A director who decided to tell a new story about this book, making it his own creation and trying to beat the original trilogy by not repeating the same mistakes the other movies did. This remake only happened because Sam Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 because he felt he couldn’t make its summer release date and keep the film’s creative integrity. But instead of this series being something new it ended up copying the first movie, without any uplifting characters and storylines that are meant to be a big deal in the movie but are brushed off as if it was never written. The director tried to do something new by bringing up Peter’s parents, but this storyline was never famous in the comics, so it just made the movie more confusing to understand. It never figured out how to integrate this new building block with the pieces already in place. Every scene that was supposed to cause drama just felt bland because the characters weren’t compelling enough.

 

The reason why I agree with this article is because there is a difference between creativity and originality vs just copying the previous films which seemed as if they weren’t inspired and this movie was only made as a cash grab. How is the audience supposed to be excited for this film when the film didn’t take the character seriously. They tried a new style in this movie, but it just didn’t seem as Spiderman movie, Peter’s character was changed and he was no longer relatable, the only good thing about this movie was the relationship between Peter and Gwen, but that was ruined in the second one. The Amazing Spider-Man also made adjustments to Spider-Man’s very familiar origin story but, once again, the changes fall flat. Peter Parker’s motivation for becoming Spider Man feels out of character, Uncle Ben’s death is entirely avoidable and the twist that only Peter could’ve developed powers from the Spider bite removes the everyman quality that defines Spider Man in the comic books. Spider-Man Homecoming and Far From Home does exactly the same with Peter’s Stark connections and, in both cases, Spider-Man is made far less relatable. You can no longer connect with this character like you did in the comics because his whole origin was completely changed in order to make it modern or more compelling but instead you’re just not invested in this character anymore.

 

“This franchise didn’t tell a great story, but it was one hell of a cautionary tale.”
