I picked Spiderman as the hero in this movie seriese because he displayed the characteristics that a hero should have. According to the text, Profiles of Popular Culture, heroes are the people that we look up to; those who we think of as higher than us and we want to be like them (Browne, 2005). Peter Parker, as Spiderman, is looked up to as someone who is there to save New York. It is true, durring parts of all the movies he was not liked, but there were always people who looked for his help.
Children who watched these movies also looked at Spiderman as a hero. They looked up to him and wanted to be like him. My brother once wore a spiderman outfit for halloween and we both had toys that shot silly string like a web. Spiderman is thought of as a hero both in the movie by other characters and from the viewers of the movie.
