I got to admit: I like Amazing Spider-Man 2 and yes it is very flawed but personally i found it to be very enjoyable but i do get where pepole are coming from when saying that the Amazing Spider-Man franchise is not very good i dissagre but that's besides the point. I thought to myself even though i do not wanted the ASM Franchise to be rebooted would a reboot improve the things that were done poorly in Amazing Spider-Man 1/2. Well i decided to make this article on what i would like to see if they rebooted the Spider-Man Franchise
Before we go over the actors let's go over some other details.
Tone:
While i do like the Amazing Spider-Man and do admit that the tone of the orginal Spider-Man Films are a bit corny. I do really like the comic book inspired world they set up in the Spider-Man Trilgoy. However, do i want it to have a similar tone to Spider-Man..sorta of. I honestly want their to be a good balance between fun comic book action and serious drama which to be honest i do not think any of the Spider-Man films have gotton the right balance yet though i do admit that Spider-Man 2 got the closest. I want a Spider-Man films that embraces the comic book while also having drama and dark moments like in ASM.
Story:
One of my big problems with Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that the story is too complicated. Setting up 3 movies in one film was a big gamble and to be honest it did not pay off and sadly i don't think the more complicated storyline for ASM1 and 2 has worked out in its favour. The orginal Spider-Man trilgoy kept it to a good three act structure and to be honest while i don't want the story to be as simple as it was in SM i do want them to keep the films self-contained and follow the three act structure. Also i do not want another retelling of Spider-Man films. Make it like the Tim Burton Batman Film which did show flashbacks but kept a lot of it shrouded in mystery. Also don't set it in high-school set it that PP is in his early 20s and working for the Daily Bugel.
Supporting Charcters:
One of the best things about Spider-Man in general is the supporting cast. Spider-Man has always had a good supporting cast and while both films had okay supporting cast they were pretty meh with the expectation of J Jameson in the orginal nothing really stood out. For a reboot i want a better supporting cast with of corse Aunt May but other charcters that have not been betrayed on the big screen such as Jean Dewolff and Liz Allen. Spider-Man has always had a good supporting and i would like to see a mix between classic charcters and new charcters that have never been in a SM film.
Costume:
In my mind both the Amazing Spider-Man Films and the Spider-Man Trilgoy did a really good job and bringing the costume of Spider-Man to life on the big screen especially Amazing Spider-Man 2. If they do reboot it though i would like to change things up when regarding the costume. This is the costume that i would like to see in the Spider-Man Reboot
Peter Parker/Spider-Man:
While do to like both Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man neither is perfect. Personally i would like a mix between the cool badass Andrew and the nerdy Toby. Before i tell you my choice for Peter keep in mind this is all opinion based so if you dissagre post in the comments below:
My Choice is Grant Gustin as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
The Girlfreind:
I really like Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. Kristen Dunce as Mary Jane..yeah no. I honestly want a much better protrayal of Mary Jane in these new films. Someone who is snarky but is also supportive and has good chemistry with the lead actor. I know you may dissagre with this but:
My choice for Mary Jane is Karen Gillain:
The Villain:
Okay i will say this right now i do think that the Spider-Man films do a lot better job at the villains compared with the Amazing Spider-Man Films. As for who should be the villain, well this is a rather difficult one to pick because most of the main villains have been protrayed on screen decently so who should be the main villain
Nikolaj Coster Waldau as Kaine
I should explain this one. Kaine will have a revamped origin. Being a sucessful buisnessmen who worked along side Ben and Osborn. Kaine is a weapons manufacture and after watching Spider-Man's power first hand decides that he can use it to create weapons who have similar powrss to Spider-Man. He collects Spider-Man's blood and decides to test it on himself to see if it worked. It doesn't and hidiously deforms his face but in turn he gains Spider-Man Powers. Kaine finds out that the researchers spiked the blood on request from Osborn. In revenge he takes out his anger on Spider-Man and Oscorp.
