My idea for a Spider-man Franchise

[MaryJaneOrDie]

Peter Parker has always been a character I could relate to and in my sorrow and troubled times I often find myself imagining my life if I was Peter Parker. Looking for the lesson to find from the situation. I end up thinking of a whole story set with a theme. I guess this is just a product of my creative mind i have attained from wanting to be a screen writer. I only have general plot outlines and themes and ill expand upon them individually but here they are:

1 Peter Parker: Spider-Man: It begins being told from Eddie Brocks point of view with Spider-Man already having been established in a similar manor to 1989s Batman. Eddie is trying to make it big by writing an expose on who the Spider-Man is behind the mask and he interviews people he has saved.

The movie eventually shifts to Peter Parker. He is a freshman in college and he lives with Harry Osborn. Peter is trying to figure out how to win his lost term girlfriend Gwen Stacy back. She left him because she thinks he's been ignoring her and standing her up but its really been his commitment to being Spider-man. Harry makes fun of him for trying to win her attention even though he desperately tries to win the attention of his father Norman.

George Stacy is investigating OsCorp for unsafe testing on humans and in an attempt to quell the bad publicity he takes an the drug himself as the test subject. He eventually goes insane and uses OsCorp weapons to plant bombs in Captain Stacy's apartment where he is killed. Normans alter ego creates a costume and becomes the Green Goblin. He has several confrontations with Spider-Man the last of which ends in an electrical plant where he is unmasked. He is K.Oed and rendered with amnesia. Spider-Man takes him to a hospital but removing his costume to protect Normans identity.

Gwen comes back to Peter who helped her cope with the loss of her father, but she now hates Spider-Man because the press blamed him for the explosion. Peter knows if he is to keep her he would have to continue to lie about being Spider-Man. Eddie Brock's investigation now leads him to Peter Parker the photographer who takes pictures of Spider-Man. He questions Parker about being Spider-Man and Peter denies it but Eddie is not convinced. Peter is then very stressed and contemplates quitting being Spider-Man. Wondering if he is over thinking the advice his Uncle Ben gave him.

He goes to Aunt May and asks her about "quitting something he feels obligated to do because it's getting in the way of his personal life." Aunt May tells him he's gifted and believes he is talking about dropping out of college. Peter continues the conversation because the metaphor would apply to both. She tells him his intelligence is a gift and that even though it may be difficult for now, it will ensure both their safety and security in the future. She tells him to drop out would be the easy road but it would not be the wise road.

Peter doesn't take the advice and buys an engagement ring. He decides never to suit up again and goes to take the ring to Gwen. He proposes to her and she tells him she's not sure yet but she'll call him when she is. Meanwhile Eddy learns Spider-Man rescued Norman Osborn and questions him about Peter Parker. The questioning begins to jog his memory and the Goblin resurfaces, the Goblin is able to put the pieces together and learns that Eddy is right and Peter is Spider-Man. He sends Eddy away refusing for further questioning.

He suits back up, this time in a more menacing Goblin Armor and remembers to earlier in the film when Gwen attended thanksgiving dinner with Peter and Harry. He goes to Gwens apartment and steals her away in the night. Peter checks his phone and is in glee when he sees Gwen calling with what he assumes is the answer. He hears the goblins laugh who tells him to go to the bridge. Peter immediately jumps back into costume and races to save Gwen.

When he gets there he battles Norman but gains the upper hand. Norman throughs Gwen off the side of the bridge and attempts to flee. Spider-Man shoots two webs, one to catch gwen and one to rip the Goblin off the glider. He beats the Goblin mercilessly when he hears the crowd below screaming in horror, he thinks its at his brutality towards the Goblin but he sees them point to Gwen. He sees he hanging limp. He pulls her up and realizes she is dead. Goblin taunts him saying she was alive when he threw her off and jumps to his glider to flee to a warehouse. Spider-Man takes off his mask to perform cpr but it is no good. He looks and sees she is wearing the ring he gave her. Tears fill Peters eyes as he knows she intended to say yes. He takes the ring off her finger and puts it in his belt under his suit. He sees the trail of smoke the Goblin left and goes to pursue him and get revenge for his late fiance.

He finds Norman there in the warehouse, but fights with rage we haven't seen in him yet. He gets banged around in the beginning but by the end he breaks both the Goblins knees. He then unmasks him and rips his own mask off to stare him down, eye to eye. He savagely beats Norman who begs for forgiveness and asks what about Harry? Peter slows and realizes the responsibility he has right now, he has the life of his best friends Father in his hands. He remembers the advice Uncle Ben gave him once more "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". Peter tells him he hates him for what he's done but he failed to follow the wise words of his father and he was about to do it again. He tells Norman Harry needs his father and that he has the greatest responsibility to him. Peter decides to leave him for the police but Norman activates his glider to impale Peter. Peter leaps out the way and Norman is impaled.

Peter attends the two funerals for Gwen and Norman (both deaths Spider-Man took the blame for Harry in particular is distraught knowing he will never have his chance to impress his father now), then visits his Uncles grave. He goes back to work later that day to find Eddy presenting the Article to Robbie Robbertson. The title reads Peter Parker: Spider-Man and Peters eyes grow wide as his heart drops. Peter tells Robbie and Eddy it's a lie and that it cant be true. Eddy tells him he sees through his lies and that he has solid proof. Robbie looks it over and says Eddie does have proof, but Peter was with him in the crowd when Spider-Man fought on top of the bridge. Peter is shocked and Eddy says that Robby must be mistaken. Robby takes the article and rips it in two and tells Eddy to leave. Eddy then accuses Peter of murdering his own girlfriend to lead the world off the trail and tells him some day he'll get what he deserves for the selfish murder. Peter turns to Robby who is about to speak when the two hear police sirens outside. Robby says "think Spider-Man might be needed out there?" and winks. Peter smiles and runs out the door and leaps out the window throwing his clothes off becoming the Spider-Man.

 

[MaryJaneOrDie]

Its a bit crude and misses a lot without dialogue to develop the characters and many minor scenes detailing Peter Parkers life, but thats the general overview.

The theme of the story is responsibility, and the consequences of not doing the right thing. Peter has a responsibility to be Spider-Man but choses Gwen instead in the end. Therefore he loses her for his mistake. Norman shirks his responsibility to run a straight business and is punished with the loss of his sanity. The final moments of the final confrontation are the most crucial however. Peter has the choice to kill and abuse his powers in a want for revenge. He however realizes he would be robbing Harry of a father and the value his own father figure (uncle ben) had to him. He tells Norman that Harry needs his dad. Norman ignores this however and rather than end the conflict attempts to take Peters life, this abuse of power and shirking of his responsibilities as a father is punished with his death. Eddy Brock is given the task to find out who Spider-Man is during the film he finds out how much good Spider-Man has done and that rather than investigative journalism, his investigation was low and tabloit level. He was well aware the damage he would do by revealing Peter was Spider-Man and shirked his responsibility as a journalist. For this his article was thrown out and he lost his job.

#2 I'm too tired to get into detail but I have much more passion for it. This one is about dealing with loss, something we can all relate to. It is also about dealing with insecurity and the ways we all chose to cope. Harry copes with the loss of his father and does so by delving into drugs. These eventually lead him to hallucinations of Norman speaking to him. Peter must cope with the loss of Gwen and does so by being Spider-Man all the time. Hiding the depressions of Peter Parker with the quick one liners of Spider-Man.

The films two antagonists represent insecurity and fear of failure. Black Cat is the temptress she's leads Spider-Man away from his life as Peter Parker and is the image of confidence something Peter desperately wants. Her love makes Peter happy and her powers make her a lover he doesn't have to worry about putting in harms way. However he is unsure if she loves him for him or just him for Spider-Man. Electro is an insecure intelligent electrician. He is working on wiring a machine for OsCorp that creates bio electricity, but he doubts he is doing it right or that he is capable of it. When Harry causes something to go wrong and the accident that makes him into Electro occurs he blames himself for the failure. Even though he is more than capable of being someone without his powers or resorting to crime. He sees it as the only way he can succeed and his insecurities make him venerable despite his incredible power vastly over shadowing Spider-Mans.

In the end the fates of the characters are decided by their abilities to cope and over come their insecurities. Peter realizes he is needed by those he loves and that he doesn't need love to complete him and is rewarded by having acceptance from those he is close with. Black Cat has no one and nothing to live for besides adrenaline she refuses to accept Spider-Man for Peter and rejects him breaking his heart even more than it is. She comes to her senses however when Electro is about to kill Spider-Man and sacrifices herself for him. She survives and her selflessness is rewarded with amnesia and therefore the ability to move on from her past she no longer remembers and live a normal life. Harry finds out Peter is Spider-Man and his father was the Green Goblin but refuses to move on or use anything to cope but drugs. He is punished by losing his sanity. Electro has committed many crimes and almost killed the Black Cat he refuses to give up his power in fear his insecurity will return and pays the price with his life by over loading himself with power and dispurcing in an explosion.

 

[red hood 4]

i think its genius. Its got some serious potential

 

[MaryJaneOrDie]

thank you. i mean my idea has a total of 6-7 parts to it. the thing i think went wrong with spider-man 1-3 was that they tied up all the loose ends. in my opinion there are two things that kill sequels. #1 when they stray too far from the original and #2 when they are too much of a carbon copy of the original.


#3

Peter is now a 23 year old senior in college. He has learned to balance both his lives and has a good relationship with Mary Jane. Harry hasn't talked to him since last year when he learned he was Spider-Man but other than that his life is going up. He now interns for one of his professors, Dr.Conners. Not too long into the movie Dr.Conners asks Peters assistance in an experiment to regrow his arm. Peter agrees but witnesses Conners transform into the Lizard. He tries to subdue him but he is unsuccessful. Feelings he is partially responsible for this he goes out to try to find him but he is lost. Peter looks at his costume to find a large black stain. He goes to home where he takes it off and lays down to have a long sleep.

He goes to the Daily Bugle a week later and finds out Serge Kravenoff is coming to New York to film a documentary on the supposed Lizard-man of New York. He is famous for wrestling bears and alligators on TV and has a TV series (Kraven the Hunter) where he hunts urban legends such as Big Foot and the Yeti. J Jonah Jameson tells Peter to get some pictures of Kraven and he'll pay double what he pays for Spider-Man pictures. Peter is immediately alarmed and knows that Kravenoff is no match for the beast. When he arrives Spider-Man confronts him and warns him not to track the Lizard, that he is real and he will surely kill him. Kraven take the warning as nothing and goes off in a search for him anyway. Spider-Man starts his own.

Kraven and his heavily armed film crew make their way through the sewers documenting their every step. when suddenly they see the lizard, Kravenoff jumps at it to tackle it but is immediately flung off. The crew opens fire but many of them are violently killed. Kraven signals everyone to run but Spider-Man swings in battles the Lizard. He manages to hold him back and eventually the fight ends with a stalemate. Spider-Mans costume is destroyed however and he returns home. Kravenoff rather than being frightened by the massacre is only excited and decides he needs different tools for hunting.

Peter confides in Mary Jane and tells her whats going on and how he doesn't know what to do and how he has to baby sit Kravenoff. She tells him that its not his fault and he's taking too much responsibility again. She sits him down and tells him not to worry and turns on the TV. The first thing that shows up is Kravenoff and Harry Osborn together on the news. Kravenoff is thanking Harry for giving him one of the last remaining samples of the performance enhancer Norman developed years ago. Peter realizes Kraven has the Goblin serum and knows that will only lead to problems. In stress and rage he storms out and returns to his apartment.

Peter looks to his stained costume hanging in the closet and sees it is now completely black. Peter is startled, but then he hears from his TV that police are held up outside an apartment where they believe mass murder suspect Cletus Cassidy is hiding out. Peter grabs his Red and Blues but finds they're tattered he looks back at the mysterious black costume hanging. Meanwhile Eddie Brock is at the scene of the crime being mocked for "faking the story about Peter Parker being Spider-Man" he laughs it off and says he's covering the Cassidy story for the Globe. 6 armed men smash into the building at the bottom floor but suddenly it combusts setting them all on fire. A loud hysterical cackling can be heard from the window on the third floor. 5 swat drop down from the roof and repel into the room, but when they enter they find only a recording of laughter and the room fills with acidic gas painfully killing them all. Spider-Man swings in but to the surprise of the crowd he's dressed in Black.

A cop goes up and tells him Cassidy's somewhere in the house and to be care because its booby-trapped to no end and they have no idea what room he's in. Peter begins to think when his Spider-Sense goes off stronger than ever and he sees the exact location of Cassidy through the building, he is taken a back but does not hesitate. He swings in and sees Cletus laying down in a bed watching live feed of the drama outside. Cassidy is excited saying "Spider-Man saw everyone else having so much fun with me he couldn't resist", Spider-Man grabs him when he flips a switch and a high pitch scream is released. He falls to floor feeling as if his skin is burning. He sees the switch and deactivates it right as he's about to pass out and throws Cletus out the window on to a car. Spider-Man looks down in horror of what he's done and is relieved to see he's alive. He swings throws off his mask and wonders why he did that, then suddenly the mask absorbs into his hand and the suit changes into a black fitted tee shirt, black fitted denim jeans, and black fashionable shoes. Peter is frightened but impressed. He doesn't bother to take it off and simply wills the suit into boxers and lays in his bed.

The next day Peter goes to Dr.Conners old lab where he examines a piece of the suit, he realizes its alive and is horrified. He searches Conners notes and finds it is similar to a parasite (that is possibly alien) he was studying that attached its self to DNA. Peter then reads on to find Conners was testing with it to try to use it to bond reptilian DNA to his own, in an attempt to regrow his lost right arm. He reads a note saying sound is harmful to it in its natural form, but that the hybrid he used that bonded to his DNA to become the Lizard was only hurt by its other two weaknesses Electricity and Fire. He resolves he will need to find Conners before the now Goblin Kravenoff does. Suddenly his Spider-Sense leads him through the city right to the location of Conners. Peters clothes dissolve in his costume now sleek black with a large white spider across the chest rather than a black out of his original red and blues.

He finds Connors stalking people in Central Park, Spider-Man swings and physically confronts him. Last time he could barely hold his own but now he is more than a match for the Lizard. He senses his every move minutes before he makes it. He leads Connors across the park before he flees to the sewers. Spider-Man sends himself following close behind and the two end up at a gear controlling the current of the sewer. Spider-Man flips the Lizard and throws him into the the wires powering the device, The Lizard is electrocuted and falls to a coma. He reverts back to Conners in seconds. Peter picks up his professor and says to the suit "maybe I miss judged you, were gonna be goooood friends".

He then goes out to dinner with Mary Jane and the two talk about their two year anniversary coming up. Peter is very excited about this. He is not his normal mild mannered self however he is rude the wait staff and arrogant. Mary Jane notices this and Peter just says he's sorry, he's just realized how above everyone "we" are. MJ thinks he's referring to them as a couple but he's really referring to him and the symbiote. We then see a montage of Peter acting differently with the suit he offers pictures of Spider-Man fighting the Lizard to Jameson. Jameson offers a bare bones amount Peter laughs and tells him "risked his ass to get these so unless he's ready to wash the smell of sewer out his hilter-stash he better pay him 500 per picture.". Dr.Conners tells Peter he needs to study for the final if he wants to maintain his grade Peter says "well I understand but I'd be a shame if I told anyone about you're doctor Jeckel and Mr.Hyde experiment you pulled off ehh?" and winks. We then see Spider-Man web a man running with money he stole from a store, Peter taunts him and takes the money, pocketing several grand before returning it to the police.

That night Mary Jane is calling Aunt May saying she's worried about Peter and that he's been acting differently. Then in the night she looks to the window to see Spider-Man climb in, this time in his red and blue costume. Mary Jane is relieved telling him it reminds her of the old days and that she needs to talk to him. She lifts off his mask but it's not Peter it's Kravenoff. He grabs her and takes her away. Peter swings into his apartment he looks at his phone and sees to his surprise Harry is calling. He answers and Harry reminds him of how he believes Peter killed his father and guilts him for dating Mary Jane. Peter tells him he's not listening to his whining anymore and is about to hangup when Harry's tone changes and he congratulates him on catching the Lizard. Peter mocks him and tells him his "soldier/hunter Kraven failed" Harry laughs and tells him "Maybe the Lizard wasn't who he was hunting." Peter asks what he meant and Harry hangs up. Peter uses his Black suit enhanced Spider-Sense to scan the area, nothing. He then checks on Aunt May, fine. Then Mary Jane, not in her apartment, he panics and searches for her until he finds her on the top of a building gagged and bound. Peter furious leaps out his window and his clothes switch the now even more sinister looking Black suit as it crawls across his skin like a billion worms.

Eddy Brock goes home at the same time, he has a small talk with his wife who announces she's leaving him. He begs for a second chance but she denies him, saying he's failed beyond a point where he can bounce back. He cries and says he can't live without her. She coldly reminds him suicide is a sin and Eddy grabs a knife peers out the window and gazes at the church.

Kraven is setting up a booby-trap when Spider-Man swings in and attacks in a fury. Kraven is still strong however, he is more than capable of taking down the even newly powered Black Suited Spider-Man. He tells Spider-Man that though he came here for the Lizard after talking to Mr.Osborn he realized his true purpose was to hunt him. He is now clearly mad and his mind is totally warped by the goblin formula. Mary Jane watches in horror as the two battle. Kraven pins him to the floor, but Spider-Man swipes his legs in a circle breaking Kravens Knees. Kraven falls back and off the side of the roof, but Spider-Man grabs him at the last minute shooting a web which Kraven grabs hold of. Spider-Man reals him up when the suit retracts up his arms, the web with it. Kraven falls to his death and Spider-Man is terrified at what he has just done. He screams to MJ, "What did I do!? I killed him! I killed him!" She tells him that he's not the same as he used to be and she's scared of him, and he tells her about the suit. Having seen it change with her own eyes she believes him but tells him its either her or the suit. He looks at it and says he needs to find peace and swings to the church.

Meanwhile Eddy Brock has gone to the church is currently praying, alone in the corner by an alter. He begs for justice and wishes that with his death, he can bring come back again as a Venom to those who have harmed him. He takes the blade and slits his wrist. Eddy then lays himself down with his arms spread eagle waiting to bleed out. Spider-Man swings into the bell tower and decides he has to take the suit off. He tries to pull it off but fails, then he remembers Cassidy's sonic weapon and Dr.Conners notes about sound. He banks on it and slams himself into the church bell using the vibrations to rip it clean from his skin. He sees it dissolve into the floor and assumes its dead. Meanwhile bystanders have called the authorities having noticed the bell ringing in hours it is usually silent. They arrive to find Eddy in the midst of his attempted suicide. He screams in anger to leave him but they pick him up and take him away. What remains of the suit observes this and sticks to his shoe.

Peter goes back to Mary Jane, he is our typical nerd again and she smiles and embraces him knowing she chose her. Eddy is transported back to an emergency care unit of the mental hospital. He sees his neighboring patient on the other side of the curtain is Cletus Cassidy. He is terrified by the people there his nurse straps him in and he struggles trying to break free. She tells him to stop as it will only make it worse, she leaves the room then he hears a voice telling him not to be afraid just not to make a sound. As he hears this the black goo on his shoe travels up his legs and engulfs his body. Eddy's nurse is filling a shot when the whole wing of the hospital hears a crash from Eddy's bed, all doctors abandon their post and look to see what it is. They find an empty bed and the barred window smashed out. Cassidy across the curtain screams for his doctor to come back he eyes his IV and sees each clear drop dripping into his medicine, then he sees a red drip and his eyes grow wide.

Peter is still talking to Mary Jane when the word of what happened at the hospital reaches them, she tells him shell be waiting he runs down the hall throwing off his clothes and leaps out the window donning his red mask as he swings into action, once again as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

the second featuring Venom and close to the end Carnage. Venom would sacrifice himself to stop Carnage ending the eddie brock story arc.

#5

The fifth would be a lose adaptation of the comic book "the wedding". Harry becomes the Hobgoblin (I know he's not but i don't want to get receptive and I love the character) because he is enraged Peter has his stolen not only his father but his girlfriend too. Harry rigged explosives to the chapel and has his final confrontation with Spider-Man when he is saying his I dos. Peter reframes from using his powers to protect his identity and defeats Harry by telling him that if he blows up the chapel even if it kills him, it will kill everyone else he cares about. Harry realizes he is right and he'd end up even more alone that before and flies into the sky with the explosives dying in the blast.

#6
By number six Peter is in his 30s and now has a job as a college professor. He finds out Mary Jane is pregnant and decides when the baby comes he can't be Spider-Man anymore.

Adrien Tombs is released from prison having been falsely accused of being a criminal using a set of mechanical wings almost 30 years ago. The real Vulture, Blackie Draco confessed on his death bed. Tombs is now bitter and angry at the world for taking away the majority of his life.

Otto Octavious is about to be fired and he tests his experiment pre maturely in a desperate attempt to save his career is involved in an accident that turns him into Doc Ock. He is fused to his arms he uses to handle hazardous materials and he goes insane. The doctors tell him he will not survive more than a month with the tentacles attached but the process of removing them will leave him a quadriplegic.

Otto escapes into the night and is angry at the world for leaving him with this and decides suicide is his only option but he's going to take everyone else out with him. He looks into creating a machine to hack into nuclear weapons computers and fire every nuke in the world. He realizes he needs Adrian Tombs research and convinces him to become the vulture and become the man he was accused to be.

The Vulture comes into conflict with Spider-Man quite a few times and Spider-Man ultimately is lead to Ocks lair by him. The three engage in a battle and Mary Jane goes into labor is rushed to the hospital at the same time. The Vulture leaves the fight to watch the timer on the reactor. Spider-Man and Ock battle and in the conclusion Doc Ock is killed but Spider-Man is left paralyzed from the waste down. Tombs is about to arm the bombs when Peter reasons with him. Tombs says he lost his life for these people and he can never get it back. That no one cared no one did anything, all he got was old age and a simple sorry. Peter tells him he's been Spider-Man his whole youth and he is about to be a father that cant move his lower body. He tells Tombs we all injustices and that he knows life is a precious thing, but we all have to learn to move on from things we love and and just look forward to the future. Tombs thinks and cancels the weapon at the last minute.

A team of CIA agents storm the complex and arrest Tombs and Peter. The public is now a where he was Spider-Man. At the end Peter is given amnesty and all of the public has turned to his side, the campaign for his release being lead by J Jonah Jameson who apologizes for everything he said about him in the past. Peter also asks that Adrian Tombs be given amnesty and in the end he is freed as well. Peter goes home to Mary Jane and his daughter he wonders what the worlds gonna be like without Spider-Man as he turns on the TV to see a special dedicated to him. We then cut to young african america and hispanic boy watching the same program. He is very intend on it when he looks down at his hand and he's been bitten by strange Spider and throws his hand back only to see it stick to wall and the credits roll.

I like this ending because it brings closure to Peters life. It allows him to be a father and enjoy a rest after his hard work, but at the same time gives a reason for him to no longer be Spider-Man. Also it eliminates the need for a reboot by offering a possible Spin off with Ultimate Comics Miles Morales the second Spider-Man being bitten at the end. Plus i like the last story being about moving on and saying goodbye to things you wish you didn't have to. anyways tell me what you think of my idea. also i think i managed to get most of the core rogues included in some way. I have Green Goblin, Black Cat, Electro, Lizard, Kraven, Venom, Carnage, Hobgoblin, Doc Ock, Vulture, and not mentioned but small appearances of Mysterio and Shocker. thanks for anyone who actually read all of this.

 

[red hood 4]

That is a truly epic saga and wraps it all up nicely. i have personally always imagined the saga ending with either Carnage or Mysterio as the main villain. However,your version of the Vulture was very good and well thought out,well the whole thing was thought out really

are you going to write these?

are you going to write these?

yeah i want to. ill write out scripts for all of them. I have 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 really well thought out, its just 3 thats hard to fit into one film. But yeah I used to picture Carnage too, but I wanted to end it with a classic feel and not make the series revolve around symbiotes and Mysterio is my favorite villain easily but I couldn't think of a good way to put him in that does him justice while maintaining the quality and feel of the others.

I feel like I've always been able to relate to Peter Parker, these stories came to me each in their own way while dealing with some kind of problem. He's inspiring, he goes through horrible problems, his love life is awful, and he is almost always extremely tight on money, but no matter what the problem is he continues to do the right thing and not forget his responsibilities. In the end when he makes the right (and usually the toughest) choice, he is rewarded and he gets what he needs to be happy. Thats the main reason I dislike the Death Of Spider-Man Arc, to me to have him die despite all he's done just kills the purpose.
