Spider-Noir (2026) TV Thread

Well, this is way more awesome than I was expecting. I prefer the black and white version.

Black & White or Colour?





B&W feels more authentic

Black & White or Colour?

B&W for sure

I'm not sure what to make of Spider Noir.

It certainly looks visually good, but not sure what it is trying to do (maybe it's just trying too hard?), and you can't see beyond Nicolas Cage being Nicolas Cage.

I watched the first 3 episodes and thought it was fantastic. I watched it in black and white as I assumed that was the intended way to watch it. I've never heard of Spider Noir before. I don't read comics, and I don't remember him being mentioned in any live-action stuff. I'm looking forward to finishing it off.

It really builds and gets better with each episode. Cage is magnificent. Gleeson is excellent as always. Watched in B&W, will probably rewatch an episode in colour for comparison but B&W is the way to go.

I'm up to episode 3 in this, have been watching in colour. Did start watching episode 4 in black and white. I think I prefer it in colour.

I liked it. We did one in black and white and one in colour and rotated each episode. It was good fun series. Some great Nic Cage overacting and scene chewing.

 

[Dylan]

Just finished it. Really good series. Nothing ground-breaking but Cage basically playing Bogart is entertaining and there's a good mix of action and dialogue.

It does suffer from one of the smarter characters making a decision at one point which is incredibly illogical and about the worst of several options they could have chosen. Felt like the creative team knew where they wanted to go but didn't have a sensible way to get there.
