The Amazing Spider-Man Sequel or Reboot for Spidey?

[spida-man]

Raimi didn't need to read the comics. He had a painting done on his wall so he is the best person for the job.

Besides Rami DID/DOES read the comics....

I do not want to watch Peter Parker's origin story again when they already nailed it with the first one.

Yeah, they nailed it in the first one and then apparently figured they did it too perfectly so they retconned it in the third one. But like people said, a reboot doesn't necessarily mean a new origin story.

Personally, I think they should wait a few years after the franchise dies out for good before a reboot is even considered so interest has a chance to regrow. Otherwise the reboot will probably be as successful as TIH was. Rebooting all the time will probably kill people's interest.

I still don't see the reasoning behind why a reboot is needed. So they messed up Venom and Peter Parker danced, big whoopin' deal. It's not like they displaced the groundwork of the whole series.

If there's one thing I don't like about Batman Begins, for all it got right, is that it set a very unfortunate precident by being a reboot, especially with fanboys. Now whenever something doesn't go the way a fan wants in an adaptation, they just say "they should reboot it." Hollywood doesn't even seem to know what a reboot is half the time, because they seem to think that sequels count as reboots even though they're not, just because they stopped putting numbers in the titles of the sequels. Hollywood doesn't know what a reboot is, and fanboys don't know what a reboot is for.

Waaaay too early for a reboot.

I want to see the story continue. Even if a decent amount of people consider Spider-Man 3 a bit lacking, it's simply not enough to warrant going back and starting from scratch.

 

[Nathan]

Just continue the movies under a new director, with a new cast and retcon some personalities.

 

[Timstuff]

I agree that new actors and a new crew would probably be enough to freshen up the franchise as opposed to an actual reboot, and seeing different actors in the roles would be enough for them to get away with altering some aspects of their personalities without any major explanation.

I think for a lot of people though, Toby Maguire will always be their favorite Spider-Man. The first person to play a character often times does emerge as the long running favorite.

I don't know about Tobey always being the favorite.Kevin Conroy is my favorite Batman and I don't know too many people who have Adam West as their favorite Batman.

 

[Doc Ock]

Tobey Maguire is my favorite Spider-Man...and Josh Keaton.

 

[The Shredder]

I don't know about Tobey always being the favorite.Kevin Conroy is my favorite Batman and I don't know too many people who have Adam West as their favorite Batman.

And I know of fewer people who have Lewis Wilson as their favorite Batman.

But I have to agree that Tobey will be a favorite for some time to come with fans of the Spider-Man films.

Adam West did his thing with Batman over 40 years ago, where alot of fans these days grew up on the Burton/Keaton Bat-flicks, or the 1990's animated series during the past 20 years. So naturally, alot of fans will cite those adaptations/portrayals as their personal favorite. Even if they also really enjoyed what came before, or later.

This thread topic is overused. There should be a cesnor so people can't make threads with "reboot" in them when there's no reboot being planned! -_-

You can hate on the fact Spider-Man 4 is coming all you want but it's still going to come. And don't act like we have loads of news and info because we have almost NOTHING aside from some rumors. This thread would be more appopriate if the movie had came out already but it hasn't.

They can always show a spidey origin if they reboot the series with just a little flashback.Like you can have Peter meet Dr.Connors and Dr.Connors could be like,hey aren't you that kid who got ill on that field trip and fainted on some expensive equipment.

 

[DACMAN]

For me, its not even that the current continuity has gotten so bad that I want a reboot. Its that I want to see a new vision for the franchise. I mean the current cast a crew have been on for like 10 years and I think they should give someone else a go

Hell, Im hoping that 3 years after SP4 there is a new cast and crew hopefully making a teenage Spiderman film

I think all 3 movies should take place in high school ala Ultimate Spider-Man.

Name one person that makes that statement true.

Maybe you mean him?

or maybe him?

or him..

Oh I get it, you mean him

the first live action Spidey/Peter ever? Right?

Hollywood doesn't know what a reboot is? What the heck does that mean? They not only know what it means, they love reboots. They can recycle the same story all over again with a different vision. Every other movie now-a-days is a reboot. Star Trek, Bond, Batman, and HULK all reboots. The audience loves it, and they love it. Fan boys always want to see a different take on their favorite character. That's why we get different writers for comics because after awhile one person's vision of the character after hundreds of issues could get really stale. You seem to be the only one who doesn't know what a reboot is for. Stop projecting...

I've been saying this since Spider-Man 3, and we get a rumor about 'Vulturess' and then people jump in the bandwagon.

Haven't I said before that Raimi is an idiot?

'Vulturess' proves it. And also that Kingsley isn't rumored to be Vulture anymore.

Kinglsey > Malkovich.

Plus...both of those villains will be sympathetic, and we find out that they belong to a group(as was Flint Marko...he was a "trainee") much like the Illuminati and they all devised a plan to kill Uncle Ben because they believed him to be the destroyer of the world. Little do they know that Aunt May is Carnage though. Poor stupid bastards...I bet Green Goblin knew though, at least HE went after the old raisin.

 

[GoldGoblin]

Maybe the rebbot could be in animation like the movie Beowoulf.

 

[DACMAN]

Or Pixar could do it. But yeah, I'd love a Beowulf style Spidey movie.

But as far as a reboot goes, I say give Raimi one more film so that he can redeem himself a little. Let them all have one more go and then reboot. I think the franchise needs some new blood and a new take on it.

 

[Octoberist]

no uncanny valley Spider-Man. so no to Beowulf style.

 

[DACMAN]

Don't be so closed-minded.

Are you stupid? Vulturess doens't prove anything since:

A- You don't know how the character is going to work in the movie if she's in it and...
B- It's still a rumor! Jezz, there's nothing official yet!

Very true but people like to eat up rumors similar to how Pac-Man eats his pellets!

 

[webhead731]

LightningFlash will find fault with anything Spider-Man 4 related. Doesn't matter what they do.

The reset button is being used too often. And it's annoying.
