I have an idea to make Spiderman into a live action TV series. 10 seasons. 22 episodes per season.
Main Villains per season-
Season One: Doctor Octopus
Season Two: The Kingpin
Season Three: Green Goblin (Norman)
Season Four: The Lizard
Season Five: Mysterio
Season Six: Sinister Six (Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Rhino, Mysterio, Kraven)
Season Seven: Hobgoblin (Spiderman is wearing black suit and ends with him getting rid of it and Eddie Brock gaining it)
Season Eight: First Half is Venom, Second Half is Carnage, End is Venom and Carnage until the final episode when Venom teams up with Spiderman
Season Nine: Alistair Smythe
Season Ten: Green Goblin (Harry)
The very first episode will be a retelling of how he got his spider powers and him searching for the man that killed his uncle and the second episode will feature the first villain..Chameleon
One hour long episodes..40 something minutes if you take out commercials
J. Jonah Jameson will start out as a reporter with his father as editor in chief and throughout the first couple seasons he will take his fathers position. and i will have explanations as to why he doesn't trust Spiderman.
i will have other heroes make appearances including Human Torch, Daredevil, Hulk, Luke Cage, Wolverine and i chose Human Torch because i wanted atleast one of the Fantastic Four..not all because its too much and to put in Mr. Fantastic you might as well have all, Invisible woman is kinda boring and The Thing, i already have the Hulk so Human Torch wins. And I wouldn't really have to add on to add these characters. Hulk..he can be a villain for an episode..a man with an uncontrollable monster hidden inside of him to which Norman brings the Hulk out. Luke Cage already has a part in the Spiderman Universe..as do they all but i'll be using the EXACT storyline as from the comics where J. Jonah Jameson sends Luke Cage to take down Spiderman. Daredevil has a friendship with Spiderman plus The Kingpin. Human Torch also has spiderman history and could be played off as someone spiderman thinks is a bad guy until he actually meets Johnny. Wolverine is a mystery and lone superhero basically so no add ons needed. When i bring in the Sinister Twelve who will be ran by Harry rather than Norman cuz once he dies..hes dead..i don't want the whole hes dead hes back hes dead again crap. but when i bring in the Sinister Twelve, these heroes will help Spiderman..kindof my own Avengers for this series. It will end with Spiderman revealing to the world he is Peter Parker and Also revealing the Green Goblin is Harry. in the comics he did that to Norman but...norman is dead in my series. I have ALOT more ideas..i just dont feel like writing all of them lol but i will share with those who wanna know my other ideas
The show would focus more on character development than action scenes. The villains could be less powerful, like Kingpin, Silvermane, Black Cat, etc. that do not require special effects.One of the biggest concerns with any superhero show, especially one with this much big-time action every week, is safety. One of the things that big budgets afford is the the time and care to create those elaborate action scenes without killing everyone involved. With TV, you have less of that to go around each week.
Granted, TASM 2 hasn't come out yet, but generally speaking, all four films so far have been pretty well received.Make a good show that puts all the Sony stuff to shame, Sony goes downhill as a result, and they get the movie rights back.
You can't do Spidey on a TV budget.
If done right I think this would be an awesome idea. Not even getting to villains, but let's just look at the supporting cast alone.
Nobody has the supporting cast as great as classic Spider-man. To expand and develop the relationships Peter has with not just May, Gwen, MJ Harry, Norman and JJJ, but also Flash, Ned Leeds, Betty Brant, Liz Allen, Robbie, Dr Conners, Capt. Jean DeWolff, Gloria Grant, Professor Miles Warren, and the list goes on and on.
No other character is as "soap opera" as Spidey...I think done right it would be a massive hit. You could really have a great action/drama here with bites of comedy (not overdone).
Spidey hands down has the strongest non-superpowered supporting cast in comics: consisting of a colorful group of relatable individuals befitting a city like New York. The films love to focus on the spectacle and the action, but a long drawn out television series (Smallville style) would be a great opportunity to capture all of the interesting dynamics and intricate relationships that Peter Parker has with those characters in the comics, and even give some of them story arcs that develop throughout the course of the series. They could call it "Web of Spider-man".
