Spider-Man 4 (w/ Spider-Man 3: Raimi Cut & Venom)


Spider-Man 4 (w/ Spider-Man 3: Raimi Cut & Venom)
The Issue
Sam Raimi, a famous film director, a great person to many. But not everyone is perfect and we can all make mistakes. Raimi failed to deliver the threequel to 2002 blockbuster Spider-Man. The Spider-Man trilogy of films follows the story of young, nerdy student Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), who, after being bitten by a genetically modified spider, caused him to gain spider-like abilities. Peter uses these powers for himself, as a way to make life easier, but when his Uncle Ben Parker (Cliff Robertson) is killed by a criminal Peter let slide, he learns that with great power comes great responsibility. So he becomes a web-swinging, wall-crawling, crime fighter in the city of New York, taking down the bad guys, while also struggling with money issues between him and his aunt May (Rosemary Haris), relationships with best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco) and love interest Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), trying to prove Spider-Man a citywide hero to Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) as well as keeping his identity as Spider-Man a secret to all. Throughout the saga, he battles several crimelords who seek to get rid of Spider-Man, such as the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe), Doctor Octopus/Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), and many more. Critics ultimately praised the first two Spider-Man films due to extreme accuracy towards classic 60s Marvel Comics' Spider-Man stories, as well as visual effects and performances. However, Spider-Man 3 was panned for its misleading and overpopulated storyline. However, many fans within know it was not director Raimi's fault. Due to arguments over the storyline with Sony, the film series' distributor, Raimi had to combine the two script versions: the one Sony made, and the one he made. This caused the film to seem confusing, and the panning of the plot to cancel the upcoming fourth sequel and Venom spin-off starring the villain Eddie Brock/Venom (Topher Grace) from Spider-Man 3. This disappointed fans and many folks believe that the reboot of the series released in July 2012 titled The Amazing Spider-Man which starred Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker was inferior to this saga and the third reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker (as well as Micheal Keaton as the Vulture, the planned villain of Spider-Man 4), was considered more childish than inspirational (though still outstanding). But we can't lose hope now. Tobey may not be the best Spider-Man in all our eyes, but he surely is the most inspirational. So Marvel, Sony, Columbia, if you hear our voices, please respond to us, at least give us, a chance to see a better version of Spider-Man 3. If the Snyder Cut for Justice League exists, then the Raimi Cut for Spider-Man 3 should too. So bring it on, Sony. Show us the true Spider-Man 3. And while we're at it, if the Raimi Cut goes well enough, how about continuing the saga until up to Spider-Man 4. The Marvel fanbase knows what we need. So let's do it. Tobey fans, assemble!
P.S. Pizza Time!
