The Scene That Explains Why Spider-Man Worked and Amazing Spider-Man Didn’t | SCENE FIGHTS

Spider-Man and the Amazing Spider-Man are two similar--but very different movies. Raimi launched a new era of superhero films, while Amazing Spider-Man struggled to forge a new way forward for the franchise. In Scene Fights we break down two similar scenes, that highlight the successes and failings of each film.

My theory has always been that Sony had no idea Spider-Man was a comic book character. They just assumed it was a movie they did back in 2002. So they decided to remake that, but there was one comic fan who suggested peter make his web shooter, Gwen Stacy be the love interest etc etc

Those bridge/train scenes are some of the best scenes in cinema-absolute masterpieces! One thing to note: the “corp” in Oscorp is for corporation, not an army corps.

[@eddiephoenix9698]

It's only now i figured that the two movies have different aspect ratio. The height of Raimi's Film is adding more to the "epicness" of a superhero story as it leaves room for "larger than life" characters like spider-man. I'm more fond of this apect ratio rather than the "flat" wide shots, which is more common in cinema.

[@alexmikhylov]

both are good in their own right the western set in the great prairies will look better in 21/9 - it would be a "horizontal movie" another good example - scenes from Interstellar set on the water planet spider man is set in a skyscrapers filled NY - a very much a "vertical" landscape, and spider-man literal and metaphorical up and down swinging makes it a "vertical movie", so it benefits from a higher frame I made this all up I actually love when movies change aspect ratio throughout a runtime - it's a very simple yet powerful visual instrument

[@eddiephoenix9698]

@@alexmikhylov totally agree with you. I love how in Westworld season 2 and 3 they are changing between aspect ratio. and yes, both variations have their value. It is just my opinion, that in most cases, a higher frame is more complementary for the eye. But as you pointed out: in western as a common example, a wider shot is better especially for landscape shots.

[@ericdxfan511]

I never liked Spider-Man 1's Aspect Ratio (1.85:1) and was glad that they went with the scope aspect ratio (2.39:1) for the sequels.

[@Abatteries]

@@ericdxfan511 That's fair since the aspect ratio in the sequel is the convention, but I preferred the original because it made the comic-book styled cinematography feel even more comic-booky. To me it felt like panels coming to life instead of a movie

[@jordanherkowski5052]

Remember Marvel and Sony had reached a deal to include the Oscorp building from The Amazing Spider-Man in the NYC skyline in The Avengers but it was too late to include it by the time they reached a deal. So the reason why all those cranes are there technically is rebuilding after the Battle Of New York.

[@amon8977]

The Battle of New York? You mean the Avengers' Battle of New York? But TASM was not part of the MCU. 🤔

[@anxxxiiiiiiiious]

@@amon8977 Thats what Jordan is saying. Sony & Marvel had made a deal in 2012 to include TASM Spider-Man into Marvel with little baby steps. They were gonna start with including the Oscorp tower in the Avengers and referencing the New York battle in TASM. But the deal never reached a complete closure because there were delays in production. So the cranes are actually there cause the city's been rebuilding since Avengers

Spiderman worked because it made sure that the moral was clear that anyone can be spider man But amazing Spiderman told us that your father needs to be a very famous and intelligent scientist who fucking made a radioactive spider for his son and he needs to make sure that he also recorded it about what he should do. So yeah everyone got the point right!

[@amon8977]

YES! I always hated that part of the TASM movies. It's like saying that his father gave Peter his powers and opportunity as a superhero. Anyone can be Spider-man. It may not be literal but it just means that anyone can be a hero in their own ways. Powers or no powers.

[@isaiahbarton7507]

Short version: in this world "spider man" is just a cross species plan that wasn't ready. Long version coming up!

[@isaiahbarton7507]

As seen in tasm 2, those spiders were being used because they can heal themselves, oscorp wanted to find a way to apply that to humans, and in the process, Richard Parker made a startling discovery which prompted him to disappear. Now how does that disprove your opinion? Well, let me explain. Since Richard's disappearance, oscorp has been tinkering with cross species genetics, as seen in tasm. Skipping the obvious stuff like the lizard and shit, the spiders were kept alive and then Peter gets bitten and doesn't seek medical attention. Meaning that oscorp was still working with the spiders, but their work wasn't ready. But what does this have to do with Peter? Nothing. Here's why. Oscorp made it a point to keep anything related to his father's work secret. So Peter is just a kid with questions about his folks. So when he finds that his pops worked at oscorp, he follows the bread crumbs, and yeah spider bite happens. This doesn't show that you have to be the child of uber cool scientist to be spider man because the huge plan was to keep specifically him away from this. Why? Here's why. "Spider man" is just the cross species oscorp was planning for, they just weren't ready. Peter's courage and his journey throughout the movie is what makes him a hero. In Tobey version, it's an inspirational story about how anyone could be spider man. In this darker version, spider man is really just a cross species that work. It's just an oscorp plan, nothing more than just an experiment. In this world Peter is not special, he's just an experiment. Let's say Peter never found that his father worked at oscorp. Well, eventually oscorp would've perfected the spider plans and made spiderman and scientific breakthrough. Not a hero, just an over the counter drug. To sum up, it sucks. It's not inspirational, it's just bleak and unnecessarily sad, but it's real. Spider man is fun because he seems special, but in reality no one is. And it's a truth we need to accept. This version of spider man does. The truth in this movie is that no one is special, the lesson is that we don't have to be. We have our flaws and our losses, but if we can overcome it we could be better than special, we could be happy. Isn't that what spider man is all about? In the end, it doesn't teach us that you have to be someone specific to be spider man, it teaches us that we have to greater than what we suffer to be spider man.

[@amon8977]

@@isaiahbarton7507 That's what makes TASM's version sucky. They overcomplicated the origin story. A Spider-man movie can be dark, sure. But why overcomplicate the origin? Spider-man is relatable to his audience. He is not like those other superheroes that are rich or born with powers. Spider-man is fun because he is relatable. Relatable in a sense that his problems are what we experience daily. School problems, love life issues, small wage earnings, etc. Look at what they did with Tobey's version. Simple yet relatable and fun. That's why we love it. MCU took a different route without showing the origin but it's fine since we know it already but we saw what we experienced when we were in school as awkward teenagers. It's fun.

[@isaiahbarton7507]

@@amon8977 there was more to it than just those two movies. There was sinister six plans, and other oscorp stuff. Tobey was simple because it was just spider man and friends. Tasm was going to dive much further, creating a bigger world. Yes it's quite complicated, but it would have covered it's tracks and delivered. Maybe in over complicating the origins was to ensure that it's a different incarnation, not a lazy remake. Like the dark knight, there was so much more to that origin than other batman. They could've simply done a much similar origin as Tobey, but where's the individuality? Plus, the paradigm for superheroes is changing, not just movies, as a whole. The demand for complicated stories is growing. Honestly, this can be compared to daredevil series. This was made to be a much bigger world.

[@cxssetteman182]

Issues or Tropes with the Raimi Movies that I personally find kinda untrue- 1) MJ being a Damsel in distress- Somewhat true, but she was a living breathing character, and actually stood up for herself in certain situations. Remember, that she came from a Broken home and it's fine to be relying on a particular heroic figure. 2) Goblin Suit- I like it a lot, but u can understand some people not liking it, and I can see that it is a little "Power Rangery". But it's still better than what they initially had in mind. 8 year old Me bever minded it back in 2002, it looked sick af! The green did have a Purple sheen to it. It was like the colour coat that was popular amoung Import Tuner guys back then. There's an argument that they should have given him a military themed or a distressed cloak, but that would feel Outta character. 3) Venom being bad- Also disagree. Venom was pretty good and well-done, considering how forced and unwanted Sam felt about him. The Symbiote animation was so good, Venom 2018 can't even hold a candle against it. 4) Eddie being a turn-off- I liked Topher Grace as Eddie. I think it was a perfect contrast to Peter. Rather than being a Buff, Punkish, cocky Guy, he was more of a Smooth, Overconfident, Fast-talker. Kinda the opposite of Peter. I liked Eddie up until the Symbiote Takeover. 5) Spidey Suit looking old- Just shut up. It looks extremely beautiful, and it still is my Spidey Suit even after all these years. That would be the only suit which will be considered 'Vintage' in a couple decades. 6) Organic Webs- I actually didn't mind it at all. Of course, I was a kid so I didn't care much about these things. The only reliable Spidey media I had was the 1994 Animated Series that was dubbed and telecasted in my country since 1999. That's where I one of Spidey having Web-Shooters. We had Spidey comics, but they weren't organised properly, since the Comics were Printed by a company who collaborated with Marvel, DC etc. See "Gotham Comics" 7) The Black Suit- Okay, this is where I'm at 50-50. I like the one they used in the movie, but it isn't even a competition compared to the Classic Black Suit. They could have done something like 2-tone colours (like they used with Goblin) maybe a Black with Purple or Blue Highlights. 8) CGI- I think it was pretty brilliant, especially everything in Spider-Man 3 (The Sand and Symbiote Physics). There were some occasional duds, but apart from that it was great. Just check out the Burnin Apartment Fight Scene from the First one (2002). The Scenes here Spidey dodges the Pumpkin Blades is entirely CG. I could never make it out. I ways thought a person was dodging some projectiles in slow motion. 9) Relationship between MJ and Peter- I think it rather mature, along with the tone of those films. They simply weren't just Superhero Movies, they taught life lessons too. TASM series was pretty much teenage fantastic fan-fic. 10) Aunt May- Rosemary Harris was a natural in her role. She was very Motherly and always full of wisdom. That's what I want an Aunt to be. Aunt May from TASM was Bland, and the one from Tom Holland makes me want to stuff her like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Not exactly the appropriate emotion for that character. 11) The implied Rp Scene in Spider-Man 2002- Not many people talk about it, but a bunch of my friends do. It's a little creepy to think about it, and I always feel slight discomfort watching that scene as well as the fight. Spidey and MJ share the Classic Up-side Down Kiss within 3 minutes of the Scene. Don't get me wrong, that kiss is a beautiful moment on its own, but just a little uneasy compared how MJ almost got Rped had Peter not happen to change two damn busses just to meet her. 12) The Uncle Ben Killer retcon- This didn't bother me back in 2007, I even got shocked to find it. But after a while, I started feeling weirded out with it. Uncle Ben's death is too Classic, and I realised they probably did that to make Sandman feel more substantial, but it adds in a movie that already had too much going on already. Still, I loved Thomas Haden Church as Sandman.

Toby nailed his character of Peter Parker and Spiderman to perfection and was born for the role just like Christian Bale was for Batman and Jason Mamoa for AquaMan and many more such amazing actors who nailed their character roles to perfection... Amazing Spiderman has some best fight scenes and CGI and acceptable plot but the acting didn't touch the fans and give us the feels.

[@Iam-a-live]

@@David-hi8og but it would also be underwhelming to watch that Spidey if he is cooler when he is Peter. Yes spiderman is supposed to be confident and supposed to make jokes but peter is almost exactly opposite, a nerd, low self esteem. Tobey's peter is the best in my opinion, Tom's peter is passable but Andrew? That's not Peter Parker that's the guy every girl wants to be with but as spiderman it's almost opposite, Andrew is the best but shitty movies, Tobey is passable with great movies, Tom is gud with average movies and top notch cgi.

[@andres2731]

Bro tf are u saying literally garfield is the best spidey and tobey best peter lmao, honestly you complain about everything.

[@GaryTisdaleFungkSta1]

To me Toby had Peters persona but Andrew had Spider-Man's persona with the smart lipped smack talking, that those who grew up reading Spider-Man in the 60's know that's what him and Ben Grimm of the Fantastic Four is famous for. Those two would talk about your mother while giving you a beat down, that was the only thing that threw me off with Toby's portrayal, even the MTV cartoon had him talking smack cause that's one of Spidey's main parts of his persona.

[@indonnegarasampah3231]

Agree. Spidey once even said to Doc Ock that he is a villain that fight like a nerd.

[@kevinjmccloy5865]

Yeah, but just because it works in the comics, doesn’t mean it’s going to work on screen. Raimi’s action scenes don’t really call for quippy one liners, and anytime there is, it’s dorky like the established character in those films is. In these movies, while there are some genuinely good quips, I think the lizard fight has the quips utilised well, but for a majority of the movie and in TASM 2, Peter’s just a bit of douche. Which isn’t spidey. Yeah he quips, but he doesn’t just let innocent people die to tell his joke, the guy’s a superhero not a Stand up comedian. Was he hoping that the Rhino would feel so roasted that he’d stop the truck and get out to rethink his dodgy life choices? I feel like people jump on the quips far too much, but comics back in the day were filled with pointless dialogue, that works for comics because you read it. A film is a visual treat, if you can show something about your character without saying a word, then do it. Raimi gets this as a filmmaker, Tobey doesn’t need to quip during his final battles, and that usually signals to the audience that the situation is being taken seriously. And when he does quip in a fight, it shows he’s a bit more relaxed, like when Harry saves him in 3, he has a small quip after it, but it’s there to get us to smile at these two friends fighting side by side. Probably a longer comment than needed, but anyway the point is, Quips doesn’t equal great Spider-Man.

[@thementalitydisturbedcolli7430]

I disagree, the crane scene symbolises positive conciquences from Peters heroic actions and shows Peter the value of acting selflessly. I think it ties in very nicely with peters arc in the movie where he goes from being the victim being bullied by flash, then becomes the bully by seeking vengeance on the car thief. When finally in the bridge scene after saving the boy Peter see's the father and his son reunite, and he realises that he will never have this moment between him and ben, and that it is his responsibility to act selflessly. After all it was selfishness and being vengeful that got ben killed in the first place back when the store was getting robbed.

[@TGHunter]

No dude, the crane scene is obviously non-sense, there is no arc in the movie. ~sarcasm Its so retarded that ppl just throw off the whole movie points and reasons away just to make a single point to prove that one is better than the other one.

@@xshadowwreckerx7561 I don't think im biased here, i really like both movies, and i love all spiderman ones, even the third movie from the trilogy. I just don't blind myself and throw every argument out of the window because i prefer one thing over the other. My fav spidermans are the cartoon Spectacular one and the MCU one. But i love what the other offers, and i try to know the mistakes too. Imo, Amazing 2 is the only one that is kinda meh on the plot, but the visuals of the movie are still incredible. I can be ok with ppl just liking something more than something else, but again, throwing the whole thing out and not considering its good parts is not a good view to have imo.

The crane scene shows that heroes don't need to have powers. It's the people doing what they can do to help others. A great power brings great responsability.

[@catchannel1484]

The news woman didn't know Spider-Man was heading to Oscorp because the script said so. She knew because the Lizard was at Oscorp, and Spider-Man was clearly heading in the direction of Oscorp. Not in that particular shot, but considering Spider-Man seemed to be moving in the direction of Oscorp, Oscorp was evacuated, and the Lizard was inside of Oscorp at the time, it's not that hard to put the pieces together. Also, the point of the cranes was so Spider-Man could swing, and didn't have to wall-run. This movie was going in a more realistic direction, and Spider-Man can't do his classic swinging by shooting webs onto the side of buildings. There are a couple scenes that break that rule, but that was still the intention.
