[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

I'd like to see a tragedy. 90% of super-hero movies are the hero's journey, which is fine, but I'd like some variation. Something like Revenge of the Sith but in the Spider-Man universe. The Morbius IP had the potential to be a tragedy, but alas it was not meant to be. Or you could have a family movie, like The Incredibles, but with the symbiotes, where Eddie, Venom, Carnage, and Riot each have to learn to individually grow as characters and get along with each other.

“You have Spider-Man, the greatest of them all.” This line is incredible. Out of all the Marvel characters, of all the great and amazing stories in Marvel, Spider-Man has always been the big one.

Edit: I forgot to mention Superman, whoops haha.

[@ribottostudio]

The very first movie I TRULY remember seeing and EXPERIENCING in theaters is Spider-Man. The one that came out in 2002. It was a film that I think America really needed. The scene with all of the New Yorkers defending and helping Spider-Man, or Spider-Man ALWAYS in front of an American flag at some point usually during the final swing, might feel cornball to some younger audiences, but you need to remember the time frame and context of this movie....it's hard to explain an IMMEDIATE post 9/11 America to the Zoomers and Alphas. All they know is "well that's a HISTORICAL event that happened." and they live in a world that's always been post 9/11. They don't remember a time with the Twin Towers. But imagine it like having extreme anxiety just all the time, and you know WHY but you don't have a cure all for it. You can't really talk about it cause no one WANTS to talk about it how do you talk about the things you saw, the things you heard, the reason why what happened happened after all...But we just want to remember it and never forget what happened. Action films kind of died when 9/11 happened. That genre was effectively revived THANKS to _Transformers 2007_ and _Iron Man._ While _Spider-Man_ helped comic book movies feel like they could be taken seriously, _Iron Man_ helped them get into the spotlight post 9/11. When I saw _Spider-Man_ in theaters, and still to this day, there's this sense of...I'm not sure what to describe, but SOMETHING with Spider-Man. I think it's maybe sheer willpower. He has more heart than I think any hero out there. Spider-Man is my favorite hero because....Spider-Man teaches you that you're going to screw up. It's going to happen, and it's going to be bad. But Spider-Man also teaches you that the only way to get through it is that you never, ever quit. It's not easy, but even if it seems impossible, you can beat anything that stands in your way. But it has to start with YOU. What YOU want to do. You can't do something because someone ELSE told you something inspiring. Sure Ben's words do inspire Peter, but only AFTER he made that bad decision. The only way Sony will be able to have their own universe with Spider-Man, is if they remember what makes Spider-Man....Spider-Man. He's not Batman. He's not Iron Man. He's sometimes part of a group sure, but mostly a solo act. And that's okay. Not everything needs to be connected. In fact the superhero film scene might be better off for it. Each Spider-Man story is so different so unique. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man is really a story about figuring yourself out. Andrew Garfield's story is one about loss and how to deal with loss. Tom Holland's story, is a story about growing up. Which at the core, is what Spider-Man is about; he teaches people what it's like to grow up. And when Sony remembers what and who Spider-Man is....that's when they'll be able to swing into the spotlight.

[@RegularJ.Studios]

Nice. Spider-Man is to me that no matter how many times you get knocked down. No matter how many mistakes you make. That he always gets back up. What makes Spider-Man great is that at its core. What makes him so great and why he's consider one of greatest superhero of all time. It's also amazing that back then Stan Lee may he R.I.P thought of this idea. Of making a hero relatable. And inspiring. Was never been done before. When he first approach about his idea. It was laughed at was hated. But he still did it in Amazing Fantasy 15. Sony needs to learn this too. That you need to take chances. To have faith. And to start trying. That's what happened with Stan Lee when he created Spider-Man. Spider-Man to me is also a friend. Like what I said with Superman he's a friend in the neighborhood. Spider-Man is a friend to New York. A friendly neighborhood hero. Who swings up high with the neighborhood. Near the people. Spider-Man deserves better. And even when he can't pay the rent, let's down his friends, his girlfriend, and his family. He still at his core gets back up. Stronger than ever. To keep on trying. To keep on swinging higher and higher. To keep on believing. And also doesn't matter who wears the mask. Because at his core Spider-Man remains to me the friendly neighbor. Who swings up into the sky.

Honestly... I'd make a big budget TV show with a villain of the week formula. Spider-man would be in college, experienced and getting tired of being spider-man. Story Arcs could span a few episodes or culminate into a season finale. Peter would start off resenting being spiderman. But he helps a criminal working under Kingpin -to pay for his daughter's treatment- leave crime and live with his daughter. After that, Peter would have a friend who knows all the details about organized crime. Peter now respects being spider-man after seeing the good he can do first hand. When the show itself is done, and the proper characters are built up, then I would make a big live action movie like edge of time or spider-verse or the death of spider-man. And eventually after that, miles takes over and may cross over to meet MCU Peter after he lost everyone he's ever loved. (Ah... Classic Peter...)

[@kedsarama]

Although I hate on the MCU a lot, I can respect the work that went into crafting the entire universe of films, and I appreciate the risks they took early on.

And no, Spidey definitely does not need (as much as I love RDJ) Ironman...

[@jimmydcriket4086]

Here's what I would do: Start off with Tasm 3 right after no way home, Peter 3 returns to his universe with a new outlook on life, he want to be Spider-Man again not the murderer but the hero. He is shunned by the public but he does his best to prove he's better now which catches Harry's attention who hadn't been interfering since he started killing because he knew he was already suffering, but here he is a new man. Harry gets a team together, he doesn't have time for the big boys so he makes a team of low level paid contractors: Beetle, Kangaroo, Tinkerer, Prowler, shocker and finally himself to form the sinister six. Peter goes through a journey to get back in touch with aunt may and meet MJ, through the movie he reflects on Peter 2's words of making it work with his MJ so he decides to start a relationship with her. He fights the six and beats all of them except beetle who cuts his loses and leaves. Finally he's beat Harry and is about to kill him for Gwen but remembers not only the other peters but MJ, so he spares him. The movie ends with Peter being his best version of Spider-Man and a PCS where miles Morales gets bit by the spider Harry had been working on Next I'd do venom 3 where it's basically Eddie and venom are in new York and see Peter fighting with a villain so they decided to help and get pretty damaged, to the point where Eddie needs to be taken to the hospital but before leaving he gives venom to Peter so they won't detect it in the hospital. Peter uses it polar opposite to Eddie, he doesn't let venom be full form and asks him to be along the outline of his suit and have a spider logo. Basically the rest is a buddy cop movie with venom going back to Eddie by the end with a nice spider logo. Finally is Ultimate Spider-Man where Miles comes forward and Peter trains him. Pretty much the PS4 game but at the end of it Harry uses a new serum to become the green goblin from the ultimate universe and kills Peter leaving him as the only Spider-Man. That's pretty much what I've come up with

Great video as always. I said before that Andrew should probably be Sony’s Spider-Man but only under the condition that he and the director get full creative control. Maybe they could adapt the story with Sin Eater and Jean DeWolff and set it before NWH. Also Miles should 100% hail from the TASM verse while Mayday Parker hails from the Raimi verse.

Gotta say man, I’m loving these more positive videos. Because like Raimi’s Spider-Man, I grew up with him just as much as I grew up with you. I hated Snyder for his DCEU and all the rest. I basked in their ‘failure’ but now that I’m in my 20s, I say who cares. Life is too short to be so angry. And I love that your videos reflect that.

In a perfect world, I would bring back Webb and Raimi to finish their stories. Honestly that’s all I would want at that point.

[@caiguycrafter]

This is 8 months old by now, but I just wanted to thank you for touching upon the fact that Spider-Man should be set in its own universe with his own villains. I never really liked multiverse stories that much. I just think that a superhero should stick to their own storylines without being messed up by other ones. That's why I don't think the Tom Holland trilogy is amazing or anything, because his Spider-Man story was affected so much by the Avengers. Additionally, I completely agree that Spider-Man should have his own villains that are not ripped from another universe's rogue's gallery. I found it both cool and stupid that Tom Hardy just came in, teasing that he and Holland would duke it out, just to reveal that he was the catalyst for the venom of the MCU. No, I would much rather have Tom discover the MCU's specific symbiote, not the symbiote from another universe. It decreases the impact of the stories when you realize that it's not actually their villain. It's like your children dying and then getting the same children from another universe. Yes, they're kinda your children, but they're not actually YOURS

[@RandomCarGuy17]

In my mind, Sony should do both by letting the MCU do its own thing with Spider-Man and bring Andrew Garfield back. No Way Home introduced the idea of different Spider-Men to the general audience, so they should be open to seeing more than one action portraying the same character. Though I honestly want one more Sam Raimi movie with Toby, because I felt Raimi was cheated out of making the 3rd movie he wanted to make. and that irritates me.

[@literallyvergil1686]

[@realbowlingbunny]

Personally, I wouldn't bother with Miles. Lord and Miller have him down to a T and made the character actually good and I trust they'll also nail Miguel O Hara. Instead of passing the torch to Miles, why not pass it to Mayday? To Ben Reilly? To Annie? Spider people who people don't recognise but can learn to love them. Annie or Mayday, I'd like to see set in the Raimiverse but Ben would only work in the Webbverse. However, I'd like to see Mayday become Sony's definitive Spider instead of going predictable and 'Barbara Gordon'ing it.

[@Coolgamer54321]

Nah bro, Miles deserves a live action portrayal at some point it would be dumb not too, but it definitely won't come anytime soon since well be getting more animated miles films for the next three years so would possibly like 6-7 years for that idea of live action to come into fruition

[@themadtitan7603]

Don't know how long I've been waiting for this very video. This is exactly what I've been saying since Venom - Sony should've embraced a different structure for their universe than the MCU since Day 1. Fundamentally, because they make movies about villains and morally grey characters. Yet they're all given the same hero journeys and are pit against even bigger scumbags with similar power sets by these movies' climax. People enjoy the Venom movies and more power to them but personally, I could never get into them just out of the sheer wasted potential I notice when seeing actors like Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams and Woody Harrelson put in a dumb-fun Fast and Furious flick instead of a character study that explores Eddie Brock's dark, tragic backstory intertwined with Spider-Man. Joker, regardless of your opinion on it, might be the only CBM that pulled off being a SUPERVILLAIN movie and not just a superhero one starring a known comic-book villain. A slow descent into darkness Venom, a Frankenstein tragedy Morbius movie, a Black Cat heist film with B and D-list villains, a political thriller Silver Sable film, etc... This is the universe we could've had if film execs still didn't think an extended universe could only be done like the MCU.

Morbius and Venom need a recast and reboot. This requires talented actors, good screenwriters, and a director who can convey the right tone, and all this without the control and intervention of SONY producers. It would be better if they were shown as villains first. Their confrontation with Spider-Man create a contrast, making them more interesting. And only after that it would be possible to make them antiheroes. Venom could become a Lethal Protector, and Morbius could fight Blade, become part of the "Legion of Monsters" or "Midnight Sons" team in MCU.

Adapt her story from being bit by the same spider as Peter to being a human test subject used by Oscorp to recreate Spider-Man's powers. They succeeded but kept Cindy against her will in a lab for years as they tested and expiremented on her to keep trying to recreate the process that gave her powers. Then through some means, Peter finds out and frees her. He would then take her under his wing. This idea popped in my head recently and I quite like it. Cindy is not as popular as Miles currently is from what I can tell, but I think it would be an interesting tragic character to look at.

Simultaneously, I would be down to see Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi return for one more movie. But, only if it’s a project of passion and not of greed from Sony.
