When I was a kid, I had this tool for analyzing social situations. If I saw a group of people from my circle hanging out with kids from another circle that I wasn’t so pumped about, I would assign them all a number from -2 to +2. -2 meant I couldn’t stand you. 0 meant you didn’t really register at all. +2 meant I loved you. The 1’s gave you wiggle room. Then I’d add them all up.

If the number came out positive, I’d join my crew. If it came out negative, I’d keep walking.

Let’s apply this analysis:

Musicals? -2
Spidey? +2
SUM: 0

don’t think I can swing this baby.

My brain refuses to accept the conjunction of the concepts “Spider-Man” and “musical”. I love Spider-Man, and I love musicals, but a Spider-Man musical? Huh?

I would not trust a thing the Vulture says about a Spider-Man musical.

Really, Heidi, you’re going to take the word of one of Spider-Man’s DEADLIEST FOES on this? You’re slipping, sister!

… but it’s Julie Taymor!!!, as in Julie “I raped all your favorite Beatles songs so I could make them appealing to 14 year old girls and their soccer moms” Taymor!!! She should be treated like a war criminal! Not even if Rattle & Hum or Auchtung Baby’s Bono & The Edge came from the past to make the music!!

Anyway, another good thing that went wrong becoming a musical…

They’ve got comic book artist (and sometime movie designer) Rafael Kayanan working on the visual design.

It’ll be awful. Flipping BONO? Flipping SPIDER-GODDESS?

Get the fudge out of town, Musical Spidey.
