1) Profile the common character traits shared between Peter Parker and Lucius Hunt, and the women they love.
2) What is the theology of Spider Man 2 and the Village, respectively? Their eschatology?
3) What function does "secret keeping" play in each movie's concept of authority and responsibility? How is "lying" treated?
4) Compare Lucius's "color" with Peter's "gift". How do these relate to their own salvation in the end?
5) How do Noah and Doctor Octavius help us to differentiate what it means to be human (without becoming a monster)?
6) What separates the protagonists from the world in which they live? What do they have in common? Who depends upon whom?
7) How do both movies explore leadership, courage, and "doing what needs to be done"? How is sacrifice related to human freedom?

But wait, this is starting to feel more like school than entertainment.

Hmm... this is interesting.
Though I've not seen Spider-Man, I saw The Village and felt a kinship with the character of Lucius Hunt.
These are excellent questions.
