THEY REMADE SPIDER MAN! AFTER 5 YEARS! Yes they did, because they HAD to!

"I can't believe that they remade Spider Man!"

"I know yeah! Wasn't it only like, 5 years ago since they released the movie?"

SHUT UP! Jesus! Yes, they remade Spider Man! You want to know why? BECAUSE THEY HAD TO! Now I'm not exactly Miss IKnowEverythingAboutComicBooks but I do know the basics. Only because you watched the films  doesn't mean you know everything! Because what I am about to tell you will shock some of you. Ready? THE SPIDER MAN MOVIES ARE WRONG! ALL WRONG! Sam Raimi messed it up and forced Marvel to remake the franchise from scratch!

"What, Sam made one silly mistake and know we have to go through it all again?"

He didn't just make one mistakes, he made a disaster! And it all started with the first Spider-Man movie! Here is the summary from IMDB:

Based on Marvel Comics' superhero character, this is a story of Peter Parker who is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighborhood girl Mary Jane Watson. To say his life is "miserable" is an understatement. But one day while on an excursion to a laboratory a runaway radioactive spider bites him... and his life changes in a way no one could have imagined. Peter acquires a muscle-bound physique, clear vision, ability to cling to surfaces and crawl over walls, shooting webs from his wrist ... but the fun isn't going to last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn administers a performance enhancing drug on himself and his maniacal alter ego Green Goblin emerges. Now Peter Parker has to become Spider-Man and take Green Goblin to the task... or else Goblin will kill him. They come face to face and the war begins in which only one of them will survive at the end.

Can you see what's wrong with the picture here? No? Ok let me help you.

Peter Parker who is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighborhood girl Mary Jane Watson.

THERE! THERE IT IS!

"Where's what?"

Mary Jane Watson

"What about MJ?"

NEWS FLASH! Mary Jane Watson isn't Peter Parker's first and only true love!

"What! That's not true! So what, why should it matter that MJ isn't his true love?"

FINALLY, to the point of this entry! Peter's only ever loved one person and that was Gwen Stacey. But why remake the movies? Because of this:

This is Gwen being thrown of golden gate bridge by The Green Goblin, luckily Spider Man is there to save the day! But just one second, look closely at the middle frame. How many noise affects can you see? One? I see two! SWIK and SNAP. Obviously the SWIK is the sound of Spider Mans webs attaching to Gwen's leg but that is the SNAP?  

That, ladies and gentlemen is the sound of Gwen Stacey's back breaking. Yes, you guessed it.... Spider Man killed his girlfriend.

In reality, Gwen was going to die either by the fall or by Spider Man trying to save her. But it's not her death that is the issue with the movies, it's what happened to Spider Man after her death. Peter felt guilty and blames himself for her death , like his uncle, thinking he had failed to save them. Her and Ben's death act as sore reminder that Peter needs to prove, push himself more and more.

There are other reasons why they remade the movie but this is the main one. This is why Peter Parker is trying to be a hero, he is doing good to make up for what he has done bad. Redemption, that is Spider Man reason.
