Why We Recommend It
Why It's Ranked
Spider-Man appears in 1 Nutevio collection. Here is the argument behind each placement.
Ranked #11 because spider-Man (2002), directed by Sam Raimi, is where the modern version of this character on screen begins. The origin is told plainly and the moral — that power without obligation is worthless — is stated rather than implied. At #11 because it is a different continuity. Go back to it once the current run has hooked you; it explains why the story keeps being told this way.
