crazy how one day you get hired to play a bit part where you disappear before the third act and a couple of years later Jim Carrey super-explodes because he's saving his world (you)

Every Spider-Man comics & Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy scene comparison I could find:

FUN FACT: Peter Parker has blue eyes in the 60s & most of the 70s, then were changed to hazel/brown eyes. Tobey Maguire's eyes are blue!

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 Plot Breakdown - Part Three

The Vulture would have been portrayed as an incredibly dangerous antagonist, with Spider-Man being forced to kill him in order to save his own life. The storyboard was revealed:

In the third act, Vulture’s daughter would have taken up the mantle to become the Vulturess and Angelina Jolie was attached to play the role.

Anne Hathaway was also confirmed by Raimi to be Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.

Now things take a more interesting turn…

Raimi revealed that Kraven The Hunter would have been featured in the film.

PART ONE, PART TWO, PART FOUR

After a considerable amount of time, my fairytale castle is done!

Ramble and some neat extras under the cut!

There is no interior (I'd say "yet" but I know myself and it's a miracle I finished this at all) and the veins running through it took over 200 blocks of raw iron! That's just over a chest full of ingots (29 stacks!).

This fact is especially funny because the separated tower actually has an iron farm squeezed into it, which I built first and which generated about 580 iron blocks worth of ingots in the process of finishing the build.

I ended up building it in a very weird way so I could make this "timelapse" which I think ended up having a pretty cool effect but also I am not doing this again.

I also drew this one! In very much the same style as I drew the wizard tower, both of which I pretty heavily referenced dnd miniatures.

Fun fact! The page I drew this on is absolutely full of madman scribble in the form of trigonometry calculations because replaymod doesn't actually have an easy method to orbit a point (at least not one I can find).

Found this guy at GameStop, and really happy I did, bc I really wanted to get him. He was also the only one of his kind in the store, so I claimed him before someone else could 😝

Included a couple close up shots of the fig because I noticed when I was trying to pose him that he has SPARKLES on him! This Super Sonic has SPARKLES on him guys!!! The sparkles are really hard to see, but I promise you they are there 😝

And now that I have this guy, I have a total of 4 Super Sonics in my entire Sonic collection (a plush included)

Fixer Upper Concept Pitch: Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man 3 is pretty universally considered to be the weakest entry in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man film trilogy, even by those who enjoy the film. There were a lot of kinks in its script and production that needed a lot of work to make them the best versions of what they could be, and they are visible in the finished product we got in 2007. While many, myself included, would argue that the film's strong points and merits worth appreciating outweigh the weaknesses, doing so doesn't change that those weaknesses are so much notably weaker and detrimental to the overall narrative than those found in the two preceeding films. This is very much a fixer upper movie.

And these are the things that needed some major fixer uppering:

-John Jameson should've been the one to make contact with the asteroid holding the Venom Symbiote, inadvertedly sending it down to Earth back with him, like how it was in the 90's animated series, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Venom (2018). If you've already introduced and established J. Jonah Jameson's Son, The Astronaut in the second film and Venom is going to be the Big Bad in your third film, then why not use John's occupation for the obvious payoff?

- Aunt May is still an MVP in this trilogy, but her advice here when giving Peter the wedding ring that Uncle Ben had proposed to her with is a little too on the nose and accidentally guilt trippy. I think this part should've been rewritten so that it's not so in-your-face.

- Flint Marko should become the Sandman in the exact same way he does in the movie. I'm sorry, but him having a life-altering experience because people were too lazy to go check the particle accelerator and see if it really was a bird that fell in there is just too hilarious.

- I love Topher Grace's Eddie Brock Jr. prior to him becoming Venom, but when looking at the film objectively, I think he's a pretty pointless character, only existing to become the meat suit Venom uses to fight Spider-Man with, and that role could've been filled by someone else. So either axe him, or include him in a lesser capacity and a minor role where his name is Lance Bannon, as that's who he really was.

- Some more novelization material should be included, like the implication that Ursula Ditkovich secured MJ's new job as a waitress and singer at the jazz club. When MJ signs on for her first day of work, her new employer could tell her that he's familiar with her father Phil Watson, who used to frequently come to the club for drinks after losing his latest job but was recently banned due to repeated disruptive incidents. This would give MJ a deeper perspective on her current life situation and career troubles, as while she's been downtrodden about it all there are still many people, including her abuser, whose lives are in a far worse place, and it also foreshadows the decline Peter takes in the Jazz Club later on, where MJ falls victim to such a "disruptive incident" directly due to him.

- Flint Marko's connection to Uncle Ben's death has to remain since it's what motivates Peter to go after him and gives Venom something to enhance and leech off of, but there wouldn't be any "this was your uncle's REAL killer!" nonsense. From the start it's established that Flint and Dennis Carradine were accomplices, Flint was the one who carjacked Uncle Ben, and Dennis was the one who shot him dead. This leads to Peter believing that Flint held Ben up and kept him from fleeing so that Dennis could murder him. As it would turn out, Ben chose to engage Flint in talk because he could see how scared he was and he was getting through to him by the time Dennis came out with the stolen money, leading to a frustrated Dennis shooting Ben so that Flint could stop being distracted. Flint, however, stayed behind to call for medical help for Ben, leading to his capture by the police.

- Harry's amnesia plot needed to be better handled. He should be gradually starting to remember things rather than having his whole memory return to him in just one moment. After remembering his resentment of Peter and seeing the "attack his heart!" vision of his father, him making MJ break up with Peter ought to have been less a direct threat that he didn't seem able to carry out and more preying on her guilt for kissing him. Afterwards, more attention should've been given to Emo Peter's continued descent into moral degeneracy prior to him taking revenge on both Harry and MJ. Speaking of...

- Ditch the jazz club dance sequence. Playing the piano and doing a shortened dance with Gwen in his arms to show up MJ would've been enough. We didn't need an extended The Mask style dance.

- Now for the big one: Harry goes to the church at the time Peter discards the Venom symbiote, which then latches onto Harry instead, fully restoring his old self and corrupting him further. Now obviously the reason "Harry becomes Venom" wasn't done in the film is because it was not something that was remotely concieved of in any source material or adaptation in 2007, so the filmmakers felt obliged to use Eddie Brock like always. But now that we have the gift of hindsight, everything setting up a "Harry as Venom" turn was right there - Harry's descent into following in his father's footsteps was a running thread throughout the trilogy, the final installment has Venom in it, and Harry's recovery of his memory plus Emo Peter humiliating and scarring him gives him more reason than ever to be consumed by hatred and a desire to kill Peter/Spider-Man. This really feels like the most obvious conclusion that they tragically didn't go with.

- Because Harry's so filled with hatred, his corruption by Venom takes faster compared to Peter's, to the point where Venom is starting to more and more outright possess and "wear" Harry while he's wearing it. The team-up with Sandman would also use the "coerces Flint into helping him by threatening his daughter" version of events used in the novel and video games, and material from the The Black tie-in comic could be used as Harry increasingly loses himself to Venom. Oh, and with Harry as Venom, there's no room for Bernard and his bullshit late revelation to give Harry his change of heart!

- The climax would naturally be changed a bit: Venom's initial hostage would be Gwen since he knows Peter and MJ are broken up. MJ would see this from the taxi cab she's in and would call the police to try to save Gwen, leading to Venom slaughtering the cops and webbing up the cab MJ's in before putting Gwen inside it along with her. When Spider-Man arrives, Venom replicates his father's Sadistic Choice ultimatum, trying to force Peter to choose between Gwen and MJ, with the one he doesn't choose being killed in the suspended taxi cab that's rigged with pumpkin bombs. MJ drops the cinder block on his head to give Peter an opening to start the fight, which goes until Sandman rises up as Venom's defensive wall. While MJ is saving Gwen and navigating the black web for the sake of their survival, Peter's fight with Sandman ends up making noise loud enough to rattle Venom, so as Sandman goes down, Peter uses his web to pull a weak, nearly dead Harry out from Venom. At this point, MJ and Gwen are safe, Flint gives up the fight and Peter makes his peace with him, it seems to be all over....and then Venom consumes the iron bars around the construction site and enlarges itself, coming after Peter in a rage. While Harry gets in front of Peter to make a stand against the Symbiote, who starts draining the remaining life from out of him, MJ catches a fallen pumpkin bomb and tosses it to Peter, who throws it point blank at Venom to completely disintegrate it. Harry's death scene and funeral proceeds to play out as it did. - The ending would be the same save for one thing - after Peter and MJ embrace, it fades into a final shot of the heart shaped web from earlier in the film. We see Spider-Man swing overhead, his back turned to the audience to signify that this is where this story ends.

Now keep in mind, this is all retrospective ideas for what this movie could have been. Would I actually truly want to heavily change the movie it ended up as? Absolutely not, as it already got its own fixed up edition in the form of The Editor's Cut. If you've not seen this cut, please do! Watching that, along with the novelization, tie-in comics, and tie-in video games. go a long way towards giving you a whole new appreciation for this under-appreciated film (which thankfully recieves more love nowadays. Thanks, Bully Maguire!) and what Raimi and co. were able to accomplish under their circumstances.
