Spider-Noir has us hooked onto Prime Video since its release this Wednesday. Like every other Spider variants across the Marvel multiverse, this show's version of the wall-crawler shares a lot of similarities with his multiversal counterparts across different mediums. For instance, Nicolas Cage's Ben Reilly/The Spider can spin web like other Spider-Men but it looks inkier and organic than the ones we saw before.Another way this version is different from other variants is the spider-sense. For the uninitiated, the spider-sense warns Spider-Men about an impending danger across different mediums and continuities. In fact the Spider-Noir's version of this specific power might hint at the different origin of this version of the wall-crawler, which is influenced by Spider-Man Noir's origin in the comics.Ben Riley's spider-sense: How is this power in Spider-Noir different?In the show, Ben feels spider-sense intensifying on the back of his head everytime there is a danger lurking around. However, there is one major addition to spider-sense in the show's continuity. Ben Riley's spider-sense gives him the ability to see his super-powered enemies. This is a bit different from spider-senses which was visualized through wavy lines over the wall-crawlers' heads. Spider-Noir never explains why Ben gets these visions.The Show gives a horror edge to Spider-Man's origin: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe fifth episode, "Betrayal" reveals that Ben got his powers when he was bitten by a mutated half-man, half-spider during the final days of World War I. This is very different than the usual Spider-Man origin which involves a radioactive spider biting Peter Parker. This new origin gives a horror edge to this version of Spider-Man than other variants.This falls in line with the noir genre and the rating of the series, which hints at a show geared towards an older audience. Discussing the noir influence, Spider-Noir showrunner Oren Uziel told ScriptMag.com:"It was very noir forward right from the start. I think if you're making this show, if you’re taking the character Spider-Man Noir, and you're making a noir with this character, that’s just the world we're living in. And those are the storytelling tools you're using and that was dominant. So, in the writers' room and for me, it's all starting with those early noirs and working your way all the way forward."Then, he continued:"I was always asking people to watch them. Go watch The Third Man. Go watch In a Lonely Place, go watch Double Indemnity. Go watch Lady from Shanghai and all the way up through L.A. Confidential. Please watch Miller's Crossing. Please watch Last Deduction."The noir-ish elements also also influenced the main character and his age. The show's version of the wall-crawler is the oldest version of character, who has lost his girlfriend in a tragedy. Uziel discussed aging up Ben Reilly for the Prime Video series in a TV Insider interview:“When I first came on, the first thing I asked is if I could age him up. Because it’s just … it’s a story that I [would] be more comfortable telling, that I’m more familiar with. I’m not a high school kid anymore. I really thought, let’s see what happens to this character if we jump forward in time and see just what he’s been through and how it’s changed him, and how living a long life as The Spider might affect that character.”He further added:“And then that also allowed us to cast Nic Cage. And then, together with Nic, I think we just created something that I think no one’s ever seen before, and that felt really satisfying.”Spider-Noir is currently streaming on Prime Video and MGM+.
