The Amazing Spider-Man No Mary Jane for reboot?

[socool]

Wow...Emma Roberts can pull it off. Does she look 18?

 

[Spider-Vader]

YES! Gwen should ALWAYS be the first love. Hopefully, they'll have the balls to have Gobby kill her eventually.

 

[Infinity9999x]

I don't dislike her. I'm just fed up with her right now. The whole thing with the marriage/Mephisto crap in the comics, and of course Dunst's MJ, I've just become weary of MJ.

It'll be a breath of fresh air to see another of Peter's love interests get the spotlight for a change.

The Mephisto the homewrecker idea was quite possibly the worst idea I've seen introduced into the Spider-man mythos. It was stupid and idiotic.

Not to mention, it sends a bit of a bum message. "Yeah, we're not going to try and keep writing Spider-man in a relationship with Mary Jane, or find new ways to keep the dynamic interesting, we're just going to figure out one of the most nonsensical ways possible to start over."

God I hated that.

I like MJ personally. But I don't know why you'd be tired of MJ. I have yet to see her portrayed on film. I really feel bad for Dunst, because the character they wrote for her had none of the charm the character of MJ possesses.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing this movie take a cue from SSM and have Gwen be the number one love interest with MJ being in the friend role.

In my opinion yes she does look 18 but I say that because I just turned 19 not too long ago and the teens I know look as youthful as her

like i said gwen bores me, i find her character dull and the death while an iconic moment has become overplayed and lost any impact that it may of had.

mj is at least has a bit of dynamic and character to her, but i agree we should play out the whole love triangle thing, with gwen as the first girlfriend then it at least will be something different.

but there are two problems 1) if the do have him jump between the two then it has to be done in a way that shows he's not an ******* 2) if they do use gwen will they have the balls to go the full distance and have the goblin kill her.

personally i hope they do

 

[DACMAN]

I take it you haven't read Spider-Man Blue.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

yes multiple times and enjoyed it highly but still as a whole gwen does nothing

 

[Infinity9999x]

If they go the higschool route, I hope they take a page out of SSM's book. I really liked the characterization of Gwen in that series. Heck, even if it's in college, I hope they keep the characterization. She was a very likeable character.

 

[Venomfan]

I take it you haven't read Spider-Man Blue.

what bothered me about that book was that its message felt like it boiled down to Gwen>MJ

and it is weird, i've noticed that in the last two years or so a lot of fans have turned against MJ all of a sudden.

for those who are bored with MJ, do you feel the same way with other super heroes and their wives/girlfiends? for example would you like the next superman movie to just use lana and save lois for later?

Again, I don't know why anyone would be tired of MJ. She's only been in the comics and a tv series. MJ hasn't appeared in the movies yet. At least not the MJ I know.

Haha tell that to the anti-reboot trolls anyway he's proven himself credible in the past due to him giving us info on SM4 being cancelled when Raimi,Maguire and Sony were saying that it was still being made.

Also could anyone just make up that the villains originally intended for SM3 was Vulture and Sandman and that Ben Kingsley was originally in talks for the role of Vulture? which we didnt find about until a year after SM3 came out and people were saying that he was making BS when it was revealed that Venom would be the secondary villain instead. he had gave out that info before anyone else did, was that just him saying random obvious stuff then too?

BTW,in the last part of that sentence that ended with a question,I'm referring to the Sandman and Vulture thing as well as SM4 being cancelled.

Wrong. Entertainment Weekly first came out with the Ben Kingsley news right when Spider-Man 3 was opening.

While Parker's main fight would be with himself, Raimi was determined that Spider-Man bash heads with a trio of other villains. Peter's rich-kid pal Harry Osborn (James Franco) reappears as the New Goblin, taking up where his dad, the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), left off in the first movie. In January 2005, Thomas Haden Church (Sideways) signed up as escaped convict Flint Marko, a.k.a. shape-shifter Sandman. Sir Ben Kingsley took a meeting in late February to discuss playing the winged felon Vulture — but a week later, that story line fizzled in the still-evolving script. Instead, Raimi swapped in Topher Grace, onetime star of the long-running sitcom That '70s Show, to play Eddie Brock, a photographer rival of Peter Parker's who becomes the toothy fiend Venom. At first, Grace was puzzled at being tapped, since in the comics Brock is a middleaged, muscle-bound guy. ''My first reaction was, This is probably a really bad idea,'' says Grace. ''People are religious about not straying too far from the page.'' But Grace figured Raimi knew what he was doing when he explained that Brock, in the film, would be a kind of dark doppelgänger to Parker.

Nor did the fat-guy break anything about Spider-Man 4 falling apart. IESB did that first at the very end of 2009, followed up by Deadline Hollywood at start of this year.

This is the same dude who does videos from his grandmother's basement dressed up as Spider-Man claiming to be BFFs with Stan Lee, praising Mel Gibson, accuses the Hype of "abusing kids" and that he's going to sue people for making fun of him. Funny. I was never contacted by any attorney. Wonder why.

I don't think it was as much that as it just was he was going to marry her. She was his first love and he misses her. MJ even got that. And at that time he did like Gwen more than MJ. It wasn't until after her death that she dropped that whole "I need to be the center of the party" crap.

and it is weird, i've noticed that in the last two years or so a lot of fans have turned against MJ all of a sudden.

I think that it's 100% because of Kirsten Dunst. As much as I like MJ, Dunst did actually make me like the character a bit less after she was done with it.

 

[DACMAN]

Again, I don't know why anyone would be tired of MJ. She's only been in the comics and a tv series. MJ hasn't appeared in the movies yet. At least not the MJ I know.

Like I said a bit ago. I think people are turned off by the character because of Dunst.

You know they will give Gwen her fate if she is showing up this early in the trilogy and actually being the love interest. Is it still rumors or is it confirmed that Gwen is the love of Peter's life for this movie?

They will kill her off, probably in the 2nd film. Would be very reminiscent of The Dark Knight because Batman Begins had low caliber villains...then Rachel was killed off by Joker in TDK. Gwen and Lizard apparently for this then the sequel could be GG and the whole death of Gwen...Gwen Stacy's death being the climax of the sequel. But don't kill GG off, just end it with a very emotional battle where GG loses but will be back for the end of the trilogy. That is my opinion.

It's confirmed that Mary Jane is NOT the love interest. Doesn't mean it can't be Liz but judging by the actresses, it's Gwen.

 

[Catman]

we've had movies with Ryan Renolds making out passionately with Kirsten Stewart when she was barely legal.

In Adventureland, Reynolds and Stewart played characters their own age. That's not the case in the Spider-Man reboot.

 

[MadVillainy]

Adam Brody made out with Kristin Stewart in In The Land of Women when she was 17 and he was 28

But I dont even know what you guys are talking about

 

[Catman]

Didn't Adam Brody play his own age in that movie? His character worked in the porn industry and was dumped by his porn star girlfriend.

 

[I'm Venom]

Emma Roberts for Gwen is my decision, assuming that they go with Gwen.

 

[DACMAN]

I don't know, I see MJ way more than Gwen from her...

 

[DACMAN]

Now Imogen Poots on the other hand looks more like Gwen...

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Poots is definitely more Gwen but I wouldn't be against Emma
I don't see much MJ in her though

 

[Spidey_62]

I wouldn't doubt him 100%, tbh. If I remember correctly, he did provide us with information on the status of S-M4.

Neither would I, personally. You're right, he was right about a lot of that stuff back then; and I think lots of people out there are unfairly bagging him now.

 

[©KAW]

Why is she pooting?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Emma Roberts would look too young next to Garfield as any of hte love interests.

Poots all the way!
