DISCLAIMER: This is just my personal thoughts on where the franchise should go. I'm not involved, in any way, with the production of the film. I, personally, quite enjoyed the first two The Amazing Spider-Man films but understand if you dislike them. However, since my taste is different than yours, where I might want the franchise to head might be different than your version and that is okay. Still, this is going to be my own personal write-up but, should you want to write your own, I would definitely love to see what you guys come up with as well. Well, without further ado, I will dive into this.
The movie will pick up with the sounds of explosions as the logos flash and it starts with Spider-Man jamming the metal sewer pot into the side of the RHINO armor. A pretty lengthy battle between RHINO and Spider-Man ensues where RHINO begins targeting civilians to try to distract Spider-Man. Spider-Man, however, manages to jump around the explosions and save the civilians in danger. Upon saving one family, however, Spider-Man is blasted off his feet and RHINO stalks over to him, lifting up the head to look down on him. Spider-Man manages to use this to his advantage and pulls Aleksei out of the suit and jumps into it, pulling a whole bunch of wires out. The RHINO suit collapses as Spider-Man is celebrated by the public and the police.
Mister Fiers is then seen talking to Harry in the cell, stating that Spider-Man managed to take down Aleksei Systevich. The talk explains the motivations of Fiers and Harry as Fiers, originally working from behind-the-scenes, provides the idea of ascending through OsCorp (as he is now CEO, following his murder of Menken) and into the political rhelm as mayor of the city. He will seize the position of mayor by continuing to use OsCorp to stop the new and increased vigilante activity in the city by also creating threats. Harry, on the other hand, wants increased government contracts and funding to OsCorp as he discovered that the spider venom already had accelerated his health problems. Norman Osborn had been able to extend his life through multiple different experiments which were all destroyed following the cross species disaster. The only thing Harry has left is the spider venom that only continues to accelerate his condition with use or he needs OsCorp to continue to be funded by government contracts. RHINO was the first step of the plan; he was to rampage around Manhattan and the police department, without Spider-Man, would be searching for someone to help and OsCorp would come out of the dark with its Vulture prototype (developed by Adrian Toomes) and provide a public sanctioned vigilante. However, with Spider-Man back, it puts a hinderence on the plan. Harry tells Fiers to go with the "Mysterio" project.
Six months pass by as Peter finishes his second year of college. However, more and more, Peter is spending time out of the house, passing his hours now also working as a web designer for the Bugle. May tries to call him saying that it has been a year since Gwen's death and that he can't bury himself in his work. Peter doesn't listen and tells May that he will be home around 6:00. On May's end, we see her looking out the window as new neighbors unpack their boxes. May decides to go out and say hello, where she encounters a woman named Anna Watson. May begins talking about how she lives with her nephew. Anna says that her niece is actually around a lot now that she goes to school in the city and is actually helping her unpack. May asks what her name is and Anna replies that it is Mary Jane.
On Peter's end of the call, we see J. Jonah Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons) storm out of his office, yelling for Urich and Parker. Peter goes up and Jameson tells Peter that there is (apparently) an alien invasion starting around lower Manhattan. Peter and Urich both raise eyebrows but Jameson yells at them to go check it out. Urich calls a cab and Peter says that he left his camera in the office and that he'll meet him up there. It is then that Peter goes into an alley and changes into Spider-Man, slinging his camera over his shoulder.
Peter shows up and he can't believe what he is seeing. A swarm of alien ships are surrounding the Statue of Liberty as giant ships pass overhead. Mysterio is in the middle of the power plant where Gwen died, swarmed by green smoke as a whole bunch of odd looking aliens surround him. Spider-Man hangs up his camera and jumps into the middle of Battery Park. Mysterio hasn't started his attack yet because he has been holding civilians hostage in hopes of getting the leader and using him as leverage (or so Mysterio says). Spider-Man says that he is not the leader but he'd be more than happy to punch a hole through the fish bowl. As Spider-Man approaches to punch Mysterio, a swirl of green smoke surrounds Mysterio and he disappears. Spider-Man turns around to get punched in the face my Mysterio and suddenly he is surrounded by Mysterios. He begins punching them and realizes they are robots. However, a group of them are holding up their hands (as they have repulsors, much like Iron Man, built into their hands) pointing at the civilians. Spider-Man jumps in front of the blast and is shot backward, nearly knocked unconscious. Mysterio taunts that he has beaten the champion of Earth.
That is when Vulture swoops in and begins, with ease, tossing grenades into pockets of the robot army and blasting enemies with his guns. (He is not Adrian Toomes, who was the developer, but rather Blackie Drago, a mercenary with ties to Kraven the Hunter, hired by OsCorp. We learn this in the next scene between Fiers and Beck.) Mysterio tries to stand up following have been close in proximity to one of the grenades. Drago, however, manages to beat down Mysterio and almost succeeds in breaking the fish bowl before Mysterio dissipates in a puff of green smoke. Vulture, then, flies off as the ships all "retreat" and the green smoke dissipates. Spider-Man wakes up to see the police swarming around and pointing their guns at him. Spider-Man leaps away and disappears before one can shoot him.
Mister Fiers, then, shows up in a massive prop house where we see a whole bunch of OsCorp boxes and Mysterio fishbowls. Mister Fiers, however, walks through all of it and walks exits through Stage Left to see Quentin Beck nursing wounds. Beck notices him in the mirror and turns around to face Fiers. Beck gets all on his case over the Vulture almost killing him. Fiers replies that Drago knows what he is doing and so does OsCorp. Beck says that he could've killed Spider-Man right there and he would've finished everything right there. Fiers, however, says that he is still needed to crack the genetic code of the spider venom to save a "primary investor". Fiers states that despite the fact Spider-Man survived, they brought him back down to earth and placed suspiscion back on him. With Vulture being introduced in a massive OsCorp press conference later that day, OsCorp will be in control of all superpowered crime and punishment...and so much more.
Peter is in his room, watching a video of Gwen and his while they were on a date in Times Square. He starts to cry when May knocks on his door. He turns off the video and opens the door as May Parker comes in. She sits down on his bed and says that she got his grade report from ESU. Peter sits on his chair as May tells him that many of his best subjects: Science, English and Math, all fell to C+s. The worst grade he got was a C- but May says that this is not like him. May and Peter have a pretty heartfelt talk about Ben and Gwen. May states that she has started dating Miles Warren, a man currently advancing in the field of cloning and that it might be time for Peter to move on. May brings up Anna Watson's niece, Mary Jane Watson. Peter says that he can't go out with her. May asks why he can't and Peter says that it is because everyone who gets close to him ends up dead. May retorts that he can't live his life in a bubble and Peter says that if he doesn't, she'll die too. May and Peter then begin to argue culminating with May saying that she knows he's Spider-Man and to stop lying to her on why he can't be with anyone. Peter stands shocked for a little while and then runs out of the house.
We, then, cut to an OsCorp press conference where Felicia is providing the commentary over the future of OsCorp. She states that OsCorp is trying to provide for a city where it had failed before. She states that it had failed in producing helpful, beneficial members to the city; that in order to protect from the escalating superhuman threat that more superhumans are needed. Felicia states that the first in a new breed of superheroes is the Vulture, which the Daily Bugle named for OsCorp in their paper. Felicia states that OsCorp is also doing an overhaul of the power plant, realizing it is too vulnerable. Felicia brings up noted nuclear phyisicist, Doctor Otto Octavius, to explain his plans. Octavius states that nuclear fusion has become his priority since he got hired by OsCorp, following the disaster at the power plant one year ago. Once again, he says, an enemy has targeted this extremely vulnerable power plant. Octavius states that he won't wait for the third strike. With his fusion reactor, only one person can possibly mess with it, thanks to the uniqueness of the arms that are required to operate it and keep it stable. Octavius shows off the arms that are needed to operate the machine. He is met with roaring applause and Urich is seen writing as the camera pans in on Spider-Man, watching from above the square.
The next shot we see Peter stalking into his father's Roosevelt Island labratory, furious. He, once again, brings up the subway train and goes inside, looking for anything that can get him access to OsCorp. Inside, Peter finds the old badge of his father's. Peter is unsure if it'll work but he takes it anyway and gains entry to OsCorp using this. He finds that he can't gain entry to the building initially as it is was overridden by Norman Osborn. It searchs, however, for the status of the overrider and finds that Norman is dead. It grants Peter access and actually directs him to the Special Projects area, where Richard Parker's work had originally been. Peter gains access and takes a whole bunch of pictures of the Mysterio, RHINO and Vulture equipment right next to each other. We see Peter sneak around as Fiers shows up, talking with Felicia. Peter manages to escape and shows up to Jameson's office with the pictures. Jameson is unsure whether to believe Spider-Man but Robbie takes the photos to the police department. While the police are unsure, they get a warrant to go into the building to check for the evidence and discover that there is, in fact, the connection.
Fiers shows up immediately to tell Harry what is going on. Harry, immediately, injects himself with more of the spider venom to give him extra strength. The mutation only looks worse than Goblin's initial look as his skin begins to rip and thin. Harry can only last so long without the suit, however, and he and Fiers open up the secruity vault using the clearance from Fiers. Harry, then, suits up as the Goblin and breaks Electro (who had been captured by OsCorp and brought back to Ravencroft) and Aleksei (who also retrieves his armor) out of prison to go storm OsCorp for the one purpose of killing Spider-Man.
Spider-Man arrives with the police, who begin to shut down all of the projects in the division. Vulture (Drago) shows up and begins killing a large number of police officers. Spider-Man attempts to subdue him in the tower but Vulture flies out the window. Spider-Man wraps his webs around his wings and this forces Vulture to crash back onto the first floor and through the window in Octavius' lab. Octavius is trying to shut down the experiment (he murmurs about how the police would just shut it down without any regard for anyone's personal safety) as Vulture and Spider-Man crash around. Otto is trying to concentrate as the two fight and he pleads Spider-Man to leave. Spider-Man, however, is brought back down by Drago and Spider-Man rips the stablizer for the nuclear fusion reactor out of the wall. Otto begins to lose control and he is forced to his back to the flames as his arms try to protect him. Spider-Man realizes that he had done something terribly wrong. He kicks Vulture through the window and picks up Otto as the fusion reactor is about to explode. He manages to leap out of the building before the explosion sounds. Spider-Man murmurs how happy he is that it wasn't a bigger explosion before another one goes off. Spider-Man curses but it turns out it is Green Goblin who shows up.
Spider-Man becomes furious and rips Harry off the glider. He punches him in the face many, many times, causing him to bleed. However, before Peter can really lose it, he is blasted off his feet Mysterio, who used his repulsor blast. Spider-Man's spider sense goes off again and he leaps just in time for Electro to blast the ground. He turns around in mid-air and sees RHINO barreling through the street, destroying cop cars and the like. Spider-Man pulls himself to the ground and rips the fire hydrant off and begins directing the water towards Electro. Electro zips across and lands a bolt across Spider-Man's chest. Spider-Man goes flying into a nearby car. Goblin zips by and grabs Spider-Man by the throat. Peter decides to take the fight to the air, eliminating two potential threats from what he has to deal with. Spider-Man kicks the glider downward, forcing the glider to climb into the air. Peter, then, grabs Harry by his hair and throws him onto the top of the OsCorp Tower. Spider-Man, then, grabs the glider with his webs and flings it into Electro. The glider carries him all the way to the Hudson River and a massive explosion sounds off the coast of Manhattan. He, then, lands on the OsCorp Tower and proceeds to beat Harry. However, Peter's spider sense goes off and he dodges as Mysterio uses his repulsor blast. It zooms into Harry's chest, knocking him out.
Mysterio summons a whip that wraps around Spider-Man and brings him close. Mysterio states that Spider-Man will never again deny him the fame of being the one who kills the web slinger. Mysterio throws the whip around and Spider-Man begins to fall to the ground. Spider-Man pulls himself through a window and begins running out the other side. He, then, runs down the building towards RHINO, who was circling the building the whole time. Bullets run up the building as Spider-Man runs down it. Mysterio flies down the building and blasts at Spider-Man. Spider-Man leaps off the building and the repulsor blasts follow him until he lands on the RHINO armor. One last repulsor blast lands on the neckline of the RHINO head and it almost separates. Mysterio holds his fire but use his power to fly closer to Spider-Man. Spider-Man, with his strength, then rips the head completely off the suit and pulls Aleksei out. Spider-Man punches him and then webs him up as he lands on the ground, padded.
Spider-Man leaps again as Mysterio blasts the RHINO armor, which blows up. Spider-Man lands two blocks down as the explosion blew him down the street. Spider-Man then produces a web that blinds him, only using his spider sense to see whether things are dangerous. Trains and airplanes divebomb Spider-Man, as he just stands there. Mysterio, realizing that Spider-Man is wise to his act, begins blasting him again. Spider-Man leaps off the ground and uses the hood of a car to fling into Mysterio. Mysterio lands, hard, on the ground, breaking his fishbowl. Peter lands and punches Mysterio into unconsciousness. At the Daily Bugle, everyone celebrates as J. Jonah Jameson claims that Spider-Man must really be behind everything that went wrong at OsCorp. Doctor Otto Octavius is rolled away in an ambulance as the rest of the five are brought back to Ravencroft. After a voiceover by the Daily Bugle news reporter stating that the threat of OsCorp had finally ended, Peter visits the grave of Gwen Stacy. He kneels down and kisses her headstone as he lays fresh flowers. In a cheesy fashion, Peter talks to Gwen about how he needs to finally move on and that he can't just continue to mourn her. Peter says that he will always love her but that it is time for him to be happy and he will find a way to be happy with the pain that he has had to endure with his life.
We, finally, cut to May Parker asking if Peter is sure about this. Peter says that he is sure. May says that she is so proud of Peter, no matter what happens. The doorbell rings and Peter goes to answer it. At the door stands Mary Jane Watson. Peter is shocked at how great she looks. Mary Jane simply says, "Face it, tiger. You just hit the jackpot."
And that is where I would like to see
The Amazing Spider-Man 3 "end". With one quick after credits scene we are able to see Otto looking at the television scene replaying the news footage of Spider-Man fighting the five supervillains and we see Otto begin to smile as the arms begin to move around him as well. Following that, that would be the end of
The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Of course, it probably won't play out this way but this would definitely be the way that I would do it. Anyway, share your thoughts (courtesly) below on what you think of this fan fic. Do you think it is a good idea? Did I juggle the multiple villains alright? Make sure to leave your thoughts below! As always thanks for reading and I will see you guys later.
