But one thing that intrigued me while I was digging around the Internet was something that I'm sure plenty of people know about, but I just thought it would be a good idea to bring it back into the public's conscientiousness. 25 years ago we were treated to a little film called "The Green Goblin's Last Stand," and you might call it one of the first "fan films." Sure, with the rise of social media, better equipment and the insatiable fandom that does with comic book characters, this is a pretty rough outing, but just check out the trailer below. You have J. Jonah Jameson, Mysterio, and even Bullseye. Who wouldn't want to see a movie with Mysterio and Bullseye, especially back in 1992!
But, spoiler alert, the trailer isn't a fair representation of the film, just to warn you,...
As time has gone on, we've seen the likes of "The Joker Diaries," "Power/Rangers," and numerous Batman related shorts, and in no way am I comparing this year's "Homecoming" to the Troma-like quality of "Last Stand" but it's compelling to see how far we've come in the history of Spider-Man and the evolution of quality in fan-made films. Click HERE for a great list of some of the best.
Am I excited to see "Homecoming?" Meh, of course I'll see it, but it's getting harder and harder for me to really get hyped for anymore comic book films. My saturation point has been reached. Every year, going back to"Iron Man" way back in 2008 (wow, nearly a decade at this point) we've seen at least two Marvel movies a year, and now that DC is in the mix, that ups the total, and if you throw in Fox properties like X-Men, and Marvel and DC shows on Netflix and Network TV...you see where I'm getting at...
Oh, I nearly forgot, if you haven't seen the "Homecoming" trailer yet, click HERE and enjoy.
