Take that Sam Raimie

First off, I told you so.

Second off, stop asking why I said "told you so" and let me explain why.

Sam Raimie's Spiderman has been seen the same way as me by Sony (or they just want more money) and has decided to reboot the whole kit and caboodle. Your welcome world. The world that never reads this blog, the world that saw my blog posted on IMDB and told me that i was full of shit and that Sam Raimie's Spider Man was beautiful wondrous work. The same world who after Spider Man 3, said "it’s not that bad, frankly I'm glad they didn't beat me with a baseball bat before robbing me". Okay maybe the ladder part of what the world said is interpreted, but you know it’s true. So now we got a reboot that might make me lose this "hate-on" (hate-on is a coined word the takes the word hate and fuses it with a great word like hard on) that I got for the Spider Man franchise right now.

Doing things right
First things first Guen Stacey, the person that Peter wants to marry and have Spiderlings with, and the first time after Uncle Ben's death he finally feels happy again. Almost as if that would incredibly help a plot of a story if somehow that person died. Almost in the same way it helped a early comic called The Amazing Spider Man develop its character Peter Parker which helped it become as popular as it is today. No, that concept could never work for a movie based on a comic called Spider Man, it’s just way to out there. Just in case you missed all that time I wasted with sarcasm, I was in fact being sarcastic. Watching the Spider Man movies, it does not shock me to see this direction that Sony has now desided to follow, the loss of loved one could stir up a lot of dark feelings for a person, especially a hero; a man who spends his free time protecting his community, defeating criminals, and rescuing strangers, it becomes easy to see how hard it would be if the community turns on him, the criminal is someone close to him (Norman Osborn), and the person he fails to rescue is his fiancé. Wow almost writes itself at that point, maybe that’s why Guen Stacey has been announced as a character, and they are going for "a dark theme".

What they did wrong
Despite all of these elements of Spiderman already being produced in comics, why would a company not use these resources, even if they were making a kids movie "The Lion King" was a movie with death in it, not only did it have death in it but it had a song about how death is a part of life, all of this made by Disney. Not to mention Disney has also made two of the most depressingly enjoyable movies in recent years in "Wall-E" and "Up". Wall-E is a loner robot, living in a ruined earth, with only media as company who almost loses the only thing he has ever known or loved, but only at the end finds happiness after almost losing it all. Up is a story of two people who fall madly in love with one another from a young age, they find out shortly after marriage that she cannot have kids, so they decide to go on a childhood adventure, however, their dreams get continuously shattered by life's little ups and downs, and just as he is able to afford it his wife dies of old age; that is some heartfelt and cripplingly sad stuff, and it is only the first 10 minutes of the film. So what does all this mean for Spider Man, well I guess all this means is that Disney has bigger balls then the original Sony Spider Man movies, let’s hope they grow a pair this time around

So it is obviously clear that Sony is the only people that read this thing, so Sony. DON'T FUCK IT UP THIS TIME.
