Sony Pictures Entertainment Brings Marvel Studios Into The Amazing World Of Spider-Ma

Someone new would set apart the series from ASM. That or the real Mandarin :o
 
What stories can they possibly give us that would be fresh, especially if we are dealing with Spidey in his formative years again?

Any storyline dealing with Mysterio, The Vulture, Kraven, Chameleon, Kingpin, a proper Green Goblin, Spider-slayers, Hydro-man, Scorpion, do you want me to keep going?
And that's just the villains, which is only half the story. There's so much untapped potential.

Precisely. A villain who has been seen in the franchise before can also reappear in a different and just as interesting storyline. Villains do that in the comics all the time. Doc Ock is not limited to his Spider-Man 2 plotline, for example. They can reuse the villain, they just cannot reuse the story.

The supporting cast can also be given some time to develop. One of the reasons Peter Parker is so popular is because he has a very active and entertaining supporting cast to interact with. For example, Flash Thompson has one of Marvel`s most interesting journeys, and he has barely had dialogue in the films he has been featured.

You bring up a great point about Flash, I really liked how the first ASM film had Flash and Peter palling around by the end of the story and I wish they would have done more with that character.
And yes, his supporting cast is also an untapped well of potential. As much as I liked the first two Raimi films, and elements of the first ASM, I still say we have yet to get the definitive Spider-man movie so, in my mind, we have yet to see what his supporting cast is really capable of bringing to the story. The same goes for the villains, I think Doc Ock was awesome in Spider-man 2 but other than him I really don't think any other villain has been represented that faithfully in the Spider-man movies. The goblin in particular is one of the best villains in all of comics, and I want to see them build that character up properly over a trilogy without having Harry in the suit first, or a power ranger suit, or dying at the end of his first appearance.

Funny you bring that up. I had written a brief treatment for how Sony could bail out the Amazing franchise without having to do a reboot, and it more or less revolved around Wilson Fisk getting into a turf war with Frederick Foswell. Fisk and Foswell would fight a proxy battle with Vulture (Fisk's side) and the Enforcers (Foswell's side), with Spider-Man caught in between.

Fisk would attempt a hostile takeover of Oscorp so that he can get access to the bioweapons research that produced Electro, Lizard and Goblin. Fisk would coerce Felicia Hardy into stealing more information (the Kingpin's other spies, Smythe and Menken, were killed by Electro). Felicia discovers Peter's identity and decides to lie to Fisk about finding no information. She then passes on information about Fisk's plan to Ben Ulrich. Kingpin finds out, has Vulture kill Felicia's father and then sends Vulture to kill Urich and recover the information she passed along to him. Urich and Foswell (Foswell worked at the Bugle) have a conversation about Urich's impending expose to prove that Fisk is the Kingpin. Urich unknowingly reveals crucial information to The Big Man, who calls in the Enforcers to kill Urich and take the rest of the information from him.

The Enforcers and Vulture get into a scuffle while each side tries to kidnap Urich. Peter, having eavesdropped on Urich and Foswell's conversation, pops in as Spider-Man so that he can save Urich, get the information, and keep people from possibly connecting Peter's abilities to Oscorp.

After Felicia escapes from the Kingpin, she turns to Peter, and after some convincing, Peter and Felicia teamup. Felicia uses a prototype espionage suit belonging to Fisk's weapons R&D department, and the suit would be codenamed Black C.A.T.S. (Covert Apparatus for Terrestrial Surveillance). Knowing that Spider-Man took Urich's only copy of the information that Felicia gave to Urich, Kingpin sends the Vulture out to start killing people in the hopes of luring him out into the open. Foswell, wanting to get the information to get leverage over Fisk, sends the Enforcers out to a different location to more or less do the same thing. Unable to be in two places at once, Peter and Felicia split up. Peter takes on Vulture, Felicia takes on the Enforcers. After defeating their respective enemies, Peter and Felicia head to Fisk towers and take down Fisk (after Fisk nearly kills Felicia by initiating a fail safe in her suit). Fisk goes to trial, Foswell takes over Fisks old territory, but now a new turf war begins.

The film would end with Peter preparing for a date with MJ until he hears sirens. He makes an excuse about needing to get photos for JJJ, and off he goes. While swinging out, he encounters Felicia, in a modified version of the suit, and now using the name Blackcat. She flirts with Peter, states that she is now hooked on the thrill of being a costume, and suddenly the two of them hear some of L. Thompson Lincoln's men shaking down a mom and pop store. Once again faced with the need to be in two places at once, Felicia and Peter nod to each other in recognition of Felicia following the sirens while Peter descends to take down Lincoln's men.

That was my idea in a nutshell, but not the full original post, which was far more fleshed out. I still think it would be a viable idea for a Spider-Man film, except now they would need to reintroduce Felicia, Oscorp and a ton of other variables.
 
Or we can just NOT go to that well again and do something TRULY different. People praising Marvel is amusing to me as they've shown over the last decade or so that they have no clue what made Peter special to begin with. They're so obsessed with their own nostalgia that they've taken away pretty much all of Peter's character growth, which is what made him interesting to me, in favor of getting "their Spider-Man back." And it looks like the films will do the same things. HS/College-aged Peter, that holds so little interest for me that this might be the first MCU film that I DON'T see in theatres.
 
what made him interesting to me

holds so little interest for me

Are you the only Spider-Man fan in the world? It isn't all about you. So howzabout you lose the abrasiveness and let people discuss what they'd like to see in this new iteration?

You're more than welcome to do the same, of course, as an alternative to dumping on someone else's post. It's much nicer. Try it. You'll thank me later ;)

I am no fan of Marvel's regressive storytelling. And it is true that Marvel is obsessed with one vision of Spider-Man (single, teen, broke). Marvel takes drastic actions to return Peter to that vision (second clone saga, OMD, Superior). However, even though those actions rub many fans the wrong way, those same actions excite other fans. Everyone has their own ideal, and Marvel csn onfly cater to one ideal in a movie. Here is hoping that Marvel can do something novel with Peter in high school.
 
An older Peter would be great.

As long as we get to see him grow. So that means starting off young and planning for the long game.

Yup. I don't know how you can say we've already seen the high school experience when they always shuffle him off to college as soon as possible.

That last tidbit in TASM 1 had me very excited as well, I was really disappointed they didn`t follow that up on the 2nd one. And I wholeheartedly agree about the villains: Willem Dafoe is one of the few things I enjoy in Spider-Man 1, and I even liked Chris Cooper`s creepy turn in TASM 2, but they are very different beasts from comic-book Norman/Green Goblin. Spectacular Spider-Man, despite the limitations of its format, did Norman very well in my opinion.

On the unrelated points about Peter`s age. While I do enjoy grown-up Peter, it only means something if we`ve seen him get there. Peter`s journey is one of the richest character histories in comics, and I really look forward to seeing it on the big screen.

On regressive storytelling, there is no reason to fear this from the Marvel movie franchise: regressive storytelling arises from the need to keep the comics going forever. With so much source material, I doubt Marvel would resort to that.
 
while yes im all for fresh new villains and new storys....I WANT MY REAL ****ING GREEN GOBLIN

defoe was superb as gobby but he got netured by the suit and plot. and the less said about sick bed and bevis the better
 
I want Marvel to go with a complete unknown for Spiderman. Get an actual teenager and have him grow across a series of movies so the audience will get even more attached to him. Like Harry Potter, except a little older.

I would be inclined to agree, if the Dylan O`Brien kid didn`t look so much like Peter. The guy looks like he leapt out of the page, it`s almost scary.

My vote, ironically, is for Grant Gustin. I saw him in Arrow and immediately thought how great he'd be as Peter Parker.

Wow! You should start writing scripts! :)

But the thing I see most from your story is that Spider-man easily has the best and most diverse rogue gallery and supporting cast among all of Superheroes (except maybe Batman) and how much of uptapped potential he has.All the 5 Spider-man movies have concentrated only on Spider-man and his love interest(and a little bit on Harry Osborn), all the while ignoring so many interesting supporting characters,using the same old Villains (Goblin 3 times, similar back story of Doc-Ock and Lizard)

Thank you for the compliment. I do dabble in novel writing, so who knows? Perhaps the time will come when I get paid for my opinion lol.

As for Spidey's rogues, I agree with you. Spider-Man has a robust list of foes and one of the strongest supporting casts. An element I appreciated about Raimi's films was the inclusion of Gwen, Betty, Harry, Mary Jane, JJJ, Robbie, Captain Stacy and Aunt May. The only missing person was Deb Whitman. Peter Parker, I feel, is defined by the people in his life more so than his alter ego. Any story where Peter Parker is the Spider-Man of focus, should explore his complex social life: especially the villains that often worked at the Bugle or hid behind the guise of well meaning philanthropists.
 
My Original Treatment for Amazing Spider-Man 3

First Act
Peter, now a college kid living on campus, meets Mary Jane Watson, a wild yet approachable sorority girl. Aunt May has been encouraging Peter to date again after the passing of Gwen, and formally introduces Peter to MJ. Peter is hesitant about dating again, but decides to heed his aunt's request. On a date setup by their respective aunts, MJ decides that although Peter is attractive and pleasant, that her lifestyle is too different from Peter's. In the end, they finish their date merely to please their respective aunts.

As Peter is coming to terms with his new life as a college student, Wilson Fisk is attempting a hostile take over of Oscorp, whose stocks have dropped to abysmal levels due to Electro's connection to Oscorp being leaked to the press. The ailing company is nearly bankrupt because of its association with Dr. Connors' terrorist plot, the sudden death of Norman Osborn and the psychiatric break down of his son, Harry, who gets blamed for the death of Gwen Stacy. The public believes that Harry killed Gwen randomly because she was an intern of the company. Therefore, the public does not know that Harry is the Green Goblin. However, Fisk knows the truth about Harry's actions because Fisk had spies (Alistair Smythe and Donald Menken) that managed to steal away several Oscorp secrets before meeting their end at the hands of Electro. The only loose end that Fisk is unaware of is the connection between Oscorp and Spider-Man, whom seems to be remarkably similar to the freak experiments coming out of Oscorp.

Fisk is secretly at war with the Frederick Foswell (The Big Man) for control over New York City's underworld, and wishes to use Oscorp's bio-research to create a private group of soldiers to take on Foswell's crew. With the Lizard and Goblin in prison and Electro ostensibly dead, Fisk only has one more option to find a template to create super soldiers: Spider-Man. Knowing that Felicia Hardy was once Harry's personal assistant, Fisk coerces Felicia into gathering Harry's files and finding the connection between Spider-Man and Oscorp. In the process of Felicia's investigation, she discovers that Harry was friends with the son of two former Oscorp employees that were later assassinated for trying to flee with the data for the Spider Experiments. Because of this connection, Felicia deduces that Peter is Spider-Man.

Further investigation reveals that Peter's parents had attempted to destroy all sources of their research, save for two items; the first is the laptop we see Richard Parker delete at the start of ASM2, the second is Peter himself, which is the real reason why they left Peter with Ben and May. Peter's parents gave Peter a series of false-inoculations that were in fact serums designed to modify Peter's genetic template and allow him to generate new cells whenever exposed to any life threatening cellular degeneration. Richard had used his own blood for the basis of his research and had concluded that he could administer the serum to Peter without causing him harm. The initial experiment was to bond specific animal traits to a human host so that a human could take on useful traits to treat a myriad of diseases. This much would be congruent with Dr. Connors' pursuits in the first film. Unfortunately, the Parkers soon learned that Osborn not only intended to use this research to cure himself, but to create a super soldier serum to be sold on the black market, where the research would fetch a higher price than standard government contracting.

It was the hope of Peter's parents that they would have been able to expose Oscorp's attempts to weaponize their research and sell it to black market bidders. However, as we saw in the first two films, their plan does not come to fruition and they were subsequently murdered. The spiders remained the only viable data on Richard's work, but without the genetic information hidden away in Peter, there was never any hope of using the Parker's research in other areas. This is why Connors turned into the Lizard when he used what he thought was the completed formula. Without the other half of the research contained within Peter's blood, the formula can corrupt the host. This is also why the spider venom nearly killed Harry and made him go mad, and incidentally why the spider bite granted Peter powers and heightened vitality. Peter is the only one who has undergone the other half of the necessary treatment in order to complete the process. This also explains why, despite Oscorp having a lab filled with the modified spiders, no one else was turned into a "Spider-Man" once bitten. For any other person, the spider-bite is lethal, or highly volatile if someone has been exposed to half of the process (Harry, having not gone through half of the process like Connors, was only saved by the bio-suit he wore as the Goblin).

When Felicia discovers all of this, she realizes that it would put Peter and all of New York in danger were she to hand over the data. When she returns to Fisk, she attempts to lie and say that she found no conclusive information aside from data suggesting that the Spider Experiments are linked to the creation of the Goblin and the Lizard. However, Fisk informs Hardy that he knows she is lying because he had her followed by the Vulture, whom saw Hardy give a flash-drive to Ben Urich, a reporter at the Daily Bugle.

The Vulture, an impoverished Adrian Toomes, had his flight suit designs stolen by Osborn and integrated into the glider technology that we saw Harry use in the second film. Toomes, having already been fired from Oscorp because of his complaints about having his technology stolen, had no way to directly spy on the company, which is why Hardy was needed. Toomes allied himself with Fisk on the promise of being able to take down Oscorp and receiving a "generous" research stipend once Oscorp comes under Fisk's control. For having lied about the missing data, Fisk has Vulture drop Felicia's father from the top of a building while she watches.

Second Act
Meanwhile, Urich goes to Foswell, who also works at the Bugle as a reporter, and begins sharing some of the larger details about his new expose on the atrocities going on at Oscorp. However, what excites Urich the most is his opportunity to fulfill his longtime goal of conclusively proving that Wilson Fisk is The Kingpin of Crime. Urich explains that he has a source that is willing to divulge key information about Fisk's efforts to take on New York's other prominent crime lord, The Big Man. As Urich has this conversation with Foswell, Peter, who is also employed at the Bugle, eavesdrops on Urich and Foswell's conversation. Peter decides that he should pay Urich a visit as Spider-Man, to find out more details on what Urich knows. Unbeknownst to Peter or Urich, Foswell is Fisk's criminal adversary and is planning to have The Enforcers kill Urich and take his flash drive. Unbeknownst to Foswell, Fisk is sending the Vulture to do the exact same thing.

Urich heads down to his car and encounters Ox, Fancy Dan and Montana. As Ox begins breaking Urich's hand, Toomes swoops in and manages to repel the trio. Thinking himself saved by the Vulture, Urich prematurely begins to thank Toomes, who then pierces Urich's shoulder with the bladed tip of his glider wings. At this point, Spider-Man intervenes, and after a five-way battle between himself, the Vulture and the Enforcers, manages to escape with Urich and the flash drive. Spider-Man is able to convince Urich to surrender the flash drive, on the promise of keeping it safe and ensuring that Fisk will be brought to justice.
Peter returns to the hidden lab in the abandoned subway station and reviews the data on the drive and finally gets some closure about his life as Spider-Man and the loss of his parents. Included in the data is a video of Richard giving the "great power" speech, while acknowledging that he learned it from his brother Ben. It is because of Ben's philosophy, that Richard decided to take action against Osborn. Peter, now remembering the loss of Ben and the legacy of his spider-powers, is now fully committed to living out the philosophy of Ben Parker so that he may honor both his uncle and his father. Thinking about his Uncle Ben, Peter decides to visit May's house to check in on her.


Shortly after Peter's arrival, Felicia shows up at Aunt May's house. Knowing that Peter is Spider-Man, Felicia hopes to get his help. After Peter is initially freaked by Felicia's revelation, Peter pretends to take Felicia on a date so that the two of them can get out of the house and not incur further suspicion from Aunt May. Aunt May eventually feels at ease that Peter is dating someone, even if they are a little older, as it suggests that Peter is getting over Gwen.

With the drive now useless to Fisk, as Spider-Man is aware of the data and what Fisk is after, Fisk now needs Spider-Man brought in with less discretion.
Fisk sends the Vulture to assault a large crowd that has gathered downtown at a local store, to meet a famous actor. Noting how Spider-Man rushed to the defense of New Yorkers in the past, whenever a villain assaulted large crowds, Fisk hopes that Toomes' assault will have a similar effect.

Meanwhile, Foswell has an epiphany about Peter Parker's relationship to Spider-Man. Because Peter is too unassuming, Foswell doesn't believe Peter to be Spider-Man, but because Peter is the one taking most of the Bugle's Spidey photos and because Spider-Man conveniently intervened on behalf of Urich just after Foswell and Urich's conversation, Foswell concludes that Parker must have been eavesdropping on their conversation and that Peter must be aligned with Spider-Man, either as business partners, friends, an informant etc. This assumption convinces Foswell to seek out Peter Parker in an attempt to draw out Spider-Man. Foswell, having had casual conversations with Peter in the past, knows that Peter is currently a student of ESU and sends the Enforcers to set fire to a sorority fundraising gala being hosted at ESU. Knowing that Peter lives on campus, Foswell hopes that the immediate threat will draw him out and allow the Enforcers to take him down.

Upon finishing their conversation about all that Felicia knows about Fisk's plans, Peter and Felicia look up and see a news cast about the Vulture's assault on the celebrity gathering, and then see a separate report about the sorority fire in which everyone is locked inside the burning building while emergency workers are being kept at bay by a small group of criminal soldiers (the Enforcers). Peter remembers that Mary Jane is attending the gala, and wishes to go help his friend, but at the same time, he realizes that Toomes could cause far more damage in a shorter period of time if left unchecked. At first, Peter doesn't know which decision to make, until Felicia proposes that she help the fundraiser attendees escape the fire while Peter handles the Vulture. Unconvinced of the effectiveness of such a plan, and remembering what happened the second time that Gwen helped peter fight a villain, Peter is vehemently opposed to the idea of having Felicia assist him.

Felicia then proposes a plan in which Peter get's Felicia to Fisk Towers, where she can abscond with a prototype stealth suit, code named "Black C.A.T.S" (Covert Apparatus for Terrestrial Surveillance), one of Fisk's early attempts at creating technology for industrial espionage. With the suit, Felicia would be able to sneak in unnoticed and rescue the gala attendees. Additionally, the suit comes with retractable claws for scaling flat surfaces,a retractable zipline for rapid transport in urban environments and moderately enhanced strength.

Third Act
With no other choices and little time, Peter takes Felicia and swings toward downtown, the location of the celebrity gathering and Fisk towers. Once Felicia is placed near a ventilation shaft atop Fisk towers, Peter heads off to battle the Vulture. In battle, Toomes notices that Spidey doesn't naturally produce webs, but rather creates them with a device. Toomes then recognizes the synthetic webs as modified Oscorp tech, and as the handy work of Richard Parker. Knowing the fate of the Parkers, as he was employed at Oscorp when their murders were carried out, Toomes deduces the connection between Peter and Spider-Man. Toomes proposes that he and Peter team up because of their shared suffering.

Peter is at first adverse to Toomes proposal, but upon hearing Toomes personal story of suffering at the hands of Norman Osborn, Peter begins to consider the merits of teaming up with Toomes, whom he sees as an individual with the similar passion for redemption as his own. Peter believes that he may be able to steer Toomes toward a better path in the same way that Captain Stacy had helped him transition from vigilante to hero. Once Peter offers to help rehabilitate Toomes, Toomes rescinds his offer, perceiving Peter to be too weak of heart to do what is necessary to seek retribution against Oscorp. Toomes then comments that such fanciful thinking is likely what cost Gwen Stacy her life when Peter was confronted by Harry Osborn. An enraged Peter proceeds to thrash Toomes and destroy the anti-gravity unit that powers the wings. As Toomes falls from the sky, Peter has flashbacks about a falling Gwen. Even though Toomes has stirred his fury, Peter is committed to not allowing someone else to fall to their death. Peter successfully catches Toomes at the end of a long web line. As Peter pulls Toomes up, Toomes laments that he is without purpose if he can not have his revenge against Oscorp. With prison being his ultimate fate if pulled all the way up the web line, Toomes sees the other end, the fall downward, as a release from his hellish life. Toomes slashes wildly at the web line and continues his descent until he hits the pavement and dies.

Peter's anger subsides and is replaced with anguish as he chooses to feel guilty about Toomes' suicidal actions. However, Peter can not mourn for long as he remembers that Felicia was on her way to help rescue the attendees of the sorority gala. Peter zips toward ESU as quickly as he can. Meanwhile, on scene, Felicia has successfully obtained the suit, and has made her way to ESU, where SWAT and firefighters are being repelled by Foswell's men. Felicia activates the stealth suit and manages to make it past the Enforcers and into the gala hall. Using the retractable zipline and the enhanced strength offered by the suit, Felicia manages to rip open the hall doors, which had been welded shut by the Enforcers. With the attendees fleeing the smoke and flames, the Enforcers turn their attention toward the fleeing. Felicia charges into action and manages to best Fancy Dan and Montana, but is given a difficult time when facing Snake Marston, Ox and Hammer Harrison. Spidey arrives in time to even the odds, and Felicia and Peter successfully subdue the Enforcers and save the gala attendees.

Although the Vulture is dead and the Enforcers are under arrest, the Kingpin remains a looming threat because of his efforts to takeover Oscorp. Peter and Felicia return to Fisk towers to bring down the Kingpin, as Felicia is willing to testify against Fisk once he is captured. Peter and Felicia arrive to an already expectant Fisk who knew that Hardy had come to steal the suit. Fisk allowed Felicia to steal the suit so that the Enforcers would not have an opportunity to capture Spider-Man before the Vulture could attempt to do the same.

Fisk then commands Felicia to leave and for Spider-Man to stay behind so that Fisk's R&D department can begin researching the means of replicating the process that created Spider-Man. Feeling confident that the Fisk has no real means of enforcing such a demand, Peter and Felicia attempt to double-team Fisk. In response, Fisk activates a fail-safe on the Black C.A.T.S. suit, which causes the collar of the suit to constrict Felicia's throat. Peter attempts to help Felicia remove the collar, but soon learns that touching the collar releases an electric shock that could prove lethal if too many shocks are administered by failed attempts to remove the collar. Peter then attempts barter with Fisk, volunteering to stay and even help with the research so long as Fisk stops hurting Felicia.

Fisk expresses that he had no real intention of letting Felicia live, as he had bombs planted in her apartment, which would have killed her once she opened her door. Fisk initially offered to let her leave in order to get less resistance out of Spider-Man, but since Spider-Man already chose to resist, there was no need to maintain the illusion of Felicia's safety. Peter leaps into action against the Kingpin, expecting Fisk to be an easy target. Peter finds that Fisk is a formidable fighter and that his bulky size is attributable to near pound-for-pound muscle. With time running out for Felicia, Peter stops attempting to physically challenge Fisk and instead webs his mouth and nose shut, effectively suffocating Fisk. An enraged Peter spears Fisk as Fisk struggles to remove the webbing. Peter puts Fisk in a choke hold that accelerates Fisk's blackout, until Fisk finally loses consciousness. Peter gets hold of the remote to Felicia's suit and deactivates the fail-safe. After tearing the webbing off of Fisk's nose, Peter attends to Hardy, who at this point appears to have not survived the constriction collar. After several attempts at resuscitation, Peter believes all is lost, until Felicia gasps and takes a deep breath.

Three weeks later, Wilson Fisk is to stand trial for industrial espionage and his connection to the Vulture. The Big Man, now reigning over all of Wilson's old territories, is locked in a territory war with L. Thompson Lincoln (Tombstone). Urich, no longer satisfied with his expose on Wilson Fisk, is now devoted to finding out the identities of the Big Man and Tombstone. Urich, this time, shares his desires with Peter, explaining that he hopes to put an end to organized crime in New York by rooting it out the shadowy figures responsible. Peter responds by commending Urich for having such admirable desires, professing that if more people were like Urich, there would be no need for Spider-Man. Peter then gives Urich a paraphrased version of the "great power" speech, which encourages Urich to press forward with what he is doing, despite having some reservations about Urich once again becoming the target of crime lords.

MJ shows up at Peter's job, hoping that Peter will give her a second chance at making a better impression. Her near death experience at the gala has given her a new outlook on life and she wants to get to know Peter a bit better before assuming that the two of them wouldn't make a good couple. Urich returns Peter's kind words by reminding Peter that life is short and that fighting evil is a wearisome job that requires people to allow more light into their life. Of course, Urich is referring to the work of being a reporter, but Peter takes the advice as encouragement to not become so lost in being Spider-Man, that he forgets to enjoy being Peter Parker.

Peter and MJ begin making date plans when Peter hears the wail of sirens and makes an excuse about hoping to catch some good photos to sell JJJ. As Peter swings into action, he finds Felicia, in a modified version of her stealth suit, already swinging in the same direction. Felicia states that she has taken a liking to the thrill of costumed life and hopes that it gives her more opportunities to run into Peter's alter ego. Just then, Peter sees a group of Tombstone's men shaking down a mom and pop corner store. Felicia nods and the two separate. Felicia follows the sirens as Peter descends upon Tombstone's men.

Lol, too much to read with a wall of text like that. Maybe if you broke it down into smaller bite sizes with some headings for where the 3 acts are and have shorter paragraphs, it might be more readable.
 
My Original Treatment for Amazing Spider-Man 3

Its a wonderful story which would be a fanstastic idea for a comic book storyline, a novel or a live-action TV show

But for a movie it might be difficult to adapt,I think that's what happened with TASM2, the director and writers had a lot of ideas and characters, but as they began making the movie they realized they couldn't fit em all in so they started removing bits and pieces before, through out and even after filming (Mary Jane, Uncle Ben, Kafta's story line, Electro's mom, Osborn's reincarnation, Peter's dad and God knows what else) which made the story seem really disjointed

My idea for Spidey 2017

Keep the story simple, remove the focus on love story and only introduce MJ/Gwen, tell the origin story in 5 minutes in opening credits/flashbacks and start the story three-months post Spider-bite, Kingpin and Shocker as Main Villains and Norman Osborn as Background villain (like TSSM), focus on the college life and the teen/double-life/broke Peter (this was only done in SM2 so it is realtively fresh)

A couple of other cameos (Daredevil, Captain America and Fury would be my pick), get Nick Fury in after credits scene informing Peter's father work at Oscorp/SHEILD for a cancer curing/super-soldier (respectively) suit , BAM! Symbiote/Venom in Spider-man 2

This is why I appreciated the fact that the Middle-Earth movies all ran for about two and a half hours each (non-extended editions). Not that any film should drag on more than is necessary, but if there is an elaborate plot with solid payoff, then I would love to see longer films, just to avoid the kind of problems that are encountered by films such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, or even Daredevil (the director's cut is far better). As for my treatment, it was largely dependent upon the existence of the previous two Spider-Man films. I thought about what things could be done to simultaneously tell a new Spider-Man story on film, while addressing the mistakes of the first two films. Perhaps that contributed to some of the plot bloat for my treatment.
 
While that may be true to a degree, there's a reason why we can't start out with him in college. He got his powers in high school, so starting him out in college would make everyone wonder, "If he's in college, then he's had powers for a while now... So where the **** has he been every time someone was attempting to rip the earth a new *******?!"

Starting him off as a high school student, a few months after getting bit, some time following the destruction left by Ultron, and the lack of his inclusion within MCU after completing the first two phases makes more sense to the casual fan.

But because this is the third time Peter Parker is being introduced in high school, some things need to be done differently to avoid the feeling of being repetitive. Those things include limiting the Uncle Ben origin telling to a MAXIMUM of ten minutes, take the romance down a notch (at least for about 3 movies), and no more Goblins for a while. Start off with Shocker or Whirlwind, and maybe the Kingpin if he's still around for season 2 of Daredevil.

That's what Marvel has previously stated they had planned, and I'm sure that's the approach they're going to take. It's a good approach, and I'm going to trust that it will work, and will be executed very well.
