“I think it's really important, when you're redefining a character [ Spider-Man], for the audience to experience things that they haven't experienced, from the ground up. I wanted to build a character. I feel like point of view is a really crucial thing in the story, and that you need to build up the emotional building blocks, so that you can experience all the other emotions in a very specific way, rather than just experiencing it in an intellectual way.” ThinkingMenWayNeedsFeelsImportantCharacterStoriesWantedViewsEmotionAudienceHavensBuildingEmotionalIntellectualPoint Of ViewBlockCrucialSpidersSpider ManBuilding BlocksRedefining Author:Marc Webb

“Nerds are running the world. Andrew Garfield made a movie [called “The Social Network”] about it. Nerds are no longer pariahs and knowing how to write computer code is longer a [mocked] quality. What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context. That, I think, was one of the challenges for us — getting Peter Parker’s outsider status to be current.” ThinkingWorldWritingMadeImportantRunningSocialChallengesQualityKnowingComputerNotionCurrentsContemporaryCodePeterOutsidersNerdSocial NetworkAndrewPariahsGarfieldPeter Parker Author:Marc Webb
