In recent weeks, I continuously see comments aimed at how awful the Spider-man reboot will be (Or at least, people have lost a great deal of interest or faith in the project). I suppose Sony is to blame.
But Sony aside, we have Marc Webb. The man who is expected to helm this wall crawlers story, and give us a brand new take on not only the web slinger himself, but his unmasked form: Peter Parker.
It seems we may not hear a great deal of news for a long time (Falling into the category of movies we never hear much news about). But for now, lets piece together what we know so far, what many fans have speculated on, and what you guys would like to see.
Its no doubt, that the different route that Webb may go for is The Ultimate route. Its fresh, different, darker. But at the same time, we still getting given the wise cracking kid that has a harsh bunch of high school years, and later discovers a power beyond anything. Webb himself has said that it will focus on his school years, rather than Raimi's jump to adult life in between only two movies.
As for costumes, what could be done different? With something like X-men, a countless amount of different attires could've been chosen. From blue and X printed jerseys, to Wolverines yellow spandex. But with Spidey, his costume hasn't changed a great deal over the years. Trust me I think its a brilliant costume, but there isn't really anywhere to go further than what Raimi did. Any suggestions?
Now onto Villains. Someone very smart once mentioned in a comment, that the smart decision is to follow Nolan's route: Not introducing the characters main villain in the first movie, instead developing it for the sequel. What Raimi did with Green Goblin was good, but do we really want to have the Goblin all over again...right away? Electro or Lizard seems to be the fan favorite, but even baddies like this require some origin. Thoughts?
