To Start this Topic i'd like to say that i've been a spider-man fan for many years, and i will give you my perspective on the difference between the two movie franchizes.. So let's begin shall we!! I'd like to give you a word that should be the standard bearer for the new movie, and a failure to the last movie series.. The Word is Consistancy!! That is what happened to the Toby Mcguire Spider-man Series. The Producers were inconsistant with the comic book storyline. Now alot of people would disagree, but let me give you some in site to what i'm talking about.
ok every comic book fan knows that mary jane wasn't peter parker's first love interests, it was Gwen Stacy, and we all know that the scene from the first Spider-man movie where the green goblen is hanging mary jane off of the brooklyn bridge wasn't a fluke... this is the inconsistancy comes into play... in the original comic book series the amazing spider-man peter parker fall in love with Gwen Stacy during his high school years,and it leads to the two of them getting engaged, but it was never meant to be... Gwen Stacy gets killed by the Green Goblen, but it would become the most contravercial topic in comic book history as Gwen would break her neck while falling to her death in the hands of spider-mans webslinger in Amazing Spider-man issue 121.. That scene on the bridge was the death of Gwen Stacy, not Mary Jane.. The first movie series would also be making wrong villian choices in the process. The first movie had the green goblen... the second movie had Dr. Octopuss... The Third on had Two villans, The Black Spider-man and the Sandman. But in betwen the movie the lizard would be weighing in the wings, but would never make the cut... also the people at marvel studios couldn't get the copyrights to the Venom name, which was a disaster... The character of harry osborn was a failure in itself... Harry became a villian in spider-man 2, but never lived up to the character from the comic books.. see harry doesn't become the green goblen that easy... harry has a brush with death as he almost died of a drug overdose, which angers harry's father and blames peter parker for his son almost demise which causes Gwen Stacy's death. Harry later would become the green goblen a few issues later... So inconsistancy would play a big part in the failure to the first spider-man movie series. Now The New Amazing Spider-man Series would tell a more consistant story of Peter Parker and his on going life tragedies which leads to the death of Gwen Stacy... The villian in this movie is the lizard who is the first villian in comic book series.
Well i hope i gave you a more insight to the difference between the two movie franchizes...
