bitten by a spider
In both scenes the other
students bully him
Peter Parker is shown
as an nerd too . He

spiders instead of
radioactivity.
The lecturer= guide is a
woman whereas in the
comics it’s a man
He has a friend; he is not
alone as opposed to the
comics (but in the film
his friend is not very loyal
so in a way he is lonely
too)
He looks happier than in
the comics
He has a social role as he
is a school reporter
He doesn't look too
disturbed/ bothered by
other students’
aggressivity while in the
comic strip he is sobbing

the comics the girl he
loves is named Mary and
not Sally
