Prep for ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ with the ‘Japanese Spider-Man’ Honest Trailer (VIDEO)

Part of the fun of this weekend's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is going to be seeing a number of incarnations of the webslinger united on screen for the very first time. One that probably won't be joining in on the fun, however, is Japanese Spider-Man or "Supaidāman" a little known version of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that Screen Junkies takes to task in their latest Honest Trailer.

This one's got a ton of inside baseball stuff for Spider-Man fans and fans of nostalgic 1970s live action Japanese television. Their interpretation of who Spider-Man was and what Spider-Man can do is a delight, and this show comes highly recommended to all nostalgia freaks. It's a bit of a slog though, I saw ten minutes of it and decided that was enough for me.

Circling back to Spider-Verse, I think it looks like a rootin' tootin' good time at the movies, and I certainly think that Spider-Man—as a property—is in the best care he's been in for quite some time. I'm not a big fan of building movies around tertiary characters like Morbius, but I like where Sony's head is at now as opposed to five years ago when they were knee deep in garbage Spider-Man movies.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse swings into theaters this coming Thursday night.
