You know I hate to admit it but

I don't think Spider-Man is that cool. I'm sorry, but I don't. I know, my opinion yadda yadda.

I could go on and on with why, but I'll just say that I think the whole series would be cooler if:
  • There was no Spider Man 3. Ever. In fact, we need to go back in time and prevent that from occuring.
  • He only has 2 arms. Spiders have 8. and red spandex does not a spider make
  • going with the arms thing, he could just be Ocotopus-man, and have 8 arms and spray ink at people, and Dr. Octopus would be Dr. Arachnidius or something.
  • People. Made of sand? Who are Villians? Stan Lee, put that joint down.
  • Peter Parker and Deadpool need to be brothers.
  • Peter Parker needs to be Tony Stark's DNA carrying vessel, making him the Inheritor to Iron Man
  • Batman needs to be included somehow. and they all need to travel through Wormholes found on map they stole from God Dr. Manhattan.
  • In a Delorean. at 88 MPH. Which is not very possible given the underpowered engine in that car.
  • Police officers armed with axes should appear as well.

So, who agrees with me on this?

As much as I love Sam Raimi, the whole reimagining of Spiderman under his watch has been lackluster at best. Bad central character cast. Bad MaryJane choice. I dunno, maybe I got spoiled by the near plausible nature of the new Batman movies, but I just can't do the "zany comedy" stuff in funny book adaptations anymore...I liked X-Men. I liked XII. X3 sucked hard. Wolverine even moreso, and there is no reason in the WORLD why it should have.

I think the pulpy stuff (w/ comedy) just translates alot better. I wish to God theyd make a Trans-Met movie. Spider Jerusalem would be a great subject for that type of comic adaptation.

All that said, I like Spiderman. He was my first intro to superheroes. I think the idea is neat. I dig Stan Lee. Sure, not all of his ideas were great, and not even all the ones that were, like Spiderman, should really "endure" like Hollywood thinks, I think. Batman has a new lease. Brian Singer could not revive Superman, and I doubt Zach Snyder will either. Same goes for Spidey. You cannot play it "real", and it's already been done over and over the current way. Let. It. Die. already.

Get rid of Batman (not a super hero!!!!) and I guess you might be right.
But, there is no denying, that having some of those powers would rock! The spandex might need to go though, could you imagine the awkward erections!!??
Ok, I didn't want to put that picture in your minds, but I had to for my own entertainment.
