Spiderman
The film adaptations of Spider-Man were inspired by the comic of the same name, first published in 1962 by Marvel Comics and developed by Stan Lee. Although with some variations, depending on the universe explored, the narrative follows in a very similar way on the big screen and in the pages of the comics: Peter Parker is an orphaned teenager who lives with his uncles in New York, has a brilliant mind, and suffers constant bouts of bullying at school for being shy and intelligent.
Later, while visiting Dr. Connors on a school trip, he is bitten by a radioactive spider. After some time, Peter notices strange changes in his body and begins to develop special abilities, which will later become essential to transform him into a superhero. Meanwhile, his uncle dies after being the victim of a mugger and forces Peter to fight the pain and find a way to help people. It is then that he takes on the Spider-Man alter ego to deal with criminal threats in New York.
The platform currently offers the three Cabeça de Teia sagas, starring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. The films available are:
Panic
Scream is a successful horror film franchise, the prominent sub-genre of which is Slasher. Created by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven, the first feature film was released in the United States in 1996 and revolutionized the Slasher genre by bringing with it a highly intelligent, masked and bloodthirsty villain. The work was initially performed by three actors: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette.
The story begins as a spate of brutal murders hit a quiet country town. A serial killer, carrying a huge knife and a mask with the face of a ghost, calls the young people trying to scare them. The victims have to answer the horror movie questions correctly, and if they get it wrong, the killer breaks into the house and stabs them to pieces. As the murders attract more and more attention, both from the police and from journalists, new victims appear. Among them, Sidney Prescott (Campbell) suffers an attempted murder by the serial killer, but ends up surviving.
But it’s the very fact that she survived that makes her so special to the killer. Therefore, he begins an obsessive journey to kill her at any cost. Unlike other villains in the film, this one fights but is also defeated, is strategic but makes mistakes; and the whole narrative revolves around a game of cat and mouse where the last one standing will be the one to survive.

Harry Potter
The Harry Potter films are an adaptation of the book series of the same name, written by author JK Rowling and published in 1997. Considered a cornerstone of fantasy literature and one of the best-selling book franchises in the world, the films do not tackle narratives like away from the pages of books.
Harry is an orphaned boy who lives on behalf of his uncles, named Vernon and Petunia Dursley. The boy is exploited in every way and lives in a dusty room under the living room stairs. His cousin Duda also teases and mistreats him. The implications become so frequent that, during tantrums, Harry begins to express special abilities, even though he doesn’t know how that’s possible.
After the house where they live has been inundated with letters and owls that keep appearing, the family decides to take a few days off in a distant and deserted place. It is then that the half-giant, named Hagrid, invades the place to personally deliver a special letter to Harry and a birthday cake. Gradually, Harry discovers that he is a wizard and, therefore, has been mistreated by his uncles. The boy’s magical journey begins when he enters Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he must learn to cast spells, create potions, fly on magical broomsticks and much more.

As Edward exhibits strange behavioral habits, Bella becomes more and more intrigued by her colleague, until the unexpected happens: he saves her from being run over by pushing a van with his hand.
