It was announced recently that Sony Pictures is "rebooting" their Spider-Man series. New director, new actors, etc.
I have had ample time in my two years of being on Earth with Jix to go through the comics. I get bored.
Y'know, I watched these movies and I have to say, Raimi's Spider-Man isn't a very accurate depiction of Spider-Man. Let's roll down the list.
1) His voice. He sounds prepubescent...through ALL THREE MOVIES! I mean, his voice is higher than Jix's and Jix is a little Ambis. She has a high, squeaky voice. (Of course it gets deeper and meaner as Remula and a little more tomboyish as Lamerix, but...uh...where was I going with this?) If any of them has a deeper voice than an adult human male, this person lacks...hmm...what's the word for it? Cajones? Yes, Tobey Maguire sounds like a eunuch. As I've never had cajones myself, I can't really say I feel sorry for him, but from what Caligos and Paul tells me, this is sad. Tobey, you are just "Spider" without the man part. I mean, I'm an alien machine and I'm more man than you. A failure is you. Not saying you should have a deep voice, but COME ON! Don't sound like a little girl.
2) The jokes. Unlike a lot of Ambis androids, I have developed a sense of humor. Such as...when I see humans slip on ice, I laugh. Ironic deaths are funny, too. So when I watched the movie, I was surprised how few one-liners he had. There were a couple like when he called The Green Goblin "Gobby," but nothing was all that funny. Did Sam Raimi never read a Spider-Man comic? 'Cause Spider-Man is constantly being told to shut-up.
Other than that, they wasn't anything else too terribly bad about the movies...except for three. But here's the kicker: they got the MAIN CHARACTER WRONG! Wow, that's a bad formula and it made the first two movie decent and the third one really bad.
Please fix these things in your reboot, Sony.
