Spider-Awesome

Seeing this helps offset seeing those goofs in the news who fight each other in Times Square or Hollywood.

(apologies if it's already been posted)

 

Great job Spidey!

 

[Columbia Comics]

That is one of the best video's I've seen in a while. The kid looks stunned.

 

Not only that, its was pretty "awesome" that the dad actually jumped off the roof and stuck the landing, like Spidey would!

 

 

[Wilson3d]

So awesome! And I'm with you on the great landing! I would have probably broke something.

[Davenport]

In the video you'll hear Spider-man say "Mom, Dad, did you get my message?", so I don't think it's his dad.

I'm guessing he's a hired performer who absolutely NAILS it, the energy level, voice, body language, everything.

Whoa! I want that guy to come to my birthday!

[telerites]

Wow what a leap

 

Very cool!

In the video you'll hear Spider-man say "Mom, Dad, did you get my message?", so I don't think it's his dad.

 

If you listen to the mom when Spider-man asks that question the mom says "Dad is at the shop.", as in he wasn't there.

 

I think it is the dad. Either way, dad or pro that was full of win.

That was AWESOME!!!!!

THIS is what this hobby is all about. Making kids happy and smile and feel good.

 

I was smiling the whole time watching that little guy and how happy he was to see Spidey.

 

Breaks my heart the child is sick.

 

Thanks for posting

This puts everything in perspective. Thanks for posting.

Spidey was dad. They talked about Dad to explain why he wasn't there

[Wally's Comics]

wow that was really convincing. I hope the little guy recovers soon!

 

I had a neighbor don the suit for my boys 4th birthday and it was nothing but comedy...

 

 

 

 

 

[yoddler]

I hadn't seen the boy was sick -- makes the whole thing that much more special!

Good catch! (thumbs u And prayers for the child's recovery.

Kick cancer's azz Lil' Guy!!!! :wishluck:

 

And the Wally's Comics vids are hilarious. You're lucky Spidey didn't flip that table or snap a doorknob off. Thanks for the share.

That landing had to hurt, but awesome entrance!

[fmaz]

Awesome on all counts...and heartbreaking!

 

When our son was little we took these mesh laundry bags and I'd put presents in them on his birthday and at Christmas and hang them from the ceiling with a note from his "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" telling him what a good boy he'd been that year. It was always a few Spidey action figures.

 

Best I could do. That landing in that video would have killed me!

[Davenport]

That landing in that video would have killed me!

Plus that costume looks to have zero support in the "feet". It'd be like jumping off bare foot.

 

That costume also looks top-tier professional quality though. Dad went all out. Love the way he keeps his body weight supported on finger tips and toes, just like Spidey!

Jesus jumping christ, people. The freaking title of the video is "Amazing SpiderDad". Click through to YouTube and the dad explains he did it to surprise his son who has a "Grade 4 Brain Stem Tumor with an average of 1 yr to live."
