black spidey.. no, not what you think..

The setting might change from high school to college.

He's older than I would have expected based on the casting speculation surrounding this film. Most of the final candidates are genuine teenagers, while Garfield is 27 right now. Originally, the Jamie Vanderbilt script for this film had Peter Parker as a high school student, and the assumption was that Sony would cast young so that they could do several films over the course of high school and college, a la the Brian Bendis take in "Ultimate Spider-Man." What we're hearing now though is that Parker starts the series as a college student, and that makes more sense with this casting

That's probably why they went with an older actor.

so now all of a sudden parker will now be in college and become Spiderman facepalm

WTF is wrong with Sony Pictures???

It's Sony.

I don't get it.

A lot of people were complaining when they said that the character's going back to high school(and even accused it of going the Twilight route) but now that Sargent has rewrote the script for him to be in the start of his college years, people are now STILL complaining because they think that they'll make it to where he becomes Spider-Man in college? Seriously, can people make up their minds?

It doesn't make sense to reboot Spiderman and have him start in college, unless they are gonna have him already have his powers and be a superhero.

That could be what they're doing.

And if he does get his powers while in college so what? Not every comic adaption is gonna be 100% true to the comics.

Heh, kinda what this entire thread was about, except changing him from white to black would be less of a change from him not getting his powers in highschool.

The powers are more important than race, I agree. However, if it's okay to make Spider-Man a black guy, then it's okay to make Superman a black guy as well. And we all know how iconic a character Superman is...

naw the white to black part would be a bigger change

Superman's look is iconic. There is a big difference. It would be like making a red hulk.

....the end their almost sounded serious

How is changing him to a different race a bigger change than having him go through highschool w/o powers and getting them in college?

Actually, I think it makes a ton of senses. Maybe its just me, but a lot, A LOT, of people I know currently or went to high school with seem to suffer from some sort of "Peter Pan syndrome". Do nothing twenty something slackers seems like a common trend these days. The reality of the situation is that "life" stars later today than it did in the past.

I blame the internet... and the beer... and also the weed 😎

But that's not Peter Parker, he is a dedicated "nerd" who gets picked on in HS, he has to deal will all this while trying to live a double life as a super hero, that pretty much shapes his character.
