More like the earlier version of red riding hood. Fairy tales tends to be extreme before it being made into the all age version which we all know today.
yeah the little mermaid also turning to seafoam

i vaguely know the story of the 'red shoes' where you're cursed to dance eternally but i don't think there was a 'disneyfied' ver to make that into a happy ending

Why does Japanese Spiderman have a giant mecha?
Because Japanese.
In fact, the plot device of the hero(es) having to pilot a mech to defeat an overpowered villain-of-the-week was originally from Japanese Spider-Man.

So... yeah. Power Rangers (and many other tokusatsu series) were directly inspired by an absurd Japanese reinterpretation of Spider-Man in the 1970s.

For us, it might seem strange, but this is the version the Japanese are more familiar with. And it is the one that, through several retellings, has ended appearing in this manga, confusing many readers (who probably think that Cid mixed ideas from different series when he told the story to an even younger Beta).

But, no... Supaidāman exists, and it can hurt you.

Was stories in newspapers a thing? The only newspapers that had stories in my experience was the trashy ones. The reputable ones that I've read don't have novels in them.

Newspapers were the original home of serialized stories. That eventually shifted over to dedicated magazines. Though many nowadays are just self-published online.

Japan basically has a whole-ass industry for looking through self-published serialized stories and then turning them into professionally published novels.

It happens in the US too (Old Man's War and John Dies at the End are examples) but it feels much rarer.
