What The Amazing Spider-Man Movies Got Right

Marvel’s embrace of genre may have no greater success story thanSpider-Man: Homecoming. WhereasAnt-Manmade swift, wildly imaginative work of the caper genre,Doctor Strangefully embraced fantasy elements, andIron Man 3’s radical, imperfect take on the character study,Spider-Man: Homecomingis a teen comedy, first and foremost. And it may very well be the wittiest and most emotionally mature film of its kind sinceAzazel Jacobs’Terri. The fact that the movie focuses on Peter Parker’s life as a high-school student, more believable with 21-year-oldTom Hollandin the role, over his potential romance(s), his home life, or his work as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is crucial to its success....

Why DC's Legends of Tomorrow Is the Arrowverse's Sleeper Hit

DC’s Legends of Tomorrowpremiered back in 2016, at the height of Arrowverse fervor withThe FlashandArrowgoing strong andSupergirljoining The CW lineup. The brainchild of super-producerGreg Berlantiand fellow Arrowverse executive producersMarc Guggenheim,Andrew Kreisberg, andPhil Klemmer,and featuring a motley crew of supporting characters fromArrowandThe Flash, the show essentially seems like a gamble by the execs to test the limits of the fanbase they had accumulated.
