Why are they rebooting Spider-Man?
It was one of the first questions heard ‘round the Internet when it was revealed that Sony planned to go back to the drawing board and restart Marvel’s wall-crawling hero for The Amazing Spider-Man. Do audiences need to see the origin again? Do they want to? Only five years have passed since Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire swung through multiplexes with Spider-Man 3. Is a reboot even necessary?
All of us took notice of a missing character that is important to the Spider-Man mythos. Parker’s red-headed girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. However, Garfield actually didn’t seem too bothered with it and suggested that breaking away from that cliché expectation for Spider-Man’s story is important.
On the soundtrack to the original "Spider-Man" movie, Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott sang about how only a hero could save us, but they weren't gonna stand there and wait. While the song was written for the 2002 Spidey, it feels apt for "The Amazing Spider-Man" films too.
A star of The Amazing Spider-Man has addressed the rumors that we'll be seeing them in this weekend's No Way Home.
I don't see why people are bitching though this Spider-Man and Raimi's Spider-Man are set in two different marvel universes anyways. One is Ultimate and the other is not so really it doesn't matter...
