The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man General Discussion & Speculation Thread - - - - Part

It really sounds legit, and so awesome, I'm gonna love this. 23 days till I see it, I will post one hell of a review here.

Do wish there were more first person sequences though.

The only thing I'm a bit sceptical of is

Spoiler

The whole thing about his father changing Peter's DNA and that the spider that bites him activates is powers.

Yeah, this was also something that's been rumored quite some time ago, and if this is indeed true, I don't think it's going to sit well with a lot of fans, either.

Likewise,

Spoiler

the apparent confirmation that Peter becomes a vigilante BEFORE his Uncle Ben gets killed. Even though it seems they are still taking the basic story points of the original origin with this change, it kind of muddles the impact of the tragic lesson Peter learns, IMO. Because in the original origin, the point was that Peter didn't stop the Burglar because he believed it was not his job to do the work of the police and that he was more concerned about using his powers to become rich and famous. Crimefighting was the LAST thing on his mind, and would be for most people in his situation, which also helped readers better relate and identify with him. Here, it makes it sound like he starts out no different than the main character in Kick-Ass.

Why do you get to see it in 23 days?

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I hope it's true, too.

World (I think) premiere in Paris, with Andy, Emma, Rhys, Mark.

Cool. Are you a member of the press there?

 

[Gunther]

General, I have a question for you. Please find out : how many strength feats does Spiderman have, excluding the car scene where he saves the little boy? Anything extraordinary?

i dont get this, maybe i'm not following this correctly, but somethign smells fishy to me..
1. he says uncle ben dies, before he gets bit..
2. he says peter gets bit about 10-15- in the movie
3. he says uncle ben is in a good one third of the movie..
this contradicts each other..there is a few other things i noticed but anybody mind explaining? maybe i'm missing something..

His uncle doesn't die before he gets bit.

Another supposive quip:

Spoiler

Spidey see the Lizard running around the halls of the school:

(Something along the lines of): Really man? Running around naked? At least TRY to look good and pull it off!

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Spoiler

How did you find me here anyway?

Well I came here to tell people, and I saw you. I didn't think I had answered all your questions, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Oh, lol. I guess I'm kinda doing that for you, eh? lol

Hmmmmmm, trying to think of stuff.

So about the Peter and the spider. So is it radioactive?

It is left kind of open ended. I could see why because there is a lot going on in the film. I believe it is a combo of the radioactivity and genetic enhancements.

Did Peter's father do things to him as a kid, and the spider activates the powers, and he kinda had it all along? In simpler terms, if this spider bit someone other than Peter, do you think they would become "Spider-Man"?

It is just shown that Peter has a place in his DNA, (A "codon"), that activates the spider powers when he is bit. There is still mystery surrounding the ordeal.

This is what he told me about the DNA part.

I haven't read the spoiler tags, but I have a feeling that there is something disappointing in there.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

It's kinda meh.

His uncle doesn't die before he gets bit.

Spoiler

not according to what general typed..

1) Does Ben die before or after Parker becomes Spider-Man?

Before. Peter tries to a vigilante but let’s one guy get away for being irresponsible.

or maybe becoming spider-man and getting bit are two different things.. i just assumed they meant the same thing..

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Cool. Are you a member of the press there?

Nope, just a huge fan!

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Spoiler

I assume he tries it, but he's not as serious about it (being irresponsible) until Ben dies. Then he learns he has to be more serious about it. And I assume he doesn't wear the actual suit until he dies.

Yeah. Peter is bitten before he comes a vigilante. He later becomes Spider-man.

Spoiler

Connor's son is rarely seen, but is the motivation to Connors to try and create the Lizard serum.

I can't remember. Ver sorry. I'll try to think it over and get back ASAP.

How does Peter's spidey sense work and look?

Both. Marc Webb knows how to pick songs that fit mood, and James Horner is brilliant with the pieces he creates. Very energetic and vivid.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Nope, just a huge fan!

You are aware as to how much premiere tickets cost, right? The LA premiere for ASM costs $2,490.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Say what now?

 

[Gunther]

GeneralRaam582, in case my post was overlooked, please find out how many strength feats Spiderman has in the film. Anything extraordinary besides the scene were he holds/catches the car on the bridge? Thanks.

Spoiler

I would also assume that he doesn't make the actual suit until after Ben dies.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

He said I was right.

 

[mayo23]

Right about which part?

Spoiler

I would really like to know this though.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I'm sorry, Knight. Maybe he can get to me if he sees it again. Sorry.

Spoiler

So basically, he tries being a vigilante but isn't serious about it. Then Ben dies, and he becomes more serious about it, and makes the "classic" suit?

Yes, that is exact.
