Raimi confirms Sandman *spoilers*

From Premiere Magazine.

"When Peter finds out that he's fallible for this murder, he's so prideful, he just focuses on the man who really killed Uncle Ben," Raimi says.

More info here. Kinda sucks, but expected for me.

Hmm, I don't know. Think he's just leading fans into believe that Sandman is responsible for Uncle Ben's death? I really don't feel or believe Raimi would deviate from the material that much.

But if it's true and really does happen, I trust Raimi to make it to where it's an emotional revelation and something that is dark and sinister. If anyone can really make this work it's Raimi.

I Really Hate this. Talk about walking away from the actual story. The burgular is spiderman's orgin. And it should be him cuz peter let him go, how is it really his fault now when sandman takes out uncle ben? The fact that sandman is responsible just doesnt seem right at all...

 

[The Amazing Lee]

hmmmm....

What more proof do you need? The script summary said it, set pics backed it up, the trailer backed it up even further, and now it even came straight from Raimi's mouth. Its just as confirmed as Venom is at this point.

It may be a plot twist that he wasn't. This is one thing I am very concerned about with this movie. It looks great, but this is really going against the whole reason he became Spider-Man in the first place. I hope it isn't the case, but I am waiting to see how it plays out before making a final judgement.

 

[The_Dark_Knight]

This sucks.

 

[Storm22]

If Sandman is the real killer then it's stupid and essentially makes the events of Spiderman 1, which lead Parker to become Spiderman, pointless! Big continuity error imo.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

it is not that bad, now we know what tobey meant by "twist and turns", the twists and turns have been great so far.

 

[Gonking]

What's the big problem?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Oh, Tobey. How I love thee.

If he was a member on this site........I hope he's been reading my messages.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

it is not really that bad, it is not suprising though, this has been confirmed in the script summary and in the trailer.

 

[Secret_Riddle]

I actually think its a pretty neat idea...sandman being the killer and all. I think raimi will make it work.

 

[Spider-Fan]

This has been bugging me for a while. It is very bad. Spider-Man learned that his actions have consequences when the burglar he let go killed Uncle Ben. By making him now not the killer, what is the lesson he learned from the experience then? Cause that isn't it. It takes away from the power and responsibility message in SM1. I hope Sandman was associated with the killer, but not the real killer. That is what I think will happen, and it is what should happen.

People know I am a Raimi supporter, but I don't support this idea. I have to see it played out.

 

[The Joker]

So, there you have it. Sandman is the real killer. Holy unnecessary crappy plot device Batman

And another conformation there that Raimi never wanted Venom. He also disses Gwen's character as only having any potency until after she died.

I don't know...all of this kind of conflicts. Spider-Man killed the guy he thought was responsible for the death of his Uncle Ben...he had no remorse for it and was just kid of like "oh well...gotchya b****" when he fell out of the window. Well, the script summary or the Q&A...can't remember which one...says Sandman quits being a criminal because of his daughter. Well, why wouldn't Spider-Man seek revenge on Sandman until he got his punishment like the robber in SM1? He's not just going to accpet it and let him live...that would be dumb IMO. Either the twist is that Sandman is just pinned as the killer by the cops and the symbiote furthers Peter's rage, or Sandman really is the killer and the whole birth of a hero from SM1 is out the window. Hell, what about the guy that got killed in SM1...is his death pointless now...will that not weigh on Peter's conscious?

I agree with you that Raimi should have made Sandman be involved in the murder but not the real killer. It would still give Spidey a reason to take revenge on Sandman, and it wouldn't screw around with his origin. But, I still believe that Sandman will be the killer, because of all the proof we've been provided with. Just because I don't want it to happen doesn't mean it won't.

I am holding out hope that it is a twist that Sandman didn't kill him. If Sandman is the real killer, that sucks. Period.

We all know the police aren't fond of Spider-Man...what if they make this rumor up...knowing Parker is Spider-Man's press agent...just to catch a dangerous criminal? I am just grasping at straws...I agree with LOTN...I wish Marko was only an accomplice to the crime and not the actual killer. What would even be crazier if Marko spills that him and the robber from SM1 were working under a crime lord named Fisk at the time.

Don't think that could happen since FOX has the DD rights, giving them the Kingpin. I think it is possible that the movie is going to lead you to believe he was the killer, but we will find out he wasn't. I am not sure. I have to see it played out. Like I said, I think making him the real killer is a flat out dumb idea.

I agree...I just hope Marko was at the scene and the cops pinned him for the crime. The symbiote leads Peter to beat the crap out of Sandman. If Sandman is the real killer...it throw conitnuity out the window by demeaning Spider-Man's origin as well as making the robber's death in SM1 pointless.

 

[Ebil Gig]

Ugh, Raimi should have just left Uncle Ben's death alone. It was perfectly fine from the first movie. Interesting plot twist, yes but I'm just not fond of him killing Uncle Ben.

maybe marko did not shoot uncle ben, what if the robber shot uncle ben but marko was the one who threw uncle ben out of the car, i doubt it though.
