Are Miles Morales ("Ultimate Spider-Man"), Ben Reilly (clone Spider-Man) or Miguel O'Hara ("Spider-Man 2099") on the table? If you want a Spider-Man movie every year why not bring in some of the other variations?
Tolmach: No.
Arad: No. The one thing you cannot do, when you have a phenomena that has stood the test of time, you have to be true to the real character inside – who is Peter Parker? What are the biggest effects on his life? Then you can draw in time, and you can consider today's world in many ways. But to have multiple ones… I don't know if you remember, but Marvel tried it. And it was almost the end of Spider-Man.

After the disappointing The Amazing Spider-Man 2, I don't see why you don't check out other options.
ReplyDeleteGah so disappointing especially after Andrew Garfield spoke about the importance of Miles and how great it would be to have him in the movies. I wish Marvel Studios had the rights to the character.
ReplyDeletespiderman 2099 would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the day when the people in Hollywood are bold storytellers who are willing to take chances on characters and stories that hold potential. Until that day, I'm going to sit here in disappointment.
ReplyDeleteyeah...after the last two shitty as hell installments there's like literally no chance they should keep going the direction they currently do.
ReplyDeleteDrop the teen romance focus (this isn't theCW), drop Garfield...no not the fat cat (that one's actually capable to act) and write your protagonist more likable.
Peter Parker is supposed to be a loner, a social outcast. Not a cool hipster with an emo complex and a douchy attitude towards literally everyone.
I wouldn't mind Spiderman 2099 at all though
but seriously, we went from a good start with Raimi to a fantastic second part, to a subpar third one to two completely shitty teen trash flicks that rather cash in on their actors popularity than the franchise they're supposed to represent -,-
say about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine what you will ('too tall' etc) but at least there's still a sense for what X-Men is with the X franchise.
IMO even X-Men Origins was better than both TAS flicks -,-
The "loner, social outcast" Peter Parker hasn't been true since the '70s (outside of the Raimi movies). Almost every iteration of Peter since then has had him as a sociable nerd who's a little bit cocky (and extremely cocky once he puts on his costume).
ReplyDeleteThis is said by the Raimi fan that never read a comic. Raimi's Peter was anything but true to comics.
ReplyDeleteGardfield is an awesome Peter Parker. And Raimi's films were shit in the fans of the comics...
You can like the old ones the most but never said again they're more true to the source.
The cockiness is EXCLUSIVE to the ultimate universe. Outside of that scenes like the burglar scene in TAS would have never happened.
ReplyDeleteGrab the comics onwards from One More Day and see your statement fall appart
despite how much one more day sucked it created a new breed of Parkers attitude from lovable but anti socia geek to a broody and kind of moody loner.
ReplyDeleteThe cockiness never came to be
said the raging Webb fan ?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but sprew that bs anywhere else. Claiming that Garfields performance or the way he is written is ANYWHERE close to any comic incarnation isn't just a bad rumor but an outright lie
Shush.

ReplyDeleteThe cartoon version from the '90s still featured all the cockiness, and it didn't take place in the Ultimate universe. I've also been told that the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon was the same way.
