I still have no idea why they're rebooting the franchise just 10 years after it started. Raimi's first two movies were excellent renditions of the comic. Yeah, the third one sucked, I get that but the franchise can move forward beyond that instead of just starting over (though starting with Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane IS pretty awesome).

I think they're going with a more Ultimate universe-centric approach this time around to tie it in with all the other Marvel movies. Spider-Man 3 was just so bad that I feel the franchise would never be able to recover with the same cast and crew. I think starting over is a great move especially with a younger cast and *fingers crossed* a hotter Mary Jane.

But that doesn't really explain Gwen Stacy, who was marginalized in the Ultimate universe. And Iron Man DEFINITELY wasn't anything like the Ultimate universe.

Anyway, I'm not 100% against this, I just don't really see the point. It comes off as an attempt to just milk the franchise. There are plenty of directions they could take the current franchise that would make it interesting again.
