(Comic) Adaptations Gone Wrong #4

The Ottoman Empire once extended through an impressive swath of Europe, the Middle East and northern Africa. Now though, Turkey extends it's cultural reach not through persuasion or force of arms, but hilariously misguided movie mayhem*.

To wit- we are all familiar with The Man Who Saves the World (and the recently released sequel?!?), but did you know that there have been forays into the mighty world of superheroes too? Rejoice my friends, for this goes beyond mere awful to OMG!!WTF!! levels, or, as I like to think of it, my wheelhouse.

Our offering for this installment is - 3 Dev Adam (Three Mighty Men, aka Turkish Spider-man vs. Turkish Captain America) and it is a beaut. Take a Luchadore (Mexican masked wrestler), Captain America and Spider-Man, add a pinch of Turkish spin on these characters and a soupcon of WTF (Spidey is the villain, and a real psychopath in this)- stir, add 1973 and serve chilled. Are you dying to see this puppy? Well, thanks to our friends @ (the) Google, this is available online for free At This Link. Enjoy.


* Just be clear- we aren't singling-out Turkey, there is actually some amazing cinema coming out of there; as we all know, dreck is truly international transcending gender, class, race, ethnicity, language or location.
