Humanistic? Since when aren't insanely evil people realistic and humanistic? How the fuck does making up some shit about Octavius being a nice guy at one time make him human? Hitler sure as hell isn't seen as being a nice guy to make him more human and he isn't even a comic book villian.

Realism? This is a movie about a fucking super hero.. you always should suspend belief. Him getting superpowers from a spider bite is in no way more realistic than him being a brilliant science student who makes his own innovation (webbing). Hollywood did this to put their own stamp on things, in the Spiderman movies cases it worked out not so horribly. Nothing would be as bad as what they did to Dr. Doom in the Fantastic Four movie. That movie got ruined before they made it into a movie.

Fixed.

(Fantastic Four sucks.)

You expect them to make the movie exactly like the comics just to please comic geeks? If they did and only geeks went to see the movie, the wouldn't make any money.
At first, I didn't like him being able to spin his own web, but I got over it and enjoyed the movies. They're MOVIES, not comics. Comics is a niche market. Niche = no money.

The problem is that dumb changes do not matter to the moviegoing populace because they do not know any better. For the most part, dumb changes are dumb because they do not make the story any better. For example, would taking 5 seconds out of the movie to have Peter Parker invent webbing have altered your enjoyment of Spider-Man? Probably not, but it would have done wonders for the fans.

Then there are things like making Jean Grey a doctor that the filmmakers go out of their way to put it that does not make sense. If they had decent writers, a film can stay true to its source and entertain at the same time.

I kinda liked how they changed spider-mans webbing. I always thought it was dumb when his webslingers would get crushed and all he could do was dance around.

Although Parker is supposed to be brilliant, I doubt it would have seemed realistic that a high-school kid somehow invents "spidey-webbing".

Yeah, I'm sure some 18yr old kid in public school can create a substance that is nearly unbreakable, can mold into whatever shape or design at will, and can stick to any surface.

Or how about the a device that can shoot the substance out with enough force to go for yards and it being being compact enough to fit on a persons arm without making their forearms look like popeye's.

Parker is the main character and you are supposed to identify with him the most. He's just a kid, a bright one, but still a kid.

Does them changing the way his webbing work ruin the character? No. We already know he's a genius in the movies by Osborn and Octavius being impressed by Parker's intellect.

[Eternus]

Yeah I never liked Fantastic Four either.. it was Dr. Doom I actually liked lol... I like alot of villians better than the heroes they fight. Hollywood seems to like to make supervillians ok people who were changed to be evil after some accident. Not all villians have to be like this.. I don't have to feel sorry for them. They also do not need to have a faked prior relationship to the protagonist either. Just because it worked with one villian does not mean you need to make them all this way.

I thought the reasoning behind that was he knew how to make it from the spider blood or somethign like that.

i have a feeling most of you did not read the original spiderman. i sugest you read these before you assume they did a horrible job on the characters and remaking them. this is a movie written in modern day not 1964 when the original dog oc and green goblin were made. they had to make the changes or the movie would have majorly sucked. most comic writers ret-con shit into exsistance anyways so why not change the movie? also read ultimate spiderman and ultimate x-men you will see the movies more closely resemble those rather than marvels 616 universe.

[Squallblade]

If his NORMAL crime fighting suit is now black in the new movie then that blows...but if it's black because of the symbiote then i understand.

That is one of the biggest banes of the comic book industry these days. Many books (read: nearly every DC Comic) are being altered to fit in with movies/cartoons/TV shows that were based upon the comic books. It is ok to bring villains up to the times or to give aspects of the books makeovers, but it sucks when they completely rewrite conflicting continuities every few years. (This was why DC needed the Crisis on Infinite Earths in the first place.)
