I'm really tired of larpers and content creators pretending something is comic accurate rather than just saying it's good [Spider-Noir spoilers]
This is gonna be a stupid rant, but it's been bugging me, and I'm tired of all the misinformation online.
Spider-Noir is not comic-accurate at all. It's probably the least accurate adaptation of a Spider-Man comic ever. It shares almost nothing in common with its source material aside from the setting and the costume. But that's OKAY. Things don't need to be comic accurate to be good.
Clearly, the writers of this show had their own story they wanted to tell, and that story was really, REALLY good. But what annoys the fuck outta me is all these people on social media trying to explain why "this is super comic-accurate." It's not. Nicolas Cage is more than 40 years older than Peter Parker is in the comic. He goes by Ben Reilly rather than Peter Parker, he gets his powers completely differently, he has a totally different motivation, he doesn't even face off against the same villains or deal with the same conflicts, it's completely missing its political themes, the majority of supporting characters don't appear, and the few that do have nothing in common with their comic counterparts.
This show is not comic-accurate. But something doesn't need to be comic-accurate to be good. Just fucking say you liked the show rather than pretending like you're some comic book expert and making yourself look like an ass to anyone who actually did read the comic. And also, read the comic while you're at it! They have very little in common, but it's also a great story, and I'd argue it's even better than the show.
