Spider-Man Film Discussion Thread

I didn't mind the strange goblin suit, i just thought that it needed to be (a) a little more intense, like the first design, and (b) it needed purple SOMEWHERE in it. I just hope the potentially new goblin isn't ultimate GG, i HATED THAT CHARACTER! But yes, i would develope normans character up to the end of 2 show him becoming the green goblin, and then the final fight sequence should be the death of gwen stacey, finally DONE RIGHT! Just my opinion of course.

Since they are going to reboot Spidey, they should go slow with it.  Let Spidey fight thugs and stuff first and then maybe go up against the Kingpin.  You can have Norman on the sidelines and build him up for the second or third movie.

Since Spider-Man 4 is "officially dead", maybe we can move reboot speculation into a separate thread?

Just a suggestion.  Seems odd to be going on about a reboot in a Spider-Man 4 thread, especially one whose title suggests Bruce Campbell is involved.

Or I can change the title of the thread to reflect the new direction the thread has gone.

again kingpin can not be used. fox still owns him and like x-men as long as they make DD related movies they still will

Fantastic Four... well, from what I've heard, it wasn't the Roger Corman screen test, but yes, I'd give the second movie a huge re-do. The first wasn't... superbad...
I hope the Avengers set up does its job. (and most importantly, give us the Big 3. Cap, Thor and IM. After that, they can go in several different directions... Cap's misfits (Wanda, Pietro, and Hawkeye), the other founders (Ant Man and Wasp, Hulk) Vision, Beast, Falcon or Tigra, or some of the "new" Avengers (Luke Cage/Power Man in particular).

I know this thread is deader than Boss Hogg doing disco, but looking back on my Fantastic Four comments, I'm actually starting to miss Ioan Griffoad (sp?) and Michael Chiklis's Fan 4, whenever I see previews and commercials for the new one. Hollywood seems to forget that comics fans forgive Fan 4 not having a diverse team because 3 out of 4 of them are family. Blood family in the case of the Invisible Girl/Woman and the Human Torch II. And since they were written in 1961, it can almost be guaranteed that the college Richards and Grimm went to would not have been integrated, nor would their dorm (they were roommates, even before Reed met Victor von Doom). To me, this is as bad as G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra changing white, red-headed HALO jumper Ripcord into a Wayans brother, (and only slightly less bad than Galactus being a hand-shaped cloud in space).
As for the Avengers, both movies thus far have satisfied me, though I wish we got Hank Pym (Ant-Man I) as a founding member, I'm content with him and the Wasp being predecessors for the team.

And since they were written in 1961, it can almost be guaranteed that the college Richards and Grimm went to would not have been integrated, nor would their dorm (they were roommates, even before Reed met Victor von Doom).

As a minor point, that guarantee might represent more confidence than there is data to support. Reed Richards went to different educational institutions depending on what version of the origin story one looks at. I have seen MIT, Cal Tech, Harvard, and even a fictional university in New York mentioned. (Notably, none that I can recall were in the south.) So, it's hard to look up when the school he would have gone to was integrated.

But, mostly, I am not sure what would be the point of mentioning the state of university integration in the 1960s. That might be a point of curiosity if the movie were set 50 years ago. But, the characters in the 2015 FF movie would not have been in college until decades after every major U.S. university (science and engineering programs as well as dormitories) had been integrated. And, I am not sure how that issue impacts Ben Grimm and Reed Richards being roommates, one way or the other.

I guess the casting of Sue and Johnny Storm in the 2015 movie might raise some questions about how much their backstory has changed. However, the significant aspects of their history can survive pretty much completely intact if the new story is that they were raised as siblings in family situation that was mixed, adopted, foster, or whatever else.

Maybe it was mentioned before,but Sony has plans for an animated Spider-man movie in 2018.
