The Amazing Spider-Man 2

"before you need to accept that scene...

you also need to accept that somehow a spider-bite can give someone someone super-powers..."

This is a complete non-sequitur. The existence of super powers ( or magic, or aliens, or *any* phlebotinum ) does *not* excuse the rest of the plot from having to make sense.

So does that make Spidey the rook since he was moving in a straight line forward?

NEVER! He's a threat... or a menace. I can never remember which.

He's a menacing threat. Or maybe a threatening menace. Hell, maybe he threatens menaces.

One consistent thing through out all four movies is that Peter is a terrible secret keeper. Spidey's identity got either discovered or wittingly revealed (or both) every single goddamn film.

I'll say this: Much as I love ASM, I thought it was a really stupid idea to reveal himself to Gwen so soon. He'd known her for, what, three, four days? A week at most? Maybe even a month if we're gonna give the timeline some credit? That's a pretty frickin' big thing to reveal to someone you in all honesty barely even know.

you known i had totally forgot about that. gosh i feel stupid.

^^ I get the impression that he hasn't yet begun to consider the importance of the secret identity as seriously as he ought to. Having more enemies take the fight to him specifically would probably help that. Or a tragedy of some sort.

Most live action movie superheroes tend to suck at hiding their secret identities compared to the comics versions.

Compare how long it took Comics and Movie Kingpins to learn DD was Matt Murdock.

Remember how, out of all the Batman movie interests, the only one who didn't learn his secret was a living prop who was in two scenes (Batman and Robin's Julie Madison).

At least Tony Stark did it in a way that kinda played with the tradition; he just realized the secret thing wasn't going to work at all in a 'realistic' setting, so he went "to hell with it".

And hell, even before he revealed it to the world pretty much everyone who could have found out did find out, even though he was vaguely trying to hide it.

That's true.

I do love how he lampshaded the "the love interest always knows the secret identity" trope at the end of the movie, though.

...wait, which movie are we talking about now?

i think they are talking about Iron Man.

So far, no one in the MCU setting maintains a traditional secret identity. Certainly it seems unlikely that a costumed crime fighter could keep his identity secret from SHIELD for a prolonged period, even if he wanted to.

Wouldn't that be funny to watch, though?

Looking for some stories?

Shailene Woodley's playing MJ!

Sorry if sound like a fucking idiot, but who?

If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.

The Hollywood Reporter is claiming:

Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an adaptation of The Night Gwen Stacy Died, and that MJ is specifically being brought in to be developed as the primary love interest for the third movie.

I thought we were told that we wouldn't be getting Goblin yet, or something to that extent.

I'm sorry? Hahahaha. Maybe you read incorrectly from some site?

Sorry, misspelled it.

But yeah, here's proof.

And huh, I didn't expect Gwen to be offed so early. I thought they were holding out for the third one.

Yeah, it seems a bit early to do that...but as long as they can make it work. Either way, this'll be interesting.

I should probably actually read The Night Gwen Stacy Died before seeing this instead of getting all my info about it online.

Y'know, thinking of that for the plot of the next movie makes me realize that if there's anything that sums up Spider Man it's four easy words:

"It's all my fault."

The third movie's probably going to finish off his character development, that being the case - he learns to accept his failures for what they are and not let that pull him back from having a life. Or something like that.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

If they play their cards right, this film series could possibly be the greatest Spider-Man adaptation to date. Well, outside of animation, of course.
