Remember when, long ago, we were all excited. Excited that one of our favorite superheroes, was finally, after all the trials and tribulations, false starts, and shattered dreams was coming to the big screen. Then remember when things started to leak out, Toby Maguire is who. What the hell do you mean no web shooters? A genetically engineered spider are you kidding me, But you know what, it came out and it was pretty good and it made a lot of money for Sony. Then came Spider-Man 2, bigger and better in every way then the first. You have to admit it, the train fight scene is still one of the best CMB action scenes ever filmed (or drawn, I don't think you film cgi). Now these two movies were great. I for one enjoyed them a lot. Sure Toby was a lame Peter Parker and Mary Jane has a snaggle tooth. Who would have even thought that if one of those other 14 "super spiders" would have bitten someone else there would have been another Spiderman and hey for the record where does old Toby store his limitless amount of silk, but whatever, spider man was on the screen and it was great.
Now lets move on to the debacle that was Spider-Man 3, or was it. Now don't start the hate to soon. Yes I agree with 99.99% of you that it was the weakest of the bunch. Weakest being a tremendous understatement, but was it really that bad when compared to the others. Now here me out. If you take out the dancing, the singing, and venom. it was a solid movie and I will stand by that opinion and if you think about it real hard you know I'm right. Well none the less, studio executives know what they are doing cause you know what, it had the biggest box office of them all. $890,871,626.00 world wide to be exact. So why would they not put their dirty hands on the script and do what the hell they want. You guys have to remember were are the minority when it comes to these movies. they don't care about what we think, they care about asses in seats bottom line. So when Avi tells them Venom will do this they listen. It does not matter that Sam Rami thinks it will clutter his film, shoot the scenes director boy we got money to make.
well I'll Venom speak for himself
Well, know we all know that Spider-Man 4 has been scrapped. Some are happy, some are sad. I personally think its a blessing in disguise. The old movies were great for their time, but the times they are a changing. Iron man and The Incredible Hulk showed us just how good marvel movies can be. So now here is what Sony has to do, short of giving Marvel back the rights, to make everyone happy.
I like the whole going back to high school thing. You know something reboot the whole dam thing. Do the origin the right way no more "engineered super spiders", one spider, one radioactive ray, one bite, one dead spider, nuff said. Have Pete invent those web shooters. The kid is supposed to be a genius. One of the main plot points is that he can always run out of webbing and webbing costs money. How does he get money, why he gets a job. Now a lot of people are not going to like this but the whole photographer for the DB is really out dated, and buy the way how many 15 year old kids are working photographer's anyway. If he's in high school let him be in high school. Let him get a job at Best Buy or Radio Shack or go Ultimate and work in a fast food store. Save the DB for later movies.
Now, Sony is in the money making business and they want to keep the franchise alive. So how do they do it? They take the Harry Potter route of course. No Pete's not going to Hogwarts, but I do like the whole idea of one movie being a year in the life aspect. You may not like the Potter movies, but you have to admit they have made a boat load of money $4,545,426,613.00 to be exact and there's still 2 more coming. These books made the perfect transition to the screen because there was something for everyone, and also you were able to see these kids grow up right before your eyes. It did not matter that they were getting older, that was the point. It was a journey of life experiences.
Now that being said, the same approach can work for the old web head. Technically speaking Peter got bit when he was 15 years old. Now that makes him what a 9th or 10th grader. Now if you go the "Potter " route, you can make at least 6 movies and the character should be around 25 and so should the actor. Yeah I know my math is off but it does not only have to be 1 year per movie. You get to see the character grow up, go out with Gwen. lose Gwen. Go out with MJ then Black Cat then back to MJ. Then Marry MJ. You get what I'm saying. This all happens naturally its not rushed and Sony can back up the garbage trucks to collect the money. They get what they want and we get what we want, a lot of good Spidey stories on the big screen.
Now here comes the part where i do a fan cast to further annoy you good people. Its not easy to find a lot of 17 year old actors so I went with and age limit of 22 for certain ones
Peter Parker/ Spiderman
Chris Massoglia
Gwen Stacy
Mia Wasikowska
Harry Osbourne
Nate Hartley
Mary Jane Watson
With the very expensive special effect of hair dye
Hayden Panettiere
I still need the older cast and a good Flash Tompson, but I think its a good start. What do you guys think?
And ohh just because i always hated the blue and red, maybe the real Black costume will get to make a showing
