In the rush-up to various wars, experts will vie back and forth on whether any of it should happen, then the inexorable push occurs, regardless.Much like this Spiderman musical.
WHY? I say again, WHY???
I mean, Spiderman has been already done to death. Point 1.
Two: a Spiderman musical. WHY???
Three: What could the plot possibly be? Like, the Spiderman story, with kids at the beginning on a field trip to the lab where Peter Parker gets bitten by the radioactive arachnid? And an opening number: "We're going on a FIELD TRIP!/Someone's gonna get BIT!"
FOUR: Then the sad number when Uncle Ben gets shot. Wait! In Amazing Fantasy #15, Peter, imbued with his new amazing strength, goes to a wrestling match and wins big $$$ (unfairly, mind you -- this kid has the proportionate strength of a spider!) but lets a guy who's robbing something (?) get away; Peter just stands there counting his winnings, all Ditko-stiff (the escaping vagabond then kills Uncle Ben! Small world!). SO, they could very well update this with some Tapout-style Ultimate Fighting shit while Edge-tastic guitar swirls (more on this shortly) wing their way overhead.
FIVE: The Green Goblin's inevitable number while his rocket sled thingy soars over the crowd!
"Oh, he's green/he's breaking up the scene..." or whatever, to some shite Bo Diddly-ish sub Rattle and Hum skiffle bullshit...
SIX: U2 - I have some friends who still love U2, so I can't get into deep on this. "Like a Song" off War is good, though. But if I think too hard I will be reminded of those Bono'n' Ally LV ads and I will go berserk.
SEVEN: Turn Off the Night? So you have to cram the whole Spiderman story, with a villain, with origin and a plot arc and pompous rock slop into 2.5 hours with intermission and saddle the whole enterprise with the torporous sub-hed: Turn Off the Night??
Kirby wept!
