No Way Home The Road To No Way Home: The Previous Spider-Man Movies Rewatch Thread

[GwensNeckBrace]

Say what you will about the TASM films, but this moment was adapted so flawlessly. Andrew's delivery at the end is so heartbreaking.

In the years before Spiderman films were ever possible, there were live action commercials

1980s old school video game with Spiderman and Green Goblin


1992 PSA for voting in the upcoming election in The USA


1997 commercial for webshooter toys


2000 Universal studios in Florida ad with Spiderman and Doc Ock.
After seeing this commercal, I was convinced they could pull off Ock in a Spiderman movie.

And that's not even counting the numerous attempts at getting a live-action Spider-Man movie underway before the millennium.

I remember back in 2010 Logan Lerman was tipped to be the new Spidey. I really think he could have been good in the role, I think he would have been like a mix between Holland and Garfield.

He was who I was rooting for in 2010. Speaking of which , two articles about the two times he was up for the part

Im really sad Canon never got to make that movie. I feel like it wouldve ended up being a cult classic, one of those so bad but so entertaining movies.

 

[Frodo]

Depending on which Canon script they went with, and whether they had the money, the Canon cast they were shooting for included

Tom Cruise as Peter Parker

Lauren Bacall as Aunt May

Bob Hoskins as Doctor Octopus

Stan Lee as J.Jonah Jameson

Even though it's hard for me to see the Tom Cruise post Top Gun as Peter , in Risky Business(1983) he actually plays a less confident, nerd, who, by the end of it, comes out of his shell, and takes on confidence, cockiness, and swagger.

He actually does a very good job in the role, and it's the only time I've ever seen him play someone close to a Peter Parker type.

That film came out around the time Canon was developing a Spiderman film , and it was Cruise's first big hit film, so I could see why they would think of him as a potential Peter Parker circa 1983-1985.

 

[ernesth100]

It was down to Asa Butterfield, Dylan O'Brien, Logan Kerman, Charlie Rowe and Tom Holland around 2015. There's fan trailers for all of them online. Except Rowe because I don't think he had any prior major acting roles.

That reminds me. Before Holland, this ad made Spider-Man fans go crazy with theories that Marvel and Sony would be on good terms eventually.



Hell it was almost true because they planned to set TASM2 in the MCU.

 

[ernesth100]

And since we're talking about unrealized plans. This story animatic for Spider-Man 4 recently surfaced featuring their Vulture.

 

[ernesth100]

Was watching Spider-Man 3 and Eddie really went to church and asked to KILL A MAN. Because he lost his job.


No one else found that insane?

 

[Arachnerd]

Pretty sure that scene has been mocked for that very reason lol

 

[Nardz937]

He prayed to God and the devil answered.

Great scene.

 

[Green Goblin]

On the topic of unrealised plans... I would actually like to see Drew Goddard's Sinister Six movie see the light of day.

It featured Gorg as the main villains, time travel portals/Savage Land/Dinosaurs and Sandman would be as tall as a skyscraper rampaging through London in the finale. It sounds totally f***ing nutts, like serious James Gunn vibes to it which I like.

Plus having the likes of Michael Keaton, Jake Gyllenhaal etc in it would sweeten the deal.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

He prayed to God and the devil answered.

Great scene.

It's pretty terrible.

Especially since in the comics, Eddie was praying to God for forgiveness because he contemplated suicide and he was a devout catholic.

It was a very human moment. Eddie felt like a real person.

The irony and subtext is what makes the scene great. Exploring Eddie's Christianity wasn't necessary in this iteration.

Then why even bother including the church scene if his Christianity wasn't necessary?

The idea of a grown man praying to God to take another man's life is so laughable and cringe worthy.

It's just bad writing.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Meh! there is worse writing in SM3.

Because he was told too. We didn't need to explore any potential upbringing of Eddie's faith when it was all condensed into this.

So Peter told him to seek forgiveness through religion and Eddie decided to ask God to murder someone? LOL

That is so hilariously stupid!

It makes Eddie look like a complete imbecile. Does he actually believe God will strike Peter down because he asked for it.

It's a **** scene and it was done MUCH better in the comics, with far more maturity and poise.

Why do you think people pray for? People of all different religions pray for all sorts of things. For answers and guidance, etc. You can think it's silly to expect something to happen just because someone prayed to God for it to happen (even something as crazy striking someone down), but again pleading to God in prayer for help and answers is a very normal part of Christianity.

You were complaining about a lack of Christianity being shown when it comes to Eddies character but once it does you think it's silly?

Eddie prayed to God for Peter to be killed and moments later something worse seemingly answered ,giving him all the power to do just that himself.

You've missed the plot.
