Sequels Spider-man 4: The Quest for a Good Plot

[Quiest Tonpapa]

Hey All,

Sorry for the pun in the title, but it was part of what I'm guessing what will happen for the next Spider-man flick.

It has been discussed that some of the ideas and themes of the 3 films have been somewhat parallel to the Superman movies (ie Superman I: Origin, Superman II: remove powers, Superman III: Dark side of hero). What if the next movie will follow suit with Superman IV: The Quest for Peace?

Don't get me wrong, the last Reeve's film had some major flaws, but I can see a theme in there... In it, Superman tackled a major social issue (ie Cold War) by using his symbol to unite the countries to get rid of their nuclear weapons.

Granted, the story could have been a lot better (a -lot- better), the idea of getting a superhero to actually become a symbol for the people and encouraging them through the hero's actions as opposed of the superhero always coming in to clean up the problems.

I wouldn't go so far as to get Spider-man to join the army, instigate 9/11 propoganda and all that jive. But I could see Spider-man face crime syndicates that plagues the city. The comics have tons of material on them (Hammerhead, Silvermane, The Rose, Kingpin, etc.). You could also see the framing of Spider-man and the death of Captain Stacy in the strain of a mob war, etc..

The producers could go a sillier root like evil corporations who want to pollute the planet (let's hope not).

Throw in a sympathic supervillain that parallels with Peter's current anguish of the movie, and you've got a masterpiece worth $300 million!

Let's keep Spidey far away from "Superman" as far as possible. Superman can't hold his own tights up to Spidey's overwhelming success.

Fair enough, but even though the Spider-man franchise has rose above financially to the Superman films and that Spider-man 3 is much better to most than its counterpart, the parallel is there.

I personally would like to see a 'Peter Parker No More' theme as suggested by other posters. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if the writers had a similiar theme for the fourth film.
