Japan fucking loves Spider-Man.>The 70s show with the Giant Robot>Spidey's trailer for MVC3 was saved for the 2010 Tokyo Game Show>Mangaka like Murata and Horikoshi love him and have drawn artwork of himhttps://twinfinite.net/news/spider-man-goty-japanese-developers/>Hideo Kojima says Spider-Man is similar to Japanese Heroes>Gen Urobouchi who would later make Madoka, related to Spider-Man not wanting his powers in Spider-Man 2, while he thought he wished to never write a script again. He went to Kinoku Nasu's house, and this lead to Fate/Zero. I'm fucking serious.How does he do it?
Would Batman and Osakabehime be friends?
>>147158118spiderman just is cool
>>147158118They should, he is the best superhero
>>147158118right place and right timeSpider-Man is arguably the first American hero that gained prominence simply by the deals happening between Japanese and American companies to make adaptations. That's what gave us the 70s show. X-Men is a similar case of being popular because it was the hip new thing with the Capcom created Marvel games and the 90s cartoon helped bridge the gap between Japanese and Western fansSuperman was big too but never got far along in Japanese pop culture because only a manga series was made, nothing more. Same with Batman.
>>147158838>he is the best superhero...in a dark timeline where Batman doesn't exist.
Spider-Man is popular everywhere.Why are people still acting like it's a surprisingly fact? Spider-Man and Batman are the two biggest international US comic exports.
>>147160055Funny thing, Japan seems to only like (or they at least prefer) campy Adam West Bats.
>>147158118Spider-Man is colorful and youthful. Japs love that shit. They don’t want to watch brooding middle-aged men like Batman or Captain America. They want fun stuff
>>147158118Spidey is probably the most shonen protagonist like character there is.
>>147160169Pretty funny if you read the hyper brooding Ikegami Spider-Man manga.
>>147158118Yu Komori has one of the BEST Spider-Man comics of all time. It should be lauded in the same way Kraven's Hunt is, but people are not ready to talk about it
>>147160169>They don’t want to watch brooding middle-aged men like Batman or Captain America. They want fun stuff>i.e. I never read >>147160218
>>147160218/co/ talked about it plenty of timesWe called him Suffering-Man
