Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Series Just Outdid The MCU’s Spidey in 2 Huge Ways

The animated series Spider-Noir offers a fresh take on the Spider-Man mythos with its unique 1930s Film Noir setting. Surprisingly, it’s already excelling at some classic Spider-Man themes, even surpassing Sony and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in certain areas. The tragic origin story feels particularly fitting for Ben Reilly, a damaged detective whose backstory naturally lends itself to the Noir genre. Even more impressively, Spider-Noir delivers action sequences that are arguably better than those in the MCU, with one standout scene proving its potential.
