And this movie did lead to two seasons of a live-action TV show and two more TV movies, which is more than the other ‘70s Marvel shows. I can respect that the movie didn’t just play out the whole origin story that takes up the movie and sacrifices the action - except that Peter’s transformation into Spider-Man is very hollow. ![]() Again, this is very much a cheap ‘70s villain. Then our hero is able to turn Byron’s brainwashing equipment on him and hypnotizes the bad guy into turning himself over to the police. Spider-Man is ultimately able to turn the tables on Byron by tapping into the microwaves to release the hypnotized victims. I don’t care what anyone says, that is exactly what that noise sounds like. But in 1977, writers decided to give the popular Marvel superhero, Spider-Man a whirl for a live-action show, and thus, we got The Amazing Spider-Man.īyron programs his victims to respond to his commands (which is usually to rob a bank at gunpoint or commit suicide) whenever they hear a noise that sounds like a sick duck. They would usually test the waters by releasing a Marvel made-for-TV movie that was meant to serve as the show’s “pilot.” In the case of Dr. Strange (1978) review, I mentioned how many TV producers and writers in the ‘70s and ‘80s wanted to capitalize on the success of the 1970s Incredible Hulk TV series by making other Marvel live-action TV shows. Back in 1977, Marvel and Columbia Pictures teamed up on a live-action Spidey adventure, but after watching it, I can’t say I’m surprised it took another three decades to make Peter Parker a legitimate movie star. ![]() Spider-Man helped kick off the current era of superhero movie domination back in 2002 when Tobey Maguire put on Spidey’s suit to fight Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, but that wasn’t the first time someone thought it might be a good idea to make a Spider-Man movie. ![]()
