Andrew Garfield On Peter Parker's Development In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

There's too many superheroes with dead parents............

@Dionysios Sometimes, an aunt, no matter how close they are to you, can't replace a mother, mostly on an emotional level.

@Dionysios LMAO!

Didn't like this one at all, but I have faith in the next one.

Again, I thought the first one was good. Really looking forward to the second.

He needs to run out of webbing during a fight in the next one. That's one thing they didn't do in the first. Sure, they had the Lizard break his web-shooters, but I want to see him, mid-fight, run out of webbing and think of different ways to defeat his enemy.

Bigger eyes on the suit will be cool. Hopefully they'll get rid of the stripe down the leg and add the belt.

Introduce: Harry, Norman, MJ, and have J.J. in it at some point. Then it will really feel like Spider-Man. I think that's one of the weaknesses the first one had. There were so many iconic characters not in the movie that it didn't always feel like a Spider-Man movie.

If Electro is in it, there had better be a second villain. Electro can not carry the entire movie. Also, begin setting up the death of Gwen Stacy by bringing Norman in to the picture, and have nods to Green Goblin making an appearance in ASM 3. And be more faithful to the comics with Goblin's look.

@SpectaularSpider He acted the most way people would act in his situation. He's a teenage boy who doesn't have a father or mother. Yes, an Aunt and Uncle, but they aren't his parents. He's a teenager who will be growing up and learning from his mistakes as the movies progress, just as most NORMAL people with morals and ethics do. He's a teenager taking on the responsibilites of man.

I just hope he gets a little bigger and a little more cut than in the first. He should gain a little muscle as the movies go on.

I think he should be about this size in ASM 2. And the costume design isn't bad either.

@SpectacularSpider again......he is just a kid in this movie......... -___- he's not going to know all of this stuff yet. And he wants the girl, and that just sets up Gwen's inevitable death. This will be the consequence of Peter's decision not to keep his promise to Cap. Stacy. Plus, when he gets mad and yells at Ben, that's just realistic. Most people, kids or adults, when they're being yelled at, and they know they've done something wrong, will retaliate by yelling back.

i have high hopes for this movie, i just hope 3 things
1, if jamie foxx is electro, he knocks it out of the park like andrew did with spidey
2, i hope osborn is mentioned and developed a little more but not the villian

3, that they don't call it the amazing spider-man 2, i mean geesh you have so many other comic titles, go with spectactualar, or since you use it for advertising, the untold stories of spider-man, anything but the amazing spider-man 2

his peter was really unlikeable imo. i hope they fix that.

@SpectacularSpider he's still a kid. He's going to be selfish and think about himself at times. You can't have him abide by his promise to Capt. Stacy. He wouldn't put Gwen in danger and we wouldn't get her death. He's not Superman who's a boy scout, he's a teenage kid with teenage ambitions.

Btw, I wouldn't consider Stacy as a father figure for Peter. He had like 2 interactions with him. The Lizard was created due to the formula Peter gave Dr. Connors. Peter didn't know what would happen. His dad didn't leave a note saying, "Peter if you find this, don't give it to Connors. It will turn him in to a lizard and he'll end up killing Capt. Stacy." Sh*t happens every day and policemen are constantly in harms way. Unfortunately, Stacy died in the line of duty. But it wasn't because Peter didn't act. He went to stop the Lizard from spreading that sh*t over Manhattan. Stacy went to aid him and ended up getting killed.

Some of you are right, this version of Peter Parker was a bit of a dick. He wasn't likable. There were glimpses of the true Peter Parker but not enough to not want to slap him upside the head. You can argue that he is reacting in a common, realistic fashion and that may be, however, that's the problem. Peter isn't supposed to be like everyone else, he internalizes the daily amount of shit that gets heaped on him and uses his Spider-Man persona to vent and channel that. As Peter, he's still a smart, quiet, good kid even though he has reason to be the petulant shithead he was in TAS, he isn't. That's what makes him different. They took that away from Peter Parker in TAS. The results; an unappealing dickhead.

The realism that did work was in the way he moved as Spider-Man, the way he fought his first big, save-the-city, battle. It was truly amateur. It was messy, he fumbled a lot and even though he won the day it came with casualties. An almost Pyrrhic victory. It was a welcome realism and it made it stand out from the first trilogy. That type of grounded story telling, you can get behind. Turning Parker into a dick, not so much.
