My question is WHY?!?! The whole idea that Peter gets bit by the spider while basically on a "mission" to investigate shady sh** involving his parents and OSCORP is just overdoing it to me. It kind of betrays the simplicity of Peter's origin, and furthermore overshadows some of its more vital elements. 'Cause as it stands, the movie we're being sold right now is "Peter Parker, suspicious of his parents death, seeks the truth, and by a freak accident, gains the power to properly avenge them. By comparison, Uncle Ben's just some old dude he lives with!"
In their defense, this is the second origin film in 10 years....they had to shake it up. It doesn't betray the original origin, but does change it.
I'm SURE Uncle Ben will play a pivotal role in this film, or Martin Sheen wouldn't have taken the role.... We already got the Uncle Ben centric origin in Rami's films, and it was done very well.... What we never saw was the story of Richard and Mary Parker....
I'm all for this new take, so long as they keep the story true to the idea of the comics.
