Watch the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. What does a modern story like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse have in common with prior Spiderman tales? You might want to look at the powerpoint with the first Spiderman tales that accompanies movie night 1. Considering the ideas of Walter Burkert (“myth is traditional tale applied,” p. 14-15 in Morford and Lenardon), how has Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse been shaped to meet the needs of its contemporary audience? How has the Spiderman tale remained the same, yet changed over time? What does this tell us about story telling in general?
