While the first movie had some very vocal critics, it was generally warmly-received and so there was little controversy around these moves. Excising the 'Untold Story' seems to have been the brunt of that change." This fits in with rumors I heard that a spring screening for Sony execs went poorly and changes were made. "Marketing was still using concepts and imagery related to a completely deleted storyline - the 'Untold Story' - as recently as May. "It seems to me obvious that The Amazing Spider-Man got a huge last minute recut," that report claimed. It was that report that first popularized the theory that the film had undergone radical changes late in the process, based in part on the fact that aspects of the "untold story" - that Peter was genetically "special" and that the Spider-bite didn't transform him but merely activated his existing potential. Shortly after the film's release, Badass Digest took the time to detail all the various elements that were teased in the run-up to the film and then not capitalized on in The Amazing Spider-Man, supposing that there was a director's cut - or at least a lot of unused footage - that could have made the movie very different. It isn't a stretch, then, to assume that he had planned to get out after one movie at first. This resulted, in part, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 carrying a mid-credits scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past. This has never been explicitly confirmed by Webb, but it makes sense he owed 20th Century Fox a movie as part of his (500) Days of Summer contract and when Sony wanted to bring him back for the second Amazing film, they had to make a deal with Fox to make it happen. In true Spider-Man fashion (apparently these guys have never heard of the Clone Saga), they insisted that the subplot involving his parents be stretched out to last the three films rather than getting resolution in The Amazing Spider-Man. Well, the rumor was that Sony liked the movie so much they insisted on reworking it to be a trilogy. It was pretty clear from some of the film's disjointed editing and the dozen or so scenes shown during the promotional run-up to Amazing that never made the film, something had changed. And while the tweets were pretty much all looking down their nose at the time "wasted" on developing the plot that revolved around Peter's parents, there is a bit of a bittersweet element to it.Īfter all, these movies made more than a billion dollars globally combined, with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 making just $6 million less than the second Captain America movie, which is universally regarded as a big hit for Marvel. I'm just glad that the whole "Peter Parker's spy parents/Oscorp conspiracy" has been killed in its tracks.

Now a full hour of an AVENGERS movie can be devoted to that stupid subplot about Peter Parker's parents being science spies or whatever. Gutted we aren't gonna see the flashback scene properly explaining Peter Parker's parents demise
Keith Simanton February 11, Remember this time around: Nobody cares about Peter Parker's parents. Now we'll never find out the truth about Peter Parker's parents, or Oscorp & Harry's dad or.hey! I forgot.
