greetings mother factors my name is Sam and today I'm going to be talking to you
all about the spider-man so quick disclaimer here we have sort of
done this video before in fact the video itself exists on another Channel all
time tens they've good friends of ours and my face is on there sometimes but
frankly that was ages ago and a lot has happened in the life of Peter Parker
since including all the good stuff like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a new
video game that's coming out etcetera etcetera so some of these facts you may
have seen before in that other video because we're going over some of the
same ground but there's also a whole bunch of new stuff in here too so stick
around but he'll did an on-set nap turn into quite the surprise for actor Tom
Holland which non spider-man superheroes are rumored to be appearing in the new
spider-man video game and why wasn't I chosen to be the fresh face British
heartthrob holding up a multi-million dollar superhero film franchise it's
just not fair anyway he's charging through those quitters are going to be
answered so ensnare yourself some snacks get comfy in a spectacular human sized
web of your own creation and prepare yourself for 101 facts about spider-man
again sort of number one spider-man spider webbed his way onto comic books
on the 10th of August 1962 in amazing fantasy number 15 he was created by a
legendary comic book writer Stan Lee and penciler Steve Ditko both of whom are
certified cool guys number 2 Stan Lee was inspired to create
spider-man real name Peter Parker while observing a fly climbing up a wall the
more taxonomically inclined amongst you may have realized that flies are not in
fact spiders but Stan Lee could already want because he Stan effing layer ok
enough said number three that isn't to say that lead into consider making
spider-man not spider-man other names consider for Spidey included Oh
using your made-up names then I am fly man insect man and mosquito man but
apparently spider-man sounded more dramatic number 4 any beat Abarca bro
worth their salt knows that spider-man is hyphenated so if you haven't been
pronouncing the - you're a fake fan and you should be ashamed of yourself the -
was added to distinguish spider-man from Superman because they apparently sort of
look similar written down a guess a bit kinder number 5 the former head of
Marvel Martin Goodman and no not the one Friday night dinner there's
skill reference for you originally thought the spider-man was a rotten idea
at the time of the characters creation as he claimed that teenagers are usually
sidekicks and many people are scared of spiders both true but clearly not
impediments to spider-man's global webby domination number six
indeed Stanley specifically wanted to create a series that featured a young
hero to whom teenagers could relate as the popularity of comics amongst teens
was increasing at the time there's use in your noggin number seven and Stanley
was right people loved spider-man so much that the spider-man solo spin-off
comic The Amazing Spiderman was quickly produced and it released his very first
issue several months later on the 10th of March 1963 number 8 many of you may
know the Peter Parker was raised by his aunt and uncle Mae and Ben this is
because his parents Mary and Richard Parker were in fact American spies
working for shield who were killed in a sabotage plane crash number 9
incidentally Aunt May found out all about spider-man super secret identity
in 2001 an amazing spider-man vol 2 number 35 number 10 Peter Parker's
canonical address when living with his aunt and uncle is 20 Ingram Street in
Forest Hills garden Queens New York amazingly this address has actually been
home to an actual Parker family and not only that the house across the street 19
Ingram Street was inhabited by family of Osborne's get it it's in Norman Osborn
not you know Ozzie number 11 of course Peter Parker isn't the only Spider Man
as in the Ultimate Universe Parker sadly dies are I paid and is replaced by a
half african-american half Cuban American kid called Miles Morales number
12 other versions of spider-man include a British version called spider UK
featuring William Billy Braddock an Indian version named spider-man India
featuring privy to Prabhakar and an animal parody with an anthropomorphic
pig named spider ham aka Peter porker good grief number 13 the very first
super villain that spider-man faces is dmitriy smirnov aka chameleon in the
amazing spider-man number 1 chameleon is a soviet master of disguise as all the
best villains are number 14 as of 2016 spider-man has paired up with everyone's
favorite fourth wall smashing antihero Deadpool in their very own
make Deadpool is canonically pretty much into everybody though he is especially
enamored with Parker taking every opportunity to aggressively fill up the
spidey hard hard and deep number 15 to date spider-man is the most
profitable superhero ever in 2014 global retail sales of licensed spider-man
products reached approximately 1.3 billion dollars more than that of Batman
Superman and the Avengers combined number 16 in 1976 Marvel collaborated
with somewhat surprisingly Planned Parenthood to release the amazing
spider-man vs. The Prodigy the character not the English electronic dance music
group the eponymous villain the prodigy was an alien in human disguise who
attempted to convince teenagers to have unprotected sex so he was a pervert
basically number 17 in the same year Marvel released the mighty Marvel Comics
strength and fitness book in which Marvel superheroes taught you how to get
absolutely shredded AF one of spider-man's featured exercises was
Peters perpendicular leg extensions which ensure you don't end up with huge
bulging biceps and disgusting stre noodle legs number 18 on the 5th of June
1987 Marvel held a PR event in which actress depicted spider-man and Mary
Jane being married at Shea Stadium the old home of the Mets this was done to
commemorate the release of the couple's marriage in the comics ah number 19
however things haven't always been smooth sailing for Peter and Mary Jane
in a parallel alternate universe it's revealed that radioactivity in Peters
body irradiated his ur you know dude juice sadly Mary Jane ended up on the
receiving end of that stuff which had the unfortunate side effect of giving
her terminal cancer number 20 bizarrely pop hyper star Michael Jackson attempted
to buy Marvel in the 90s so he could create a spider-man movie with himself
in the title role Jacko was ultimately unable to make that happen though Lee
has stated he thought Jackson would be a very good spider-man in may be number 21
to date there have been at least eight different spider-man cartoons and three
different live-action television programs
number 22 by these super stories was a recurring skit series that appeared on
the educational kids TV show The Electric Company in which Spiderman
never spoke out loud communicating only to word bubbles bit like we do here the
show's writers decided the character would not talk because he had no mouth
number 23 the actor who portrayed Spidey on the show was actually a guy called
Danny Seagram and as such was the first actor to play a live-action spider-man
in the suit number 24 another notable spider-man TV
show was that of spider-man the new animated series which was first released
on MTV in 2003 the program was completely CGI neutralized cel shading
which is why the graphics look like you're not so much watching a show as
you are playing a PlayStation 2 number 20 city of aiive number 25 the voice of
this incarnation of the witty web head was none other than Neil Patrick Harris
aka Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother
number 26 the first live-action spider-man movie movie was directed by
Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi and was released on the 3rd of May 2002 the
movie starred Tobey Maguire as everybody's favorite swinger
oh that sounds weird I should have used different wording there number 27 when
Spiderman was released here in the UK the British Board of Film classification
created a whole new rating especially for it known as 12a which allowed kids
younger than 12 to go and see the film as long as they were accompanied by an
adult is what an incorrect person would say contrary to popular belief the 12 a
rating was not specifically created for spider-man
in fact the first 12 a rating went to the Bourne Identity those Spider Man did
get worn off at the first 12 a ratings number 28 the first and third Sam Raimi
spider-man films were the highest-grossing films in America in
each of their respective years spider-man made four hundred and three
million seven hundred six thousand three hundred seventy-five dollars in 2002 and
spider-man 3 raked in 336 million two hundred fifty thousand three hundred and
three dollars in 2007 spider-man 2 however was the second highest grossing
film of 2004 earning three hundred seventy three million five hundred
eighty-five thousand eight hundred and twenty-five bucks number 29 in 2012 the
spider-man movie franchise was rebooted with a webby wall-e this time played by
plucky anglo-american Andrew Garfield the film
titled The Amazing Spiderman was released during the 50th anniversary
celebrations of the release at the first spider-man comic number 30:56 spider-man
suits were created for the amazing spider-man
Garfield used 17 of them while the others were for the film's various
doubles and men number 31 a musical adaptation of
the comics spider-man turn off the dark opened in 2011 after a record-breaking
preview period consisting of one hundred and eighty two preview performances
number 32 the reason for the extraordinarily long preview period was
the disastrous production which was beset by delays budget overruns cast and
crew replacement and a number of highly publicized injuries which occurred
during rehearsals and in front of audiences one stunt double broke both
his wrists during a stunt demonstration for a small audience of industry
insiders in which he was catapulted from the back of the stage to the very front
obviously there's no footage of this so here's a representation using Microsoft
Paint number three three number 33 as such the musical now has the honor of
being the most expensive show in the history of Broadway costing an insane
seventy nine million dollars number 34 eggs President Obama once stated that
his favorite superheroes are spider-man and Batman not only that but Marvel once
published several special issues of amazing spider-man volume number one
number five eight three which prominently featured Obama on the front
cover the first was released on January of 2009 right before Obama's
inauguration number 35 of course what we really want to talk about right now are
the more recent the spider-man films that take place in the wider Marvel
Cinematic Universe starting in 2016 with Captain America Civil War these films
feature none other than mr. Tom Holland who at 19 is the youngest actor to be
cast as Peter Parker his main predecessors Tobey Maguire and
Andrew Garfield were 25 and 26 respectively when they were cast in the
role number 36 during casting Holland was in competition with hundreds of
other perspective Spider Men so in an attempt to add some pizzazz to his
submission he literally somersaulted in and out of frame in his audition tape he
continued to use his tactic in his in-person auditions - and apparently it
worked so I suggest some resulting in an out of every single situation you can
it's a surefire success number 37 of course nowadays Tom Holland is known for
his acrobatic abilities but he was well into lobbing himself about long before
his big break as spider-man Holland has stated that he and his
friends go free running all the time and he admits he's even gone running about
on rooftop jumping between buildings like a
goddamn liability damn it Tom number 38 Tom Holland auditioned an incredible
eight times for the right to call himself spider-man number 39
apparently the six finalists for the coveted role of spider-man were asa
butterfield judah lewis matt Lintz Charlie plumber Charlie Rowe and of
course the eventual victor Tom Holland interestingly that means three of these
candidates were English number 40 apparently Holland's frequent coworker
and connoisseur again dad Robert Downey jr. helped his little buddy out by
weighing in during casting giving producers positive reinforcement when
Tom was under consideration sneaky number 41 after his final
audition for the spider-man role in Captain America Civil War Holland was
told he would find out the next day whether or not have been successful in
reality Holland found out he'd won the role six full entire whole last weeks
later not only that the meaning of life of venom Holland didn't even find out
through the ordinary established channels that his entire life was about
to change a miserable a do-over but for a post on Marvel's Instagram
page Millennials say so extra number 43 interestingly Holland appears to have
unwittingly been made a vessel for divine intercession in 2013 when asked
what kind of roles he'd like to do in the future
Holland expressed interest in projects involving both action and humor to which
the interviewer suggested he play a superhero in response Holland said maybe
spider-man in 10 years time for rebooted reboot if they do that and did they do
that number 44 Holland ultimately signed a
six picture deal that would include at least three solo spider-man films number
45 although his spider-man predecessor Andrew Garfield is also English he was
actually born in the US making Holland as the first non-us born actor to play
spider-man number 46 Holland has stated that he relates to spider-man on a
personal level likening their similar struggles with school talking to girls
and homework as do most young boys Tom are not special
well okay you could do 15 pretty good flips but other than that
number 47 Holland has admitted in other interviews that growing up he owned over
20 different spider-man costumes nerd that's way more embarrassing than my
Thomas the Tank Engine obsession which definitely did not become so profound
that I ceased to recognize the separation between myself and Thomas
prompting me to demand my parents call me Thomas assignment in the United Sodor
nope no that did not happen number 48 having received praise for his
convincing American accent Tom Holland has revealed that his preferred place to
practice his Yankee Doodle dialect is in the shower I preferred to practice my
American accent peacefully surrounded by friends and family not in the shower
you shouldn't have those people in the shower with you number 49 the design of
spider-man's suit in the film was based on the original look in the comics when
he debuted all the way back in 1962 number 50 similarly the eyeholes in
Spidey's mask actually changed size in civil war in order to reflect the
characters expressive eyes in the comics number 51
although spider-man's suit was created using CGI for every scene a prototype
super - actually built during production that Tom Holland did wear on sent during
some filming as the filmmakers didn't decide to scrap the physical suit
altogether until later on number 52 Holland's bounty loquacious spider-man
was praised for its faithful adaptation of the original character whereas
previous versions made spider-man actually fully grown men that simply had
some boyish qualities Holland's portrayal is definitely more teenage
let's face it it was very difficult to believe that Tobey Maguire was in high
school in the film I mean not like ever number 53 at one point during filming
Civil War Tom Holland literally broke his nose when performing a flip
according to Holland himself the crude industry realized the injury was as
serious as it was until he tried to get up at which point everyone stopped
laughing and called for medical help number 50 for certain moments from the
airport fight scene in civil war were reshot from spider-man's perspective to
be used in the opening video diary scene in spider-man homecoming even though
there's one but that doesn't really make sense because there's a massive
inconsistency because he says you know Jess word when reacting to Giant Man for
the first time but then we see him react to giant man the first time looking at
the cameras point of view in homecoming which means which one's the real
reaction we don't know do we silly silly Sony speaking of spider-man
homecoming number 55 spider-man homecoming everybody the
second film to feature holland as the Webby wit to prepare his role in the
film holland went so far as to spend several days attending classes at the
Bronx High School of Science in New York City where he used the name of his
acting coach as an alias number 56 in order to prepare for the film the cast
of homecoming got together for a John Hughes movie marathon to acquaint
themselves with the master of coming-of-age cinematic tales about John
Hughes I just said his name earlier number 57
the film's primary antagonist the vulture is played tremendously by
Hollywood legend Michael Keaton who is another fantastic actor who frightens
the bejesus out of me with the Baltus appearance in the film two-thirds of the
sinister six the cabal of supervillains who obsessively terrorize spider-man in
the comics have now been shown in movie form number 58 Robert Downey jr. aka
Tony Stark aka Iron Man appears prominently in the film filling the role
of peter's mentor however that responsibility was originally going to
fall on Nick Fury played by everyone's favorite terrifying actor samuel
l.jackson number 59 apparently Mark Hamill wanted to play
the vulture of Michael Keaton turned down the part not not happening new who
know you can't be in Star Wars and the MCU it's not fair number 60
interestingly the vulture was originally going to appear in the fourth
installment of the original Sam Raimi spider-man series with yet another
incredible and utterly terrifying actor John Malkovich preparing for the role
however the film was ultimately cancelled when Sony decided to reboot
the series of Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield great idea gang number 61
interestingly Adrian Toomes has never actually referred to as the vulture and
most other characters only ever call him vulture guy which has a slightly less
impressive ring to it number 62 when he's not messing around with alien
technology or threatening teenage boys in his car the vulture could often be
seen wearing a dark leather bomber jacket
with a fuzzy white collar this mimics the appearance of actual vultures some
species of which have a collar of lightly colored feathers around their
necks number 63 both Peter Parker and the legendary punk band The Ramones are
from Forest Hill in Queens New York which might be why the Ramones song a
blitzkrieg bop is featured twice in the film soundtrack the song can also be
heard in the 2012 Andrew Garfield led movie The Amazing Spiderman in which he
can be seen wearing a Ramones t-shirt The Ramones also famously
the original spider-man theme song in the form of a hidden bonus track on the
US version of their final album adios amigos Nintendo 64 in the comics Flash
Thompson was a big burly jock trope who bullied the nerdy Peter Parker for being
a scrawny little nerdy nerd in homecoming however his character was
revamped into a wealthy douchebag to fit a more contemporary bully stereotype
number 65 aren't Mays car number plates in the film is AMF 1 5 6 2 this is a
sneaky little reference to the origins of spider-man AM F stands for amazing
fantasy 15 is the issue number and 62 is 1962 referring back to spider-man's
aforementioned first appearance an amazing fancy number 15 all the way back
in 1960 der number strict except the voice of Cour and in spider-man
homecoming affectionately known by Peter as suit lady belongs to American actress
Jennifer Connelly wife of English actor Paul Bettany
who voiced Jarvis and plays vision in Ironman what small world I wonder if
they know number 67 it's revealed in the film that midtown school of science and
technology the school that Park Returns was founded in 1962 yet another
reference to spider-man's year of origin number 68 when Spiderman confronts Aaron
Davis in the parking garage the license plate is UCS no.1 this is thought to
stand for Ultimate Comics spider-man number 1 which contained the first
appearance of Miles Morales as spider-man in the Ultimate Marvel
Universe Donald Glover who plays Davis in the film has been the center of
spider-man reboot rumors for years and Aaron Davis himself is the uncle of
Miles Morales number 16 no mr. stark I feel so good when spider-man is on the
phone having an attitude on the lamppost the word Bagley can be seen
spray-painted on the building wall behind him in large letters look there
it is this is in reference to veteran comic
book artist Mark Bagley known for his work on the amazing spider-man and
ultimate spider-man comics number 70 as usual comic book legend Stan Lee has a
cameo in the film as an angry local resident shouting from a window
incredibly that cameo was one of four that was shot in the same day the others
being Doctor Strange guardians of the galaxy vol 2 and thor ragnarok number 71
the books that Michonne can be seen reading in the film each of a subtle
relation just a man starting with W Somerset Maugham
of Human Bondage which tells the story of an orphan who lives with his aunt
just like Peter Parker she's also reading invitation to a
beheading by Vladimir Nabokov in which a condemned prisoner awaits execution with
only a spider to keep him company number 72 not only that - Michelle can also be
seen wearing a t-shirt that bears the image of Sylvia Plath an American writer
known for writing a poem called spider number 73 though Peter is shown wearing
boxer shorts before he puts on the spider-man suit Hollanders revealed he
actually wore a thong underneath as the outfit was skin tight and the sinewy
contort of his body could not be interrupted by bunched up fabric thank
God for thongs well I heard that audio is an isolated news against me in the
future number 74 homecoming was also the first solo spider-man film to not
feature or even mention Uncle Ben in any way Peter Parker does allude to bad
things having happened to his on may but nothing further than that number 75
interestingly homecoming is also the first spider-man film in which we see
the wisecracking Iraq no hero with the canonical web wings often seen in the
comics number 76 though the majority of the movie takes place in the New York
borough of Queens most of the actual filming took place in Atlanta Georgia
with some additional footage shot in LA Washington DC and Berlin Germany however
a small portion of the film was actually shot in the real New York City baby
forget about it number 77 it was during the promotion of
homecoming that Hollen revealed that rather ironically he actually hate
spiders with a pretty big passion to quite a master Holland I hate them
they're terrifying like 100% I hate spiders I thought I really liked him I
learned it was just false I really can't be around spiders it scares me so much
sorry Tom if you're watching number 78 Holland also revealed that the reasoning
behind his characters reluctance to intentionally punch anyone in the face
was because if you were to be punched in the face by someone who can lift a truck
you're likely to pop your proverbial clogs immediately upon impact as such
Spidey only ever punches people accidentally in the film number 79 one
of the posters used to promote the film prior to its release Victor - here a
reclining extra body of water wearing his high-school academic decathlon
blazer and listening to music in a pair of headphones this image actually shows
Holland your break between filming with the
actor later revealing he actually fell asleep in the photograph Holland was
apparently extremely surprised to find out it been made into a poster number 80
fireman homecoming was sent to theaters under the codename scavenger and nod to
the dining habits of vultures this was done as a precaution against potential
film thieves bootleggers leakers ruffians vagabonds pilferers and
criminals of every sort bring back hanging outside number 81 Holland has
stated that while wearing the spider-man suit he can only ever see about five
feet in front of him with no peripheral vision whatsoever doesn't really seem
like an ideal quality for a superhero outfit but hey I'm just a lowly normal
mortal civilian whose only superpower is being of normally good at Guitar Hero
yep that's right through the fire and flames is my beat on hard mode experts
to difficult number 82 throughout almost the entire span of filming for
homecoming Holland managed to remain uninjured while performing his usual
cavalcade of flips and stunts and whatnot it wasn't until he actually
finished shooting one day toward the end of production that he fell down a flight
of stairs and tweaked his ACL the number 83 in April of 2018 Avengers Infinity
Ward was released and I peed myself in excitement but also it featured the one
and only Tom Holland a spider-man surprise yep he's in it too it wasn't
though hilariously Hollander was not actually allowed to read the script for
the film as the previous year had become notorious for revealing too many secrets
for spider-man homecoming number 84 in fact the higher-ups at Disney went to
extreme lengths to prevent Holland from ruining the entire franchise with his
loose ship sinking lips this included withholding key
information about the film until it was absolutely necessary and even giving him
fake scripts but number 85 in a nod to Holland's reputation for being spilling
one of the promotional videos for infinity war featured several of its
cast members in an interrogation room refusing to divulge spoilers with
Holland's mouth conspicuously taped closed
number 86 and one boys in the film Parker asked Tony if he's ever seen the
1996 sci-fi classic aliens to which he refers as a really old movie this is a
callback to spider-man's previous appearance in civil war in which he
declares that the Empire Strikes Back is also an old movie number 87
apparently the reason why spider-man's death took so long in infinity war was
because his spiders Enter I'm early and haste accelerated healing
slowed it down spoilers by the way sorry about that before he finally succumbed
to the ineffable decree of the universe's biggest emo and let's say it
buff daddy nanos number eighty-eight interestingly
in the actual script for the film spider-man's death wasn't quite so
drawn-out the only dialogue was the now classic line I don't feel so good but
the filmmakers wanted to more emotion prompting Holland's heart-wrenching
performance of Parker struggling to resist as he's overwhelmed by the power
of the Infinity Gauntlet and his soul is ripped away number 89 Holland also
revealed that although he's a big fan of Chris Pratt and loved working with him
filming alongside him was challenging I went to Pratt's habit of making jokes
both in and out of character which made it hard for Holland to keep a straight
face number 90 Holland was actually working on another film during the
filming of infinity war the other role necessitated longer hair so he had the
film stylist incorporate his bitch in new mop into his look for the film after
seeing the final look in the trailer however Holland regretted this decision
saying he had and I'm quoting him exactly here the most ridiculous
equality' stupid haircut of all time I think it was good Tom number 91
Holland based his performance of spider-man on Michael J Fox in the Back
to the Future films he stated that his all-time goal was to be his generations
Marty McFly number 92 Holland was originally cast a seaplane mcdonough in
Jumanji welcome to the jungle but was forced to drop out because he was busy
filming spider-man homecoming the role was ultimately filmed by everyone's
favorite Jonas Nick Jonas I literally don't know what the other two were
called number 93 over the Year spider-man has been adapted into well
over 30 solo video games spanning almost 40 years since the first spider-man
video game which was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600 number 94 the most
recent spider-man game to arise from the dank murky depths of video game
development was created by Insomniac Games and is simply entitled spider-man
or Marvel's spider-man if you wanna get particular in something at games have
stated that this game will have an entirely original story not based on
that of any previous spider-man comic TV show or movie movie I mean I don't why I
said it like that number 95 the voice of spider-man has been provided by American
actor Yuri Lowenthal who is also known for voicing the main character in Ben 10
and the character of Sasuke in the English dub of Naruto number 96
it's also been revealed that spy we'll be roughly 23 in the game meaning
he's already an experienced crime fighter having been swinging through New
York City not killing but seriously injuring bodies for several years
already number 97 many people have wondered why the game's hero bears an
uncharacteristic white spider logo insomniac games have stated that there
is indeed a good reason for the Albin istic arachnid emblem which players will
find out themselves as one of the biggest revelations in the entire
adventure number 98 the game will feature a wide range of classic
spider-man villains including the likes of the vulture rhino electro the
Scorpion and negative man who I believe hopes to defeat spider-man by just being
a massive downer number 99 the game has a photo mode that
allows players to take selfies yep millennial spider-man is also Instagram
famous hundred insomniac have also revealed that all the defaults
difficulty setting the average playtester managed to beat the game in
roughly twenty hours this has almost doubled the length of most of insomniacs
other games look out it's number 101 there are some fairly significant
murmurs that suggest that the game may feature everyone's favorite group of
good friends you happen to be superheroes
The Avengers in-game footage is shown Avengers tower in the background and
various bits of marketing including a mock Daily Bugle newspaper have made
reference to Iron Man daredevil and other members of the team and I am more
