Why Did Spiderman's Face Have To Be Shown In The Last Film?

um, i think one exclamation point would suffice, dude.... not "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or all caps. It makes people think you're freaking out.

I'm Asian too, fyi...

IMO, It's the 21st century so writers have to get creative in order to keep the reader interested. That's the point of soap operas anyway because they leave you wanting to find out more. If it's just a story about Spidey fighting another new supervillain, it gets old pretty quickly. When you dwell into a superhero's family and relationship, you attempt to connect to the real-life reader because in essence, the reader can relate more to the superhero. Spidey has soul and it makes you stop and think "hmm...he's fighting all these supervillains all the time but what WOULD happen if MJ suddenly died...or he forgot to pay his mortgage?" These are problems we can all feel more akin to than a "tyrannical mutant terrorizing our streets." I think that's why millions of people are Spidey fans....Stan Lee found the secret that would keep an audience. For myself, the Spidey 90s Animated Series surprised me with a cartoon that showed a character who struggled with his personal life while battling alongside superpowered villains. And the continuity from each episode maintains the humanness of this iconic character.

(And I DID just look up whoose....didn't find it. Sorry. 😉 )

I thought revealing himself to Ock made perfect sense, Harry knowing his identity made sense, and Mary Jane knowing made sense, those are all fine. The problem I had was with the train people. I still don't see a reason for him to take the mask off scriptwise, it didn't contribute to anything. "He's...just a..kid.." was a great line, but Ock could've said that instead if he really wanted to keep the line in there.

HI FOLKS! I'm a big spidey fan and been since the age of 10. Why in spiderman two did Spiderman's face have to be reveale to so many people? That killed the film for me because we all know how his early waring buzz would have given him a migraine if people kept seeing his identity!
It was such a great film till then! Spidey would never nevr do that! If that happened he would have spinned a web over his face! Sam R spoilt a great ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they had to show his because they just did. Happy?

look what do you mean let him see his face? it wouldn't do much good to be wearing a mask where the eye covers are shattered would it? he had to take it off, and he was a tad preoccupied with SAVING A TRAIN!!

spiderman's face wasnt shown in the first movie was it?

anyways, these movies by sam raimi are called interpretations, not an exact re-enactment or documentary, but what sux is that he asked his brother hoffman to help him with the spiderman 3 script!

No, it's his brother Ivan that's helping him, not his brother Ted/Hoffman.

Also, I like it how everyone found out Peter was Spider-Man, it leaves people interested in what Harry and Peter will be like to each other in Spider-Man 3, it gets a lot deeper into the story, I think it was about time too.

He couldn't help Harry finding out, he was only just becoming conscious when Harry yanked off his mask.

It was unavoidable that Mary-Jane would find out, she was right behind him.

He had to get through to Octavious, and the only way to do that was too show him who he was underneath the mask.

I can't remember who said this but someone said that the comics were becoming stupid because Peter was thinking 'I'm not suppose to have what I want, I'm meant to live an unhappy life.' THAT'S THE WHOLE ESSENCE OF PETER PARKER!!!!!!!!!!! That's why so many people like him because he's somebody they can relate too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's a kid with a lot of problems and that's why people like him because he's so like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you only just start reading the comics just now or something?

Also, if he didn't take his mask off on the train his face would have been burnt off, didn't you see the sparks catching onto his mask?

And of course The Avengers and Wolverine won't be seen in Spider-Man 3!

They live in a completely different world then Peter Parker. It's just like our world, Peter Parker doesn't exist in our world.

Honestly, I wish people would stop asking if other Marvel characters will be featured in the next Spidey movie.

WORD! You're truly getting me there! Well, I guess that's the way love goes! I mean, I guess Peter loves the public so much in the film version he can trust the public so well.

Anyways I hope the next film adds a twist and he gets his picture taking by some mysterious cabbie or even a CCTV in the train that somehow captures the moment his face is shown. Now that will be a twist!

BLACKCAT, YOU A COOL KITTY

I dig you out dude and I know film versions try to be different from comics , it was a really great film ( the fight scenes and all and Peter as the nerdy sort of guy) it would have been cool to take offf the mask and then spin a web around his face like the buggy monster! Spidey's done that in the past.

spyCspider, apologies! No dissing meant! We're all nerds to some people in the world for even discussing this!! Know what I mean? It's only fantasy aint it? KEEP ON SWINGING DUDE!

And of course The Avengers and Wolverine won't be seen in Spider-Man 3!

Wait a sec dude! How comes in the comic Spidey has met this cats before? Spidey's even gone on some capers with them. He used to be best friends with the human touch and if its the same manhattan they're meant to dwell in how cant they met up? I'm not talking about Metropolisis or Atlantis you know! Sure spidey wont bump into Batman or supes which he already did, its just that since comics are now being translated into films, can they meet up? JUST ASKING.

WHAT'S YOUR FED BACK? There's something going on about the mutant wars and spidey's even in charge at some point........... since the avengers have taken that route in the film, people versus mutants,
wouldn't they have to rescue spiderman from a mob one day? HAHAHAHA..............HA.

The reasons they wont' let Spidey meet other non core-Spidey realm Marvel characters are:

1. If we're talking about Daredevil or the X-men, there are licenses to those characters and the movie studios won't allow it to happen. Different property rights. It's not just Marvel...Sony, Columbia Pics, etc all have a say. And that costs $$$.

2. It would be too random to meet another iconic character just because if that character's story hasn't been developed, it would be unfair to just stick him/her in for the sake of a cameo. They deserve their own movie first.

They could however make slight reference to them. Spider-Man could say something along the lines of "Yeah well not all of us are born with lasers coming out of our eyes." or if they wanted a DC/Marvel mix up, something about his costume could be mentioned and he could say "Yeah I'm missing the cool cape and cowl, I'll have to ask Bruce where he gets his." Ya know, something cheesy and simple but would make everyone that knows what its talking about pull one of the "HOLY SH..hhhh shut up I'm listening to the movie!!!" type of things.

I know! 😊

They do meet up in the comics but the comics are a very different story, the movies are a different world for Peter, a world without the X-men, Hulk, and Daredevil (thank god!)

imo...i thought that the whoe train knowing who he was ...was stupid....i didnt like dat....but having MJ and harry know is acceptable...since the GG knows who spidey is in da comics....and mj finds out eventually...but the train thing? nah ah...not liking it....

ehehhehe only in the movies would sparks and fighting mess up his mask so that he'd need to take it off to see....

Didn't Peter use a brown bag once in the comics to conceal his identity?

Yea..the whole scene was careless,..like his identity didn't matter at all. He even turned around and said "ya, I got a few!" after that guy went "any more bright ideas?" Unnecessary IMO.....I mean, they could've had him take off his mask but not so blatantly try to be cool with everyone seeing his face. Guess they wanted to show how heroic he can be in times of crisis--identity wasn't a priority.

I'm pretty sure that his mask, being made of a strechy kind of fabric, would catch fire easily 😬

I like it how they all know Pete's Spider-Man, it leaves the third open to so many possibilities.

blackcat dont get too much from that comment! I like cats. Spidey showing his face just didn't go with anything I know from vigilantees or heros trying to prevent people from knowing who they were. That included Batman, Captain America and whoever esle takes the pain to were a mask to cover their face! That ending cringed me out! Then the list went on. DR Ock, Harry, and just about anybody else! I know Peter's meant to be goffy but come on now!!!! Will his poster be posted on the internet now with bounty hunters after him now in part three? if it was plastic, he coulda taken it off and webbed his head and face like ZORRO!

I'm pretty sure he was pre-occupied with stopping the train going off the tracks and killing a lot of people then worrying about them seeing who he really is.
