Why "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has to be the new "Spider-Man 2"?

He has a chance to do it but one of the main attractions of SM2 was the inclusion of Doc Ock. Doc Ock is spider mans arch nemesis IMO. When they started making Spiderman movies he was the one I was looking forward to seeing the most and they didn’t disappoint. That movie still has one of the best fight scenes in comic book movie history. Im glad that they aren’t repeating the villain because peter has arguably the greatest rogue gallery in comics (Batman also) but that was part of the charm.

Think about it we’ve seen: Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Sandman, Venom, Goblin Jr, Lizard and will see Electro and Rhino. They have yet to use: Carnage, Vulture, Hobgoblin, Mysterio, Black Cat, Chameleon, Kraven, Morbius, Scorpion, Shocker, Grey Gargoyle, Hammerhead, Kingpin etc. He can make 20 movies and not have the same villain twice.

I liked SM2, but the first film was the best one in my mind. It's tied with Iron Man and Avengers for my favorite CBM ever.

Spider-man needs to get a thrill out of saving people, that's what it boils down to. Which is exactly why him unintentionally killing Gwen should have a huge impact, because he did it to save her. Spider-man killed her.

Spider-Man lost his powers due to stress. When you get too stressed, your body shuts down. That's how and why he lost his powers. It's a real medical condition.

Comes in handy.. A superhero that looses he's powers during stress.. ? Oh yeah, Way to go, Spider-man 2

On the losing his powers issue in Spider-man 2 (it's not an issue, people just want something to "complain" about)....

I'm a pretty even-tempered kind of guy. I work as an assistant manager at McDonald's. I'm the guy who handles the customer complaints directly, and is expected to smile, apologize, and replace the order in no time flat. Ok.

So based on real life experience, I have an incident, break an ankle, and I'm in a 8/10 amount of pain, and operating on adrenaline. I'm a peach though, really. Like they'd probably never seen a guy come in with a broken ankle who was so polite.

But that's because I was channeling my frustration and pain. And sure enough, as soon as they painfully set my ankle into a splint and send me home - I start breathing normally. Normally, meaning, I turn into this huge asshole, don't want to be around anyone, and pass out.

So taking that into account - how does Peter handle the stress and pain? He can't tell anyone he's Spider-man, especially with his best friend thinking he'd have killed his father... and being Spider-man is alienating EVERYONE in his life. He even tries taking pictures of something else because he just DOESN'T want to be Spider-man all the time. Then BOOM. Harry slaps him around drunk, his Aunt is ashamed at his confession, MJ not only told him how much a disappointment he was - but also had a big announcement made that she was getting married to some other guy. And he had to take a picture of it.

That's when the kid gloves come off, and he'd start acting like a dick, unable to take it all anymore. Except his brain and body focused the stress into the single idea that Spider-man was the one doing this, and by that, his powers. They were the reason he was at the wrestling match, the reason why Norman accidentally killed himself, the reason why his grades have been steadily falling, the reason why he has no social life, the reason why he can't catch a break.

His body said: "Spider-man, go to sleep."

It's that simple.
-

As for it not contributing anything.... how did we arrive at that conclusion? It's the big shutdown. It's like someone's wife leaving her husband because he's never there. It's past the point of being an ultimatum - he now HAS to do something about it, no choice involved.

"tasm is one of the better marvel movies by far"

you keep telling yourself that every night before you go to bed,i couldn't say that because i would be lying.

I think Gwen dying would be the perfect reason for Peter to hang up the red and blue

"Yeah, the director. Sam Raimi made the Spider-Man that we all wanted to see "

What??? That's just not true...his Spiderman movies were decent but there were a lot of problems story wise etc.

As for the pic...I think it will be just fast scene [like a tribute] which will last less than a minute...and not 5 minute long train stop. [still train fight is one of the best superhero fight scenes]

TASM>Spiderman=Spiderman2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Spiderman3

TASM uses the comics WAY more. They had conners actually become the lizard, they had peter use web shooters, they had gwen as the girl. Which one of these did the original use? Also spiderman losing his powers? Great movie but don't say it stuck more to the comics. Also TASM was a good movie, this one has potential to be great. The first one made more than MOS has in a year were we where almost comic movied out (With the Avengers AND TDKR).

Well,It's my opinion. Thanks a lot for reading this, cause it was my first text.
I was reading the comments, and there we go :
Nobody agree , that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was so much better than the skateboarder Peter ? And what you tell me about the "Scientist Gwen" ? That things are in comics ? I Know people has many different opinions, and i respect that, Spider-Man TO MEE was the "perfect" Spider-Man movie, and i wanted to tell this, tell my worry about TASM 2 not be an good movie.

Again, Thanks for reading this.

Damn, ever TASM hit, Levi's crossed over to the dark side
