Behold the Japanese Spider-Man. Not exactly the Sam Raimi vision of the hero, but
this one is a lot more "yay yay wow," as they say. Apparently.
Why is it that everything the Japanese touch have to involve people in low-low budget costumes voguing
for a long time before calling upon a 50-foot robot version of themselves?
Yes, this is a hero. If he were a Japanese villain, he'd look less like an alleyway rapist and more like a
teenage Midwest cosplayer with no budget.
And how many problems does Spider-Man deal with that requires calling down an enormous flying Transformer?
If his goal was to demolish giant swaths of Wall Street, sure, that thing would come in handy. But
I can't imagine that anything Werewolf would come up with could possibly pose as big a threat to
world safety than a wrist-controlled missile that turns into a giant thing with fists.
Oh well. At least people who get caught in the Japanese Spider-Man's webs wave their arms and convulse a lot.
