@TheAbaryMan369:

4) I know he doesn't have an arm, but it was so obvious that they hid it under his coat, instead of using CGI to remove it, like in TASM1.

39) During the wedding scene at the end, Jameson tells his wife to call Debra and tell her not to open the caviar.

1. Peter can only get a certain time in the suit everyday...or the itchiness and the riding up of the crotch begins...he wanted to use this for quality webslinging time, not for delivering shit pizza

2. She's Bones, shes married to a vampire and deals with dead bodies everyday...I dont think shes too surprised about Tobey Maguire coming out of the closet...heh heh heh

3. Hey...hes committed to the bit and he doesnt want to ask for directions from the building

4. He was hiding a present from Peter, but was so pissed off that Peter missed his class and so he hid the present to teach Peter a lesson. That, and lizards took his arm (but he got them back in Spidey 3, theres one of their skeletons in his classroom...cheeky bitches)

5. Nepotism...plus he bribed everyone into thinking he could do the job. he was proved wrong by an exploding sun later on

6. Because it was the first of Doc Ock's nefarious schemes, not to mess with Spidey, but to provide boring scenes later on to mess with our heads...ok that rascal

7. He thought it was one of those magic washing machines Reed Richards invented...but he was proved wrong

8. I dont know, ask Edna Mode!

9. Because Peter wanted to flirt with his strange daughter. Also: RENT! WHERE IS MY MONEY!

10. It was really riding up on his crotch, he had to voice his pain!

11. He was high...I dunno, never saw 2.1

12. High brow Oscorp people hate humour...we love it however!

13. Ock's tentacles Vulcan never-pinched him while Spidey was off-screen...plus secretly, Spidey hated Rosie for that damn silly TS Eliot story...goddamn

14. Screw Rosie, he has four new friends and the sun in the palm of his hands...Rosie who?!

15. Haha like Marvel movies would mention a DC character...ah dammit, Aunt May...did you just mention the granddaddy of superheroes....

16. He thought it would work because he was flirting with Betty Brandt...Peter's skills are not that good. plus Betty never read the comics, so she didnt know they hooked up. And Peter couldnt give her his comics...damn you Aunt May!

17. Set his tentacles to silent, wore a coat 5 times too big for him. Plus, Security is dumb

18. He got a phone call from Sam Raimi a second earlier, Sam told him to always kidnap the love interest. Doc Ock had read the comics, and thought Sam meant OCK'S love interest! Much hilarity was had...except for Stan Lee and his friend who nearly got squashed

19. He's Stan the Man Lee, hes the goddamn Watcher...you questioning him???!!

20. Aunt May is a tired old woman, who lost her husband and was chased by Green Willem Dafoe, shes still in shock from all this. Plus, Spidey's voice is muffled in that suit

21. He was jealous of the future werewolf dude who was trying to get with her, havent you acted silly in front of a woman you were trying to win from another guy

22. Because in his friend's dream he wasnt supposed to be Spider-Man climbing those walls...and Im sure adamantium bullets were involved somewhere

23. He washed the suit one last time, this time in Reed's magic washing machine. Plus, I dont care how cool that Spidey suit was, whos going to take a stinky, itchy, dirty costume out of a trash can...except for that silly homeless man, who clearly needed a bath.

24. holy shit, I just realised that homeless man was also the "I think you have the wrong animal there" guy from the Dark Knight Rises! Brent Briscoe, I salute you....oh damn Im supposed to be answering questions...eh...Peter Parker is Spider-Man, not Ghost Rider, only Ghost Rider knows how to maintain bikes properly

25. oh shit, not Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head...its the Song Of The Week, its also in Forrest Gump which is celebrating its 20th anniversary on Sunday...and whats that got to do with anything...nothing at all, just distracting you from the Raimi cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26. He's goddamn Brent Briscoe....hes too busy to go on Ebay...hes got damn bats to deal with in Gotham!

27. Really...would you want to spend more than two minutes with James Franco...I mean Caesar formed his own ape nation in Rise Of The Planet of the Apes to get away from him! I mean, hes crying in the trailer for Dawn because he remembered how annoying James Franco is! Ok, I've gone off topic...Franco is annoying, Ock did not want to deal with him for very long, decided that beating Spider-Man's head in was much more tolerable, plus kill two birds with one stone!

28. Oh yeah, its all about the goddamn toaster isnt it? Screw the toaster, she threw Amazing Fantasy #15 away...shes put Spidey's secret identity in jeopar....oh wait Sony doesnt care about his identity, moving on!

29. Because he was secretly suicidal...all Spider-Men are. Plus, they needed to make an in-joke to how Tobey Maguire hurt his back during filming...pussy

30. Doc Ock doesnt give a shit, you know he would just laugh about their deaths and download Peter's memories into his head...and bam, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!

31. Why did he throw them all? Lets be serious! Im guessing he forced Spidey to try and stop the train, to drain his energy and then easily capture him! But throwing people, it makes no sense! Spidey is good at People Baseball and Doc Ock looks genuinely sad when Spidey catches them. Ock is just trying to have a good time

32. If Scarlett Johannsson's legs can kill everybody, Im pretty sure Spider-man can do whatever a spider can...but in this case, no, he was an idiot and he didnt have many "BRIGHT IDEAS!"

33. Yeah, but they were crap camera phones, Peter would just end up looking like Joan Rivers in the picture...plus the kid promised that they wouldnt tell nobody! that, and YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US. Damn courageous New Yorkers

34. Half-brothers?!! holy shit, they must get so teased for having Crybaby Tobey in their family...also one of them was Miles Morales who webslinged to find the mask

35. he was sleeping dude, he just woke up from the light hitting his eyes. Plus, Sam Raimi really wanted to make one of the worst comic book sequels, this is where it began

36. they are made from Plotholius, the greatest of all metals. Its coated in special bullshit

37. dude, he has been controlled by robot arms, he has been eletrocuted and he is all wet. Cut the guy some slack, hes gonna get some words wrong. plus hes just realised the arms only wanted him for his body, hes hurting

38. Willem Dafoe ignores the silly concepts of life and death, all so Harry can AVENGE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, if people can become spiders, goblins and octopi, Im pretty sure ghosts exist!

39. She did open the caviar, it led to Jonah needing all that medication in the third movie to deal with the stress of it all. Yeah, you can blame goddamn Debra for that scene (and all of Spider-Man 3, if you like, meh doesnt matter now)

40. Yes, did you not see all the people looking at her like she was crazy.

41. Because he is locked in a constant battle with Pizza Yurt (secretly a HYDRA run business). It takes someone incredible to deal with HYDRA, like that guy...Captain United States...

42. Because.... If it's a woman you're calling, then you say: "You're good woman. I'm good man..." Also, WHERE IS MY MONEY! RENT! Plus, he secretly used to be a Russian general...check Austin Powers 1 to confirm my findings

43. wow...now youre asking silly questions. next you will be asking me, why is the sky blue? Whats that big flaming ball in the sky? Did Gusto really hang out with the cavemen in his youth? Silly questions, its just a certainty!

44. She's alright, but shes no Michael Buble! But she does make Peter Parker have the best reaction face ever!

45. Thats an easy one, because, HES ZOLTAN (makes Z shape with hands). He is our wise leader and he will bring Spider-Man to the crab nebula for a party

46. Because he is not surprised by the fact he has 8 arms, I would have ran for the nearest continent if I ran into Ock. He's like, screw that, Im defending this bank...til his unfortunate octopus related death

47. Because, hes JOXER THE MIGHTY! No other reason needed

48. Because its the right kind of Raimi cheese...not the rotten Raimi cheese known as Spidey 3

49. Iron Man catches them? Hulk jumps up and catches them...unseen helicopters....physics gone awry...a host of different things

50. yeah, THAT was a stupid question...have you been reading your own list...lucky I was here to give you intelligent, informed answers....HEY, whats with the sarcastic laughter over there!!!

51. and the final one, the big kahuna, Ol' Blue Eyes...the answer is....yes, they could put the infinitly more interesting actors of Garfield and Stone in there....and avoided those horrible Mary Jane/Peter scenes....I mean, goddamn poetry....SCREW YOU DOC OCK! Also, I like the sometimes criticised cheesy humour...as I said before, its the good kind of cheese, not the claw my own eyes out cheese of Spidey 3

wow, I answered all of them, I truly have no life...yeahhh! Thank you for writing this article, at least SOMEONE remembered the TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF SPIDER-MAN 2 happening today. I watched Spidey 2 again this morning, still love it. I thought I was the only one, damn youth and their hipster Spidey....oh who am I kidding I love facets of the new movies.

But Raimi's movies will forever hold a place in my heart. Spidey 1 and 2 were the first post-Batman and Robin comic book movies I ever watched. And without them, I (or possibly any of us) would have the awesome present day comic book movies in our lives today. Thanks Spidey (and of course, X-Men and Blade)

later, my CBM loving people


hold on, Henry...Henry Jackson from Spidey 2???!!! Probably not :(

DAMN YOU OCK AND YOUR POETRY!

*sigh* silly fanboys thinking this movie is flawless *sigh*

Now, I'm gonna answer these questions, and maybe show some of you how overrated this movie really is. (To be clear, I'm not saying it's Superman IV bad, but it's not nearly as good as many seem to think.)

1. Because they were attempting to be funny and dramatic at the same time. For some reason they thought making Peter's life extremely difficult would be dramatic, while thinking that having him end up being Spiderman while delivering the pizza would be funny. In the real world, he would've used his powers all the time to make sure he didn't lose his job.
2. Because the filmmakers were stupid.
3. Not in the real world. In Raimi-world, probably.
4. Because they didn't want to spend any more money on CGI.
5. No, you weren't paying attention. He was in charge of special projects, not CEO. And he probably inherited a very large portion of the stock in the company, if not a majority, so yeah, he's gonna get a fairly important position in the company, at least until he shows he can't handle it. (Throwing a temper tantrum during the presentation was a result of living in Raimi-world.) As for college, I doubt it.
6. No, it's Raimi-world. But, some women, especially English majors, do go for that sort of thing, so I'll let it pass.
7. Again, in Raimi-world, Peter does stupid things because Raimi thinks it's funny.
8. Probably not, but this is Raimi-world, so Peter was too stupid to realize that.
9. Raimi-world, so Peter has to be made to look as down-on-his-luck as possible. In the real world, Peter would have kept his job and paid his rent, or gone out the window.
10. Because crotch humor is evidently funny in Raimi-world.
11. Because Peter isn't a silly fanboy who cares about how many web lines connect to his eyes.
12. Otto has a better sense of humor than you do.
13. Because this is Raimi-world, in which there is no consistency, and in which all villains must be sympathetic. Therefore, she had to die.
14. Because in Raimi-world, instead of having a truly evil villain, you have to have the villain become evil for some external reason, in this case the AI of the arms taking over his brain, which kept him from caring about her death.
15. Neither. This is Raimi-world, Dark Horse comics owns Dr. Strange.
16. What if he was?
17. Of course he did, this is Raimi-world.
18. Gonna let this one go. This is a cbm, convenient coincidences are standard.
19. This is a Marvel film. Stan Lee has to do something cool.
20. The exact same reason that MJ never recognized it in the first movie, because they live in Raimi-world. If it was the real world, Peter would attempt to alter his voice, like every other superhero who has a secret identity. As for Otto, again Raimi-world required him to recognize the voice.
21. Once again, you're expecting Raimi-world to work like the real world.
22. Because Raimi-world is the dumbest world ever.
23. He threw away his costume because he realized that he lived in Raimi-world, and so gave in to despair. As for the hair question, even if JJ found one and had it tested, how would he know it matched Peter? When has Pete ever had a DNA test?
24. Who cares?
25. This is Raimi-world, and he thought it would be cool. The real question is, how did I manage to keep from screaming in anger at the pure stupid cheesiness of that montage while I was in the theater. (Another question is how anyone can put this movie on a top ten cbm list despite that horrible montage.)
26. Because all garbagemen in Raimi-world are stupid. In the real world in New York City, they probably work for a mafia boss and would give the suit to that boss for much more than the $100. He in turn would find a way to make a huge amount of money off of it.
27. This is Raimi-world. Raimi thought it would add to the tension to have Harry find out who Spiderman really is, and also had to set up the next movie. That it doesn't really make sense is irrelevent in Raimi-world. (A bigger question is why Harry kept the tritium at his house instead of locked up at the lab.)
28. *sigh* You actually expect her to know about the value of old comic books? Seriously?
29. Because this is Raimi-world, so Pete has to risk his life to test his powers.
30. Two potential answers to this one. The first is that in Raimi-world the villain has to always try to kill the hero, even if he does need him (and since it's Raimi-world and a cbm, the hero was in no danger.) Or, to give Raimi the benefit of the doubt on that one, I'll say that Otto knew the Spider-sense would kick in and keep them from dying, while allowing Otto to get Pete's attention.
31. Because, again, it's Raimi-world.
32. This is Raimi-world, which requires Pete to often be stupid. So of course he thought his foot would work.
33. Because in Raimi-world, all New Yorkers are nice people who are selfless and stand up for their heroes. In the real world, his pic would have been on the internet within 30 minutes at most, or sold to a newspaper or news show for thousands of dollars.
34. It's Raimi-world, the wind probably caught it and brought it to those kids.
35. If I remember correctly, Pete was just barely waking up when Harry removed the mask. Can't really break out of wire in your sleep.
36. Because in Raimi-world, the laws of physics are optional.
37. Because Raimi-world is not consistent.
38. Since it's Raimi-world, probably both.
39. Who cares?
40. It's Raimi-world, so yes.
41-47. Those things are really not all that awesome.
48. The "Raindrops" montage is awful and cheesy, not awesomely cheesy. (Let me guess, you think the Schumacher Batman films are underrated.)
49. This is Raimi-world, where the clouds are solid enough to attach a web and swing from it (remember, physics laws are optional.)
50. She forgot to keep coloring her hair (and yes, this was a stupid question.)
51. This movie could have been much, much, much better. It could have a truly evil villain, it could NOT have had that horrible "Raindrops" montage, it could have avoided trying to make Peter's life a mess for dramatic effect and laughs, and it could have not taken the ridiculous step of having Pete's powers disappear because of, well, whatever dumb reason they were lost and then miraculously came back.

Hehe, alright. This was pretty cool. Lemme prepare my counter arguments.

1.He generally wants to avoid using his powers for selfish impulses but then realised he was running out of time and about to lose his job.

2. Who knows? People don't really notice anything in these movies. Why did nobody suspect Peter had powers when he spun webs in the cafetaria? Or in the new series: Broke the basketball court and stuff. It's all just humor. Or maybe she didn't give a shit. She just wanted Pizza.

3. Nope, seeing as how he had changed back into Peter Parker, there was no reason for him to not use the door.

4. I haven't noticed that. Nope. Just lost his arm and probably some effect mistakes.

5. He inherited money, didn't need to.

6. Otto's old, that's why.

7. That's actually a pretty good nod to the source material. Peter sucks at handling his clothes. Whether it's stiching them or placing them properly. Maybe washing them comes into this?

8. Probably.

9. To avoid giving away his secret identity? Jeez, somebody could see him?

10. The situation was already awkward and Peter IS kinda awkward himself and says random things sometimes.

11. Doodling.

12. See number 6.

13. Either he was still in shock over the strength of doc's new powers OR...writing.

14. He did. Remember? Him going all Darth Vader in the hospital? "My Rosie's dead...my dream's dead." He lost the will to live, the arms placed their will in it's place.

15. Really? I mean just....Really?

16. J.J still doesn't give a damn.

17. Maybe he snuck in or climbed in or something. Or maybe he killed a guard silently? I remember him doing something similar in this one issue of Ultimate Spider-Man.

18. PARKER LUCK!

19. He's the man.

20. Maybe she did? She did look at Peter all suspsiciously when she made that "heroes" speech.

21. He just lost her to another man. That made him realise who much she truly meant to him. Like MJ said in the end of the film: "It's wrong that we should only be half alive." Peter, was just feeling this because....he's human.

22. He didn't really lose his powers, he just lost the will to use them. This is similar to something that happened in Amazing Spider-Man annual 1. Peter couldn't focus enough to use his powers since his emotional weight was keeping him down. It's like, an acrobat can't do a flip because he's dealing with a break up with his girlfriend.

23. Maybe he checked it? Also wouldn't the people who found it mess it up with their own dirty hands? Their own sweat? The rain falling on the suit? Plus, J.J didn't care as long as he won.

24. He's clumsy. The nerdy Peter Parker? Or maybe it's been a while since he's done this because till a week ago, he didn't have to.

25. Humor. Sam Raimi's classic humor. Plus it's a very 60s vibe since this movie is paying homage to the 60s of the character.

26. Hey, he got a bar of soap! What could be better?

27. I'll give you that.

28. Maybe she meant that she HAD sold them. Or it could be because maybe she gave them to kids. Aunt May isn't the type of person who'd take money from kids.

29. I'm guessing he felt his will to use his powers would naturally kick in if he was in a real situation that required them. Fear of falling=Motivation. And it kinda worked: Did you see how far he jumped before he fell?

30. Maybe he accidentally sent it flying like he did that cab after his escape from the Hospital.

31. I'll give you that too.

32. He wasn't prepared for this situation.

33. I'm guessing cell cams weren't that big that time? Hell, I'd have to beg my parents like crazy for a good phone and it'd be really tough to get one with a cam back then. Or maybe the people on the train were all good people.

34. Maybe they have Spider powers too! Hehe. Or it may have fallen in the window.

35. The shock of having his mask removed...again woke him up.

36. Yes but they're made specifically to avoid the effects of the machine. Maybe the material used made them immune.

37. He was recalling the conversation. The word was said in that convo so that's how he remembered it.

39. J.J's gonna have a pretty bad day then.

40. Why not?

41. Because he is.

42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48: See reason 41

49. Nope. Just attached really far.

50. Hair dye is really irritating.

51. Hmm, well maybe a bit more quipping on Spidey's behalf would've been a good perk. Also, I think poor Jameson Jr. got screwed. He should've gotten some closure. Also, DAMMIT PETER, PAY YOUR RENT!

But yeah, the whole movie was Groovy. (See what I did there?)

The best Spidey movie there is.

Henry,

Isn't it hilarious when people call Tobey Maguire a cry baby when Andrew has cried in his movies too justifiably? I think Spider-man movies need to be restrained from kids who haven't gone through their puberty yet.

@Lhornbk:

Typical Webb fanboy, using illogical arguments to prove that SM2 isn't the greatest Spidey film to date.

It's also funny how you compared Raimi to Schumacher. Oh, the irony...

I really don't have a preference in actors. Both brought their own flair to the characters. Tobey perfectly captured the relatable loser aspect of Peter Parker while lacking in the quip department and Andrew brought the needed charm and humor of Spidey but wasn't a very good loser. Josh Keaton is the only Spidey who's done both perfectly, despite it all being voice acting.

As for the movies, I'd say I prefer the old ones. Why? Well they had a tone: Make it feel as classical as possible as a nod to the 60s and 70s of Spidey.

Marc Webb just didn't realise what movie he was trying to make: The first one was basically a teen romance with some action added in it. The second....hell I don't even know. Webb completely changed the tone and everything so that it didn't even feel like a sequel. This one as Webb trying to embrace his inner Michael Bay.

Plus, Peter was written better in the original two movies. He was more likable as a character and thus, I'd rather root for him.

In the end, you can't really win an argument against the Webb fans. They will always overpower you in debates based on the number popularity.

"Tobey was too much of a loser to play Peter Parker!"
"Tobey was too nerdy!"
"Tobey was ugly"
"Tobey wasn't very social!"

-Webb fans. Because it's not like Peter Parker fits any of these descriptions.....right?

@Lhornbk

"Because in Raimi-world, all New Yorkers are nice people who are selfless and stand up for their heroes."

"YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US"

^^ It was post 911, You A-hole. That's why the New Yorkers stood up to Green Goblin on the bridge in the first one too

"Because all garbagemen in Raimi-world are stupid. In the real world in New York City, they probably work for a mafia boss"

Uh, Was this a joke, or do you really believe that All Garbage in NYC work for the mafia?

I'm starting to realize why I can't have a conversation with anybody that doesn't recognize the many flaws of the Amazing Spiderman franchise. Please reboot the franchise before Spiderman is ruined forever

" before Spiderman is ruined forever"

That boat has long sailed, my friend.

@ DrKinsolving

I'm not even a film director at Hollywood or Sony studios and I can even probably choose out better casts than their directors can.

Zac Efron, Tyler Posey, Dylan O Brien, and Josh Hutcherson are all strong picks for Spider-man than Andrew Garfield by a TON, so much to the point where I can say "alot" at least 10 more times. There are probably more than them out there though.

Ryan Merriman also would've been a better option over Andrew Garfield. If Spider-man was recasted with him, it would be a tremendous upgrade over Garfield.

@ HenryT212

I think both Garfield and Webbs are a problem.

Flawless my dick.

zac efron as spidey? yeah right-_- sorry but andrew garfield has nailed the character of spiderman. raimi got peter and spiderman right at some places but peter is the biggest issue i had with the original series as he never evolved into much of a person. there are plenty of actors who can do better than tobey. i was glad that josh hutcherson almost got the role but seeing andrew playing peter and spidey was magnificent. if sony hadn't meddle with the movie he would've been on par with RDJ.

oh who am i kidding. the people on this sight have proven to be jerks with their pervertedness, their mannerisms, and them posting cosplays of only women and let's not forget the whole shailene woodley incident.
