No Way Home

I have done a few writeups on this blog about 🕷 Spider-Man 🕷 in the past.

Spider-Man is always a character I associate with my brother.  

When we were younger he had so many toys from the 90s animated series and displayed them along with the Daily Bugle plaster.  He also had some key first appearances of some of Spider-Man's most famous villains including Punisher, Venom, Scorpion, Carnage, Hobgoblin, and Black Cat. 

Yesterday I bought tickets to see the new movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home for a 5pm showing. Around 4pm I had something come up and had to cancel my tickets.  I likely won't be able to see the movie now until after Christmas because we are cleaning, painting, and moving into the new home. 

To pass what little time I have I thought it would be funny to show off some imagination for how the "nerdy" side of my brain works.

You may recall I showed off some cards featuring shadows back in July when I discussed having watched The Shadow starring Alec Baldwin for the first time in nearly 20 years. 

This is one of the cards I showed off.  

Do you see the image that resembles a shadow of Spider-Man swinging through the Big Apple or is it just me?

The Shadow Knows...

We all have those movies we loved when we were younger, but when you look at them as an adult they don't really stand the test of time. 

For every Goonies, Karate Kid, and Back to the Future I enjoyed watching, there is also a Bio-dome, 3 Ninjas, and Time Cop on my list.  

Another movie I really enjoyed a lot when I was younger was Dick Tracy.  I loved the star power in that film and the bright and bold colors.  

Sadly much like Karate Kid being the timeless classic and 3 Ninjas not, I can group together some pulp hero movies in the early 90s I was obsessed with.  

Well for every Dick Tracy, there exists a movie like The Shadow. 

Starring Alec Baldwin and based on the pulp comic series The Shadow, this film features less than good CGI effects and Baldwin's over the top acting.

One of the key lines and premise of the Shadow is 

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?"

Below you will find my cards of Cutch that feature him with shadows

Do you remember watching The Shadow film?

Do you have a favorite movie that followed the pulp comic craze of the early 90s (Rocketeer, Dick Tracy, The Shadow, The Phantom, etc)?

Are there any unique images you see on the shadows on these cards, much like a "Rorschach test" involving shadows?
