    I loved the idea of SpiderMan catching those 2 cops using excessive force and stops them which is why he’s seen as an enemy to the NYPD. That would’ve added some nuance to Peter’s commitment to justice regardless of who is in the wrong.

    • @adronius147
      @adronius147 Před 9 měsíci +54

      Very important I feel like, because superheroes start to seem kinda iffy to me if their sense of justice is dictated by the law, so they're essentially just supercops (even if they're not formally affiliated with the police) and therefore serve the establishment and enforce the status quo, for good or ill.
      With Spider-Man this was almost extreme in the Insomniac game, where he not only works very closely with the police, he literally goes around activating surveillance towers that even JJJ calls Orwellian. I feel like superheroes should be guided by a higher morality, punishing wrongdoers for doing wrong, regardless of what side of the law they're on.

    I absolutely love this scriptment and it's darker tone that pre-dated The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) right down to having the same title. But I doubt it was gonna be Rated R considering it would've come out after Batman Returns and TMNT's negative backlash for being too dark and after the 1994 show was super successful for kids. I feel by the time it got to script form, it would've had to be censored by the studio or even during filming or editing. People forget that a movie never is the same as it was in it's script form. And even then, the darker stuff in the story was common in a lot of PG-13 films with Peter only saying just one F-bomb. And the love scene on the Brooklyn bridge isn't ethically graphic either. I feel people who read this Scriptment over exaggerate things. One thing for sure, the movie would've had amazing special effects that were mixed with practical and CGI at a time when Cameron was really good with visuals on set. Overall, the Scriptment is not as bad as everyone says it is. And it was even approved by Stan Lee himself. So there's that.

      Thank God Raimi's version made it to the big screen and not James Cameron. Now this might be personal bias talking since Raimi Spider-Man was the first superhero flick I saw in cinema as a child, however, i believe the Sam Raimi version set the perfect tone for what an movie Spider-Man should look and feel like, a tone that even the Webb and MCU are influenced by. The call backs of the Raimi films from the Into the Spiderverse series shows how impactful that version was to a lot of people especially children who grew up to be the people Behind "Into the Spiderverse" and other Spider-Man media like the ps4 games etc. A film being R-rated doesn't automatically make it good. And not everything needs to be R-rated. You can have family friendly films that become timeless classics

      Spiderman didn't kick off the MCU though. Sony still owns Spiderman film rights to this day and if anything, the Raimi spiderman kicked off the sonyverse. So if Carolco would've gotten the rights it would've ended up being the Carolcoverse if anything. Iron Man was the film that really kicked off the MCU, although technically The Incredible Hulk (2008) actually kicked it off, since that film is canon considering General Ross showed up in the end credits of Iron Man and mentioned the events that had happened in The Incredible Hulk.

It would have been like the Dark Knight releasing pre X-Men. They would instantly greenlight a sequel and then look to add as many characters to that roster of movies.

    I love it. many of the dark and strange turns seem 'weird' but these are the things that made movies memorable. nowadays they all seem made in an assembly line with cookie cutter stories and visuals. a late 90s james cameron spiderman starring leo dicaprio would've looked amazing, probably done titanic level numbers on the box office, and the superhero movie landscape would've been completely different today.

    But I’m really fascinated by the idea of a James Cameron comic book movie where he was more or less allowed to do whatever he wanted. Also I hate the organic web shooters lol, I get it it’s for the sake of simplicity in the movies but holy fuck just let Peter be smart too and let him make web shooters, the alternative is disgusting😂

      I guarantee his film would've been better. Raimi is a shit director/producer and 90% of his work has been utter trash. And even when the Spiderman trilogy first came out I thought it was mostly mid. I simply got excited because it was basically the only option to seeing a superhero on the big screen. The movies got cornier with each installment and the casting wasn't that great aside from Willem Dafoe and JK Simmons. Albeit Willem's costume was horrible and they should've toned down JK Simmons. He was like a caricature.

      X-Men had too many miscasts except Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier because Marvel based the character off of that actor from Star Trek.
      Also, my least favorite in Spider-Man 1 was James Franco as Harry Osbourne because I don’t see him as Willem Dafoe's son at all, and his New Goblin is too bland.
      The role of Harry Osbourne back in 2002 should’ve went to 21-year-old Macaulay Culkin instead.

      As a die-hard fan of Marvel Comics, I REALLY hated the casting. Not only that, I hated almost everything about the "X" films.
      The video games *X-Men Legends 1 & 2* were far better 2000s adaptations than what 20th Century Fox gave us.
      On the X-Men:
      • The Wolverine/Logan I prefer is the fan-made Jonathan Carroll depiction.
      • James McAvoy as Xavier is comparable to Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
      • Halle Berry is as terrible at being an African every other foreign character (Pyro and Colossus).
      • Cyclops and Rogue were turned lame and weak.
      • Famke Jannsen doesn’t come close to being as hot as Jean Grey.
      • Nightcrawler's depiction was too shallow.
      • Beast looked like a blue Teen Wolf.
      • Iceman bored me.
      On the Brotherhood:
      • I see nobody for the role of Old Magneto except Daniel Day-Lewis or Jeremy Irons.
      • Michael Fassbender is way too IRISH to play Young Magneto, and he looks more like Matt "Daredevil" Murdock.
      • I have no idea why Mystique looks nude, gross and splotchy.
      • They did Juggernaut the worst.
      • They didn’t even try with Pyro.
