![]() Six years later, Sony seems to have discovered the gold at the end of the rainbow which they were pursuing with Marc Webb’s doomed Spider-Man reboot. ![]() Alas, when the film was met with mediocre reviews and shockingly poor domestic legs, it meant that A) audiences were not jazzed for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and B) audiences were certainly not jazzed for various spin-off movies ( Venom, a young Aunt May spy flick, etc.). ![]() Moreover, the film pandered to the hardcore fan base by killing off its female lead (Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey) which also removed both the new franchise’s most popular character and the new series’ most unique element (the romantic chemistry between Garfield and Stone). ![]() While the movie itself was mostly stand-alone, save for a needless subplot involving Peter’s dead parents and a mid-credits tease for a potential Sinister Six movie down the road, the marketing and in-studio expectations set the film up as a backdoor pilot for a whole new world of Spider-Man heroes and Spider-Man villains.
