Great Responsibilty: The Amazing Spider-man edition

Well I have to agree with pretty much everything you said here, but serously; could we stop arguing about Spiderman-movies already, everyone just gets mad. Well at least you were smart enough to put this in editiorals.

"Peter beating the crap out of the killer"
THIS IS LIE. He did not kill Uncle Ben, Sandman did

"second attack on killer"
Another lie, Peter attacked a guy who did not kill Uncle Ben, gun was for self defense.


"beating the crap out of the Green Goblin: Green Goblin had been beating him senseless and threatened to kill his love slowly. It was self defence and he wasn't ready to kill."
self defence? Spider-Man attacked goblin who came out under broken wall, and Spider-Man was ready to kill him till Green Goblin said: Please, stop this

"Harry knocked out: that was an accident, Harry was attacking him and he simply wanted to stop him. He took him to the hospital afterwards." Then why did he not tell truth? In hospital even he lied to Harry. Even smiled about that when Harry asked if his father is dead. Peter did everything to Harry, so then Harry would want Peter dead.


"Peter went out for vengeance, attacking random criminals even after uncle died and he realized that he was responsible for it."
How Peter was responsibile for Uncle Ben death? Explain me, when Uncle Ben got into fight himself. He was not attacking random criminals, he puted in webs, and cops arrested those criminals.


"He only proceeds to save the people on the bridge to prove something to himself and not out of responsibility." WTF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT? By your logic everyone that old Spider-Man saved people are prove something to himself, not out of responsibility.


"He has no trouble randomly revealing his secret identity to his girlfriend for no real reason"
You stupid or what? Every teenager would reveling secret identity to girlfriend, even i would. If you have a girlfriend, then you dont hide secrets from her, but telling the truth.


"He spends three minutes bothering a petty thief in a very forced scene which only exists to not so subtly say:"
This happens in comics too. Spider-Man is just like that in comics. You really need to read comics, because Spiderman always made kinda that jokes.


"Breaks a dying man's promise just so he can keep a hot girlfriend, regardless of responsibility. Promises you can't keep are not the best kind."
Show me clip where Peter says to Capt Stacy: Yes, i keep promes. He never promest anything.
Also, same thing happens in comics. Why? So then Gwen Stacy can die by Green Goblin. If that never happened, then Gwen Stacy would never die. Great Responsibilty came when Gwen Stacy died in comics, and so is in movie.

""Saves one kid from fallling to his death but leaves aa the other cars hanging from the bridge."
There was no time, Lizard was thorwing cars, and then Spider-Man saved this kid, and when Spider-Man saved that kid,then cops just got there and Spider-Man had to go, or he would be arrested.

Go watch movie again.

Did you read a single thing I wrote? He jumped sandman. Also, Peter didn't know. Nobody did till 2 years later.

Really? I watched that scene again and again and it didn't seem the cops were there. In the first movie police officer arrived to arrest him but he still went to save one more person from a burning building.

Besides, he could easily and quickly saved those people.

Watch the death scene. He nods and says yes.


Look let me put it simply, Peter Parker keeps his identity a secret. Period. It's in the comics. That's how his character is. He is not a normal boyfriend.

If her dad died to save me and asked for me to stay away from her because we both know that I will put her in danger. Yes. At the very least that's what's happens in the comics. He has dumped his girlfriends multiple times simply to protect them.

"Hey Harry! I know you have daddy issues and that you think your dad never loved you and your dad just died so you're sad. Just thought I would let you know that he was killer who tried to kill me and ended up killing himself. Oh by the way he asked me not to tell you this because he loved you but I decided not to listen. I'm such a nice guy."

I'm fine with changing the origin story a bit as long as the characters act the same as the orignals. Love? They'd been dating for 2 weeks.

My point is not how normal kids behave, Peter is different. Special. He is.selfless. My point is that the Peter Parker in this movie behaved nothing like the Peter Parker in the comics. That's all. No matter how much you compare him to normal teenagers, This Peter Parker is nothing like the comics.

Plus lizard had left and he swung home. He could have saved the people in those cars.

LEVITIKUS, Finally. Someone with a brain. Making Peter Parker like a normal teenager takes away what's special about him.

I think this was more of a journey to responsibility. That's what the whole movie was about. Peter accepting that his closure can only come from protecting New York and stopping those who put people in harms way.

Then when he loses Gwen by his mistake, we'll have us an amazing storyline.

Simply put TASM was not about responsibility.

Ben and Peter fought because Peter left Aunt May hanging, Aunt May defended Peter, Ben died because he was out looking for Peter and Peter was complicit in the store robbery, Aunt May was devastated because her love died and she was concerned about Peter, in response to that Peter listens to Ben's last words over and over again while treating the love of Ben's life like crap.

On top of that he lies that he came up with 0 decay formula and even lies to the car thief that he came up with the webbing all by himself (what was the point of that).

The very fact that Peter stays away from Gwen means that he agreed to Captain Stacy's promise - even Gwen figures it out. Peter broke the promise end of story.


On the bridge Spidey didn't rush away from the cops, he spent a good while chilling on the Bridge watching the father
and son reunion.


Andrew wasn't the problem it was the script and direction. TASM had a lot of themes but no clear overall theme.

TheAmazingSpiderHyphenMan LOl bro, someone deleted your comment? Glad I got to read it though.

"1. What makes Peter special is that he does not behave like a normal teenager. He puts responsibility ahead of revenge."

God we know! WE KNOW. We...KNOW!!! Yes Peter Parker behaves differently in the comics. But do you know they had to make this movie appeal to EVERYONE? Not just Raimi fanboys and comic butthurts, but people who don't know who Spider-Man is. Yeah, Spider-Man has been a world-wide icon since Raimi trilogy, but what about this generation? They made this movie to be different so it would appeal to EVERYONE.

"2. I guess you have a point there. Still would have been better if Ben's speech was the main factor like in the comics. Like I said before, what makes Peter special is that he already understands what true responsibility is after his uncle's death. That would've been enough."

You basically agreed with me.....? The only reason why they edited his 'line' was to a. Make it different from the first trilogy, and b. make it fit into context of what was happening.

"3. How many times do I have to say this. Peter Parker's not like a normal teenager. He keeps his secret from even the ones he loves most in the comics. That's how he is. Plus love? They went out for 1 week. That's all it takes two compromise his secret? Lame."

"YOU KILLED THE WOMAN I LOVE, GOBLIN! AND FOR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!"
How come movies lately get so hated for originality?Peter was in a vulnerable state, and she was there for him which built up their relationship. Wouldn't it be nice to be hugged by your crush after you watched your Uncle die?

"4. I think you're confusing spidey with deadpool. That scene was like deadpool. Spider man kids but doesn't just waste time doing it. He says it when it fits.zScenes like the lizard high.school fight had the perfect spidey humor. He was out for revenge, even spidey doesn't kid around so much when dealing with rage. Thus, the scene was crap."

It was dark, no one was around-- he had all the time he wanted. That was his moment of unleashing all this pain inside of someone. By tormenting a criminal and just getting a good laugh. It wasn't crap. But of yeah, Spider-Man isn't like that blah blah blah. Remember what I said about appealing to ALL people?

"If there weren't people in those cars, WHY THE HELL WAS HE WASTING TIME CATCHING THEM? WE HEARD
SCREAMS WHEN LIZARD WAS SEARCHING THROUGH THEM.
Remember the scene from the first movie where call show up to arrest him but he still jumps into a burning building to save someone. What if the webs broke again? He could save time if he just helped them."

True, but we didn't see any other cars catching on fire. And, like himself, the kid was terrified and dad was desperate. In a way Peter felt related to that kid. The kid wanted to see his dad again, and Peter didn't want to see something similar happen to someone else. The situation was reversed, in a way. It's touching and sad. Then he watched them embrace. You could feel the emotion burning through the mask.
Back on topic. He knew that the cops would come and that the fire department would be there to rescue them.

"5. In the comics, Gwen died without Peter being irresponsible. It could've been like that scene in the dark knight. Joker found out Batman loved Rachel because of how desperate he was to save her. Peter could jump in to save her and the villains would know. Plus, there's the whole 'they used to date' thing that can motivate the villains to attack her."


Yeah, then you'd be bitching that their ripping off from TDK. There's no pleasing you.

^Precisely. Peter Parker is an athletic, well dressed, smart, attractive, likable highschool.....loser. He even behaves nice so there's really no way he would be a nerd.

Even if you're going to make the movie for everyone, don't change what the character is like. Comic book and Tobey Peter: Bookworm, not super attractive and generally not very athletic. A perfect nerd.

I think Andrew.Garfield should stop copying Shia Ladouche's stuterring act and talk normally like he did in the social network. Then he would be much more believable.
