Spiderman vs Wonder Woman

Spider-Man:Homecoming and Wonder Woman were both box-office hits of the summer, and in their own thematic ways; both movies covered topics extremely applicable to modern society, connecting the present world with older, feel-good characters and storylines to create cinematic successes.
(WARNING: Possible spoilers ahead.) Marvel’s Spider-Man, instead of retelling the already familiar origin story of Peter Parker, created an American teenager vibe and focused alternately on Spider-Man’s trouble balancing crime fighting and an academic/social life. The soundtrack is well-designed to convey this, and excepting one song, emphasizes the classic American atmosphere the movie pushes for. Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker, brings freshness to the role as he delivers a script clearly intended to break from the mold of the previous movies while retaining the likability of the character. In order to prepare for Spider-Man, because he is from England, Holland actually enrolled in and attended a few classes in a US high school despite being 21 because he wanted to understand what he was recreating. While other Spider-Man movies in the past touched on Parker’s high school hassle, Homecoming elaborated on the idea: Peter has a date, a best friend, classes, and even mundane activities-lego building and academic competitions-that are focal in the movie’s plot and enjoyably intertwined with the classic superhero/villain agenda. Oscorp and Dr. Curt Connors, The Lizard, are nowhere to be found. A significant plot twist in the movie was both well-timed and well-reasoned, surprising audience members and keeping watchers engaged without deviating or distracting from previously established schemes, including the motive and alien technology of the crime ring and Parker’s constant drive to prove his worth and save the day. Or rather, Queens.
Wonder Woman, contrary to Homecoming’s modern concentration, follows the timeline of World War I. In this movie, Diana (Wonder Woman), an Amazon warrior and princess, embarks on her own journey of war, love, and adventure in an attempt to stop Hades, the Greek mythological God of War, from tearing the world apart. Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, looks, sounds, and acts the part of determined heroine from beginning to end, with important breaks for comedic effects, plot information, and character development. An extremely important theme in the movie is love; Diana experiences it on her island with the Amazons, but understands her duty to the world, and feels it with Steve, while they both act selflessly to save lives. Steve Trevor, played by Chris Pine, an American pilot, comes into contact with Diana and from then forward works with her, especially once they reach the war, to end it. As is typically present in comics, the villain here, while associated with the traditionally evil side of the war, is fictitious with a specific expertise in order to include the reality of the war and the fighting, but allow the heroine to work seemingly outside of the established chain of command and the public. The plot twist here is originally misleading, convincing the viewer of one conclusion through basic process of elimination in terms of possible outcomes, but the details later introduce a new one.
Both movies’ plots are successful in following the basic lines of the characters while allowing the actors and writers to be creative.
