The trickster personality too.

Anansi is basically a loki type of God. Not that spider-man is a trickster, but he gets off on embarrassing his villains.

Anansi never spoke in fear, instead he is always presented in stories as a smart mouth God even when dealing with forces stronger than he is (something for which he has payed for a couple of times I think). That's textbook spiderman.

c00ns and racists don't want to hear about white people getting and stealing ideas from black people. c00ns don't think black people creative enough to be worth stealing from. Racist know black people the most creative people but they want black people to think like the c00ns think. That anything black have no value and is worthless

There's a slight influence for sure. Spiderman isn't anywhere near a pure trickster though. Now I'm starting to wonder if these thieves stole Thor and Loki from Norse mythology.
They did lol

all super heroes powers stem from them not getting p*ssy.

the comic books are packed with moral guidelines and goals for young white boys, its deep.

they have super powers because their not chasing p*ssy, just that special lady they hope/dream to be with in life.

african storys are the best by the way.

Yeah it’s on Starz, it got highly slept on.

It has a Black protagonist too.

Show is nuts some of the sex scenes are going to turn people off for good though. :manny:


KT The Arch Degree put me on to some of this stuff in Hollyweird.

They do take alot from us.

White comic fans are clueless.

He’s a supporting character, Orlando Jones killed it.

I wish Black people got behind it like we did for Power (both on Starz) cuz now the second season is all up in the air and it’s WAY better than Power.

I gave it up after 2 episodes. First 2 episodes were trying too hard imo.

Does it get better in the first season? or only in the 2nd?
