Something I love about this origin is it's one of the first to have an arc to it. With a few exceptions, most origins are the time just treated an origin as the starting point, Spider-Man actually has to change as a person before he can go from an everyday person to an adventurer.
Another side note, Crusher Hogan is the older brother of Iron Man's chauffeur and bodyguard Happy Hogan, thus making him Pepper Potts' ex-brother-in-law. Crusher, Happy, Pepper, does anyone have a realistic name in comics?
Bad habits of announcing every personal thought like a Shakespeare play aside, I do actually find the origins here portrayed rather nicely! There seems to be a nice build-up of how Peter Parker learns the iconic lesson "With great power comes great responsibility," plus Peter's obvious dislike of the public around him due to a majority of people disliking him for his nerdiness, which was pulled off nicely! "And now my fingers are honking! 8I" I bursted out laughing the first time I heard that!
It's not subtle but it's still a classic setup for the character. I personally love how it's followed up in Amazing Spider-Man #1; Peter returns to showbiz but he can't take the check the producer writes for him because they refuse to write a check to Spider-Man. It's a funny little note
My mom's work used to have Newspapers with Issues of The Amazing Spider Man delivered. She'd grab the comics and give them to me. Spiderman is my favorite.
I wont deny Spider-man is still my favorite hero in comics even to this day, i wont ever hate the guy, i just may hate some stories with him, One more day for example
***** the first villain I knew from Spider-man was Venom, Carnage soon after, so they were my first villains. and I was in the same boat as you in that regard. angel7661 yeah I know right?
Sasuke Uchiha agreed, what's your favorite storyline? My two are either the black suit/ venom saga or maximum carnage, so you can tell by my favorite Spider-Man storyline, my profile picture and name, I'm a huge fan of symbiotes.
You ever think Peter might have a mental issue that gets him to constantly blame himself for things? I know it's something that's flandarized for his Randomverse incarnation to a degree but it could be a thing...
+Lord Typh From what I recall, all the other superheros think Spidey's carrying a bit too much there. The only one who INSULTS him for it (which probably makes him feel worse) is Wolverine, but he's a jackass.
@@RyutheWeredragon True, but on the other hand, Wolverine has admitted Spider-man is one of the few people he trusts without reservation and was the person he decided to spend his birthday with (because everyone else Wolvie knows thinks he's a remorseless killer).
8:12 this reminds me of a scene in Mosaic where she discovers she can wall crawl but a little boy with his mother sees her and says "Look mom! It's Spider-Man!" Mosaic goes camoflauge (she has chameleon based powers) and the mom says something like "no more comic books for you, young man!"
10:45 “Well, only a science major could have created a device like this!” And yet, decades later, an alternate version of you(who was an anime schoolgirl with a robot) rebuilt a computer into a tiny flash drive with all the data from said computer on the drive.

Why would a mother even bring their child to a horror movie in the 60's? I mean nowadays with all these PG-13 horror films, and some parents not thinking certain things through, many families go to see horror films... But in the 60's I just couldn't see a mother thinking that taking their child to a horror movie would be a good idea.
they weren't bad in 1962. this might also have been a dig against the Comics Code which made it impossible to sell horror comics for a number of years. at the time of this story most horror movies would get a G rating if they came out today.
They aren't bad in proprotion to our standards today, but our tolerance to violence has always escelated, very rapidly in recent years. The Exorcist was considered abhorrent at it's time, allegedly causing people to faint and go hysteric in the theatres. It sounds ridiculous, but that's because entertainment has evolved in areas of grotesque imagery and psychological disturbance alike. This is from a time when "At midnight, I'll take your soul" was considered pushing the boundaries of good taste. It was only around the 70s, when movies like Last House on the Left and it's kin began to surface and truly push the limits of acceptable content. The 60s was an innocent time, when Hammer productions like Dracula and Frankenstein were considered "the limit."
Movie (and comic book) horror of the 60s was much less offensive than comic horror of the early 50s. The 60s in many ways was a return to earlier more innocent times before people started pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable again. The same thing happened in the mid-30s with the Hays Office. Horror films were blocked for a couple of years and forced to become less violent. Bride of Frankenstein made soon after had humorous scenes in it and made the Monster sympathetic. Later films made him a mindless destructive creature.
How ironic is it that the "And I thought Batman was the detective" was voiced by Efrem Zimbalist Jr. who Voiced Doctor Octopus in the 1994 Spider-Man Cartoon and 2000 Spider-Man Video Game
Interesting to go back to these older episodes and notice how your voice acting skills have improved. Not saying that you were bad back then, just gotten better :)
Surprised no recent comment talked about coming back to this after the Spider-Verse movie. Welp here I go saying that yes, time to re-experience the origin
Had this issue been reviewed around recently, the Tom Holland lip sync thing might end up as the clip following the "Clearly they never see Peter when he gets his groove on" joke. Though the Spider-Man 3 clip is probably still funnier
+OrangeRangerVideos Might have watched classic Frankenstein or Dracula vs. the Wolfman at home. Both are classic horror films, but even by 1960s standards, they weren't necessarily *that* scary.
Back in the fifties and sixties horror/monster movies were seen entertainment for kids. It's one of the major reasons night of the living dead was so controversial at the time
This is another reason I don't care about Aunt May being played by Marissa Tomei in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: it makes LESS sense that she and Uncle Ben appear to be in their 80s with a teenage nephew!
It's obvious at this point that his costume is red and black with blue highlights. At some point the highlights took over. A couple of years later his costume was purple and orange-red for awhile. No one knows why.
I dunno - the whole point of the original origin was that Peter was being a selfish prat and that scene in the movie implies he did it to get back at the arena boss for not paying him. Misguided revenge doesn't strike me as true to Peter's character.

Most super hero origin stories are pretty lousy or don't hold up over time. Spider-Man is one of the few exceptions as nearly every iteration is close to the original plot. There's a reason they love rebooting it in the movies because it's a solid story where as most origins are just trivial things you want to quickly get out of the way.
I think it helps that Spider-Man is one of the relatively few superheroes whose origin is very important to the kind of hero he is. Compared that with Superman's origin. Yes, his Kryptonian roots are vital in the sense that they (and Earth's yellow sun) form the basis of his powers, but his moral character has nothing to do with his Kryptonian parents and everything to do with the Kents.
12 cents was the cost of the comics, and in 1962, 12 cents is $1.03 in 2020, so the comics are overall cheaper back then cuz now they cost 3 or 4 bucks.
In fact, Peter is the one who was manipulating everyone not only Mary Jane, but aunt May, Harry, Flash and many others just to be Spider-man. Not taking the acountability of working a real job as he was meant with his intelect. He dropped out of university just to be Spider-man and was fired from a science lab because he was absent so often. Mary Jane was in depression because he was almost never around and surprise surprise she was the breadwinner in their family while he was playing the superhero. Most of the times aunt May needed him because she had health issues he was fighting criminals instead of being next to his closest person, who loved him unconditionally. He prefers to help people who hate Spider-man in a lot of times than be next to his loved ones in need. Literally Peter Parker is like Peter Pan refusing to grow up.

retcon. in the original story it falls into Peter's hand, bites him, and dies. it doesn't live long enough to crawl over to anyone else.
Most super hero origin stories are pretty lousy or don't hold up over time. Spider-Man is one of the few exceptions as nearly every iteration is close to the original plot. There's a reason they love rebooting it in the movies because it's a solid story where as most origins are just trivial things you want to quickly get out of the way.
I think it helps that Spider-Man is one of the relatively few superheroes whose origin is very important to the kind of hero he is. Compared that with Superman's origin. Yes, his Kryptonian roots are vital in the sense that they (and Earth's yellow sun) form the basis of his powers, but his moral character has nothing to do with his Kryptonian parents and everything to do with the Kents.
Can anyone tell me the issues where spider-man is teaming up with crusher, and the ones with Crusher's back story? I want to check them out.

Amazing Spider-Man 15: More simpler times for Peter Parker
100 dollars in 1962 was about 857.99 in 2020.
12 cents was the cost of the comics, and in 1962, 12 cents is $1.03 in 2020, so the comics are overall cheaper back then cuz now they cost 3 or 4 bucks.
Anything having to do with Peter Parker-616 just enrages me.
In fact, Peter is the one who was manipulating everyone not only Mary Jane, but aunt May, Harry, Flash and many others just to be Spider-man. Not taking the acountability of working a real job as he was meant with his intelect. He dropped out of university just to be Spider-man and was fired from a science lab because he was absent so often. Mary Jane was in depression because he was almost never around and surprise surprise she was the breadwinner in their family while he was playing the superhero. Most of the times aunt May needed him because she had health issues he was fighting criminals instead of being next to his closest person, who loved him unconditionally. He prefers to help people who hate Spider-man in a lot of times than be next to his loved ones in need. Literally Peter Parker is like Peter Pan refusing to grow up.
turns out, Peter/Spider-Man was never really a likable character from the original comics. In fact, Peter is the one who was manipulating everyone not only Mary Jane, but aunt May, Harry, Flash and many others just to be Spider-man.

Honestly, my favorite version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man will always be the Insomiac Games version.
I agree completely! The Insomniac iteration is such a chill guy while being pretty funny as Spider-Man.
10 years of the best secret origins month episode ever
14:09 Ahhhhh! Pupils!
Goodman- say Stan, you know that Spider-Man character we like? Let’s make a series.
Lee- Sure Martin, I’ll get right on that.
I worked at a comic book shop for 8 years, and my boss had this comic in the floor vault.
REST IN PEACE STEVE DITKO! MAY YOU DWELL IN PARADISE! i LOVED your work!
unfortunately there are a lot of "THRU"s in the early comics
Spider-Man Spider-Man
Mass destruction across the land
Makes a bomb any size
And he's yours to customize
OH YEA!!! Your very own....
...Wait, I think I fucked this up....
I remember the opening panel being parodied in a Simpsons comic, with Bart and Millhouse being forced to watch an old Troy McClure movie and riff on it. Bart asks the same question about why a dance would need a quota.
Amazin' that they ended in a somber note~ 😅
Thru is just an alternative spelling of through
Ahhh! Spider-Man has eyeballs!
Huh, seems this origin is mostly the same as the origin in the Sam Raimi movies. Neat.
