Yeah. After rewatching "Werewolf By Night" in colour, I regretted it. Some things are really meant for B&W.

i mainly want to see if there's a rubix cube somewhere and if his jacket does the wind thing inside somewhere

ugh...why also in color???

Whoa.

Is Sony connected to this in any way (they are the ones with the Spidey License...right)?

Cage always gives a great performance, and this looks right up his alley. It looks like something I'd watch.

I find I'm actually interested, and B&W of course. It can lend a great atmosphere and it seems the director tried to take advantage of that.

EtA: The rest of the sentence that was cut off.

This looks good (surprisingly so), but the "no power" tagline is confusing for a guy who appears to have powers.

There a couple of versions of spider-noir, but this one isn’t super powered like normal Spider-Man, but he can shoot webs. There is a reason spider-man noir packs a gun.Edit: he also has been known to pack a Tommy Gun and incendiary grenades.

He beats people up but it’s more Batman than Peter Parker that can toss cars at people.

More interesting to me is that they renamed him to spider noir… because I guess Sony signed a lot of moral crap with marvel. They can’t have a drunk Spider-Man nor one that goes around killing people.

And I think this is going to be fairly far into Ben Reilly‘a life, after Gwen is killed etc (the trailer has a moment that indicates she died). I think it’s safe to say he’ll barely be in control of himself and do some really dark stuff. Aunt May hates when he kill’s people because she says he loses a bit of himself every time… if this is as late in his timeline as I suspect he’s mostly going to be gone mentally.

Edit 2: this is a different version again (there’s been at least 3 versions maybe 4?) but gives you an idea

Rather than do yet another edit I’ll just note there is a brief moment near the start of the trailer where he is dual wielding pistols. Not the Luger guy and not dual revolver guy (I don’t think). Looks like this guy…

"No power" oversells it if the guy still has what is objectively a superpower.

So that we can feel superior when saying we watched the authentic black and white version.

It’s a play on with great power, blah blah.

Basically normal spider-man is so powerful he’s always holding back so he doesn’t kill people. Note: their is an old joke that their is nothing scarier in the marvel universe than spider-man when he takes off the mask and fights you as Peter Parker. He has rained down some legendary beatings on even cosmic level beings, usually when someone has hurt or killed aunt May.

When Doc Ock took over Spider-Man’s mind he casually punched scorpion ( a fairly durable super villain) and ripped his jaw clean off, at that moment Doc realized Spider-Man’s rogue gallery continues to live only because he’s a nice guy trying not to hurt anyone.

Spider-man noir doesn’t really have much of an advantage over normal people so he does his level best to just kill some people if they are bad.

Also he usually has one more power, he doesn’t feel pain. He still gets damaged he just doesn’t feel it or care. Basically leprosy if you want to call that a power (it definitely is just kidding).

Anyways compared to normal Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir is basically Batman (a man that can swing around the city) and is totally willing to kill people.

To avoid the complaints they got from people over them doing B&W for "Werewolf By Night." The whiners wouldn't shut up, so it was released in colour, later.
