Alright I know I have no way of proving this but, Stan Lee did a radio interview with Toronto's Edge 102.1. In this interview (over the phone) Stan Lee said he was happy with most the casting (as he always does) and he also was asked if there were changes made the story that he wasnt happy with. His response IIRC was that the one thing people ask him alot was about the web shooters being removed. He said that while he wouldnt have made the change, he thinks for the movie format it was something that was needed for the character. The web shooters would have needed more time to explain correctly and that the movie crowed was not the same as the comic crowed and that things cant be as complicated in the movie as in the comic.
I thought it was a very good answer. Does he think its awesome and hes totally happy with it? No, what he said was that it was important for the movie to have organic shooters. Last time I checked Mr Parker, you have no reason to critique anyones writing. Not that I do too. You can cry about it until youre blue in the face, but the final word is that the change needed to be made. There arnt 10 billion spider-man fans out there. The comic industry doesnt have millions of people buying spider-man comics. Therefore changes must be made. Things need to be made simple. Its a horrible fact and I hate it with all my spirit, but theres nothing you nor I can do. You can be mad about changing the personality and you can be mad at changing the character looks. However you can not be upset when the make plots more simple, stories more simple and things like that.
Movies =/= Comics.
Besides, its my belief that Mr Parker is not a spider-man or man-spider fan. If he was he would understand that SOME changes MUST be made to the comic in order to convert it over to a movie. If he was a real fan who actually loved the character as much as some of us do (and I dont really consider him my favorite character but I do think hes one of my top 5) he would accept the slight change and go on with his life.
I mean really, Spider-man stories come along that change continuity all the time. When that happens you just dont buy that series of comics? Stick with the book you like. lol Mr Parker is just some kid trying to get everyone worked up. Just ignore him haha.
