DJM Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I am very interested to see how they fit Spider-Man into the new Captain America film. You would think that even though everyone already knows the origin of the character after two series of films, there will need to be some sort of origin again in this film as he is a new Spider-Man (you cannot really just throw him into the film and have him interact with the Avengers without an established background for him). Â I guess they could have him as pre-Spiderman Peter Parker and have him become Spider-Man in the solo film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 24, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 It's the best thing they could do casting a younger actor, He should be a high school student, dealing with Flash Thompson, doing homework and fighting crime. Thats what Spider-man. During the Sony leaks there was a great email from Marvel complaining about Sony rebooting the franchise with Amazing Spider-man then immediately having him graduate ( I'll spoiler the email from Alan Fine during the pre-production of the last film because its long) but Marvels point of view was that they didn't really need the origin story again after the first one, keep him in school / college and to stop fucking around with things    From: Fine, AlanSent: Monday, September 17, 2012 5:00 PMTo: Cohen, TomSubject: RE: Amazing Spider-Man 2 script  Tom,  First of all, your notes are excellent. In many areas you actually take the works right out of my mouth exactly as I would say them. Well done! Therefore, I am only going to focus on a few over-arching issues, several of which you already mention but deserve further emphasis because I agree that they are so important:  . This story is way too dark, way too depressing. I wanted to burn the draft after I read it never mind thinking about buying the DVD.  . I have a major issue with the overall strategic direction they are taking with the Spider-Man franchise. I think it is, potentially, very dangerous to undermine the significant events of the first Spider-Man trilogy. This new trilogy is, in essence, a prequel to the original trilogy. However, many of the events of this draft attempt to tell a completely different story, e.g., in the original trilogy Norman became the Green Goblin and lost his life in a battle with Peter. He did not die in his bed from a genetic disease. Harry did not become the Green Goblin. He became the Black Goblin and hated Peter for supposedly killing his father. Harry and Peter went to school together, Harry did not go away to Boarding School. In the original trilogy, MJ lived next door to Peter for as long as he could remember. They went to school together. She did not just show up after Peter graduated from High School. Uncle Ben articulated the famous words “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”, not Peter’s father. Etc., Etc., I think that it is a mistake to deny the original trilogy it’s place in the canon of the Spider-Man cinematic universe. What are you telling the audience? That the original trilogy is a mistake, a total false-hood? We lied to you? Just made it up? Why should the audience buy into the world we create now? Will we deny it’s place in the Spider-Man cinematic universe at the next reboot?     . I was under the impression that one major reason for the reboot was to be able to put Peter back in High School because we could tell better stories in that environment. So, Why do we begin this story with a graduation?    . The chemistry between Emma and Andrew is so good and such a positive that I wonder why it’s so necessary to kill her off in this movie? Let the relationship flourish and commit the deed in the next movie. Why rush? Their relationship was the best part of the first movie and it’s the best part of this story. This draft needs to shed some depressing weight any way.  . This story, as did the first movie, feels so formulaic. Everything feels like it’s been done before, with the exception of the “girlfriend’s” death which I feel is unnecessary and premature anyway. The unsuspecting, innocent, means to do well villain victim who turns into the hunted and hated monster. The girlfriend he desperately wants but can’t have. Aunt May in financial trouble. Misunderstood and hated by his best friend. The only thing we are really attempting to change is the history of the Spider-Man Cinematic Movie Canon of the original trilogy in order to make this story seem new and interesting. However, I don’t think it works.  I found this draft tedious, boring, and had to force myself to read it through. Just felt like every other Spider-Man movie, cartoon show, comic book story. Same old same old.  . I don’t buy Electro’s hate of Spider-Man. Feels manufactured, convenient, undeserved. It’s part of the whole formulaic issue I mention above. Why do we always have to witness the Spider-Man movie villain be created from scratch and imbue him with all the reasons why he should hate the world and especially Spider-Man? Why can’t there just be some evil out there already and Spidey is the first and last line of defense? Use some flash backs to prove out the ruthless, blood-lusting, darkness of the beast but don’t bog down every Spider-Man movie with the complete creation and backstory of the innocent victim that we can’t even come to fully despise because his evilness ain’t his fault. In any case, we need to develop some rules around the scope of Electro’s powers. He seems to be able to do whatever he needs to do when he needs to do it.  . Of course, the overall story is w-a-y  too l-o-n-g!  .  3 villains? Give me a break  I think the dynamic of having sarcastic, annoying teenage Spider-man interacting with the more serious superheroes could be fantastic.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 24, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interesting email, that. I'm with him on a lot of points - definitely agree that the Garfield/Stone chemistry was the best part of those films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have a fuzzy memory on these things but in one of the marvel universe's weren't Parker's parents involved with the super soldier syrom somehow?  Sort of. In the Ultimate Universe they created the symbiote suit (i.e. Venom), which in turn was an attempt to recreate the super soldier program.  Unless of course there was another universe where they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2015 His parents turned up again in the comics but turned out to basically be robots made by Chameleon. I've not read them for years but I think there was some spy stuff in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
