. Flash gone into enlistment. MJ desperately trying to avoid any drama and 'party like there's no tomorrow'. - eventually we get the famous Romita panel where MJ refuses to be neglectful anymore and actually try to console a grieving peter and help out a broken harry while she still can. Slowly healing the friend group as much as she can. I'd love to see something that reflects modern day frustrations of college students. Why am I even here? Who am I really? But this could also reflect the thought of HOW we grow up and the people we grow up WITH. Something like this isn't likely to happen, but the idea of Spider-Man basically a drama/soap opera is needs to be more mainstream. Amazing video like always man. cheers

“sam raimis style of earnest melodrama and sincere heroism will never be topped” tops it after the first scene.

Your psychoanalysis for your version of Peter and MJ is perfect.

The fact he said swear on uncle Ben’s life in the sponsor tells me he had nothing to do with this company before the sponsor.

The way this man’s brain works. I could almost SEE the first scene! AMAZING!

Ayo i absolutely loved the first scene , I genuinely exclaimed “this is so good” imagining it

I've always wanted a Spider-Man series that takes place in the 60s or 70s so it could have that Ditko/Romita vibe to it and its just peter and his friends hanging out, what Marc Webb tried to do.

these videos always bring me to tears, just thinking about how personal they make peter's life through a series with the right creative team just drives me crazy, I wish something like this was truly possible.

Spider-Man gets me in a way nothing else can. Every superhero story I've ever written, dreaming of the day where I'm sitting in the director's chair for my own superhero project, has been me writing a story for Spider-Man. His optimism and down-to-earth character reaches my emotional core unlike any other character ever because I relate to that feeling of wanting to make jokes and stay optimistic in the face of the entire world telling you that everything is so messed up that there's no point in hoping anything will get better. But like any version of Spider-Man, I wake up every day saying "No, there's going to be change and I'll be there when it happens."

Bro the first 5 minutes in and I'm reminded why I expect your JASON film so much. Incredible storyteller

That opening scene was genuinely moving. Your videos are always incredible. Amazing stuff man

I already like this, you're a true fan and coming from a Batman & Spidey fan, I appreciate this a lot. I love this, hope the studios come across your videos, they're amazingly soulful. Keep it up 👍🏻.

This is my favorite video you've ever made, the story you're weaving really emotionally moved me at multiple moments. I hope something like this can be a full-fletched reality, someday

Alex, you have such a gift to convey these ideas so brilliantly and eloquently. I can't help but fall in love with your both poetic expression and your vision for how your ideal Spider-Man would be

I’ve been working on my own show’s screenplay, very much this with a touch of Baby Driver bc I feel like so much of youth can be defined by our searches for people who can explain our desires and troubles better than we can. I’ve got two episode drafts down with more on the way, and stuff like THIS, people getting passionate about the same things I’m passionate about, drives me to keep going with it even if it may never happen.

It’s always a good day when HiTop uploads

made me cry man. you are incredible as always. please never give up

This is definitely my favorite video from you man, it made me super emotional. You reminded me of how important is that character for me as a person, as a human being and for everyone actually. The fact that Peter took his guilt and pain and turned it to a symbol of hope while still being an everyday young adult is absolutely inspiring and amazing as an idea. I'd watch 100 seasons of this. Great writing man, I hope tou get to make rhat Spider-Man series one day and I'll be definitely watching. Thank you for this video❤

I'd be interested to see your takes on "What If you wrote Batman", "What If you wrote Superman" etc... pitch videos for characters like that?

That first scene is actually a wet dream of mine! Great job man! Perfectly captures the attributes of spidey and is mannerisms. And he has so many other attributes!

Bro….i really love your content. This was amazing!!!!! I’ve been following your content for years and i love it!

I love this so much, dude has such a clear and distinct vision for spider-man that is SO needed right now. Genuinely, actually almost cried while watching this video. At work.

A tv show where peter parker is always narrating similar to scrubs would be insane.

Alex, we've got you covered! Spider-Man: Alone COMING SOON 👀

Great Video HiTop, loved your first scene pitch and your takes on what the characters should be like.

i love your ideas and your passion and love for the character hitop. please never stop. thank you 🎉

we up.

things Spider-Man needs: - allowed to have a family (most recent comic iteration is on the good path here, although I won't be surprised if they mess it up) - funny quips are only for no-threat enemies or times when Spidey is nervous/uncertain. He has a dark side too, and not only during the symbiote arc - tech and gadgets, but limited due to time and money constrains. Otherwise he gets too close to Iron Man or Batman, but no organic webs either (ew... plus, bring back the 'oh no! run out of web fluid!' problem) - street crime is Spidey's domain too. Not everything he faces has to be supervillians and/or existential threats I think most Spidey fans will agree with that. Now, a more risky take: - clones can be ok, if done right. They can emphasize how great Peter is at fulfilling the Uncle Ben motto. Plus, Scarlet Spider's outfit is just so damn cool. Perfect for film.

love this so much. love how much of u there is in this. love you're feelings in this. love the influences you're pulling from.

This is inspiring, honestly. I really love this idea. I feel like this really could be cool in like in audio form. It's like Peter's s just telling a story into a tape recorder or he's narrating the story as he's happening with noises in the background. However it would go, i would love it and I would be a part of it in every single way.

Personally, I would love to see more focus on high school life and see it progress to college life. The Spectacular animated show did it and I remember loving it and hoping that one day a movie or TV show would focus on that. Start with Peter, Gwen and Harry being childhood best friends , with Peter and Gwen having feelings for one another, but clearly being too shy to do something about it, while Harry can see what is going on and makes fun of both of them. Flash and Liz being the popular kids with their own issues, who bully Peter due to him being poor and a nerd. It would be interesting to see Mary Jane being an outsider and slowly get more focus as the show goes on. She was transfered to Peter's school and becomes Gwen's best friend and starts a relationship with Harry. It would be interesting to start with her being kind of shallow and having a party girl personallity, but as time goes on we learn about her father's abusive behaviour and after Gwen dies and Harry starts to deal with drug addiction, she grows closer to Peter, starts to get her shit together and becomes his new best friend. Eventually, they start dating.

Your videos always make me feel a lot of things, teared up again, thank you.

You have no idea how absolutely glad I am that you made this video. I thought for years about the possibility of a live action spidey show and it's so refreshing to know that other people want to see one. Thank you!

Another great video! You're videos encapsulates pure passion and inspire me. You're love for these heroes are more passionate than anyone else’s! My only wish is for this to come alive and make this vision possible 🙏🏻 Terrific work as always, my man!

This is the kind of Spider-Man show that we need. With remnants of all the previous films with touches of old school and modern school New York. With our characters including their chemistry staying timeless and relatable. Whilst keeping the same action and beautiful camera style. Basically just mix Tobey, Andrew, Tom, Spectacular and ITSV Miles into this show and its damn near perfect. I couldnt have described a better show Alex, well done.

I really want this show right now!! Excellent job Alex again wish you the best

I hate how much I agree with everything you said and relate to everything you feel about Spider-Man and Peter. Love you Alex!

Man you really have a way of reminding me how magical some of these characters are, awesome work brother

I love this video so much. I’ve been working on my own Spider-Man fan series. I’m in the midst of the casting for it right now and it’s so exciting! Though mine is animated, this actually sounds a lot like what we’re working on. Seeing this got me so fired up and confident about what I’m doing. So thanks man! 😁🕷️

Dude i would watch this yesterday. Good job.

This editing is so good. An already hightop classic 🙏🏽🙌

Your best video ever! Wonderful storytelling. You get all the characters, maybe better than everyone.

This is incredible! I know it would probably never happen but as a Die hard spidey fan this is something I’d love to see!

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

Something like this would truly capture what made spider-man so great, getting to see each episode/issue as peter goes through relatable struggles all with the burden of responsibility and watching our favourite characters rise and fall. Another great video Alex, i was just wondering what camera you use, I’m looking into getting into filmmaking myself and wondering if you have any advice for budget filmmaking

I've been exited to see this sence I voted for it! I would be so happy to see more videos like this. I love your idea of peter and MJ and I love how you took examples from the mtv show. I'd love to see you make more videos like this. Like a Batman show with you in the director chair.

Alright. I can't think of a better idea for Spiderman than that. I would love to see something more character oriented like that. Good to have you back. Looking forward to more of your stuff

You are always amazing when it comes to stories and plot writing.

That was outstanding. Great job, man. I really wish for this kind of Spider-Man show as well.

I thought I missed the Red Hood premiere. I glad you're still perfecting it

Alex you do not miss. You seriously are a legend of RU-vid, your understanding of storytelling these infamous characters is incredible. Much love ❤

Honestly, peak. I say this as not a huge Spiderman fan, absolute peak. You deserve to be so much more popular, your videos give me comfort that I haven’t felt from RU-vid since I was in middle school. Please, PLEASE keep up the fantastic work.

That first scene was amazing, I mean this whole video was amazing but I need to send this to people so I can finally explain how much I love those sorts off scenes and why superhero films but especially Spider-Man films, need more stuff like that. Thank you so much for just that scene holy shit this whole video is great but just wow

Great video man! Thanks!

Man you have an incredible talent for writing! I would be GLUED after that opening scene.

This video is perfect. I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for ages and watching your incredible in depth videos, and this is the video I wanted to see most from you. Your ideas sound incredible! I would love to tell you my ideas. good job on Jason it looks brilliant

Absolute smashing video. Had me gripped from the start😊

Videos like this truly inspire me to want to get out and create man, just wanted to give you your props because what your doing is really and inspiration to a lot of people even if it isn’t always said to you

havent seen u in a long time bro but u inspire me alot pls keep up the good work

You’re my favorite person on this platform. My only regret is that I didn’t get the chance to grow up hearing what you had to say, keep pushing on, you have a voice and a damn good one

This is amazing, literally. This series needs to be made

been watching since homecoming and man… this is a work of art. one of those pitches you hear and it hurts because it’s not being made currently

I've been wanting to tackle writing my own Spidey Story for a while now, but never knew how to write it. Just listening to that very first sentence you typed about him genuinely asking just HOW you are, it gave me such a big wave of motivation. Thank you for that.

Great video HiTop, your creativity never ceases to amaze

This is amazing I NEED to see it!

There are quite a few episodes of various Spider-Man shows that focuses more on Peter and his friends rather than the super villain of the week

Another amazing HiTop upload!

Bro, that was amazing. I would love to see something like this.

This video makes me wanna be able to like as many times as you can!! This is amazing!!!

This is something that I never knew I wanted until now! It’s so sad that you had such an amazing pitch that we might never see. 😢

There's no way Hollywood could even scratch this level of writing. Only couple of times a year, someone manages to sneak in a good script, get it funded, get it directed, and get it released.

For years I’ve had this dream of my own superhero show, and this pitch was just everything that I’ve ever wanted from it. We need a show and a hero depicted like this, whether it be Spider-Man or someone completely new.

one of the best videos you every made

Great first scene, bro!!! F***ing Great! I would like to see it, truly)))

i didn't grow up with spiderman comics or shows so he was just another character for me, i mean, i did watch the Toby saga when i was a kid but it never became more than just random movies on tv. However, i've always been aware of how loved this character and his world are and hearing your pitch made me see why. I would love to watch this show ✨🙌✨ You did a fantastic job :)

Almost got me in tears watching this man..Knowing we'll never get this..If ever we do, hope it's you who would make it happen. You got a vision, brother. Just keep going

I love your earnestness and enthusiasm for Spiderman, as well as this potential story. You should honestly write it. This video was beautiful, and it captured what I love about heroes like Batman and Spiderman - they show a hero's journey where they contend with real life, including their pain and insecurities, not just supervilliains.
