On the drive home for work, I was listening to one of the Munk Debates. These have top figures, typically two on each side, debating a major public policy issue for about an hour and a half, with opening statements, a back and forth and closing statements. And I started wondering what Spider-Man topics could be debated in this manner.
There are probably a few.
- Ditko or Romita, who has the better take on Spider-Man?
- Should Peter Parker be married to Mary Jane?
- What's the better Spider-Man film adaptation: the Raimi/ Maguire trilogy or the MCU Spidey?
- Who's the better Spider-Man writer: Roger Stern or JM DeMatteis?
- Going forward, should Venom be a hero or villain?
- Going forward, should Doctor Octopus be a hero or villain?
What do you guys think? Are there other big disagreements on this level?
