Spider-Man Day

On August 1, how are you going to commemorate Spider-Man Day? One thing needs to be kept in mind: great power comes with great responsibility. Don’t take this responsibility lightly because as a Spider-Man fan, you now have complete freedom to honour one of the most recognisable comic book heroes of all time however you choose. Your curse and your blessing are this!

The most recognisable character in Marvel Comics for the past 59 years is Spider-Man, who was created by Steve Dikto and Stan Lee. August 1st, 2021 will be the day when all true Spider-Man fans can truly appreciate what the web-slinger has done for their lives.

Social media platforms are currently overrun with posts honouring the well-known Marvel superhero using the hashtag #NationalSpiderManDay.

Whatever way you decide to commemorate Spider-Man Day in 2021, don’t forget to let us know what you think.

The public adores Spider-Man. So how can we say no? Since his debut in issue 15 of Marvel Comics’ “Amazing Fantasy” in August 1962, Spider-Man has played a significant role in the world of comic books. Readers were drawn to the ground-breaking tale because it starred an awkward, antisocial teenager as its superhero, a description usually reserved for sidekicks. However, this risky move paid off for the creator Stan Lee, who won the hearts of a generation of children who struggled to make friends or felt abandoned. Spidey demonstrated

The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-own Man’s comic book series, debuted in March 1963. With interactions with frequently appearing characters like the Human Torch, Incredible Hulk, and Daredevil, the titular character quickly gained popularity and established himself as a key figure in the ever-expanding Marvel Universe. The Spider-Man universe’s supporting cast members were equally engaging and colourful, captivating readers who grew to care about them. This includes Spider-love Man’s interests Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson, anti-Spider-Man editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson, and costumed baddies like Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, and Venom.

Since the heroics of Spider-Man could no longer be contained in a single monthly issue, the franchise is quickly growing. Due to Spider-frequent Man’s crossover plots with other Marvel characters, “Marvel Team-Up,” a bimonthly series that lasted 150 issues, was first published in March 1972. In this ongoing series, Spider-Man has collaborated with almost every prominent superhero in the Marvel Universe.

The fourth chapter of the ongoing Spider-Man comic series was titled “Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man.” After 263 issues, it ended in December 1976, when it made its debut. Peter’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson is among the most enduring memories of this time period.

We all know Spider-Man moves quickly, but Hollywood soon took notice of his success in comics as well. After buying the Spider-Man movie rights, Sony Entertainment released “Spider-Man” in May 2002, bringing Spider-Man to the big screen. The Spider-Man films, which starred Tobey Maguire as the friendly neighbourhood superhero, helped establish the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the superhero film genre. In 2004, “Spider-Man 2” broke box office records, and in 2007, “Spider-Man 3” completed director Sam Raimi’s trilogy. After five years, the series was revived with Andrew Garfield’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2012.

Following that, in “Captain America: Civil War’s” third act, Spider-Man made his MCU debut (2016). Due to ongoing legal disputes and character rights between Sony Entertainment and Marvel Studios, young actor Tom Holland gave the web-slinger new life. Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and “Spider-Man: Far From Home” are the most recent Spider-Man films from Marvel (2019).

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
