Psychology of a Hero: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with guest Omar Zaki

Фильм және анимация

How do you move forward after loss? How do you get back up when facing grief?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker, filmmaker Alan Seawright, and professional stunt man Omar Zaki (who was actually a body double/stand-in for Andrew Garfield in No Way Home!!!) take a look at Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker and what we can learn about dealing with grief and loss from The Amazing Spider-Man. Peter loses a lot of people in a very short time, and it gets hard for him to do the right thing rather than seek revenge or get bitter. But, he does show us a thing or two about how to keep doing the right thing even when it's hard, even when life is hard. And he has arguably the most fun being Spider-Man of any of the Spider-Men (sorry Tobey). Because he's amazing. No really, he's amazing.

    I also think what made the MJ and Garfield Spidey scene so special was that she asks him if HE'S okay afterward, because even in the midst of her own brush with death, she didn't forget that he lost the woman he loved just as much as her Peter loves her, and he NEEDED someone to ask him that. No one ever asked him if he was okay back in his world because who could? Who would know? He had to live with that in his head for years.

    I think that it was just so clear that he got extremely emotional saving her and making sure she was okay, so much so that she couldn't help but make sure he was going to be alright. They said it numerous times throughout this episode - Andrew Garfield is an absolute master of facial expression. I am well aware that he's acting in that scene and I still want to just run up and give him a hug. Her reasoning for asking aside, I absolutely agree with the rest of it. He needed someone to ask that, and he needed it to be someone he saved, because otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay strong. MJ just happened to be the perfect person for it, because he can't help but see Gwen in her, and the guys were right when they said he desperately wanted to ask Gwen if she was okay. Such a bittersweet moment, but one that I think gives AG's Peter a lot of closure.

    That's a good point. I remember the stuff that Jonno and Alan said before about vulnerability and the ways in which it can help us overcome difficulties - but if you're the hero who's always wearing a mask, if you've got no-one to open up to and it's literally your JOB to be strong *all the time,* who're you going to be vulnerable to? That, in turn, reminds me of the TEDTalk Brene Brown gave on vulnerability (I think the second one?) in which she talks about a father with only daughters: all the daughters take after the mum in expecting him to be this invulnerable Superman figure, that they would rather have him fall on his sword than ever show a single moment of weakness. So, you know. Ain't just superheroes who have to deal with that.

    @@Stolanis I also think it's important to know where your space is to be vulnerable and where you need to put on the cape and be a hero. Usually, when other people need to be put first, we don the cape. However, when it's our time to be put first, we need to be ready to take off the mask and cape and be vulnerable. In that scene, in particular, AG's Peter needed to put others first, and couldn't be super vulnerable. Just the look on his face before he nods. "I'm okay for now, let's keep going." By shelving his own emotions and putting MJ first in that moment, he proved that he can overcome his own grief and despair, even if he feels like he wallows in it when he's alone. It's encouraging, in a sense, that even when he's so grief-stricken, he can still motivate himself to move.

    You guys missed something... When Andrew saves MJ in No Way Home... He used his aerodynamics to grab a hold of MJ instead of relying on his webs, unlike the last time when he tried to do with Gwen(which inevitably causes Gwen's death) . It wasn't until he grabs hold of MJ, that he uses his webs to slow their descent down safely. This level of details shows how much introspection and grief the character actually would've gone/been through... To correct their tiniest of tiniest mistakes and taking more variables(such as stretching of the web string in Amazing Spider man 2) into account. For a redemption arc, and it honestly does an incredible job on that.

    @@chand911 uhm... Actually physics withstanding... Just driving wouldn't have worked... You also have to manage the speed... The rate at which you're falling down. Thats where your aerodynamics come into play... Cause by default your body falls at the speed of 9.8m per sec... In that particular scene, MJ fell off first, but from a higher ground, which also increased her speed towards the ground while passing Andrew's floor because he was several floors below from where her fall actually began... So he had to streamline his body movement during his own fall to match upto her speed in order to get a hold of her[because remember how I said that by default all objects accelerate towards earth at speed of 9.8m per sec.]... If he didn't do that... MJ wouldn't be saved I'm sorry... I know how weird it is that we're talking about physics in a superhero-physics-defying film... But if you look closely... You can actually see that happening...

    This a great point. What also stood out to me as well is that, once he had a hold of MJ, he twisted them around so he'd hit the ground first this time. Partly I imagine because he knows he's more durable and can take a bigger hit and buffer her from that impact if he couldn't slow them down enough before they hit the ground.

The No Way Home film gave fans what they wanted, but I think it gave Andrew what he *needed*: closure on his initial arc as Spider-Man/Peter Parker. He has been growing as a person, actor, and human being since then, and his reservoir of emotion he can pull from has only gotten deeper.

    "The costume represents something [...]. In those two days you understand it is an honor, and people dream to be in that position." This is actually a sentiment that I always respected about the cosplay community when it comes to kids at conventions. All cosplayers seem to have this unspoken understanding that there are certain costumes you put on that require an unbreakable illusion for kids. I still remember the story about the Daenerys cosplayer who was mistaken for Elsa by a kid and immediately jumped into the role, and how a nearby Anna cosplayer played along and even helped them quickly braid their wig, all because kids kept coming up thinking she was Elsa. I think that's one of my favorite aspects of seeing movies made about superheroes, that idea of getting to bring that symbol to life for people in a very real way.

He learns that the same method that works half a dozen times before won't always work. And that's what I love about the different spidermen.

You know he was so robbed of this incredible story of overcoming loss and grief because Sony just doesn't know how to handle Spider-Man. The MCU isn't perfect, sometimes their movies are too formulaic, but they did help with the Home trilogy and Spider-Man was redeemed in a lot of ways because of it. And I'd love to see a movie with a not so friendly Spider-Man. One that's darker, one that's tired, one that's just...kind of done. Peter SUFFERS in his life. The man can't seem to catch a break. But even despite all that, he gets up. He keeps going. And that's what I love about Spider-Man. He's us. Just with powers. But in the end, he's just....us.

Does he still live with Aunt May if this is the case? There are so many possibilities and spaces to explore the character, thus they must make TASM3!

I honestly think Sony should talk to Marc Webb about the possibility of a director's cut of both movies. I'd love to know what that would look like, as I know he didn't have a whole lot of control over the theatrical cuts.

    I used to study teaching and people really underestimate the sheer effort and tenacity you have to have for the profession. Even when the kids are not only being brats but just plain cruel to either other students or yourself, it's hard. Really hard. The fact that you got through the whole year and still have that hope of choosing to be kind is incredible. Even if you end up doing something else or life kicks you a couple too many times, you have the privilege of knowing what many will never know of getting through that year in your life with kindness. Remember that hard year because if you can get through one, who's to say you couldn't get through another. It is a thankless job quite often, but guess what stranger?

    Honestly, I feel like Andrew's Spider-Man is the one whose story is least resolved, because while I do agree with what you said in the scene where he saved MJ, I think it also shows the signs of him still not being over it, because of how easily he did save her, it was so quick and sudden with how quickly she was out of danger, and then it lingers, I think that emotion behind his part of the scene is also a little bit of thinking about how easy it could have been to save her, and I get the feeling from the scene that he's thought about all the little mistakes he made thousands of times and how he could've done things differently, and then possibly feeling like he proved himself right when he saved Zendaya MJ, with also that little hint of closure. But besides just that, I also get the feeling that if we see more of him in the MCU, or his own continuation movie, that we'd see a lot more of him overcoming and managing his anger, and gradually learning to love again with his own MJ, as it's hinted at in the lab scene, that he's the only one who doesn't have an MJ, I think it'd be tough to find the right casting for an MJ for Andrew Spidey, specifically one that wouldn't just constantly be compared to Emma Stone's Gwen, but it'd be nice to see this character, if not have a happy ending, then at least move to a happier and healthier place in his life, as it seems to be implied that he's the only one who never really got that, when even Tobey's Spidey did, after everything that happened and how low he went in Spider-Man 3, it'd be nice to see a good depiction of a story that's closer to what Spidey had in the comics, which is he loses Gwen and after a grieving period, grows to love again with MJ, as it'd be an opportunity to explore how difficult it is to open up again after losing a loved one, and also show the healing process, and how reconnecting with people can be a very healthy way of dealing with grief, even if there isn't a follow up romance. I mean, think about it, Andrew's Spidey, is the only one who has no outlet or anyone to trust with the information that he's Spider-Man, not since Gwen, and I don't recall, but I'm fairly sure I don't remember his Aunt May knowing anything about or figuring out his secret. I think the perfect way to wrap his character up in a healthy way, would be learning to balance reconnecting with people, with super-hero life. But that's just me.

Personally, I think it's a cool inclusion for that particular version as it gives him a distinctly spider-based power (other arthropods have similar senses and relative strength). But I also like the tech-based webs since it means one of his powers is reliant on his intelligence and ingenuity.

    While the TASM movies had their problems, I love how this was able to draw out some of the best parts of both the filmmaking, the acting, and the writing. Having grown up reading Spider-man in the 80's, I had a pretty solid grasp on it all, so when Gwen had her fall in the clocktower, I knew what was coming. I also knew it was necessary as the tragedy added a few important things to the world here. It showed he couldn't always win. Bad things can still happen to a hero no matter how hard he tries. And overcoming the loss and grief built character in how he perceived being a superhero. To that end, Andrew Garfield did an outstanding job with the role. As a "Peter Parker" he did the best he could, though the writing wasn't great. As Spider-man he was phenomenal. As the balance between the two I have no complaints and we saw just how amazing (pun intended) an actor he was with the right material for No Way Home. He deserved all the accolades and more.

    I love the fact you guys are reacting to Spider-Man, specifically Andrew's Spider-man, because to me he was the most realistic in the sense he was a bit more relatable. Especially with how Andrew delivered his performance as Spider-Man so well, yet was overlooked because of some of the writing. I still feel like he deserved to have a part 3 of his Spider-Man just to show us what truly happened to him after he lost Gwen, granted it was hinted but there's def. something more there.

    Agreed. And one reason I particularly like Andrew's Spiderman and the angst that he brings is that his origin story has parallels to Bruce Wayne (minus being a billionaire). They both lost their parents very young in traumatic/mysterious circumstances, they had both suffered an incredible amount of grief and loss in their lives, and they both use Spiderman/Batman to fill that void and try to affect change with it. Obviously, Spiderman isn't nearly as jaded and consumed as Batman (until it's hinted with Andrew's Spiderman after losing Gwen) and makes the choice to see the good and find moments of joy in it. Once I saw that parallel I couldn't unsee it and really adds more layers of nuance for me to his character and Andrew's performance.

    All three actors who played Spider-Man are amazing in their own right. I think that Andrew Garfield has always been my favourite due to his comedic timing and acting chops. Most of his memorable lines were ad-libbed (tiny knives). I just think he had way too many villains to fight (always a bad sign, unless it's an ensemble) and was too "real in the feels" for people. Grief is difficult and we all deal with it in different ways. I also love the fact that all you guys were crying; that's how powerful and relatable it is. Great episode, as always, and thanks Omar for adding to this episode!

    The "Put on the mask, it'll make you strong" has a lot of the same energy as the lines in Spider-verse about "It always fits eventually" and "Anyone can wear the mask. *You* can wear the mask." Sometimes you just need that little confidence boost to get you going forward.

That being said, there will always be something about Andrew's portrayal of that character that is so so special. I think it has to do with the emotion and range he gave in those two films. He's my favorite Spider-man for sure.

    Talking about regression, I remember something with The Punisher in the comics they did. They were showing what it was like in Veitnam for him. In there, him and his squad started getting a rep for men who went too far. They killed, did terrible things, were just absolutely brutal. So a new CO was brought in to try to bring them in line and they got frustrated with this CO constantly holding them back and threating punishment for what they were doing... so... they set him up so the enemy would have a clear shot at the CO and he would die. And it worked. Then Frank comments something like, "I can't wait to be out of this hell hole. Get back to my wife and just live normally again so I don't have to do this crap any more." It was, I think, a good set up in that it shows that Frank Castle was always a violent nut job who does what he thinks is right at the expense of others. It wasn't something that just came out of him when his wife and kid was killed but instead he repressed this inner monster when he was with them. Tried to be a normal person. But when what grounded him was destroyed... he went back to that monster again and started doing like he used to back in 'nam.

    22:25- you know, I've never really felt Spiderman was relatable to me before this. Usually you don't see the superheros loved ones abandon them or leave them for someone else, typically they would die in some tragic way. But this hit too close to home for me. After years of pain and emotional wreckage, eventually you’ll realize that people are the universal lifeline that inevitably will keep you alive. Helping people helps you survive.

With the state of the world right now and so many crazy, scary, sad things happening in the US, having a little mental health time by watching movies with you helps me to have some hope in our future. Thank you for all the hard work you do and stay well. Also, I know it might be a swing in the dark, but my favorite movie of all time is Inherit the Wind made in 1960. There are a ton of themes in that film that I’m shocked to see still prevalent today, so it would be interesting to see both of your takes on it. Not to mention I think it has some of the best acting I’ve ever seen. Alan is right when he says the best visual effects are the actors faces because that is 90% of the movie and it’s amazing. Thanks again for your consideration. ❤️

So now that they're both gone, loads of memories I had of them raising me after looking at photos my grandma used to take when I was young came flooding in. The house is quiet now and I honestly feel empty. I wish they could've stayed longer but they grew older and weaker despite everything I did to take care of them. That feeling of "I could've did better take take care of my grampa" will linger till I die. Dealing with grief will take awhile but that scar will forever remain.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has my three favorite Spider-Man scenes! The opening scene where he’s chasing the armored truck all while he’s running late to graduation, the first fight with Electro where he’s forced to think creatively and save everyone with only one web shooter, and the last scene ESPECIALLY where after EVERYTHING he’s lost, he still goes out as Spider-Man because people need him!! Andrew nailed the character and clearly understands him! Those three scenes capture three big aspects of his character. His personality, his intelligence, and his emotion/duty! I love the first scene where he’s endlessly joking around and being kinda awkward. It personifies the attitude of the character perfectly. He’s joking around and being awkward and he’s joking about running late with the villains! And when he answers his phone while pinned to the front of a truck and has to tuck that canister under his chin so he can take the call had me laughing in the theater! And how he acted like everything was good and very clearly everything was not okay lol. Then in the Electro fight you see his intelligence and his adaptability. He has one web shooter and on the fly brainstorms how to save every single person in what’s seconds to us and a moment for him! And again his jokes are on point. And him shooting the fire hose with a firefighter hat on was gold! Lastly the last scene in the movie (despite how dumb rhino looked) is my absolute favorite Spidey scene. He just lost everything he held most dear. His life is in absolute shambles. But he has an entire city that needs him. And even though he’s aching and broken and wants to quit, he’s gonna go out there and do it anyway because it needs done. He isn’t going to let it stop him or control him! He goes out, puts on a brave (and jovial) face and attitude and he’s Spider-Man! I love Andrew Garfield as Spidey so much!! He’s so perfect in the role!! It’s a shame the second movie was so bad that it soured people on him. The first one was brilliant and the second had great moments and the actors killed it! But sadly people blame the movie on the actor when he was the best part!

She saw her surrogate son suffering from a loss and instead of talking to him about it and giving platitude or saying I know what you're feeling and trying to relate; she does something. She thinks what does Peter need to learn or hear and how can I relay that to him, by doing it herself. There was no way she was thinking about putting Ben's things away until then. Her grief for his death was still ongoing and by stepping up and being peters mother figure she helps in her own healing as well as his.
