The Amazing Spider-Man Reboot Origin of Powers

[bullets]

They are setting these films in High School years and they are going to want to set up characters like Harry , Flash , and Gwen , etc. I think we are getting the origin all over again.
However i think it would be cool if they just had Spidey swinging around and doing a monologue of his origin and it's covered within the first few minutes with some flashbacks.

Don't bother mentioning what happened to the spider. Just show a brief clip of an undefined, abnormal spider biting Peter in a 'how he became Spider-Man' montage over the opening credits and move along.

 

[LightningFlash]

Bring in Green Goblin for movie number three and slowly explore the origins of that spider as a way to show how OsCorp has been altering animals' genetics.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I said elsewhere, just start the movie off with Peter in the hospital after the spiderbite like in Ultimate Spidey. Uncle Ben and Aunt May come in to get him and start the origin from there.

We already know Peter's a loser nerd so any changes to how he gets his costume and such can be explained from that point on.

This time I want Radioactive Blood.

There ya go. Just like Incredible Hulk. We don't need another origin. Move along with the story.

I still HATE the idea of making him Spider-Kid again.

This time I want Radioactive Blood.

Is he strong? Listen bud—
He's got radioactive blood.

Daredevil-style early movie flashbacks or Incredible Hulk-style origin intro credits.

I agree with Daredevil (in fact I liked Daredevil's origin much more than Raimi Spiderman's). But TIH... hadn't I been a Hulk fan I wouldn't have gotten a thing from that rushed thing.

Maybe their intention was just to remind people of what happened to him, since his origins also aren't unknown to the public, given the previous movie, the old tv series and old movies, too.

The spider is the only way it can ever go. But I do want to see a bigger role in Oscorp for developing some of the villains that appear in the series like Scorpion, Rhino, Shocker, and more.

 

[ChristoftheRed]

I think the genetically altered Spider should stay, just no need to spend a lot of time there or with the origin. I also think the Lizard would be a perfect first villain.

Tips to getting the Spider-Man franchise right this time:

1. Make Gwen Stacy Peter's love interest, no Mary Jane at all yet, keep Parker in high school for the first two movies.

2. Introduce Norman Osborn and Eddie Brock in the first movie, start building their characters

3. Take your time with good stories based off the great comics, do not shove villains or important characters in for the hell of it, use them properly from the beginning!

4. Use villains that haven't appeared in the movies for the second film again, like Electro, Shocker or Kingpin.

5. Send Parker to college in the third, introduce the Green Goblin after building Harry and Norman's characters. Use the greatest Spider-Man story ever, the Death of Gwen Stacy to make sure the third is the best film yet instead of the worst.

6. After the third, introduce Venom after building Brock's character. Also, introduce Mary Jane and start the next chapter in Peter's life. Gold!

Rhino shouldn't be made at oscorp. Rhino is hired muscle from europe. Travels the world to work for the highest bidder. We never need to see him before he becomes the rhino, and far as I know we never have before SSM. I'd also prefer Shocker not be connected to oscorp. I enjoy the simplicity of the character as he is. Just a random thug with specialty weapons. Maybe Scorpion. That could work... but honestly... having so many spidey villains come from Oscorp just makes it seem like a really small world doesn't it? Having super-humans emerge at random times all around the planet seems alot less lazy and convenient than a 'super-villain' factory spitting out bad guys a few blocks from Parker's house.

 

[The Slang]

A spider climbs into Peter Parker's teleporter.

I'd like the movie to open up with a bank robbery (God, this sounds like TDK already) and then Spidey comes, kicks the crap out of the robbers and crawls on to some shady building.

 

[Nathan]

I probably wouldn't even show a montage during the credits, I would keep the bite for a flashback or something.

I'd start the Movie by showing a classroom with the teacher making a roll call.

Teacher: "Harry Osborn?"

Harry: "Here."

Teacher: "Flash Thompson?"

Flash: "Here."

Teacher: "Peter Parker?"

...

Teacher: *sigh* "Where is Peter Parker?"

*cut to the roof of a car that is racing down the streets*

Spider-Man: "Would you pull over if I'd say pretty please?"

Crook #1: "Shake him off!"

Crook #2: "I'm trying!"

Then you'd have him busting the crooks and then cut to a scene of him sneaking into the class room.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Do teachers still do roll call in high school though?

 

[Nathan]

Don't ruin it!

Ok, something different then. Let's say they are working on a school project and the teacher is pairing students up.

Teacher: "Liz Allen, you'll be working togther with Peter Parker."

Liz: "Uh.. teach? He isn't here."

Teacher sighs, cut to car chase, you know the rest.

I think the same. The problem is that it was supposed to be a reboot and it felt like a sequel from second one.

Radiation does not give you powers, it breaks your DNA down.


I imagine the origin to be like cult horror film, The Fly.

 

[sdc10]

Radiation does not give you powers, it breaks your DNA down.

Which totally sucks, Chernobyl was the picture perfect definition of a scenario that could produce super humans and we got nothing

 

[The Slang]

Not ALL radiation is harmful. We are all constantly exposed to radiation.
In the 90s TAS Professor Stillwell was the leading expert in a new science, 'neo-genics.' Which was the use of controlled radiation to recode a DNA sequence. It was at one of Stillwell's presentations that parker was bitten by the spider. Later Stillwell used neo-genics to create the scorpion. Connors also used it to turn himself into the lizard and morbius used it to turn himself into a vampire.
Did this Stillwell character exist in the comics? If so how sigificant was his role?

I think the spider should be radioactive. Let's not forget that the fantastic 4 were already on the scene before Parker got his powers. They all recieved their abilities from cosmic radiation. So Richards surely would have attempted to create some kind of device to create similar radiation in order to cure the thing.

So you just have to establish that this isn't the same frequency of radiation surrounding chernobyl. It was a technologically induced frequency designed for what ever purpose.

 

[SpeterMan3]

Do teachers still do roll call in high school though?

Yes. Yes they do.

 

[Spectacular23]

And the ability not to cry every three seconds.

The problem is the suspension of disbelief. Yeah I know its a super hero movie and all but due to most people knowing the true effects of radiation on the body thanks to chernobyl and the WW2 A bombs then the whole radiation thing ain't gonna fly. Anything exposed to high enough radiation to change ones genetic structure is also gonna fry the poor sod alive. Its common knowledge. It just depends on if people can stretch their disbelief. I personally can't (though I accept it in the comics cause whats done is done and its kinda works in a kooky way but in a movie it would kinda fall flat)
