Spider-Man in Hell 

What's so inspiring about the character of Spider-man is his ability to endure. To go through these hardships, to have that anger, to be pushed to his breaking point, and in the end, making it out a stronger than he was before.

"What a f***ing pretentious way to end this essay" Yeah, it's like it's in his name or something

Funny How the Prowler IS a turming point for both Peter and Milles in diferent ways and scenarios

Jonah has no patience for bigots. I always dig the moments like that where Jameson shows that he's not all bad. Like I love the scene in the first Raimi film when JJ doesn't sell Peter out to the Goblin, even though it could easily cost him his life. Sure, Jonah's a dickhead, but in his own way he's a stand-up guy.

Really glad that no non-comic Spider-Man media featuring Harry adapted his mustache.

Comics Peter didn’t even need the symbiote to become Bully Maguire (X

10:10 I'd love to see Tom Holland give a speech like that in the future movies.

14:07 I almost cheered when you said you were gonna go through Gerry Conway's run and keep going with this series! I could listen to and watch these essays for days

Ditko’s Peter is sometimes comes off as that kid, who, if he wasn’t a superhero probably would have turned into something worse…you know what it is, it happens pretty too often nowadays with guys like that…

Now this is a weird turn to take the "Emissary of Hell" on--wait a second wrong Spider--

i feel like after NWH it’s the perfect time to have that angry peter in these comics

I knew Spider-Man from the Raimi movies as a kid. And when Tasm came out, i kinda followed people when they said Peter Parker is supposed to be a shy and awkward loser, not some confident hothead. That was until i read the Lee/Ditko and into the Lee/Romita and Conway/Kane runs. I was surprised to see how different Peter was in contrast to the Raimi films. Andrew was my favourite version of Spider-Man even tho at the time i thought he was the least accurate, but after reading those runs, it made me love Andrew's version even more since he's in fact probably the most accurate Peter. It's funny how people get so worked up when someone says Tobey is the least comic accurate Peter when they don't even know how comic Peter even acts like. Like damn, i remember that Spider-Man 2 scene where Harry just bitch slaps Peter and Peter takes it like a lil chump. Comic Peter and I bet if Andrew's Peter would definitely fight back if they were in the same situations.

I would love to see someone's take on this original version of Peter. I love a lot of the current adaptations, but they've kind of doomed us. So far, the mentality of "we don't need to see his origin story a million times" has prevailed, meaning we likely won't see a proper one for a while. If we don't get the fresh start, it'll be harder to present new takes on the character that are so different from the popular renditions we know

You're doing the lord's work with these Spider-Man retrospectives. Spider-Man fandom has gone so far off the rails on what a classic Stan Lee version of the character is meant to entail and this collection of mini video documentaries is preserving and chronicling that history absolutely beautifully. ...what a #! @*&% pretentious way to comment on this video.

"Spider-man in Hell" *Me knowing what will happen 21 issues later* 😐

They advertise Peter as a timid teenager and a wall flower in Amazing Fantasy 15 that's why people think he's supposed to be shy and awkward

The more u mention just how much in these comics old ppl are against young ppl it makes me realize another part of why Spider-Man must’ve been so beloved back then.

*Perter angrily sleeps.* "PFFFFFFFF-"

I agree that Robbie Brown works as reflection of Peter but, I think this can be apply to most of Spider man villains. Just like Peter, they are usually blue collar criminals or victims of scientific accidents, whose goals are just stealing banks or taking over the New York underworld. Some of them even have their personal lifes affected by their role as criminals and have to deal with the consequeces for their actions. A good exemple is Kingpin, who has story that show how him being a crime lord cost him his relationship with his family because Fisk refuse to realize his mistakes and take responsabilitiy for his crimes and the effect they are having on his wife and son, unlike Peter, who tries to balance both his normal and super hero life.

Idk what it says about me, but my favorite emotion for Peter to display is anger. Lashing out at a world that keeps him down and batters him. Going too far with retribution and hurting those around him, and eventually clearing his mind and making amends. Peter’s anger always brings growth.

I'm currently at issue 121, at Gerry Conway's run and it's great so far.

Man I think the MCU writers and Kevin Feige are gonna really benefit from those videos you're making. it's gonna aid them tremendously in writing the next chapter of Peter's life.

Bro, I was getting serious withdrawal pains from not being steady intake of your videos!

"Harry is also gone for a while due to his *drUg* problems"

The fact youve only gone through the tip of the iceberg of Peters character really shows how masterfully Peter is written. You didnt mention his guilt complex, responsibility complex and the many dynamics with different characters and much more. Fantastic video

I love your spiderman videos. Thank you for all of them

4:47 Fun Fact: Hoby Brown is also the name of a character in the Spectacular Spider-Man show, the black highschool football player who is part of Flash's friend group-he's the one used for the joke of everyone interrupting him before he can say anything.

Its time to let Peter Parker be happy. I really don’t get why Spider-Man fans have become so obsessed with this idea that unless Peter is absolutely miserable throughout the entire movie, it’s not a good Spider-Man story. One of my main problems with Spider-Man 2 is that they went too far with showing Spider-Man damaging his personal life. It shouldn’t be so one sided. I’m not saying everything has to be perfect in his life as those hardships help define who he is, but the way some of these fans want to see Peter absolutely depressing is really frustrating.

You’re three part Series on Stan Lee’s work on Spidey and the countless of other videos have given me a brand new insight into this hero. It’s made me reassess who Spider-Man really is and has given me a huge respect for the comics. :))) i’m reading all 100 of stan lee’s work and saving these videoes thanks to you :))

That's something I've been telling people for a while. Comic book's Peter Parker is a hot head, every first encounter with another superhero goes to blows because after the other hero refuses to hear his version, Spidey says fuck It and attacks back.

This 4 part series of the Spider-Man comics was amazing, very insightful. Well done man!

Honestly it’s cool to see how far you have gone from the beginning of the channel to now with much improved editing and tons more confidence. Keep it up. PS would love to see a Peter B Parker character study it would be fun.

One thing I love about your essays is just how much heart you put into them because of your love for Spidey. Can't wait to see what else you upload this year!

"Peter angrily sleeps" is the greatest Spider-Man blurb period.

Haven’t watched it yet but I already know this essay is going to be another certified banger

I’d love to see you continue covering Spider-Man well into the 80s-90s, maybe even Web of and Spectacular titles

Face it, dude. You're never gonna stop talking about Spider-Man.

coming onto youtube and seeing this uploaded 5 mins ago, let’s go fantastic gwen voice

9:50 God, Robbie's reaction is priceless

As a young person I understand what Spidey’s going through…

And once again another excellent video about Spider-Man. Your channel is a treat and I truly believe that out of all of the channels that I have seen do hundreds, if not thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Marvel video essays analyzing the characters' character arcs, their stories, their villains, and how they properly coincide with the heroes, you truly do the best job I've seen a video essayist do, that I've seen, in an extremely long time. I would like to ask if you could do a video analyzing Spider-Man and Black Cat's relationship evolution within the Marvel Comics and how both characters have evolved within the Earth 616 throughout the 60 years that Spider-Man has been around.

Do you think you could do a similar retrospective on Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis?

Commenting for engagement, love your content!

“Spider-Man in hell” Spider-Man: What the-?! *glares at Mephisto* Mephisto: Hey, don’t look at me! I’m not involved with this one for a change!

Man, you are going to LOVE our Spider-Man film!!

I hope the college trilogy builds up to the proper MCU sinister six. If I where to guess these are the candidates I think have a possibility: Vulture - While Adrian doesn’t remember Peter anymore he does remember Spider-Man and he will be out for vengeance since him being outed as a villain had permanently changed his and his families lives. He’s also among Spider-Man’s memorable rogues to be in the Sinister Six, even being one of its founders. Scorpion - To say that he’s out for blood is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Mac wants to slaughter Spider-Man and Homecoming set him up perfectly. Even if he appears as either Scorpion or Venom (considering No Way Home’s post credits scene) he would be the teams most dangerous member. Shocker - While just being a loser villain and having a small part in the movie I still think it could set up Herman for the future. It could develop him further as a character and as a villain. While he would be the least 3-dimensional character of the team he would still make an impact since his gauntlets are MIGHTY dangerous. And while this villain isn’t in the MCU I still think they set him up in No Way Home. Hobgoblin - While many would see Hobgoblin as a discount Green Goblin he has done plenty of things to prove those claims wrong. While I definitely believe it won’t be Ned (since it would be for no reason) I still think Hobgoblin could be a real asset to the team. Maybe he’s the one to build the gear some of his other team mates will use like Vulture wings, scorpion tails and vibro gauntlets. If you wonder how I think No Way Home set up Hobgoblin it’s by Green Goblin leaving the goblin helmet behind. It could take from the comics on how he found green goblin’s equipment and used it to become a supervillain. Why I don’t think it’s Ned is because he has no reason to be evil and even if they use the “brainwashed ” plot it would still be out of nowhere and a stupid coincidence that of all people Hobgoblin chose it just HAPPENED to be Ned. If Ned turns evil I bet it would feel really forced and out of nowhere.

Since Spider man is going to have a new trilogy in the MCU, I hope the final movie take some inspirations from Amazing Spider Man 100, showing Peter having a battle in his mind and developing as hero while he reflects about his memories and all he went through during this six movies (making the both the old and the new trilogy a huge tribute to Stan Lee's run). Maybe they could take some inspiration from Spectacular Spider man and finally do the "black suit saga" right, with Peter finding and becoming corrupt by the suit in the end of the first movie, or during the second, then in the third he could understand what the symbiote actually is and the two have a mental duel, with Peter defeating the alien with the memories of Aunt May and all his friends, who inspiring him to overcome his doubts and anxiety (represent by the symbiote).

Song is Death With Dignity ;)

Dude, all your essays about Spidy made me get back into reading it all from the start. Fingers crossed that i stick with it this time.

Awesome job with the video I have been a Spider-Man comic fan since I was 5 and I have learned pretty much everything about him and I’m only in my teens

Jesus Christ man, your content is fucking amazing

I don't want these comic essays to end.. they're so good!

Holy cow, I am so grateful that you are doing this retrospective right now. I have always known that Stan Lee tried to keep his finger on the pulse of social justice, but I had no idea how chillingly accurate this writing was and crushingly still is.

3:02 Spider-Man 1's beginning, Spider-Man 2 kinda, Spider-Man 3 Emo Peter cathartic to me even as a kid. Peter even gets the staff job

@implicitly pretentious hopefully you’ll do an analysis on ultimate spider man

Have you read any of Dan Slott's run? People were very critical of it because they thought it made peter look like a jerk but peter has always been juavanile, whiny, self-loathing the whole point is that when he's spiderman he can put that aside and do what's right

Uff, now I don't know whether to read Ultimate, JMS Run or stay with the originals no matter how difficult they are to read

So THIS is the period that the Brand New Day team love so much.

At least it didn’t end with Trauma 😂 Great Video BTW

Your videos are extremely well put together!

Loving these essays

Love your videos especially the Spider-Man ones keep up the great work

It has been so fun! Keep on making things you like🔥❤️

Your channel is one of the best in youtube, your content is amazing! Keep it up, my man!

I come back to this video every time I go through a rough patch thanks for making it

Love it, my god love this era of comics, and seeing it be analyze with the love that it deserves. And also remind everyone of the full circle that Spider-Man almost went through. Love it, this video analyzing the original comics are some of my favorite videos on your channel... But then again im a hardcore Spidey fan, i just love to see good or interesting ways to see the character. And in a world that just remembers certain stuff, this is such a joy. So thanks for this videos.

Good luck man. Finding everything from 100-875 my thoughts a prays on with you

babe wake up! new implicitly pretentious spider man video just dropped!

I love your videos, main thing is I learn a lot from them about life in general and people and how we can do better

7:30 A lot better than the first Amazing Spider-Man film where before he dies after helping Peter stop Lizard George Stacy tells him to break up with Gwen to protect her only for Peter to get back with her at the end ultimately causing her death in the 2nd film.

Wait... is Bully Maguire a more accurate Spidy?

Amazing, or should I say spectacular? Anyway I loved this series of video essays, thank you.

Great video !! Maybe some time can you do Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle's run on Detective Comics from #583 to 621

Great video

Yo love those Essentials just gotten 9 books of them and up to Vol4 of Spidey.

No one: Not a single soul: RU-vid out of nowhere: Spider-Man in hell

I'd like to see Peter begin as a douche bag and not as a quirky geek. Would be cool. Andrew Garfield was the closest

Chat peter don't leave me nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Indeed. I can't wait for the 80s Web of Spiderman

Huhuhuhu..."blow my stack"

Y'know, it would be kind of hilarious if Pete's first hundred issues had all been him actually in Hell being tormented by an elaborate illusion created by Mephisto after he died from that radioactive spider bite. Not quite sure why the Red Guy would come up with such an implausible scenario for some random damned soul or what Pete would have done to merit damnation (I suppose original sin would do for Christians) but it would certainly be a shocking twist. And no matter how badly it was handled it still wouldn't be the worst Spider-man story with Mephisto in it. :)

I'd really like to hear your thoughts on Nick Spencer's run.

Good job

In my universe it’s Aaron that’s the original Prowler. What happens is that just like in the comics Spider-Man encounters Prowler and fights him multiple times but also learns about him as a person. He learns about Aaron’s strained relationship with his brother or Aaron’s moral code. One time Spidey encounters Aaron on the roof. Aaron confirms that he isn’t looking for a fight anytime soon as he’s processing the fact that he’s an uncle (setting up Miles Morales years before his debut) and Peter happily congratulate him. The only difference however is that he somewhat fails in what Peter succeeds in mentally and that’s sadly what keeps him as a villain. It isn’t until Miles gets involved after he becomes Spider-Man that he truly changes. And yes Hobbie also appears but just as a cat burglar with a costume that references him being the prowler in the comics.

is there a way where I can find your essays as a pdf file maybe? or any form of files my question is do you publish your scripts somewhere? And thank you for you amazing work man.

Yayy new video! Absolutely love your these Spider-Man video essay things that you've been doing on the comic runs! I'm really disappointed what they did to Hobie Brown in the comics because his version of Prowler is far more compelling than Aaron Davis

It’s here

"JJ may be a petty and rude moron, but he's not racist" Professionals have standards

Please do Dick Grayson and his development from happy go lucky Robin to depressed and figuring himself Grayson to self assured and confident leader Nightwing

I thought you were going to talk about OMD and that ordeal.

Spider-Man's prison reform arc is still not solved but got worse even between with the case of Calif Browder

That final quite from Stan Lee is now no longer an interest iung insight. It's common knowledge.

3:33 has Harry been at the Nutella jar again or has he grown a mustache 🤔

Do peacemaker show

i feel like miles in the mcu should be inspired by the prowler mentioned here as well as his uncle aaron’s prowler

I need to know the name of the song from the beginning or I might die

So gerry Conway run of spiderman now

So spider or the man leads into morbin time? 12:32

Bro you have a severe spider man problem

i guess you're explicitly pretentious now.
