Homecoming "Spider-Man Summit" Thread

About Spidey's whereabouts during Avengers 1...

I really don't think it's such a huge issue. There are any number of things he could have been doing, such as:

• Kidnapped by a villain (The Jackal's MO, but take your pick)
• Fighting a villain underground, in a far off part of the city (would have been completely oblivious until after the fact)
• Could've been in an area so densely occupied that it would've been impossible to leave without giving up his identity (Hell, he could've been among the people Cap saved from the Chitauri)
• Could've been in the hospital with a severe injury (or refusing to leave the bedside of a loved one in that situation)

Either way, little details like this are small potatoes. If the movie is good, the last thing that's gonna be on my mind is "Where the hell was this guy in Avengers!?"


I'll just be enjoying the ride.

Or they could just decide for him not to have been bitten yet.

Yeah, just saying. A rebooted Spidey we don't know when he became Spidey. It may very well be after the Invasion of New York. But, if it wasn't, I just offered the usual Parker luck answer to his whereabouts.

i would go with that and the fact that he will be sorrounded by already existing heroes and a bigger universe could lead to him wanting to become a hero (him beeing an Tony or Captain fan, idk)

Feige already said Civil War won't be about secret identities.

As for explaining where Spidey was during the events of Avengers, easy, just say he wasn't Spider-man at that point. Any MCU film with Spidey in would probably be years after Avengers & at least a year after Age of Ultron.

Pick up the film with Pete already operating as Spidey, but he's only been doing it about a year.

maybe a netflix series, look at Agents of Shield and Flash, i think it could work... street level hero first

That's the simplest. Depending on which movie he shows up in, let's say CA: CW, I'd have him operating probably no longer than six months. Make it sort of like the beginning of Spectacular Spider-Man, where he has finished his first summer as Spider-Man (a few months) but has not faced a super villain yet.

That's my ideal! Get Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, & Maurissa Tancharoen on that.

Side note if they do go this direction (which I doubt), I know a lot of you don't want an origin, but I could see the first half of season one of Pete before being bit, developing all the characters. Then midway, do the origin, and the second half of the season trying to adjust.

 

[bapi]

And where was Iron Man during Cap 2? Or Thor? Or Banner? Seriously... general audience don't care.

 

[SpideyK]

^Agreed.

Pretty much every MCU film not set in NYC, can be explained by it simply wasn't Spidey's business.

With the ones having taken place in NYC, they can just explain it by him not being Spidey yet.

 

[Micromind]

I want to know why J Jonah Jameson kept quiet all these years when other superheroes were surfacing, having him rant over Spider-Man and keeping quiet about Iron Man, Thor and Hulk makes no sense.

 

[MrSpyder]

Hopefully in January things will be clearer

 

[HarryOsborn]

According to the storyboards, there is. A one year jump would be the only way to explain ASM2 being set in 2014. Without the jump, it wouldn't work.



I don't know why Gwen hasn't gone off to college yet, but quite evidently, Pete did.

So, either Pete did go to college, or he's lying to his aunt and stole a tea cup from ESU.

Have you graduated high school? I remember summer after I did I said I was in college now, even though I hadn't actually moved into my dorm. Plus everyone I knew started rocking their schools gear right when they got in. Afterall you are a college student the moment you enroll, and you're no long a high school student when you graduate. I'm just saying there was little evidence he was actually in college, and while both of us are making assumptions, mine are less of a stretch than the valedictorian not enrolling upon graduation.

Edit-
Also Peter was just stated to be a high school student in Amazing spider-man, high school spans 4 years, he could have easily been a junior if there is infact a two year difference.

JJ doesn't like vigilantes, as I said earlier iron man is an industrialist public figure who fights terrorists, captain america is a government employed war hero with a public identity, Thor is a god who only deals with the greater threats to earth, and the hulk is a scientist who tries to keep himself from going green. Spider-man is a masked vigilante acting as a police officer of sorts, stopping robberies and petty crooks. He also has a secret identity, he's quite different than the established heroes in the MCU.

 

[Flint Marko]

It's nowhere near as much of an issue as some think it is.
Also, how many people here read comics? I can't count how many times Spider-man has been fighting someone threatening the entire city and had to defeat it on his own. It's just a genre convention you're going to have to accept.

 

[Chris B]

Nah... I think the best course of action is to do a quasi-sequel within the reboot. Audiences have seen 2 (3 counting Franco) Green Goblins, Doc Ock, Sandman, The Lizard, Electro, Rhino, and Venom. They need to do a movie with an established Spider-Man, with an established rogues, Gwen still dead, with Mary Jane, and pickup in the middle of a new story. The audience doesn't need a new origin, or a bunch of new villain origins too. Also no more bs with Peters parents!

I haven't been a fan of the TASM films, I'd be inclined to do the same thing: a TIH-style reboot that is its own thing but doesn't entirely disavow the previous film(s).

Neither am I, but I still paid money to see them and followed the stories. Even if I think they could have been done better, Gwen's been done, Harry and his fall has been done, let's go in with a Spider-Man who's experienced these comic story arcs and pick up from there. I think the raimi fans were so upset with the reboot for the very reason that they spent years with the characters only to suddenly have their continuity not only erased but redone. Star Trek fans were the same way the Abrams flicks. This TIH style reboot would best please both raimi and Webb fans I think.

Easiest way to go about it!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Are we asking what I hope or think?

My hope is soft reboot of the series with an established Spider-Man under the MCU banner made by Sam Raimi (the hacked emails have indicated that Sony has reached out to him). That I would die for.

that sounds amazing

 

[Flint Marko]

I loved Raimi's first two movies but the possibility of his involvement wouldn't exactly excite me.

Why not? He's the Bryan Singer of Spidey

 

[hippie_hunter]

Sinister Six in 2016, Spider-Man 3 in 2018, New writers for Venom and a 2017 film. Kurtzman to write Venom and ASM3. Webb will return as they said in SDCC. This is official news.

Newest hacked e-mails reveal that Venom is dead, that Kurtzman is no longer writing Amazing Spider-Man 3, and many within Sony are questioning Sinister Six.

 

[Moridin]

And where was Iron Man during Cap 2? Or Thor? Or Banner? Seriously... general audience don't care.

In Cap2, Stark was at Avengers Tower as we see from the Insight Satellite targeting system.
But Steve couldn't actually contact anyone of his regular buddies when he was on the run because SHIELD would be monitoring them all. That's why he went to Sam Wilson, who was a completely new contact, rather than Banner or Stark, etc.

Just because it isn't explicitly stated why, doesn't mean there isn't a logical explanation included in the story.

I'm a fan of the Raimi SM movies but I'd like to move on.
