The Amazing Spider-Man a realistic new york this time

[Mike]

I don't want people cheering for spider-man. That's one thing about the raimi movies I couldn't stand. New york citizens opinions on spidey is mixed. Jjj isn't the only guy who doesn't like him.

 

[chaseter]

Their opinions were mixed on Spidey in 1 and 2. Do you not remember the montage of real New Yorkers saying what they thought of Spidey? Only in 3 did they go overboard with the NYC loves Spidey stuff.

 

[Spider-Who?]

did you forget the "you mess with spidey, you mess with new york!" scene?

 

[chaseter]

They loved and hated him in SM1 and SM2...like I already said. I was clarifying to the thread starter that he was wrong. I never said that they didn't love Spidey. Their opinions were mixed in SM1 and SM2 but I concede SM3.

Did you want people throwing **** at Spider-Man while those kids dangled over the water?

 

[The Joker]

There was no negativity towards Spidey in Spider-Man 2 from the New Yorkers, apart from Jonah, of course.

Yes there was. People were upset that Spidey wasn't around to stop crime. The only times they revered him was when he was saving people...which is what happens. Nobody gets angry at someone saving a kid from a fire.

Where were we shown anyone being upset that Spidey was gone? Oh wait, little Henry Jackson, and Violin Lady sang a song about it

Ugh. Some people liked him, some people didn't. Do I need to send a bumper sticker to you? Who cares anyways...in the comics Spidey was revered by New York at one point.

There were times when everyone loved him and there were times when nearly everyone hated him in the comics.

This is once again a 'I want the movie this way' thread.

 

[Oscorp]

Even though there were both good and bad, the overall feeling throughout the trilogy was that Spidey was loved by the people. Mostly due to all those "You mess with..." scenes and the parade.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Ugh. Some people liked him, some people didn't.

I'm still curious as to your proof

 

[Alex The Great]

Watch that scene in Spider-Man 1 with the montage of New Yorkers talking about Spider-Man. Some hate him (The "He stinks, and I don't like him!" ), some like him. Some are ambivalent.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

for sm2...not 1...

 

[ModestMr.Green]

Honestly, in a real city, the reaction may not be like Spidey 3, but it would probably be like Kick-Ass.

 

[NinjaCarm]

The people making the reboot right now better listen to this advice from John Romita Sr


At the 3:30 mark. One of the things I hated was seeing Spider-Man standing around, and let's not forget de-maskinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-duAMiZ3Mg&playnext=1&list=PLE57A1053F636B757&index=1

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Shot by Wally Pfister am I rite????

 

[marvelrobbins]

I am glad I am not the only one who disliked all the cheering and worship of Spider-Man.
That Is not the world most Spider-Man fans knew when they read the comics.

 

[Chris Wallace]

There was no negativity towards Spidey in Spider-Man 2 from the New Yorkers, apart from Jonah, of course.

"He stole that guy's pizzas!!!!" Didn't even give him the benefit of the doubt, just automatically assumed the worst.

And you wanna talk realism? It's kinda unrealistic that the citizenry at large wouldn't embrace a man who they know for a fact saved a tram full of innocent children, as well as a runaway train, AND shut down an out-of-control nuclear reactor, AND plucked a falling girl out of mid-air, all single-handedly and all at great personal risk. Saving lives trumps bad press. And the way I see it, the public adoration was to give him a place to fall from once the events of 3 set in motion.

 

[The Joker]

"He stole that guy's pizzas!!!!"

Comedy line.

 

[chaseter]

I'm still curious as to your proof

You think JJJ would still be in business if no one bought a paper with him smearing Spider-Man every issue?


In a real city there would be no man with spider powers or a guy that can turn into sand or a guy with 4 metal arms attached to his spine.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

did you forget the "you mess with spidey, you mess with new york!" scene?

man, i hated that scene. makes me cringe every time i see it

 

[mre]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only time a citizen said they hated Spidey was that guy from SM1 who said "He stinks and I don't like him"
Everyone else loved him in all 3 flicks.

 

[Dragon]

Okay. Let's also remember that in a "real" city, people aren't that stupid. When they see that Spidey is breaking his ass to save them, they aren't going to boo him. That might tend to discourage him from saving them the next time. Also, this guy is superhuman. People would be afraid to piss him off. Sure, maybe amongst themselves they may say they don't trust him, or even fear him. But in the moments presented in the films, it simply wasn't appropriate that people would be voicing dislike of him.

And Jesus- we're shown in the movies that regardless of public love or hate, his life still sucks, so the main point that despite his good intentions his life is hell is covered. Some of the concepts presented in the comics were taken too far. Such as the thing with Aunt May. I can certainly understand her fearing Spidey. But when they'd have her acting like a ***** toward him even when he'd be saving her life, while being friendly toward a known criminal like Ock, it only made her look like an idiot. I'd see this and think "Okay, let that that ***** fall to her death".

 

[Alex The Great]

Well, there was that cop in that montage he was like "he's wacky" or some New York phrase. I don't know if that counts

 

[Sentinel X]

I feel like people are making a big deal out of nothing. It was handled well in SM1 and SM2...you got the point that people had mixed feelings about him. I really don't know what more you all want. Do we literally need to see some people shouting "I HATE YOU SPIDEY!!!!!" to understand this? Its pretty pointless imo. Not to mention that is what J Jonah is there for because at the end of the day his papers get sold out! So there are obviously some people who believe his lies and hate spider-man too.

 

[Mike]

I should have been more detailed about how the new yorkers should be. Let's be honest the only time I really seen people have a mixed reaction with spidey was in the first movie.but overall Everybody basiclly loved him in the last three movies. When it comes to peoples reactions to a masked hero kick ass got it right. I just hate the cheesy one liners raimi had the citizens say. Go spidey go. You mess with one of us you mess with all of us. And wicked coooool? And no more poseing by an american flag. Why was that necessary?
