Watched Spiderman 2 the other night

I have to agree, it was better then the original, even if a bit longer. Doc Ooc was much better then the Green Goblin, despite the fact he was kind of chubby and didn’t want to wear a shirt.

I rewatched the original, and one thing came to mind.

Exactly what happened to Peter Parker’s parents? I don’t they ever mentioned this in either movie, unless I missed it.

The movies never mentioned the fate of Peter’s parents.

The novelization for the first Spider-Man movie mentions that they were killed in a plane crash, but that was an element added by author Peter David, based on…

…the comic book canon, which says Peter’s parents were actually spies for the United States government, whose last mission involved snooping on the Red Skull – who engineered a plane crash that killed Peter’s parents.

I just saw it Saturday. Good flick, bad physics. The robotic arms were about the silliest thing I’ve seen. Why attach them physically to your body? They could have been mounted on a cart and controlled by an easily detachable cable from the professor. The runaway subway scene was just wretched and defied all sense, not to mention any reasonable semblence to science. And what was up with taking his mask off so many times?

Don’t be silly. Because if you don’t attach them physically to your body, then they can’t become welded on in a freak accident, thereby turning you into an eight-limbed monster. Don’t you know anything about the Scientific Method?

He obviously never studied Advanced Science.

I thought the same thing. I understand the arms for the fusion reaction, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have the arms controlled by a computer?Particulary so you don’t have to be there ALL the time to moniter the reaction.

It’s pretty much a plot device anyway, and I tend to give it a lot of leeway because it’s a comic book movie. Otherwise, there’s no way Spidy/Peter would have survived all those falls.

Yes well it is a comic book. I did comment to dangermom: You don’t stop a fusion reaction by dumping it into a big pool of hydrogen.Luckily it didn’t ruin the movie for me.

To humanize the character more.
In the first movie when he was in “Spidey mode” it was plainly obvious we were watching bad CG or a random dude in a shabby costume.
Taking the mask off a lot reminded us that it was Peter.
Lovable, wooden Peter.
