You know what I hate?

I hate it when Marvel Comics just forgets 20 years of cannon and storyline and creates movies that dont even try to stay true to the comic storyline...

Example, Spiderman 3 and the Black costume....

You want to know the real story of the black costume? Go here, or better yet, find the Secret Wars Comics which feature the origin. This movie sucks. I have seen all of the Marvel movies, and most of them have sucked.... The Fantastic 4? Sucked.

I am not going to go into a long speech here. I realize most of you probably dont really care about comic books, but I grew up on them, and am a huge fan of Marvel. I could teach a class on Dr. Doom, The Fantastic 4, Xavier's Mutants, The Punisher and yes, Spiderman. And while the movies may be entertaining to some, to a comic purest like me, they violate the trust of long time fans everywhere...

The story of the symbiotic suit is one of the most interesting stories in the Spiderman Saga. While I realize that it is probably impractical and way too costly to do a movie on the Secret Wars, just the number of heroes would break the budget.... Changing the whole origin of the costume and expecting old time Spiderman fans not to care, is insulting.

Since I have only seen the trailer so far, I don't know how the costume will be explained in the movie. But based on Marvel Entertainment Group's history of ignoring comic book cannon... I am sure it wont be satisfactory...

I hear ya. I am not that into comics so much, but usually their stories are really written well and developed well... so seeing the whole thing change on the big screen is disheartening.

I really liked the Davinci Code, and I didn't like the little changes they made when they went to movie, but then they can't fit a whole book into a movie either.

I saw the cartoon and I thought the whole black suit thing with Spiderman was the thing was alien?

Yes the costume is supposed to be alien. The think is, it is almost impossible to translate a book, even a comic, scene for scene to the big screen, but the whole CHANGING the story line thing bugs me.

Hear hear! I agree with you 100%! Can anyone say "Catwoman?"
