YMMV / Spider-Man (James Cameron)

Go To

  • Broken Base: The consensus among fans who read Cameron's scriptment is pretty split: some consider it to be a missed opportunity and others feel that the darker elements and the liberties taken with the villains make it so that it's for the best that the film was never made.
  • Complete Monster: Carlton Strand is a selfish and Darwinistic supervillain who has used his electricity powers to become an unfathomably rich businessman. Getting his start as a lowly street crook who tested his new powers by slaughtering his gang, Strand ascended to power by forcing heart attacks onto anyone in his way and silencing any who tried to expose his corruption. Getting his kicks by electrocuting his abused lover to near-death then reviving her at his whim—culminating in him leaving her to die in this state when he's in a hurry—Strand later kidnaps Mary Jane Watson to torture and molest in an attempt to force Spider-Man to ally with him in bringing about a new age of superhumans to stand above humanity.
