Spider-Man 3 Spoiler discussion #caution: contains Spoilers#

With permission from Umbrax, I begin this thread to discuss the new revelations about the Spider-Man 3 storyline.

Apparently, in a flashback, it turns out that Uncle Ben Parker was actually killed by the Sand-Man and not the carjacker as previoulsy thought.

I ask, what does this mean for Spiderman? Does it weaken his responsibility knowing that he had nothing to do with his uncle's death?

Also, why are they adding this plot change? It reminds me of te first Batman movie when they made Joker the killer of the Waynes. The problem is that I've always thought that the Spiderman movie was very true to the original story (save some minor details) and this kinda screws that up for me.

Any thoughts?

Hmm.
I figured with all the talk of spoilers on the main SM3 thread that this thread would of gotten more attention than this.

Yeah, me too. I suppose I'll have to hold my concerns until I see the movie.

supposedly, this is the entire description of the movie:

www.superherohype.com...

read, if you dare, and then decide for yourselves (kind of like fox news)...

just remember it's from IMDB...

Yeah IMBd has the same credibility problems as Wikipedia and for that matter all wikis.

I didn’t read the blacked out spoiler but I read some of the comments there. Any mention of Ben Riley and you know it’s gotta’ be BS.

supposedly, rami "confirmed" sandman as the murderer of uncle ben...

www.superherohype.com...

This is the spoiler I was trying to protect people from on the main thread.

The alleged Raimi quote isn't specific on Sandman’s involvement with Uncle Ben's death. In fact Ben isn't even mentioned.

If Raimi actually releases this information, then it is fair game and can be reported on the SM3 official thread.
