Rewriting Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man Homecoming Rewrite

Spider-Man Homecoming, while being a great film, struggles in the categories of adapting the character of Peter Parker along with his mythos. I am aware that Marvel Studios did have certain restrictions and limitations while adapting the character. So I will try to keep that in mind.

Peter’s Characterization:

Peter in the Civil War movie was perfect. Lighthearted, energetic, sarcastic, snarky, and funny. He wasn’t afraid to make fun of the other heroes or quip jokes. This is something that is constant in the other times the Russo Brothers wrote Peter in the MCU. Infinity War and Endgame. This characterization should be constant, and put into the MCU Spider-Man Solo Movies. He’s snarky and sarcastic. He’s not a pushover or a loser. He’ll crack jokes about others, make fun at bullies, etc.

Side Characters:

Flash will be recasted. I think everybody can agree that the MCU Flash is just… horrible. Flash should be two things. A jock/bully with a hidden heart of gold. And Spidey’s biggest Fanboy.

Ned is replaced with Randy Robertson. The character of Ned in the MCU is just Gankey from Miles’ stories. Leave Miles’ mythos alone. Randy can have the same role Ned does in the movie.

The original Herman Shultz Shocker is the same for the entire movie. Killing him off is dumb. Also, give him a more comic accurate suit look.

Uncle Ben/Aunt May:

I’m fine with Uncle Ben not being mentioned by name specifically. Aswell as his origin not being shown. But we should get some hints of it. May is still getting over Ben’s death. She’s not just happy-go-lucky. She is struggling. But she puts a brave face on. You can even have a picture of Ben (I imagine played by Adam Scott). Peter’s suit that he wears to Homecoming can be one of Ben’s old suits.

MJ/Deleted Scenes:

First of all, Zendaya should have her hair died red for the movie. I would also prefer if it was straightened as well. Also, let her name actually be Mary Jane Watson. Keep the scene of Aunt May and Peter offering her a ride as it seems no one is coming to pick her up, showing that she possibly might have a hard home life. Also keep in the deleted scene of Peter and MJ on the bleachers, as she explains why she has her attitude of not pretending or caring. Also keep in the flyer scene of Peter joking about how his parents are dead at the party. I know it’s an odd thing to keep in, but it shows that Peter might actually have some trauma or stored up feelings about his parents and is joking about it. Something a lot of people, especially younger people, do. Also, we’re CUTTING the scene of Tony calling Peter abroad. It’s unnecessary, and its only function is to give Tony more screen time.

Peter’s strength:

In his non-solo appearances MCU Spider-Man is a TANK. He catches Bucky’s arm easily, then solos both Bucky and Falcon without a sweat. He catches a punch from Cull Obsidian for goodness sake, and then easily throws a damn car at him! Spider-Man shouldn’t be so weak. Even teenage depictions of him. That’s why I think he should keep this level of strength for Homecoming. However, this also means his villains have to be stronger as well. I think the thugs with gravity weapons should actually lose a decent threat to this version of Peter still. After all, Eve with Spider-Sense, how do you dodge gravity? The Shocker definitely needs an upgrade. The alien tech in his gloves should pack a punch though. In this version, he should be able to crush cars and send them across parking lots with just a single punch. Vulture is already a great adversary for Peter. He’s able to force Peter into aerial combat, where Peter can’t swing around or be acrobatic effectively. His wings can cut through steel. His talons can restrain him. On top of his alien amped weaponry. Remember, Peter shouldn’t grown in power. He should grow INTO his power. He knows how to punch bad guys. But managing damage control, capturing enemies and putting them into the proper authorities, interrogating, and much more is a little bit more complicated.

Suit/Design:

Peter should have his Civil War Concept Suit. It’s simply superior to his Homecoming one. And I think that’s a fact. Also, Peter’s Stark Suit won’t have so much tech in it. This suit was whipped together for Peter by Tony on the fly. It wasn’t designed for Peter, it was designed for the vague idea of who Spider-Man is and what his abilities are. No drone, no parachute, no web wings, no thousands of web types, no AI, and definitely no kill mode. It’s just a Spidey suit made with extra expensive and quality materials, and maybe a GPS. Keep all the high tech stuff for the Iron-Spider suit. The high tech suit actually designed for Peter.

Story Changes:

Peter still looks up to Iron Man. But he’s not so sure of those other Avenger guys. Half of them are fugitives now. And Cap was kind of a dry biscuit. And that Black Panther guy was so busy talking about “revenge” and all that. Too bad he didn’t get to meet Thor, he probably would’ve been cool. He definitely still wants to be an Avenger, but not like those tools. When Peter and Randy are in gym and watching the Captain America PSA video, Peter makes fun of Cap more and says that he was a bit of a Boy Scout.

With his first encounter with the Vulture, apparently the suit has both a height limit and proximity limit that Tony installed to keep him in New York. When it activates, a parachute comes out and prevents him from pursuing the Vulture further. He’s upset at Mr. Stark as he knows he could have gotten him.

Randy helps Peter disable the suits proximity limit. Peter goes out across the city to New Jersey instead of Washington. The Decathlon is being held in NY. And it seems like the criminal group has a warehouse in Jersey. Instead of climbing the Washington Monument, he climbs the Empire State Building.

On the Faerie, Peter originally has it all under control. Until Federak Agents arrive. He struggles to hold the Faerie together, but eventually it seems like he’s actually pulling it together. However, Iron Man interrupts before Peter’s efforts can come to fruition. Peter learns that Tony called the agents and is furious. He could’ve handled it, but Tony got in the way. Tony still takes the suit. Peter still respects Tony, but he doesn’t think that he is the type of her he wants to be anymore.

Tony apologizes for not trusting Peter. Tony shows Peter the crowd waiting for his appearance. Peter declines the Iron-Spider suit (which is better designed). He doesn’t think it’s a trick. He has decided that this isn’t the type of hero he wants to be. Not the kind that recklessly decimate airports, and have petty squabbles. He’s gonna be the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”. And he’s gonna be both a hero and an Avenger his own way…

Ideas of a Spider-Man 3 rewrite

Spider-Man 3

The theme of the film would be temptation, instead of forgiveness

The film begins with Peter narrating what his life was like after Spider-Man 2.

Harry becomes Venom instead of Eddie Brock

The movie was going to be set at Christmas Eve.

Sandman doesn't kill's uncle ben anymore, He's just a villain who became evil not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice, He's just a man who wants to save his daughter From a terminal illness, even though he took a life of crime because he had no other choice Regarding the issue of his powers, he went to Oscorp to get a cure for his daughter's mortal illness, He's going to find an old friend who works at Oscorp, his name is Adrian Toomes. (Which would later movie become the vulture) But Adrian betrays Flint and calls the police, which causes Flint to flee but end up in an Oscorp super collider. Adrian activates the super collider and Flint evaporates, turning into sand.

Peter is more experienced and manages to lead a balanced life being Spider-Man and Peter Parker.

More focus on the drama/story of Sandman

Peter's ego doesn't get to his head

Peter, despite having a good relationship with MJ, is still afraid to marry her because he's afraid of risking her life completely.

Mary Jane Don't betray peter (she loves him) And she does everything to prove to Peter that he doesn't need to worry; she knows how to defend herself and will stay by his side regardless of what happens. Another thing is that Mary Jane is much more mature after the two films.

No Bully Maguire, That's ridiculous to watch. just Peter being aggressive, cold and arrogant with the people he loves

Some reference of some good parts of the original script

Aunt May dies at the hands of goblin jr (harry) But it was an accident; he didn't hit the pumpkin bomb on purpose Why were Peter and Harry fighting nearby? Peter was wearing the symbiote suit and he was already angry, but after the accident, Peter became furious and almost killed Harry for killing Aunt May. The police arrived, and Harry Peter runs away and retrieves Aunt May's body. He removes his mask and reveals to her that he was Spider-Man. She says she already knew but didn't want to tell Peter. The two have one last conversation, Instead of Aunt May saying the same thing Uncle Ben says, she says the opposite, “Power doesn’t always mean sacrifice… sometimes it means choosing who to hold on to.” but in a way that is both good and bad at the same time. Peter becomes Aware and remembering that there is still someone who loves him, Mary Jane Watson, and Aunt May dies in his arms. Peter leaves her at the hospital After 4 hours Peter returns to the apartment crying, he receives a visit from Mary Jane, the two talk and hug each other.

Gwen Stacy is Harry's girlfriend (But she's only mentioned in a phone call because Gwen is in Oxford)

John Jameson would be responsible for Venom's arrival on Earth

Mary Jane wouldn't be fired from the theater And even after what Peter became, despite being Temptation, and with anxiety about something, she still didn't abandon him because she knew something was wrong and that wasn't Peter.

After Jameson's arrival on Earth, the symbiote escapes the capsule in which it was trapped and goes in search of a host. He sees Peter riding his motorcycle to his apartment and notices that Peter is an unusual host and very strong, and so while Peter is in his apartment The symbiote He joins Peter and about the suit There comes a point where,Peter wears the suit for a month, and he seems changed—more robust, angry, tired, and pale, as if the symbiote were draining his life energy. In his first encounter with Flint after Peter hears a call from the police, Peter goes to a bank and finds clumps of sand going into the sewer, and Peter follows that trail. He sees Flint and Sandman, who even apologizes for stealing and says he didn't mean to. Peter remains silent, and instead of understanding, he resorts to violence. The two fight in an epic battle and after nearly killing Sandman, And after almost hurting Mary Jane on a date because she noticed Peter was acting differently, the symbiote takes over Peter and almost breaks Mary Jane's arm. Peter regains consciousness and goes to a A church, Peter forcibly removes the suit as if almost tearing off his skin, and the symbiote goes in search of another strong host, Near the church, the Osborns' house was close by; the symbiote noticed an unusual force, Harry, He's drinking beer while looking at a picture of himself with Peter and MJ; the symbiote arrives at the Osborn house and bonds with Harry in a terrifying transformation. would affect not only the mood but also the memories (when Harry receives the suit the symbiote would change how the Green Goblin died, this making Harry hate Peter more)

harry He goes to Flint to ask for help fighting the Sandman; at first he refuses, but then reconsiders after Harry threatens his daughter. Flint even asks how Harry knew, and he tells him "a green vulture told us" (referring to Adrian Toomes) So, having no other choice, Sandman works together with Venom for a while, and then Venom kidnaps MJ and forces Spider-Man to fight while he is grieving after seeing his aunt die in his Front

Sandman and Venom fight Spider-Man; the two almost kill Spider-Man, but Peter briefly faints and has a dream about Aunt May and Uncle Ben. The three hug and talk, and Uncle Ben tells Peter, realizing there was still something to be done—saving MJ and Aunt May—reinforces the idea of them getting married and him never giving up on being Spider-Man because New York needs him. Peter then wakes up.Distract Sandman and fight Venom. For a brief moment, Venom's mask opens and Peter sees Harry's face, which shocks and angers him at the same time, but he calms down because it was his best friend, And after knocking him out, Peter goes to Mary Jane. Sandman thinks about attacking stealthily, but sees Peter hugging Mary Jane and taking her to a safe place. Sandman sees Peter and wonders what he could What if he had made responsible choices and hadn't gone into a life of crime

Sandman then fights Peter again, but it was actually a strategy by Flint to betray Venom and help Spider-man. Sandman and Spider-Man then fight Venom together.

Sandman, after seeing that Venom was going to kill Spider-Man, Flint creates a sandstorm to distract Venom and sacrifices himself not only for Spider-Man or the city, but for Penny.

After Sandman's sacrifice, Venom reappears, silently trying to kill Spider-Man, but his spider-sense is activated and they both have a battle. Then Spider-Man pierces Venom with an iron stake, but instead of Harry leaving the symbiote, what comes out is his skeleton (even though the Goblin formula is like a super soldier serum, it doesn't make the body resistant). Then the symbiote grabs Peter and tries to merge with him again. Then Spider-Man sees some iron bars and remembers that the symbiote has a weakness for sounds, so Spider-Man releases a web on the iron bars and they make annoying sounds until the symbiote evaporates.

After Venoms Death, In a park, it shows that flint survived andshows and, Marko visiting his daughter, Penny, disguised as a sandcastle. In a park ((inspired by the editor cut scene)

In the end, and Peter visits Aunt May and Uncle Ben's grave, saying "Merry Christmas, my parents!"

Time passes for 4 months and we see Peter and Mary Jane get married After everything he'd been through, Peter made the most responsible decision of his life.

After the wedding, Peter sees police cars going somewhere. Peter looks at Mary Jane and she says, "Go Get them, tiger!" Peter smile and runs, puts on his suit, and so it begins the Final Swing Similar to the two films but with a difference, it features with monologue (Well, that was my story, how a nerd from Queens became a great hero and married the girl of his dreams, even with the difficulties, even if whatever happens, I will never forget what my uncle said "with great power, comes great responsibility". This is not the story of a photographer, or a pizza delivery man, or a nerd. It is the story of Peter Parker, but also the story of Spider-Man!)

LordDeku92 suggests Star Wars should embrace the Multiverse, to better reach fans who want different things from Star Wars

I don't think this would necessarily be something I would like, but this suggestion says everyone could, theoretically, be happy and get what they want from Star Wars if they went in this direction.

(Yes, this youtubist does use AI for his voice, but, according to him, does not use it in the creation of the script for his video)
