Are superhero movies dead? You know, the kind where a handsome white man saves the city and gets the girl? Ok, maybe those movies aren't dead, but not for lack of trying. Spiderverse makes a point of killing the handsome, perfect Peter Parker in the first five minutes of the movie. This universe - OUR universe - has to be saved by a mixed-race kid from the wrong side of town, a depressed Jewish Peter, and a jazz-drumming young woman. So we're talking with James Aponte, filmmaker and screenwriter, about the death of normality, fragmented identity, collectivism, diversity, and the value of representation. It's one hell of a discussion!
