The Amazing Spider-Man What do you want out of Spider-man 4???

[TheWrathOfGod]

I noticed that there wasn’t an all-purpose thread for what the fans want from a fourth Spider-man film. What would you like to see, what needs to be avoided?

Personally I think the franchise is hanging by a thread (pun intended) and I don’t see the creative motivation for making another film. Spider-man 3 should have taught us that studio greed ruins motion pictures. But since this project is already underway I have a few suggestions…

Don’t feel the need to make Spider-man “dark” or “edgy” just because of the success of The Dark Knight. A developed storyline is much more important. Spider-man isn’t Batman.

Avoid calling it “Spider-man 4.” This film should be a new beginning for the franchise and it should have a refreshing title. Call it “The Amazing Spider-man”, or just have a Spider-man symbol for the title.

Change the suit to match the comics. Add some webbing under the arms! No more gore-tex!



This story should take place later on in Spider-man’s career. The public should hate him and Peter Parker should be over his head in trouble. Seeing Peter as a science teacher would be great.



Forget MJ, have her move to California. Let Peter Parker mature on his own and find a new love interest.



Focus on Peter Parker’s story, not on the villains.



Find a good reason to make this movie other than the money!!! Raimi needs to go back and rediscover what he loves about the character. Once he does this the story should simply fall into place.

Some rock music would also be great...t:

I doubt SM will go in that direction. Like you said, it's not Batman.

Just because SM3 was dark, it doesn't mean all SM Movies will be dark from now on..

Seriously? Come on.

Change the suit to match the comics. Add some webbing under the arms! No more gore-tex!

That will suck.

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

You actually believe that SM3 is dark? 139 minutes of people crying is SO edgy...please.

And the red white and blue gore-tex needs to go, sorry. A nerdy college student from queens isn't going to have a suit like that. Give Spider-man some dignity back, get rid of the wet suit.

You really think people want to go see "SPIDER-MAN 4", the sequel to Spider-man 3? Raimi and Sony need cut off all ties to that abomination. The Amazing Spider-man is a fine title.

^ compare it too 1 and 2 it was pretty dark

How so? These movies are aimed at children...

 

[LightningFlash]

I want Sam Raimi out of Spider-Man 4.

And Tobey and Kirsten.

Very understandable. Raimi is better off doing three stooges laden horror.

 

[LightningFlash]

Drag Me To Hell looks like ****.

No wonder Ellen Page left the project.

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

Drag Me To Hell looks like ****.

No wonder Ellen Page left the project.

That's because it's PG-13 and has the Apple kid in it.

 

[LightningFlash]

They could've made it work with PG-13 though.

Take Eric Kripke as an example...he's a superb genius; he can make the TV series Supernatural scary as hell and not be so gory.

What To Avoid:
-Having Peter's face being seen when he is in the spidey costume.
-MJ,do not focus the whole movie on her,have her leave town to pursue acting.
-Don't reveal spidey's identity to the villains.
-Don't make up villains (New Goblin).
-Don't give a backstory to every villain,just have them show up,(like the Joker did).
-No long boring Aunt May stories,or speeches.
-Don't have characters be in the movie unless they have good character development.
-Don't connect the villains to Peter,they will be connected when Peter faces them as spider-man(Like Batman did with Joker).
-No cheesy scenes (JJ in the spidey costume for example).
-No damsel in distress for the final battle,spidey will have to face the villain anyway since he will be the only one who could stop them.

What To Do:
-More spidey jokes when he is fighting the villains.
-wall crawling.
-longer fight scenes.
-More spidey.
-Final web swing after the movie.
-New fight locations.(Inside a movie theater,on college campus,in the Daily Bugle,the sewers,freeway,steel mill,a mall,in a prison,etc).
-More JJ.
-More ways to show how smart Peter is.
-Spidey taking on more thugs.
-Web zipping.
-An opening scene of spidey fighting a classic villain,like Shocker.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I want this movie to have Daredevil in it, and not Spider-Man.

 

[Superhero 101]

This movie needs more action ditch the love crap. Give the audience what they want a nice battle with no silly reporters nararrating the damn fight.

I think Gold Goblins list touches on everything I'd like to see and not see, I would really only add one more item to things I'd like to see list

1. - Continue with the short, but humorous interludes throughout the flow of the movies as he has in the first three films.

Example:

Spiderman 1 - Peter's web getting stuck on the food tray in the cafeteria and then nailing MJ's boyfriend in the back of the head. Or even when he is first learning to webswing and then plants his face into the brickwall.

Spiderman 2 - The Pizza slice being snagged away from the guy on the apartment balcony as he is about to bite into it, or howabout the elevator scene where the tenant engages Peter in conversation about the cool spidey costume.

Spiderman 3 - Tried to inject comedic moments into the storyline, but they came off as forced and didn't work as effectively as they did in the first two films.

When they cutaway to JJJ asking the kid for a camera, right in the middle of the climactic showdown? That was completely unecessary and it felt forced.

 

[bulletbillx]

I want an unsympathetic villain. I know Raimi can do it too since he created the Deadites, Durant, and Evil Ash.

Agreed!

I want to see a spidey movie that shows the full range of his powers and I mean the full range.

In spidey 1 with the end sequence you got to see the full range of spidey's swinging.

In spidey 2 you got to see the full range of spidey's ability to stick to surfaces and swinging in the train fight you also got to see his strenght when he stops the trian.

basically I want to see the whole spectrum;
spider sense
strength
wall crawling
swinging
agility

all at once in massive spidey fight. anyone who watches the spectacular spider man who saw the episode group therapy will know what I'm talking about.

oh, I also want more wise cracks.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Me too. Skip the Lizard or make him a filler. MacGargan should be the main villain.

Sympathetic villains:
- Lizard
- Kraven
- Electro
- Rhino

Unsympathetic villains:
- Shocker
- Scorpion
- Carnage (leave it for the fifth).

Weirdos
- Mysterio
- Vulture

So my pick for the villain is Scorpion, mercenary who turns the table on his boss. Cletus Cassidy for next one.

 

[JerseyJoker]

How can you want something out of a movie that hasn't even started to shoot a single scene yet? -_-

 

[Nathan]

A new Mary Jane and Peter Parker.

No, SM3 is just a wannabe dark movie, that's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

About the suit, ok, it's your oppinion which I disagree with. But in the end, it doesn't really matter for me as long as the movie is done properly.

What I meant about the title is that I actually don't care about such small details. They can call it whatever they want.

 

[Venom'sDad]

I want some slick, intelligent, intriguing writing that is more mature with a realistic theme and motivation.

The word "realistic" and Spidey shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Honestly, what I want from Spider-man 4 is for the feel of Spider-man 2 to be carried across. Sam came very close to hitting the nail on the head there, and he should have carried on in the same vain. That being said, I don't want a carbon copy of SM2 but that kind of corny/drama works well for Spider-man and makes for a very enjoyable - yet heartfelt - film.

 

[Venom'sDad]

I'm sorry, but as far capturing the essence of Spiderman and his supporting cast and villain in SM2, no, Sam did not hit the nail on the head.

Look, IMO, fans are so in awe over SM2 because of the great battle scenes and DocOck horror scene in the hospital; but when I look pass that, I see the character and supporting cast much to be desired... except for Harry. Sam is trying to mix Classic with Ultimate, and a little of his own feel; and quite frankly, I for one don't like it. For a person who claims to know the character so well, he is doing a bang up job in my opinion.
