Why did JB appear on the Spider-Man DVD if he didn see the movie?
JB: I appeared on the DVD to talk about SPIDER-MAN, one of my favorite characters. I didn’t talk about the movie. In fact, they asked me not to, knowing I do not approve of the changes made to Peter Parker’s character. I wish a big budget extravaganza like the movie could have been at least as faithful to the character as was the old animated series, poor as that was, or even the live action TV show. Both lack the budget to really do justice to the character of Spider-Man, but at least they did not mess with intrinsic elements of who he is. And they certainly didn’t make changes based entirely on the director’s ego.
