The Amazing Spider-Man which spidey power has been given the LEAST justice?

[©KAW]

Spider-Man as a character was given the least justice.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Technically, he still had his mask on in SM1 when Goblin's glider shot towards him from behind and he dodged it(even though the mask was mostly torn).

 

[ITheSymbioteI]

In the Spiderman movies,the Spider Sense was givin the least justice.I hope it's improved upon in Spiderman 4.

Did I really read this?

On a ****ing SPIDER-MAN FORUM?!?

I dunno whether to laugh or facepalm :/

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

^ Same here...*sigh*

 

[Hypestyle]

more spider-sense stunts need to take place.

I also want to see some spider-gadgets for once. Several kinds, preferably. Show Peter's science skills.

Spider Sense. The amount of times it should have gone off in the original trilogy and didn't was ridiculous.

I think a lot of people have issue withe Peter not being portrayed as a genius and tbh i'm pretty glad he isn't, intelligent and well read for sure but i don't think the character needs to be sold as the smartest kid who ever lived.

The webshooters, i understand why they were dropped in the first place, it's much easier, the audience already is accepting of Peter getting crazy powers from a spider, why waste screen time and chance something the audience might not accept for something that once the plot gets going is mostly irrelevant. He shoots web, why waste 10 minutes of the film going into how and why when it can come about the same way as the rest of his powers?

Spider-sense. tbf if done correctly Spider-sense kills a lot of tension, and removes quite a bit of the danger he's in. Cheap scares work in film, the audience(mostly* i'm sure some in here would be quick to tell me they don't) nearly always reacts to them, it gets the adfenaline going and gets people to feel more involved with whats going on, also creates a genuine sense of threat around the antagonist. Peter going into spider-sense and everything going slow, totally takes all that away. it almost makes Spider-man too good.
We know the person sneaking up is never really going to finish off spider-man which is why it works in the comics, everything happens at the same pace and he dodges as usual it's just shows with the little spider sense logo above his head. The spider-sense is usually shown after/during the dodge, where as on film you have to show it before the event, then you've ruined the surprise. It's doesn't make it worse or better it's just that some things don't work as well in film, it's possible spider-sense is one of them. He got amazing reflexes and speed, in all honestly if he has those in the film i wouldn't miss spider-sense too much.

Wall crawling, now that's something i want to see more of!

Yes! Cannot wait to see wall crawling used with practical effects on film.

Not necessarily. His Spidersense could be going off alerting him of impending danger but that doesn't mean that he will know exactly what is coming and when and from what direction. His spider sense if done correctly could be like any other power meaning that it can have different forms. Plus, it's also a new ability for him so he probably hasn't mastered it quite yet so there is room for growth. It actually can help to heighten the adrenaline cause his spider sense could go off and then use tight camera angles, just like in horror films, so that you know something is coming just not when. That added with some good musical compositions and you'll have a pulse pounding piece of film. It happens all the time in horror flicks where someone is walking down that dark alley and everyone in the audience knows something is gonna happen but you don't know how or when. If done properly the element of surprise can still be used.

Yeah I thought about that too but it still showed his eye expressing the spider sense indication. I hated how much he took off his mask.

 

[Spider-Who?]

I'm going to saw wall-crawling. It's *his* thing. No one else does it like he does. And when I say wall crawling, I'm also lumping his standard movement and poses, too. One of the biggest issues I had with the Raimi films was that they constantly had Spidey just STAND THERE. John Romita once said that Spidey should always be doing something. He should never be standing there like a regular person. Whether its crouching on a ledge, hanging from a webline, sitting in a web hammock, etc, he needs to be more like a spider.

Second in line would be spider-strength.

Third would be spider-sense, although I'm not torn up about how it's been played before. Its such a weird power, that to show it in some form EVERY SINGLE time is over kill and risks taking you out of the drama. I think Raimi had the right idea - give us one or two instances where you hit us over the head with it so we know he's got spider-sense (ie Flash fight and cab). Then for everything else, just be smart about how you choreograph the fights.

Aside from all that's been mentioned, his acrobatic reflexes and agility haven't really been displayed to their full potential.

Sure, he's been shown to be very flexible and react to things very quickly, but we haven't really seen him flipping over buildings and dodge things that would injure a normal person. Basically, the things a professional gymnast could do at their peak, but with Spidey's enhanced strength and reflexes.

From what RealIronMan said about Spider-Man's acrobatics in the new footage he saw, it seems like we might be getting just that.

 

[MrSpyder]

I would say spidey sense

 

[spider-neil]

I thought the first instance of the spider sense was rubbish. peter is about to be punched by flash and the camera pans to a fly, a spit ball then then flash's fist. I know the scene is supposed to show potention danger but that scene made absolutely no sense whatsoever and I only knew what was going on because I am familar with what the spider sense IS and what it does.
what danger does the fly posess? or the spit ball (that was no where near him), according to that scene spidey's spider sense would go off when it's raining and the raindrops are coming towards him.

I realise it must be hard to show a tingling sensation when spidey is in 'danger' but there must be a better way then the one shown in SM1. if you actually SHOW the danger like the 70's TV series (a red tinted scene of the danger) then the audience will think that spidey actually 'sees' the danger and he doesn't.
if you do what spider-man and his amazing friends did and have his eyes light up then the audience would literally think spidey's eyes light up (iceman hilariously comments on spidey's glowing eyes in one episode DOH!)

show how the spider-sense works the first time and then every instance after that show a simple graphic.

personally if it were up to me I would have someone attack spidey and the screen distorts to blur everything other than the potential danger, and then later if there is danger but not immediate (for instance if lizard is in the next room) then I would distort the entire screen for a split second.

 

[Golgo-13]

^That one didn't bother me as much as the time when MJ is about to slip with the tray in her hand. Why the hell would it go off then? It sopposed to go off when he's in danger....

They could have easliy jsut portrayed the spidey sense just like in the comics, only have the area around his head become distorted and ripple......

The spidey power that has definately been shafted in the Raimi films is the wall crawling.

He's now a Spider. Flys are tasty treats.
