Spider-Man 3

One of the more controversial choices inSpider - Man 3was arguably a cunning move in the originalSpider - Manmovie trilogy . Sam Raimi ’s 2002Spider - Manremains one of the undecomposed and most influential pic in the superhero musical genre , bringing it to unprecedented heights . While not the first superhero blockbuster,2002’sSpider - Manproved that a great superhero movie can simultaneously be a faithful version of its amusing rootage fabric , appealing to both universal audiences and longtime followers of the comics . 2004’sSpider - piece 2kept the momentum of its predecessor , butSpider - Man 3 , unfortunately , was divisive due to a myriad of reasons .

Althoughthe live - activity Spider - Man movieretains many of its predecessors ' dependable facet – Sam Raimi ’s direction and Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst ’s classic Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson , for instance – the movie is often seen as overcrowded , with too many villains and plotlines . The movie is also widely mock for its portrayal of Peter Parker under the corrupting influence of the Venom symbiote . Arguably one of the more understated issues withSpider - Man 3 , however , is its decision to retroactively tamper with Spider - Man ’s origin from the original film . While this should be profanation , it arguably makes sense in context of use .

There Is Only One Story Every Version Of Spider-Man Must Get Right

Spider - Man ’s origination tale is the most important part of Peter Parker ’s characterization . Spider - Man was originally think as a one - scene character in the 15th issue ofAmazing Fantasy , by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko . Peter Parker ’s intact level boil down to an average – albeit brilliant – teenager who receive superpowers by accident and did not use them responsibly , which directly led to his Uncle ( and father figure ) being murdered by a criminal he should have stopped . The popularity of Spider - Man ’s first appearance quickly turned him into one of Marvel ’s flagship character , and Peter Parker ’s origin remains all important to understanding his type .

The fundamental message of Spider - Man ’s beginning – “ with great exponent , there must also come great duty ” – was to begin with simply narration in hisAmazing Fantasydebut . The phrase – sometimes speak as “ with heavy king comes great province ” – was later retconned to have come from Uncle Ben himself .

Spider - Man ’s stemma story has been adapted by numerouson - screen iterations of Spider - Man , but over sentence , it became increasingly unpopular for new adaptations to recite it , despite its importance . The Marvel Cinematic Universe , for instance , hop the origin of Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man entirely ( and may imply that it occurred importantly differently at that).The Amazing Spider - Manmovies represent a close enough adaptation of the classic origin for Andrew Garfield ’s Spider - Man , but2002’sSpider - Manhad themost exact version of Spider - Man ’s origin . This gave Tobey Maguire ’s Spider - Man the well possible foundation for his characterization .

Spider-Man 3’s Uncle Ben Retcon Made Peter More Susceptible To The Symbiote’s Influence

Spider - Man 3seemingly bankrupt this foundation too soon on by expose that Flint Marko – the Sandman – was Uncle Ben ’s true killer . The celluloid discover that Marko was an accomplice of Dennis Carradine – the criminal Peter Parker did not give up – and ab initio implies that Marko murdered Ben Parker in cold blood and would have done so even if Peter stopped Carradine . Spider - Man 3’sretcon completely nullified Peter Parker ’s moral of with child power and great province , undermining his motivation for using his power to help people . Yet this pick was in reality a cunning move , considering what follow this retcon .

Canonical Raimi Spider - Man spinoff materials reveal that Tobey Maguire ’s Spider - Man portion out a universe with many Marvel superheroes and supervillains .

The Venom symbiote bond paper with Peter Parker presently after he learns about Flint Marko ’s supposed role in Ben ’s end . The symbiote , of course , has a corrupting influence on Peter , gain him a more brute and selfish translation of himself . While the symbiote would have been a bad influence on Peter anyway , the fact that it bonded with him right after Peter ’s most authoritative moral object lesson was apparently nullified recontextualizes his abhorrent behavior as the symbiote - influenced Spider - Man . Not only is Peter grease one’s palms by the symbiote , but he also no longer believes in Ben ’s example about corking baron and great obligation .

Spider-Man 3 Fixed Everything In The End

By the goal ofSpider - Man 3 , however , the Venom symbiote is dead and Peter read about what truly happen the night Uncle Ben died . A guilt - ridden and remorseful Flint Marko reveals that Ben was talking him down from stealing his motorcar when Dennis Carradine break into him , startling him and get him to fatally shoot Ben . Marko understandably had no intention of harming Ben andif Peter Parker stop Carradine beforehand , Ben would not have pop off . As such , Spider - Man 3’sfinal reveal restored the lesson of great baron and expectant responsibility , despite its retcons .
