My mother is an old-school nerd. She watched Star Trek: The Original Series as it aired. When the crew of the USS Enterprise impossibly got a second act for the movies, she made sure to take me with her. In fact, I remember watching Star Trek III: The Search for Spock in the theater and being very upset that the movie began with my favorite Vulcan dying. Sharing movies like this with a parent is more than just a fun escape.Kids see the artifice of parenthood slip away a bit. My mom was a “fan” just like me. When I became a father, I got to live the other side of this experience after the Marvel Cinematic Universe began. The latter in particular achieved a major pop culture milestone never before seen by any other franchise. But long before I covered entertainment for a living, I looked at these movies with gratitude. They felt like a gift for my inner Marvel child, but what really made them special was when I got to experience them with my child.As a faithful reader of Wizard magazine, I learned the unfortunate fate of James Cameron’s Spider-Man movie. Later, at a comic con I went to, I was able to buy what appeared to be the script. I remember going home and reading it immediately. As I visualized the film in my mind’s eye, I got sad to the point of tears. I realized if the man who made Aliens and Terminator couldn’t get a Spidey film made, no one could.
