Then abruptly, Sony’s solo “Spider-Man” franchise halted, and we wondered where Spidey had gone, before he somersaulted into the trailer of “ Captain America: Civil War,” his “Hey, everyone” directed at the fans as much as the Avengers. As such a fan, I was thrilled when the wall-crawler reached the big screen in 2002 and even more so in 2004 - especially since “Spider-Man 2” gave me an early experience of IMAX - and I seem to be one of the few people who like “ Spider-Man 3.” While the 2012 reboot, “ The Amazing Spider-Man,” proved more average than “Amazing,” the 2014 follow-up, “ The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” provided genuinely emotional moments. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s creation of a nerdy teenager who acquires the abilities of a spider has struck nerves (or web strands) with multiple generations, as Peter Parker’s struggles with his new powers and the isolation he experiences resonate with teenage feelings of angst and loneliness. For many a superhero fan, whether in comic books, television or movie format, Spider-Man is likely to be a childhood favorite.
