Spider-Man 1977 is a far cry from the modern MCU. Understandably, as it was made 45 years ago. This film felt more like aWilliam Hartnell Doctor Who episode with elements of a police procedural drama. There was much more focus on science and actually saving people’s lives. Indeed, Spidey saves the day using his scientific knowledge. While this may ...
Nicholas Hammond is a good Spider-Man. He showed Peter Parker’s shyness and haplessness, as well as the character’s goodness and desire to help. Hammond also displayed good physical acting when Peter fell under Byron’s mind control. Moreover, Hammond sold Peter’s reaction to his new powers.

Spider-Man 1977’s incidental music put me in mind of ’60s Doctor Who. Especially the dissonant theme used when characters fell under Byron’s mind control.

Indeed, the villain is brought to justice non-violently and there is no angst or subversion of established superhero tropes. Probably...

People talk about the 90s series or Spectacular and everyone has at some point heard of the Spider-verse movies. even Japanese Spider-man is discussed to some extent. But i feel like 77's Spidey is left out of the conversation and its actually kinda good.
Anyone seen it or any of the 70s Spider-Man live action stuff let me know if it’s worth checking out or avoid it like the plague? Nobody's responded to this post yet. Add your thoughts and get the conversation going.

May 15, 2023 · For those who have never seen the original 1978-79 Spider-Man TV show (and that’s most of you, since it has never been released on Blu-ray, DVD or streaming), it was commissioned as a TV movie that would serve as a “backdoor pilot” to an ongoing series.
