Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I agree with your New Coke comparison and TASM 3 and 4 becoming one film, but I don't know if any sort of regular reboot can work, even a non-origin one. It's just all gonna seem so redundant at that point, unless they wait a really long time and you know Sony sure as hell won't do that with this one of their only franchises. That's why I want something totally new if we are gonna get another reboot, like 2099. It would be entirely unique and different while still holding onto the brand name of Spiderman. And I think there's some cool potential there too for movies. Miguel O' Hara, or Miles Morales would never be accepted by the GA. AT least not by blockbuster standards, anyway. PP is Spider-Man. Other than my idea, the only other way to have Spidey back on the big screen and have people go Ooo Ah again is for Sony to swallow their pride and team up with Marvel. Avengers with Spider-Man would be worth it for both studios, IMO. But that won't happen as long as the separate franchises are surviving on their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I feel bad for Andrew Garfield, he's a great spider-man and Emma stone is a great Gwen Stacy, everybody else in the cast and crew just happen to suck.Nah Field is good as well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 We don't know how much a 5th Raimi Spider-man movie would've made. Franchise fatigue might've set in with the same tone and cast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Based on how POTC 4 and Shrek 4 went, I doubt a Raimi directed Spider-Man 4 would have done any better than the reboot. Quite possibly its performance would have been worse. Edited May 5, 2014 by Biggestgeekever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 This only proves that SONY should've given Sam Raimi a chance at a 4th movie based on TASM 2 weekend number... Eh...I highly doubt that the NA box office slide would have been stopped after SM3's fair to middling WOM. If anything, they would have spent more on it than TASM and made less. SM4 looked like a complete debacle on the level of Batman & Robin or Superman IV. At least Sony saved us from that hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe what Spider-Man needed was a B&R to completely wipe the slate clean instead slogging on with consistently middling films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Disney would probably get a big boost from toy sales but I don't see why they would give the spotlight to a character they don't own. Well technically they do own the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume they would never accept it, but it looks like they are losing interest in Peter Parker as it is. A big change like that might be a tough sell at first, but it could end up revitalizing the franchise in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That was the most awesome WWE event I have ever been to! How did Wyatt-Cena play live? It was pretty bad watching it on the network. Super Cena was in full form apart from for the ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most disagree Raimi wanted to make the best SM film yet, and Sony wanted what reboot disaster 2 has become. Its obvious because of the poor choice as a director and weaker actor that is Garfield , that this is ruining the franchise. TM and Raimi SM 4 would have been a billion dollar movie. Not even close to a comparison. This SM failed to even make a 100M friday to sunday and could possibly make under 200-220M range LOL. That rests soly on Andrew not being as Good as TM and Webb just not able to win audiences over as he doesnt have the creative genius of Raimi.. Webb does have an eye for individual moments though. There are some really good attempts for greatness with Amazing flop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sony definitely needs to think things through. Not just creatively but also their financial approach to these movies. I think they should beg forgiveness, and offer Raimi a Picasso painting a deal worth tens of millions and give TM one hell of a paycheck... That alone guarantees a full turn around.. It work with Disney winning back Robin Willams to do work as the Genie and other ventures with the company. TM is only 30 something , Sony needs to act fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt SM4 and SM5 would be making transformers to avengers numbers if Raimi made a film on the level of part 2 or 1 again.. The reboot cast and director indeed just doesnt have the magic that original SM team has. What do you think BKB, I think Sony should get Raimi and TM back into the loop.. Money talks! Or if they decide to use Andrew and cast again, really really get the writing right before they throw money at the film. Perhaps a new director or heck get the guys who directed Capt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 38 40 by the time the next one gets released. Still young enough to do SM.. A2.. The question is how much would it take for TM to come back along with Rami. Also would he come back to the draw dropping world that made his career shoot to Alist levels? I hope so.
