The Amazing Spider-Man More details on the Spider-Man 4 script....

[Marvel Spider]

It sounded pretty bad. It's from IMDB, but the user actually goes into detail about what occured in the script.

Ok, I will give some details about it...

- It takes place about five years after Spider-Man 3.

- Peter and Mary Jane has married ever since and has a kid. Yeah, that made me puke a little already and that was just the begining.

- J. Jonah Jameson retires and is replaced by Adrian Toomes as the head of the Daily Bugle.

- The Vulture is the only villain. Vulturess must have been written out or something...

- The Vulture would have been totally different from the comics, Adrian Toomes creates a giant suit with a likeness to a Vulture that he has the ability to control with his mind. Yeah, corny much?

- Felicia Hardy is in the film, but only as Felicia. There are hints throughout the film though that eventually she would become the Black Cat.

- Dr. Curt Connors has a larger role because there are many scenes where Peter and Felicia are in his class.

- Peter starts to realize he does not love Mary Jane anymore (some superhero...) and ultimately starts cheating on her with Felicia.

- At the end of the film, Adrian Toomes is killed by Spidey and Peter later learns that Toomes was Felicia's god father.

- Felicia grows a hatred towards Spider-Man and Peter feels guilty.

- J. Jonah Jameson just randomly pops back up in the Daily Bugle like he never was gone in the first place.

- The end shows Mary Jane leaving with the baby somewhere unknown and Peter throws out his Spider-Man suit.

It also has a very cheesy part with Peter bringing his baby to the zoo...

If this is true, I'm glad Raimi walked. This sounded terrible. I'm glad Raimi stood up for himself and said "No way".

 

[Rodrigo90]

Sounded awesome

 

[Doctor Jones]

That sounded bad. If it's true we can now understand all the rewrites and different writers. I'd rather have this potentially good reboot than a fourth film like that.

 

[Marvel Spider]

What I don't get is that it says Spidey KILLED the Vulture. That doesn't make any sense, and goes against the character completely.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I know I was getting sick of the villains turning good at the last minute and getting themselves killed,but Spidey murdering the Vulture?

I will have actually lost a lot of love for Raimi's movies if that plot is true.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

this can't be humanly possible...

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. If this is actually what it was going to be, then i defentiely think it was going to be Sonys' fault.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Cheats on MJ??? Felicia and Parker still in Connor's class five years after SM3? I guess the cheating on MJ thingy was the only way to keep that relationship on high wire. As far as SM4 being the last film, I don't know if they actually thought about ending the series like this. Maybe they would have done a Lizard/BC movie in SM5, but this script was atrocious.

 

[Marvel Spider]

^^ Agreed. If this is actually what it was going to be, then i defentiely think it was going to be Sonys' fault.

Which makes me even more worried about the reboot...

 

[Rodrigo90]

Im REALLY REALLY REALLY glad that atrocity was never made.

I know 3 wasnt the best and it was cheesy,but it ended on a good moral lesson and ultimately closed the book on these characters. It ended well. I was always against a 4th being made.

Not even this plot makes me more glad it was never made. 3 was a nice finish to everything and im happy it wasnt spoiled by THIS ****.

 

[Spidey_62]

Wow, Spidey kills the Vulture? Cheats on MJ? Has a baby (that wasn't killed by Norman Osborn)? Gives up being Spidey again? I'm sorry, but that sounds bad to me. I loved all 3 Spidey movies by Raimi, even Spider-Man 3 for all its flaws. But this didn't sound good to me.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

wait. this is from IMDB.

get out of town.

 

[Marvel Spider]

wait. this is from IMDB.

get out of town.

That's what I was thinking, but it's so detailed that it could be true.


I really hope it's not.

It would have been a natural progression of crap already planted in the first film. Too much focus on Peter/MJ's puppy love, what else could they do with these movies? There had to be a love-triangle, there had to be a villain killing, plenty of cheese and more focus on evolving MJ/Peter's boring ass relationship. When you have a good director with a good direction for a franchise, you should be able to take a comic book film in any direction you want--with them still being linked together. But the way these films were set up, you knew what you were getting before it was made, different villain(s), same damn movie.

How anyone doesn't put most of the blame on Sam Raimi is beyond me. This franchise was dead creatively when they started it off with being...ALL ABOUT A GIRL.

 

[Jaxxon]

Just because it's "detailed" doesn't mean it came from the mind of Vanderbilt or Alvin Sargent himself. Did this person happen to say how they got their hands on the script in the first place?

I think it's safe to say that Raimi would never let this happen. If this was the case, then no wonder he walked.

 

[Spidey_62]

I dunno, I hope it's not true. It jives with one of those other rumors we heard a couple months ago on the script, though.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, cheating on MJ? Yawn. More fighting from the two which was the one thing I didn't want to see. No more drama for the two of them. If they are married and have a child, why would he cheat on her? That's very out of character.

And killing Vulture? Even more out of character.

 

[LightningFlash]

Why would they skip five years ahead in Spider-Man 4 and just take away what fans would have really wanted to see(i.e., a Peter/MJ wedding)?

This sounds bogus, but also it sounds partially true in regards to Vulture. So far, villains have been changed a whole lot, and I wouldn't be surprised that Vulture was actually a Vulture-looking creature while the real Toomes controlled it with his mind. Just because it keeps the facetime on the true villain while having just a robot or whatever as the "obstacle".

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Sounds like Raimi did a bang up job running that script into the ground.

 

[Rodrigo90]

That plot makes me want to slit my wrists,seriously. Its just so depressing.

 

[Spider-Fan]

That...would have been bad

Hopefully that wasn't true, but I will say, it sounds plausible. Given all the rumors over time.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I'm going to believe this is true, weren't Sony casting for a little red headed kid anyways?

 

[Troy_Parker]

This

"[TODDLER BOY]
2 or 3 year old boy to play 2 year old, Caucasian with RED HAIR, an adorable toddler with an engaging personality, on set experience preferred. IDENTICAL TWINS ONLY"

 

[Judge Holden]

^^ Agreed. If this is actually what it was going to be, then i defentiely think it was going to be Sonys' fault.

Why is it Sony's fault? Can't accept that Raimi and co wrote a terrible screenplay?

If it was what Sony wanted, they would of just gone ahead and made it anyway. With or without Raimi.

What i think has happened is Raimi presented this script to Sony, they didn't like it and wanted him to change it. Raimi refused. So everyone went their seperate ways and now we have the reboot.

 

[Boom]

That is "Batman and Robin"-caliber awful. Just absolutely abysmal.

But in hindsight, I sincerely doubt this is true. There are too many glaring inconsistencies from the summary alone. Why would Parker still be in Connor's class FIVE years after Spider-Man 3? Is he pulling a Van Wilder and sticking around campus for seven years?

That, and the whole killing Vulture and cheating on MJ completely undermines the morality of the character, which had been a prominent theme throughout the first three movies.
