Naruto Creator Praises the Most Controversial Spider-Man Film, Masashi Kishimoto's Choice Shocks Marvel Fans!

Kapanlagi.com - Shocking news comes from the creator of NARUTO, Masashi Kishimoto. In the latest Marvel documentary airing on Disney+, the legendary mangaka expressed his love for one of the Spider-Man films that has often received criticism from fans.

Kishimoto's choice immediately caught attention because the film he praised is not Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy or the MCU version featuring Tom Holland. Instead, he chose The Amazing Spider-Man 2, a film starring Andrew Garfield that was once considered one of the most controversial Spider-Man adaptations.

This statement once again proves that the worlds of manga and American comics have a close relationship. For years, many Japanese creators have claimed to be inspired by Western superhero characters, including Spider-Man, which has become one of Marvel's biggest icons.

In the documentary Generations: The Evolution of Spider-Man released on Disney+, Masashi Kishimoto revealed that he really likes The Amazing Spider-Man 2. This opinion is quite surprising because the film is often considered one of the most criticized Spider-Man adaptations upon its release.

According to Kishimoto, the version of Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield is the one that best embodies the great meaning of the iconic Spider-Man phrase, "With great power comes great responsibility." He feels that Peter in this film carries a much heavier burden of responsibility compared to other versions.

The film itself features Spider-Man's battles against Electro, Green Goblin, and Rhino. Additionally, the tragic story of Gwen Stacy's death also becomes one of the most emotional moments ever presented on the big screen by Marvel.

It is no secret that the world of Japanese manga and American comics often influence each other. Over the past few years, unique collaborations have emerged, ranging from Deadpool appearing in Shonen Jump manga, Avengers battling Titans from Attack on Titan, to Suicide Squad ISEKAI.

Now, the relationship has become even more interesting after Kishimoto appeared in Marvel's official documentary. His presence demonstrates the significant influence Spider-Man has had on renowned manga creators, including Naruto's own creator.

Interestingly, a live-action Naruto project is currently being prepared by Lionsgate. The film will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who coincidentally is also working on the latest MCU film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, making the connection between these two franchises feel even closer.

3. Andrew Garfield Still Has a Chance to Return as Spider-Man

Although The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was Andrew Garfield's last film as the main actor for Spider-Man, the opportunity for him to don the red-and-blue suit is still wide open.

His appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home received an incredible response from fans. The chemistry with Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire has led many to hope that Garfield will return in the next Marvel project.

With the upcoming films Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars revisiting the multiverse concept, many fans believe Marvel still has a chance to bring back Andrew Garfield's version of Spider-Man. Although a crossover between Naruto and Spider-Man remains a mere dream, the history of Naruto's collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proves that things that seem impossible can indeed happen.
