First off, I would just like to say this is my first article I've ever written, so as you can imagine there may be some errors from time to time, I'm also not the best writer(hoping to improve that).
To start off I should probably say that I enjoyed the Amazing Spiderman 2, yes it had some glaring problems but it had some fantastic scenes in it as well, and with that cliffhanger at the end, OMG! needles to say I'm absolutely pumped for the sinister six movie. Some may be puzzled at this statment, thinking I'm an idiot, how could I possibly be excited for this cashgrab, especially since there is a star wars spinoff, x men: Apocalypse, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad all in the same year. The answer to that question my friends is pure nostalgia for Spiderman lore. I love spiderman to death, and I want to see every inch of his lore expanded and explored. Also, I don't believe this is entirely a Sinister Six film, I believe that it was intended to be Amazing Spiderman 3 but pulled too much focus on the sinister six, so they were scared of the audience being pissed off for paying to see a spiderman movie and instead get a drama between Dock ock and Green goblin. As far as sonys crappy marketing goes, this seems to be a smart move, and with the addition of Drew Goddard both writing and Directing this might be the best spiderman movie ever! regardless of what you think of Amazing spiderman 2. Now, yet again another bold statement, but hear me out. Drew Goddard is an amazing writer, his likeness of Joss Whedon is something that this movie needs desperately, especially if Spiderman is going to be featured heavily.
One of the problems I have with the spiderman movies is not enough quick witted, loud mouth spiderman. The closest we have ever gotten to this spiderman was in Amazing Spiderman 2, and at this pace we will never get a full on 24/7 talking spiderman, but with Drew Goddard, who is seemingly a very big fan of marvel comics, he can really bring Spidey to life with his writing skills. This is especially true considering he will have six villains to have banter with, which is just entertaining on its own without good dialogue. Also, did you guys see Cabin in the woods? Pretty awesome flick in my opinion. Another thing to add is that you guys should be excited for this movie and hope for success, because unless marvel can work out a deal with Sony, we won't be seeing Spiderman join the MCU, meaning we never get a good spiderman movie for the rest of our lives(assuming all the sony ones are shit). Its a depressing notion, so why wouldn't we all just be cautiously optomistic? I know theres many answers to that,but this movie has potential to blow minds, and dare I say it, could possibly be the best superhero movie of 2016. Now obviously the likelihood of that being the case is not that big, even with spiderman fanatics what with big guns such as Batman V Superman popping up.
Drew Goddard can rectify the "mistakes" that sony has committed and really bring forth an epic spiderman experience. I hear people say they are done with spiderman now- over two movies?! X men has repeatedly bastardized the source material and at one point gave us disappointment after disappointment: X men 3: The last stand, X men Origins: Wolverine, X men: first class( was okay, matthew vaughn's directing made it better), and The Wolverine.But, it was all saved from X men: Days of future Past(which I personally didn't like), so I mean, where is the hesitation for the Amazing series? Amazing Spiderman 2 did not do anything as bad as X men origins, yet this movie is already seemingly doomed from fan approval. Give it a chance, just imagine Spiderman fighting the sinister six while making quips and witty retorks as the six gets frustrated. This franchise just barely started, and for the people complaining that Amazing spiderman 2 sets up sinister six too much, well, don't let Amazing Spiderman 2 "die in vein", give the Sinister six a chance, theres not harm in doing so.
As a sort of passing note, I apologize if my writing was horrid at times and if I didn't get my point across well, I'm just here to discuss and get feedback like a good little fanboy. Once again, I want to hear your feedback guys, and give your opinion on the sinister six and the whole series in general. Also, I would proof read my article, but I'm super tired and I'm giddy like a school girl to get my first article out.
