Spiderman 4 Plot So Bad You Might Thank SONY

The news of Sam Raimi being kicked off the Spider Man 4 project and the entire film being squashed got quite a negative fan reaction. However not as nearly bad a reaction as the word the film franchise was being completely rebooted. Now alot of us came out saying WTF why would SONY do that but in fairness having now read the plot for Spider man 4 I am starting to feel thankful the studio killed this monstrosity. NY MAG say the following in reference to the Sam Raimi Spider man 4 Script ( NOTE: he didn't write the script, this is the story he was pushing for );

"Peter Parker gets over MJ, finds a new girl, falls in love. But: Peter also discovers her father is actually the Vulture, a naughty green guy with wings to be played by John Malkovich. Peter is torn between the love of his new lady and taking down the Vulture. Being a Spandex tight-ass, he decides to take down the Vulture, and kills him.

This patricide goes down poorly with Peter’s new fiancee, and she rejects him. Despondent, Peter decides to abandon his superpowers, and Movie No. 4 ends with Peter Parker throwing away his Spider-Man mask, and audiences wondering if they are watching Superman II."

NY Mag has alot more on the whole deal including an angle on how AVATAR helped Kill spider man so hit their site for more. I love Sam Raimi and his movies but seriously this concept really is Superman 2 all over again. I guess we can just be thankful we wont have to see Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane anymore and lets be honest Toby Maguire is a bit old at 36 to be playing a College student. Not a fan of the reboot of Spider man but definitely less a fan of this plot concept and the cast they HAD.
