Random observations:

Of all the alternate universe versions of Spider-Man, Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham appeared in print first and Peni Parker was the last to make her debut.

  • Spider-Ham was first introduced in "Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham" (November 1983)
  • Spider-Man 2099 made his official debut in "Spider-Man 2099" #1 (March 1992)
  • Spider-Man Noir first appeared in "Spider-Man: Noir #1" (February 2009)
  • The Miles Morales version of Spider-Man's first appearance was in "Ultimate Fallout" #4 (August 2011)
  • The Spider-Gwen version of Spider-Woman made her debut in "Edge of Spider-Verse" #2 (September 2014)
  • Peni Parker and SP//dr first appeared in "Edge of Spider-Verse" #5 (October 2014)

I was lucky enough to get to see this in the theater with my dad. You can pretty well immediately see that the animation style is like nothing before ever attempted.

One of the things the filmmaker did to make this movie look so unique was to not "correct" motion blur, something unheard of at the time.

Swamp Shark (2011)

  Swamp Shark (2011) RELEASED June 25, 2011 RUNTIME 85 mins  DIRECTOR Griff Furst  WRITERS Eric Miller (screenplay), Charles Bolon, Jennifer Iwen (screenplay)  STARS Christopher Berry, Wade Boggs, Marcus Lyle Brown COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English  STUDIO Bullet Films GENRES Horror, Thriller Streaming on: TubiTV T he plot: An animal smuggling deal goes wrong resulting in a huge shark accidentally being let loose in a swamp. Random observations: Movie: "You're gonna need a bigger Band-Aid". Me: Hahahahahahahahahaha *laughcries* Why is this movie so green? Sharkapitation! Swamp Shark provides us with mindless b.s. human relationships as we wait for them all to meet unseemly demises. Peppered with obnoxious swamp rock, we are thrust directly into the world of animal smuggling as represented by the rejected auditioners of Real World: Nameless Bayou Town. 0.1/1 Directing 0.3/1 Cinematography 0.2/1 Visual design 0.3/1 Editing 0.1/1 Plot  0/1 Dialogue 0.3/1 ...
