Chapter 36
Especially when he swung into midair and leaped toward a skyscraper.
The building's glass reflected Spider-Man's distinctive figure, as if the audience were looking into a mirror themselves!
In that moment, everyone was Spider-Man!
"That's the feeling! Here it comes again!"
"I fucking love this movie!"
"At midnight, the zero-show starts—we'll come watch it again!"
"Alright, alright, I've got the same idea!"
Leonard, Xie Erdun, Wei Bu, and Raj were already soaked through! They wished they could watch it two more times!
How could one viewing possibly satisfy?
Other Marvel fans around them felt the same!
Who says live-action comic adaptations are all trash? Who says comics can't be brought to the big screen?
Who says Chinese actors can't play Spider-Man well?
Didn't Mark Webb perfectly bring Spider-Man to life?
Xu Can brought Spider-Man to life!
Who knew Spider-Man's coolness would last only three seconds? Just moments ago, his dazzling stunts had thrilled everyone, and the next second, his phone rang inside his backpack.
Spider-Man was pulled back to reality.
"Peter, are you busy? You didn't answer your phone."
"No, I'm not busy."
Peter hastily answered Aunt May's call, just like an ordinary high school boy.
"Remember to buy a carton of eggs when you come back."
"Organic eggs? No problem."
This is what sets Spider-Man apart from other superheroes.
Other heroes fly and vanish underground, possessing all sorts of abilities.
But Spider-Man remains down-to-earth—he's always your good neighbor, the boy next door.
No wonder Spidey has maintained such enduring popularity.
Just as Spider-Man was about to buy eggs and head home, the phone rang again.
Gwen Shi Daixi invited Peter to dinner at her place.
After spending time together, they had become good friends.
Peter gladly accepted, showing up in casual clothes for an awkward dinner.
On the balcony, the iconic scene occurred: Peter used his web to pull Gwen back and kissed her deeply.
He revealed his identity as Spider-Man and confessed his feelings—all at once.
The chemistry between Xu Can and Shi Daixi turned the Galaxy Theater into a massive fanboy frenzy over their pairing.
Especially among female viewers who loved romance.
"A…So_sweet! So sweet!"
"What a romantic kiss! What a romantic confession!"
In past superhero films, heroes stubbornly refused to reveal their identities.
Peter boldly revealed his identity to the girl he liked—this unconventional twist left the audience stunned.
Just as the two were affectionate, the police radio crackled again!
The audience hadn't even relaxed for minutes before being thrust back into a tense, action-packed sequence!
The film's pacing was seamless, with not a single dull moment!
"Serious accident on the Brooklyn Bridge! Suspicious individuals are attacking vehicles and injuring civilians! All nearby units, respond immediately!"
Peter reluctantly let go of Gwen, gazing at her deeply.
"Go, my hero."
Peter nodded, flipped gracefully off the balcony, and vanished into the night.
Gwen still wore an expression of disbelief, yet her face glowed with happiness.
At this moment, the film switched to Norman Osborn's perspective.
Green Goblin's story interwove continuously with Spider-Man's origin tale,
gradually revealing how Norman Osborn, betrayed by corporate executives,
in a fit of rage, experimented on himself, inhaling biochemical mist and transforming into the Green Goblin.
After intense inner struggle, the Green Goblin persona completely overpowered Norman's.
Old Green Goblin donned his flight device and flew toward the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, ready to attack the corporate executives for revenge.
Spider-Man heard the news and instinctively swung toward the danger zone!
When he arrived on the scene, Norman Osborn was about to strike successfully!
He relentlessly bombed the bridge, ignoring the desperate crowd, searching for the executives' vehicles!
A section of the bridge collapsed!
Civilian vehicles were about to plunge into the water dozens of meters below!
At the critical moment, Spider-Man remembered Uncle Ben's words, threw himself recklessly toward the vehicle, successfully fired webbing to catch the car, and rescued the civilians and children inside!
Seeing Osborn continuing his indiscriminate attacks, Spider-Man swung over and clashed with the Green Goblin!
Web shots, hand-to-hand combat, aerial swinging kicks!
A series of consecutive clashes pushed the film's action sequences to another peak!
The earlier subway brawl and takedown of criminals meant nothing anymore,
the first battle with Green Goblin was filled with utterly unbelievable acrobatic choreography!
"Oh my god! You can do that?"
"Awesome! Holy_cow!"
"God!"
The audience exclaimed at the film's combat with their limited vocabulary!
Even compared to any sci-fi or action movie, the combat in this Spider-Man was among the most spectacular!
Professional film critics and media were awestruck by the director's camera staging,
and the actors' execution of their movements!
Rumor has it most of the fight scenes were filmed live? Did the lead actor Xu Can use no stunt double?
Is that even possible? Scour all of Hollywood, and you won't find a star this capable!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The media planned to challenge this claim on-site after the film's screening.
Xu Can must have used a stunt double!
After the imaginative battle, Green Goblin lost the first round to Spider-Man.
Unable to gain the upper hand, he fled in his Green Goblin flyer.
Peter Parker exhaled in relief—he'd also struggled through that fight.
Yet just as he let his guard down,
a missile arrived silently from afar! The violent explosion instantly flipped the executive's luxury car!
The executive who betrayed Norman Osborn was sent to heaven by a little rocket from Green Goblin!
"Hehehehe—"
Green Goblin's signature cackle echoed over the Hudson River!
"Those who betray me meet this fate!"
"Little bug, I'll come back for you!"
Regardless of whether this poor soul was innocent,
under his own protection, he was still killed by Green Goblin.
Spider-Man was filled with frustration, utterly helpless.
"Damn it, spiders aren't insects—they're arthropods…"
……
"A mishap occurred on the Brooklyn Bridge; many witnesses saw a serious criminal act."
