That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The scriptment is VERY sexually charged. One of the first things you learn about Peter is that he’s a virgin, which ultimately has no bearing on the plot. I get it- the powers are supposed to represent puberty, but it’s super gratuitous in this.

Part of me really wishes this film happened but mainly for the dark weirdness, but we still got that with Raimi's near perfect take. Plus some of his scenes had the darkness, grit, and weirdness in spades, like Spiderman defending MJ from attackers in a dark alley, the final punch up between Peter and Norman, Otto's arms coming to life and killing yhe surgeons trying to save him, or Spidey's brutal take down of Sandman in the subway.

[@scatterbrainedreviews]

I didn’t expect to think that if you cut out the Peter being a creep, this is a pretty interesting sounding story. The pacing would definitely fascinate me, it sound like a lot for one origing film but honestly it sounds cool! However, Raimi and Webb are fiiine with me!!!

[@reversalmushroom]

I guess I'm not much put off by the creepy protag trope as you because I grew up with it and consider it normal. How many protagonists have we seen since before the mid-2000s that liked to spy on women? Even kids shows like Danny Phantom and Naruto had it.

Call me crazy, but I think an angsty version Spider-Man that’s slightly more violent towards criminals could make sense, if executed properly. Think about it, Peter Parker was bullied a lot in high school by people like Flash Thompson. Maybe Cameron’s film could’ve explored how the bullying would rub off on Peter in a negative way that also affects how he operates as Spider-Man

The ultimate story line is this. They made a game for it and a show that is loosely based on the comics but the comic run was really good and the origin of miles morales.

[@alpharunt1588]

Everything was going great, and all parties were excited about making the movie. Then Stan Lee said, you know what'd be great, a Spider-Man movie. Cameron then started gushing like a fanboy with Stan about this, and the X Men movie was never discussed again.

I’ve always wanted to see a bright Spider-Man in a dark world. I’m currently writing a Spider-Man series set in the 90’s with grunge/alternative rock as a backdrop. The world is dark and gritty, but Peter Parker/Spider-Man is the beacon of light and hope.

[@HemmasStudios_]

You are very welcome!

[@miklac90]

I actually like this story better than amazing 1 and homecoming. Especially the part about Spiderman going on tv shows to earn money. That’s directly ripped from the og comics. And lot of the motives of the characters make sense to me. Like mj/teenager seeking love to escape real world problems, peter acting selfish and being emotionally driven (that’s also exactly how he is in the first issue). It’s actually more believable for me for Spiderman to be not the first of his kind and those with these gifts are already in power behind the scenes quietly seeking others like them. Electro using negative media/smear campaign by bribing jj to turn Spiderman into a vigilante is a really nice tie in.

[@YeeterDeleter_]

for people who prefer dark and gritty storylines, this movie is for them, however, the way it's displayed in the script personally doesn't make it appealing to me, i can't root for this Peter, the villain choices are kinda wack for this type of story and the undertones kinda put me off overall

[@HemmasStudios_]

This is said so eloquently. I love it. The fact that it’s dark isn’t inherently bad. The way it’s portrayed and fleshed out is what puts me off from it, as well.

[@PatLund]

Peter being an asshole and kinda creepy is actually pretty accurate to the original comics.

[@HemmasStudios_]

Oh, yeah, for sure. But by the same token, I personally feel like the original comics do a lot of work to also make Peter somebody you could root for. I don’t think this story gets you there, but if Cameron got to make it, maybe he would have gotten us to root for him.

Whenever I think of James Cameron that one South Park episode with the "oh oh oh James Camerooon" song plays in my head when he was lowering himself into the ocean trying to raise the bar or check how low the bar has lowered I forget.

[@brandonspain12345]

I honestly really liked Cameron's treatment, and it's better than what people say. I didn't mind the darker tone because that's what was popular in the early 90s after the success of Batman 89. (Despite Batman Returns and TMNT 1990 effecting darker adaptations from happening.) I also liked the more aggressive Peter because that's the kind of kid that would act like that being bullied. I also prefer this Electro over the comic where he's basically Donald Trump with powers. (Come to think, this cartoony villain wouldn't be so cartoonish nowadays.) The suit's description sounded directly from the comics and even the large triangle lenses sounded McFarlane. And Camsron understood Peter's consequences and his responsibilities he has to learn. The downsides are some of the humors Is VERY 90s and really structure of the plot too. Also, M.J.'s character was really bitchy at first but thankfully she grew on me near the end. David Koepp wanted to use Cameron's story for the 2002 movie back in 1999 before using Goblin and Doc Ock and he even made a full script of Cameron's you can read on his website. Another thing is that because this would in the 90s, many things would be real on camera, a actual set, a real man swinging screws the city via helicopter, and Leonardo DeCaprio would actually wear a real suit on set that isn't covered in CG. And most of the effects I bet would look amazing with Sandamn, Electro's powers and Spider-Man's swinging shots. While I still love the Raimi trilogy better, It could've been fascinating to see this. If you're a fan of the TASM film, you're more likely to like this scriptment than if you're fan of Raimi's with the darker tone and more rebellious Peter. But Spidey is still here and there's still good highlights in there as well.

[@Gideon13397]

James Cameron would have definitely went full on with the CG though. He's pretty well known for that. Honestly, I think this would have turned out awful but in a good way, I for one would have liked to see it just for the experience of those bizarre sounding subplots. I can't count how many times I've read the treatment, half of it is actually decent, the other half is dull, weird and just plain stupid. Still this concept should be made as a fan film imo.

[@spectacularpoopfly8464]

A dark Spider-Man story that I enjoyed was the old Spider-Man manga from the 70s in that one he accidentally kills his first super villain because he mistakenly went full force with one of his punches which is what causes him to be more responsible with his powers warning some pages / chapters are missing some pages aren't even translated but overall it is a decent read

[@brandonspain12345]

Okay. I'm just gonna say it... This movie was NOT supposed to be rated R!!!! I am sick in tired of all these articles/vids saying it. All because it has ONE F-bomb? There so many PG-13 movies that had at least one in there. The sex scene on the bridge never went too graphic or any nudity in the scriptment. By that logic, Howard the Duck should be rated R because there was a sex scene in there. That was how 90s movies were made at at time. Even if everything was filmed, James Cameron would've had to take scenes like that out since this would out by a time when superhero movies were being geared towards children and a time when the 1994 Spider-Man series was just out. (The show couldn't have anyone say "kill" or "die" and guns had to have Lazer sounds) so can you imagine the amount of censored ship they would've used. Hell, Batman Returns's original script had R rated material taken out, like a scene with children being taken away and murdered by Penguin's circus gang, or the Penguin giving Catwoman a umbrella with a dildo in it.

They made a car together even though neither of them needed one. Watching him always improving but never quite becoming a full-on hero was the whole draw to his early run; you didn't root for him, you wanted to see the responsibilities he had to shoulder slowly turn him into a better person.

@@HemmasStudios_ You weren't supposed to root for Spider-Man. You were supposed to be invested in seeing this sorry jerkass rise up to the occasion and become a better person.

[@charlestonobryant807]

@@AbandonedVoid I don’t think that’s entirely true. While Peter did struggle a lot and wasn’t as altruistic at first, he was written to be more relatable than other heroes. He deals with real world problems and acts like most at the time would. He isn’t perfect cause people aren’t, and those imperfections and struggles are what attached to so many people. I think the closest we got to a Peter like this is actually Andrew Garfield’s. Until he saves the family on the bridge, he’s immature, selfish, and angry at the world, similar to his run.

[@zombiedalekweck2243]

I mean I wouldn't mind a darker Spider-man first film, like I expect him to lighten up and crack jokes later on though because Spidey just isn't that much of a dark hero, maybe if you decide to step into alternative universes where you find Spider-men like Assassin Spider-man. But overall it's good for a first movie of Spidey trying to find himself and tbh, if you gave a teen superpowers they definitely would do what he did in this movie.

Hey this is my third video from your channel. At first I suspected that this channel was just like Supervoid Cinema, I'm pleasantly surprised to say although your channels are similar the way you talk about movie scripts is kinda different with how you use stick figures, and puppets, while Supervoid uses more clip edits and scenes from from miscellaneous media. Anyways your script tellings are fun in their own way, so I'm happy to watch both channels. Maybe the two of you should do a collab sometime, That could be interesting!

[@HemmasStudios_]

Thank you for the kind words! Funnily enough, I didn’t even know of Supervoid until after I started doing these videos, once I found his channel, I was hooked. Doing a collab with him would be absolutely wild.

[@derekmason1881]

This is actually quite interesting. Somebody should make this into a One-shot or Graphic Novel, or straight to DVD animated DCAU style

[@ThatOneDude521]

I’m currently working on a Spider-Man series of my own, and surprisingly, this scriptment (along with the Ultimate comics) are big influences. It’s not a direct rip but the series is set in the 90’s with grunge/alternative rock as the score and backdrop. Peter uses music (namely Soundgarden) to cope with his situation and the world is really dark and gritty, however Peter is bright, happy, optimistic and acts as the beacon of light in a world of darkness. Sure he has moments where he wants to give up but he always remembers to keep his head up and do the right thing. It’s still in the planning stages so many aspects are subject to change but me and a close friend of mine are always making small bits of progress :)

[@gambeano]

I would've had faith with James. I mean he had titanic, terminator, alien under his belt. I see Raimi's films as perfect as spiderman can get, im happy with what we got, for the best. But this script gets written off too quickly by sensitive surface skimmers. Yea you're not wrong in thinking Peter's a bit creepy but its on paper. Terminator on paper wasn't supposed to work lol and it should be obvious that it was an earlyish script. Like I said I can't imagine anyone else doing such a good job as Sam did but James Cameron doing an actual marvel superhero movie is definitely intriguing.

[@TuPapiSuave69]

It would had been great. I don’t know if Tobey would had been so loved as he is now because technically he’s the original Spider-Man for us. Plus, I won’t believe Tobey would had been Spider-Man at all.

Tbh I think if this film was released today as just a standalone film, it could be successful with its darker tone that’ll help to stick out amongst the other superhero films of today. Also this seems most accurate to his comic origins where he acted like a dick before properly developing as Spider-Man

Peter basically using his power as Spider-Man to non-consensually bang MJ is super messed up though, I feel like if they cut that from the script and released it as is this would've been one of those obscure Spider-Man movies like the Japanese one.

This one doesn’t sounds terrible just doesn’t sound like Spider-Man in the beginning. It’s like I don’t know I feel like even tho Rami was not a Spider-Man fan when he made the film it felt like Spider-Man this one sounds like a anti hero lol

[@Gabreya]

I've heard about this script. It has some interesting and cool ideas and concepts. It's amazing that James Cameron was the one who came up with the idea of the organic web-shooters. In hindsight, I'm glad that the film was never made because the script sounded as if it needed a few more rewrites to fine tune it. Plus, we wouldn't have seen Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland's iterations of the character. After thinking about it for a while, the idea of an R-rated Spider-Man film does sound fascinating, despite the fact that the character is extremely popular with children and teenagers (and adults). It can potentially work if you're extremely careful with how you handle this character and how the story is written. I actually like some of the things in the script. I like the organic web-shooters, I like some of the action scenes, the villains were surprisingly pretty good, and the sexual undertones of Peter's metamorphosis were intriguing. But the script still had several problems that would've likely hindered the film. The writing was kind of clunky, at times, the story structure was off, and certain scenes just didn't feel quite right in terms of atmosphere. Yet, the biggest problem of all is that the main character was acting way out of character for the character he's supposedly based on. In this script, Peter Parker/Spider-Man behaved like an unbecoming, ill-tempered creep. I'm not saying that the character didn't behave like a moody, reckless jerk, at times. But, the way the James Cameron script had described him, it's like that's his entire personality. Not to mention, he does stuff in the script that keeps me thinking, "Is this really Peter Parker/Spider-Man? Who is this guy? Am I suppose to be rooting for this guy?" Look, there's nothing wrong with creating a different take of a well-known character, but it still has to stay true to the essence of that particular character. Paraphrasing what you said, James Cameron usually does a good job writing endearing characters. Yet, somehow, he basically missed the mark in this case and didn't seem to understand who the character of Peter Parker/Spider-Man truly is and what he represents. It's astonishing. I don't think that most people would've taken this version of the character too well if the film would've been made. Situations like this show that there's nothing wrong with doing some rewrites sometimes.

[@HemmasStudios_]

This is so eloquently said- I totally see where you’re coming from!

[@Gabreya]

@@HemmasStudios_ Thank you. I truly think that if James Cameron spent more time making sure that Peter Parker/Spider-Man was more likable and charming in this script, perhaps it would've been a bit better. One of the main things that you don't want, as a writer, is for the main character in your story to be unlikable and detestable to the point where the readers or audiences aren't rooting for him or her. And that's how I felt reading and listening to this script.

[@lucaskennington9101]

[@darknessnaxxion]

And yet haters say Cameron hated superhero cinema, despite Raimi taking quite a bit into making his films. Cameron hates how banal Cinema has gotten with The MCU buying it’s competition out. A film that could have been, and while I’m happy we have Raimi, it’ll always me ponder. He is a master filmmaker for a reason.

[@kuno3336]

The MCU isn't buying the competition out so much as doing whatever it takes to get the Marvel character rights back. Buying the competition would be them trying to buy the rights to DC from Warner Brothers

When films like Nightmare Alley we’re bombing, Tom Holland and Fiege, like Disney did with The Force Awakens did to Quentin Tarantino in 2015 with his release of The Hateful 8 (2015), decided to offer free refunds to go see Spider-Man instead, to quote: “This film is bombing and you’ll enjoy this more.” If that isn’t shady, I don’t know what is. Also, some theaters, despite other films months ahead to have a certain amount of openings for their film, we’re short cutted simply because of bribes from Disney. It’s evil. Screw all of them. It’s cooperate cynicism at it’s finest.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

There is a lot of Spiderman 1 and Amazing Spiderman in this script, from how Peter get his power, the angsty Peter have in his lash to Ben in Amazing Spiderman and the tattoo of Ben's killer in his hand, the organic Web shooters , his first kiss with MJ after beating some badguys in an alley...still not better than what we actually got with Raimi and eventually Webb, still you can see some blue prints of what James was cooking on the final products of Sam Raimi and Marc Webb Spiderman's films.

[@ProJatior]

Besides the sneaking to watch MJ... thing the progression of her character in this as far as her and Peters relationship is much better. That might be do to how she’s used in SM2 and much of 3. Especially since I don’t buy how Peter acted before the symbiosis after he went through this emotional distress in 2 then finally got her. I like the shy Peter we get in the Raimi movies though I’ve been told it’s not quite to that extreme in the comics. That’s fine by me I relate to it more. MJ herself never developed into the awesome supportive character in the Raimi movies. That might be due to studio interference with 3. I think Sam was dangling that carrot but it hadn’t delivered that proper crunch.

[@HemmasStudios_]

I think about that a lot- had they just left Raimi be on 3, how that relationship would be different.
