Joss Whedon's Spider-Man

The problem with TASM (and MOS,for that matter) is trying to squeeze a "light" character into a dark & bleak film.Both Spidey & Supe's strength is the wish fulfilment.The sense of exhilaration of being them for an hour,and then having to go back to your day job.Both films completely sacrificed that angle in a misguided attempt to have us "feel their pain".

Now,I'm not saying that neither character has had their struggles,dark moments,blah,blah,blah-but if you start with that "grim" tone,you lose much of the core character.

They are origin stories. They are all about introducing the characters.
TASM had humour throughout the film were MOS did not have any where near as much.
