Don't underestimate the power of Funboy. When you work side by side with Michael Wincott in ANY capacity, nuclear amounts of Kick-Assness are transmitted via osmosis to your mojo.

No to funboy. He killed Brandon Lee and he's a shitty actor to boot.

Marc Webb basicly confirmed that he just pulled a dick move by keeping the scene in there because he "loves to hear speculation".

He says the intent of the scene was simply to show that there were forces at work in the background that we didnt know about. He wouldnt say who the character was, and when asked if the character would have a role in the next film as the villain, he said no. When asked if the character would reappear again, he said that they would pursue it in some way.

He goes on to say that he likes the speculation and likes to hear people talk about who they think it is.

I dont think he even knows who it is. Its total bullshit that it was even left in the film.


His movie is completely different from what his trailers advertise. In the trailers, Peter seems to be on a singular mission, to find the truth about his parents. We hear Rajit Ratha (the indian dude that shut down Connors) say "Do you think what happened to you Peter, was an accident? Do you have any idea, what you really are?"

Connors says "If you want the truth about your parents Peter, come and get it."

Peter is heard saying something about being determined to find out what happened to his parents.

Mention is made by one of the characters that Peter is "part of a greater plan"

None of these scenes or lines are even in the film. Peter starts out trying to find out more about his father, and then that just gets sidetracked completely when Peter works out the decay rate algorithm. He never asks another question about his father, or anything regarding his parents.

This end sequence was likely tied in with what was supposed to be that "untold story" that the trailers are still advertising but since it all got cut out, it now makes absolutely no sense.

The fact that Marc Webb confirmed that the man in shadows isnt the main villain in the next film makes this scene pretty worthless. Thats usually what those little teaser spots are for, to show some pivotal thing about the next film. Instead, we get a throwaway actor who isnt named, and Rhys Ifans who isnt signed for another film. Its likely a scene with actors that wont even be in the next movie.

He's a character we probably wouldve given a shit about had the story been told right, but since it wasnt, nobody should really give a flyin feck about who this guy is.

Gary Busey!

[Red Brooklyn]

Kirk Douglas?

Holy shit, that's Funboy!!

He sounds just like Osborn. It's supposed to be Osborn IMO. They're just dancing around it because they obviously have no draft for a sequel yet, so they might have to change their minds as to who it becomes in the next film.

He has a southern drawl! How does that sound "just like" Norman Osbourn?

Did you see the fim? He sounds just like Defoe.

It struck me as more southern than that when I saw it.

Still, so? Let's use that same logic: Andrew Garfield doesn't sound just like Toby Maguire, therefore Andrew Garfield does not play Peter Parker.

Your an idiot.

So someone actually did some research and determined that Sony actually did some last minute recutting the past few weeks and took out the "Untold Story" of Spidey which they had been advertising. Sounds like they got cold feet at the last minute not wanting to upset fans.

"Months ago I told you guys that I heard rumors that The Amazing Spider-Man would be making a simple, but huge, change to Spider-Man’s origin. No longer would the spider bite change Peter Parker into a superhero. Rather, the spider bite would activate something already within him that would make him a superhero.

This is not reflected in the final movie. Sort of. The hints of it are still there, and when you add in deleted elements that snuck into the marketing you can see the shape of the thing where it once existed.............."

That actually would make more sense to me within the context of this story. If Peter's father was supposed to be this brainiac scientist, it would make sense that either a.) Peter accidentally was exposed to something while younger, or b.) his father purposefully exposed him (maybe as a way to cure Peter of some childhood ailment). It always seemed odd to me that "a" radioactive spider could do this to just one person. In this film version, the room was chock full of spiders. One bit Peter. So you mean to tell me that none of the other spiders, either accidentally or purposefully (human experimentation), bit any of the scientists or workers? If there was something within Peter waiting to be triggered, then it would explain why he alone developed such spiderpowers.

I also thought that there was some connection with the fact that it worked so well for Peter, and that his father was the one who developed the spiders in the first place. Perhaps he tested his experiments with his own blood to further his work, Peter being his son stands to reason that it would work with him also.

On the subject of a changed story I did notice the lines missing from the previews where someone is asking

'Do you have any idea.......what you really are?"

and Connors saying

"If you want the truth Peter, come and get it."

[SAUTO]

Quick fun fact.
Movies aren't real, and usually aren't that realistic.

Why bitch when we all know what to expect?

Yeah, Marc Webb (the film's director) did a superb job of making a coherent movie, considering he had to entirely cut out the film's biggest plotline.
