The Amazing Spider-Man Inspirations from "The Spectacular Spider-Man".

[GamerSlyRatchet]

As we have seen throughout the three films, there have been aspects from the 90's animated show that made their way to them (Norman Osborn having a split-personality disorder, Dr. Octavious being a mentor figure to Peter, most of the symbiote saga) and even a couple of shots recreated from the show (like the upside-down Symbiote Spidey).

But now that the new show "The Spectacular Spider-Man" has proven to be popular with fans and critics alike, are there any aspects, characterizations, story lines, etc., that anyone would like to see Raimi try on the next films?

The first thing that comes to my mind is making Tombstone a mob boss.

 

[Reikowolf]

The second that came to mind was Felicia Harding being the Uncle Ben's killer's daughter. When it was announced that Papajohn would return.

On that note. I really enjoyed how SSM handled the symbiote. They took elements of SM3 and USM and then slowly melded it with concepts from ASM comic book.

I do not like that show.

- Him and Gwen could be good pals I could see that.

- If Lizard is the villain I'd set more of a personal attachment between Connors and Parker like they did in the show.

- Tombstone being a mob boss. Black Cat pulling off heists all because she wants to get her father out of prison.

-Hammerhead and Silvermane and other mobsters trying to take siege of New York with gangland violence but also relying on superpowered villains to achieve that goal.

- Peter/Spider-Man being more of a wiseass.

If Lizard is the villain, which I hope he is, I want him to be the ferocious mindless monster he was in the cartoon. Everything about that Lizard was great, for me.

- Tombstone being a mob boss. Black Cat pulling off heists all because she wants to get her father out of prison.

-Hammerhead and Silvermane and other mobsters trying to take siege of New York with gangland violence but also relying on superpowered villains to achieve that goal.

I like the idea of including Tombstone and Hammerhead. It`d go for a different setting.
Tombstone financing new villains for future movies, like Rhino and Shocker, would be great.

- Peter/Spider-Man being more of a wiseass.

Certainly. I think everyone wants that.

 

[Rodrigo90]

All those wishes...not gonna happen,unless a reboot.

 

[GoldGoblin]

-If they make the Lizard episode into a movie.

-If they would balance screen time between Peter and Spidey,so we see equal amount of time for both characters.And Peter's screen time isn't hogged up by MJ.

-Jokes like each episode does.

-Leave the cheesy stuff out like how this show does.

I'm against this idea with a passion. A damn-near 50 year old property should not be copying from a damn cartoon show, especially one meant for children. Draw from the comics, if anything, I'd like to see elements from the comic books to be made more complex, as if there isn't just toddlers in the audience.

Have you seen the show?

 

[Sloth7d]

Certainly. I think everyone wants that.

Nope, not me. i think Spider-man's quipping is at a balanced level as is, anymore would be distracting and out of place should he be in similar the situations he was in during the last movies.

Have you seen the show?

Yes, and my words still stand. Is Spider-Man source material so weak to you all, that he has to gravitate towards kids cartoon shows for ideas?

 

[Alex The Great]

I do not like that show.

He's a ****ing Teenager!

And you know, their parents died in a plain cash and their practically brothers. Brothers call each other that, in case you didn't know.

The show is very good (and probably actually too complex for kids to fully understand). It's just one more place for some indpiration to come from. And you make it seem like the show doesn't follow comics at all. There are definitely more sources. This show is just one. Adding elements from the show could also add to the appeal of the movie in much the same way adding elements of the movie into the show does.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I do not like that show.

Meh, to each his own. I find The SPectacular Spider-Man to be the greatest superhero aniamted series ever.

Even better than the 90s Batman:tas?

 

[SpeterMan3]

Answering for myself, it's at least on par.

 

[Sloth7d]

Even saying it's on par is music to my ears in comparison to the majority of fans who believe that show, Batman:tas, is the GOD of super hero animated series. While it is good I wouldn't put it on that ridiculous a pedalstool. There are a couple of SH series that are easily on par.

The show is hokey, few sparks here and there. But nothing to set Spider-Man apart from Ben 10. If I can manage not to vomit from looking at the character designs, I'd put that Doc Ock and Green Goblin over my knee and spank their little hiney. Seriously, how old is that Doc Ock, he looks like a fat 16 year old kid who sounds 13...and Aunt May looks 22. I'd even settle for character designs and animation that looks like Avatar: The Last Air-Bender, but written for older teens.

I don't know, I'm glad you all enjoy the show, it's gonna take a few years down the line from visionary writers and animator to pick Spider-Man up and want to finally set him apart from what's being done by every other network.

If I survive that long to see it.

 

[SpeterMan3]

At first I didn't really like the animation or voices, but I got use dto it and I really enjoy the show now and I do feel it is really great. I see where you're coming from, though.

 

[The Squirrel]

I'm just saying, the show has more maturity than the entire 3rd movie.

 

[Dr.Dude]

I think the one thing I'd like to see them take from the show--in both the comics and a potential movie--is the depiction of Tombstone, as others have said above.

Tombstone was always a villain with a great deal of potential that he never lived up to but the way he was recreated into a Kingpin-esque figure for Spectacular is similar to the way that Batman: The Animated Series revitalized Mr. Freeze. It's crazy to realize that because of it, I don't think many would object (or even be exceptionally surprised!) if Tombstone was announced as a villain in SM4, whereas just a year or so ago there would have been a huge ruckus over it.

So you're basing your enjoyment of the series solely on the artwork and designs? Did you even pay attention to the show's writing and characterization?

Doc Ock, for the first time, is portrayed as an evil criminal mastermind like in the comics, not some cheesy mad scientist, servant for the Kingpin, or someone with mere flirtations with evil. And the Green Goblin is possibly the closest we'll ever see from the comics as far as interpretations go. Also, what's wrong with not having Aunt May go around as a walking cadaver?

Plus, the designs were used to provide smooth and fluid animation for an action Spider-Man show. As much as I love Avatar: The Last Airbender, even the animation there lagged a few times. I remember when people complained about Timm's shows having "simplistic" designs, and assumed the shows sucked.

Anyways, I agree with others about the interpretations for the Lizard and Tombstone. Those could be used rather well in an live-action movie. In addition, I would like Captain Stacy and his relationship with Spidey to be portrayed closer to it. Electro's version in the show would also work well. A realistic costume with some pathos: perfect for the Raimi movies!

Not enough to differentiate him from his Peter Parker self.
Being a wise ass all the time while fighting is one of his main characteristics. Spidey in the movie isn't the Spidey from the comics, it's Peter Parker in a suit.
The Spectacular Spidey does the quips and it doesn't seem stupid, silly or out of place. It doesn't distract from the action. As seen in the comics, it prevents him from panicking. It is properly and well used.
It can be done in the movies.
