Spiderman or Superman

Spiderman for sure! Cause a wise cracking, snarky sense of humor beats out a square pants personality any day. (no offense to Superman fans.)0

as superheroes they are both pretty lame. Avengers all the way.0

I'll have to go with the son of Jor-El. He is a legitimate super hero - spidey got his powers from juicing.

Spider-Man. Hands down.
Spider-Man was a revolutionary character because he broke the mold. Before then all the heroes were adults with kid sidekicks. Peter Parker was a teenager. Even Stan Lee's editor thought he was crazy making a kid the main character. But that just made it easier for young readers to relate to the problems Peter Parker was going through. He didn't get the cute girl. He wasn't a billionaire playboy. He didn't even have a mother and father, plus his uncle dies because of his own actions. There was nothing like that in the world of comics. A character with real problems that people could relate to.
Superman? He's well regarded for being the first real superhero. Other than that I'm hard pressed to say much good about him. He's the embodiement of what's right and what's good, but every character was back then. He has every power, he never has to struggle at anything. His alter ego is ridiculous. They haven't been able to make a decent movie out of the character since Christopher Reeves and even those are questionable, (1 & 2 you can argue are good, 3 & 4 are a joke).
Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, wins by virtue of being more interesting and relateable.
QFT...yup...all of this.0 -

I think those movies suck because it's really hard to enjoy a movie where the main character is practically invulnerable. I mean even Thor get's his *kitten* kicked in his movies and he can take a punch from the Hulk and the Cursed. In the new Superman movie, he took a beating but was completely unscathed, felt like a waste of beating on each other for 30 minutes!0 -
One of the New Avengers plus he worked with the original Avengers, so by your own argument, Spiderman is the better choice. :bigsmile:What Brett saidas superheroes they are both pretty lame. Avengers all the way.

I hate when people bash people for others for their choice to be a "conformist".
Usually coming from the same people who would say "you are just close minded" when they themselves are being close minded.
One can like superman and not be lame. Few other superheroes are so awesome that their biggest obstacle is controlling their awesome either...0 -

I disagree with the bold part, you can't be cool and like Superman, it's just not possible...0 -

I'm not understanding the question. Who is better? Like, who would win in a fight? Which super hero's artistic style was better? Who's story was better? There are so many ways to approach this question it hurts the brain. Which one was made into a better movie? Who had the better emo strut?0

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't do much to help him be relateable, or add to any dramatic moments in a conflict. If the character's only concern is not beating up the bad guy TOO much...
It's kind of like a guy who's so rich he's not sure what to spend his money on. No one really roots for that guy or can relate in any way.
well, the new movie kinda screwed up my statement anyway, as superman killed probably in the 6 digits, but to keep the PG13 rating, they could show any of the collateral damage.
I'm anxious to see how the world doesn't HATE him to start the next movie. I would if I lived in that world...0 -

It's not his fault!!! He's pretty much Godzilla in the new movie lol
Also a super hero that can't kill is really lame, Marvel does that so much better, look at Captain America, he's a goody two shoes but seriously "expletive deleted" up some "expletive deleted" in the first 5 minutes of Winter Soldier0 -
The only thing I like about the reboot is that they don't ignore the whole Gwen Stacy character. That was the one thing in the original set of movies that irked me to no end.
the spiderman reboot has tainted that whole movie legacy...
I'll agree with you there. You see how much of a comic nerd I am and I couldn't even watch those.0 -

yeah, but he's so lame he can't even carry his own movie post Avengers awesome. We gotta have sidecharacters in tight leather and cool outfits to help him in his own movie.0 -

I prefer the new ones, Parker and the story line is more accurate when compared to the comics and the web shooters(although I didn't mind them being part of his powers in the first movies) are cooler. Also the introduced Black cat...0 -
