Amazing Spider-man Teaser Impresssions

Amazing Spider-man Teaser Impresssions

My thoughts on the teaser trailer and what it says about the re-imaginied Spider-man.

Editorial Opinion

Main points:

The teaser emphasized the difference from the Raimi trilogy.

It's interesting that they're going deeper into Peter's history and showing the story of his parents.

I still don't think it's a good idea to re-tell the origin.

Despite the teaser's serious tone, I still hope the movie will capture the humor of Spider-man in a way the previous movies never really managed to.

@ BIGBMH: Nice, you make some good points.
Regarding the origin, many people feel it should be "skipped" but this is a new telling of the story with new actors so it has to be redone, there is no way around it, Peter's journey through the experience is key to the character's story. Trust me if they skipped it or cheaped out on it, it would not work.

Regarding the humour, I am a fan of Spidey's one-liners and wisecracks as much as anyone, but I wonder if they work better in comic or animated form than in live-action? Would a guy in what are usually pretty serious life or death fights be making jokes? (other than to manipulate and anger his enemy, I know). I'm reminded of a scene from the Spectacular animated series when the black suit took over and took Peter out to do some ass-kicking, and Ock commented that he knew he was serious about the fight because he wasn't cracking his usual jokes. Something to think about.

I think the best way to go about it is to take a lesson from the ultimate universe, peter joked around because it was a way for him to cope with the insanity going around him, it was his second nature to make wise cracks and it was also a fighting technique he used to make sure the he drew the attention onto him, and away from civilians, it was implemented best that way in my opinion,

Although I do love dan slotts way of going about things to, it really makes him seem a bit cockier and more experienced, while aggravating his enemies making them angry and lose sight of the smaller things.

@Spider-fan35, I get your point, but I think The Incredible Hulk did a good job of making you feel like you didn't miss much. That movie's prior origin story wasn't nearly as well known or well received,

@ BIGBMH: Yeaaahhh, but TIH was presented more as a sequel that just happened to have new actors and everything looking completely different. TAS is a complete re-boot going back to the beginning.
I see your point that it could possibly be done without the origin but don't you think it would be weird if the movie just opened with Garfield swinging around? And if they are trying to show the Lizard and Peter becoming what they are together would that mean no Lizard origin either or does he become the Lizard while Spidey is hanging around waiting? I guess I look at it from the perspective that every new version, be it Ultimate comics or another new animated series, starts with the origin to make you feel like you are taking the journey from the start even though you already know the basic premise.
Anyway, obviously it's in the movie so I win (just kidding). I enjoy the debate, keep up the good work.

I guess the Spectacular Spider-man series started with him having become Spidey very recently so they might have gotten away with that. But it's a movie and I'm sure the creative team and director etc wanted to do an origin for their take on the story blah blah.
OK I change my mind the origin is unnecessary lol.
