Thinking about it, given the reputation the show has around the internet, I suppose it is only fair that I share my favorite out of context moment.

But yeah, this is definitely one of those shows I really need to get around to at some point. It's always felt to me like a series that has a really underappreciated, very genuinely important legacy, and it's cool that lately, it seems like more people are becoming aware of that. (Also! One of the many half-formed ideas I had for a thread after Kuuga? Watching this show, but writing all the posts about it in the style of Stan Lee narration. But it only took a little bit of further thinking to realize how much work that would actually be to do authentically. For one thing, I'd have to take like a whole history course about 50's/60's pop culture figures and celebrities just to make sure I don't run out of outdated references when I'm making quips. I could only get away with talking about how Takuya ate his Wheaties this morning so many times before I need to change the tune, you know?)

One thing I remember is hearing rumours that the Leopardon suit was apparently stolen after a few episodes, hence why it never takes a hit (they had to resort to stock footage). But since I said ?rumour?, I?ll explain that another one is that the fights are fairly basic because Toei had no idea how to stage a giant battle. Which doesn?t hold up entirely, given the existence of Giant Robo and Kamen Rider Stronger having had a giant monster as the final boss.
For sure! I highly recommend it! Quote:
Really, if recent internet history has proven anything, it's that the amount of meme material a live-action Spider-Man generates only demonstrates how much of a legitimate impact they made on people. You can disagree if you want, but I'll just miss the part where that's my problem!

IMO Spider-Man is the greatest and most loved super hero of all time. And Toei's Supaidāman just adds to that lineage.

I love that show! I fondly remember first watching an episode a week in 2009 on the Marvel website

I've been slowly working my way through Toei Spider-Man with the subs on YouTube, and have been impressed over and over again how true Takuya's Spider-Man feels to the spirit of Peter Parker Spider-Man. It's far from being a nameslap for a new market. I've heard Stan Lee himself was a fan, and approved of it as a proper adaptation of Spider-Man too

Looks like Toei’s Spider-Man is another Toku series I might have to check out somewhere down the line.
