The Amazing Spider-Man The Changed Origin

I was watching TASM again today, and thinking about the whole idea of Peter's origin being changed. Dr. Connors said that no subject has ever survived a cross-genetics experiment, but Peter has in fact survived and did not turn into a giant Spider. The changed origin would have explained that Peter survived due to his father experimenting on him. Since that was cut out of the movie, how will the writers explain this in the future?

In the comic books, Peter does in fact turn into a giant spider. If the whole origin is kept accidental, then they could go the same route in the movies, and turn him into a "Man-Spider." Kraven the Hunter could be called upon to capture the creature, while the transformed Peter Parker goes to Dr. Connors for help to turn him back to a human.

Another option is that at some point, they do reveal that Peter's father experimented on him, and his origin wasn't an accident. I doubt this will happen.

A third option is that Peter surviving the spider bite will be left as a plot hole for this franchise.

 

To add onto the origin remaining accidental, in order to turn himself back into a human, he goes to Connors to find a cure. He then experiments on himself and turns himself back into a human, and NOW his blood is capable of becoming a cure for Norman Osborn (rather than his father experimenting on him, making that the reason for Peter surviving the spider bite).

 

I like the idea of Richard hiding the formula to successful cross species genetics in the spiders.

 

Not necessarily. It could also be fixed with another explanation.

 

Connors said that no subject has survived a cross-species genetics experiment. Peter was a cross-species genetics experiment, survived and did not turn into a giant spider. The movie does not explain this, therefore it is a plot hole.

The explanation was probably going to be that Peter was experimented on, or there was something in his blood that prevented him from dying after getting bit. Dr. Ratha reveals that what happened to him was not an accident. However, this whole subplot was removed, hence the plot hole.

 

Maybe Norman will realize what the spider has done to Peter and use one of them to cure him. But since each spider is unique, it will end up turning him into a Goblin.

I also like how you explain that the decay rate algorithm was for spiders, and did not translate well for reptilians.

I love your theories/explanations!!! And who knows, if Sony ever decides to go the Miles Morales route, they could (since there is a whole room full of spiders).

That's a good way of looking at it! After watching the show LOST, I love to theorize about movies and shows I watch!

Spider biting a human, and passing on its DNA giving the human some of its qualities... its cross-species. However, that is true, they only inject subjects with the serum, and do not let them get bitten by spiders.

 

BTW, did anyone notice when Peter is in the room full of spiders, when all of them start to fall, one of them gets electrocuted by the machine holding the web before it bites Peter?

And as he pulls the web out of his neck, and finds the spider dangling, it sounds like its full of electricity?

Even though the spiders are supposed to be bred, they still were sort of "radioactive"

 

What does producing more silk have to do with anything? The point is he passed on spider qualities to Peter, making him a subject of cross-species.

 

As of now, all they are doing is producing web. But if you listen to the conversation between Connors and Peter in his home, he mentions how Richard Parker bred the spiders and the results of the cross-species experiments were phenomenal. They weren't just breeding spiders to harvest their webbing.

 

haha its okay I didn't catch onto that until the third time I watched the movie.
