Hamlet and Spider-Man




With Great Writing Comes Great Parody


Some my know that today is Shakespeare birthday.  And While I'm more an Oxfordian or believe that at least someone or a group of someone's actually wrote the plays of Shakespeare, twitter made this event fun and special with Spider_Hamlet



Then I started to think about Spider-Man and he is, in a sense, a tragic figure but it's that tragedy that propels him towards heroics rather than towards revenge and tragedy.

Then this made think of Spider-Man as a play and then I remembered that Spider-Man was a MUSICAL.  Well a Rock Musical, Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark .  While it was apparently a big failure, there were some great songs from Bono and Reeve Carney that came out of it.
