Beginning: In these Spider-Man series, Sam Raimi has a devastating scene of Uncle Ben’s death. Peter lies to Uncle Ben saying he needed to go to the Library but he was really going to a fight to win some money to buy a car to impress Mary Jane but that night Uncle Ben got shot by a man who hijacked his car. Peter and Aunt May grieved over Uncle Ben’s death for a long period of time. This movie also shows how Peter became Spider-Man by the radioactive spider biting him and Peter learning how to use his powers for the good of mankind (also to avenge Uncle Ben by stopping crime).

Aunt May: In the Sam Raimi films, Aunt May is older looking and always gives Peter knowledge on life (“I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the things we want most, even our dreams”).

Friends:  Sam Raimi has Harry Osborn as Peter’s best friend. Harry is Norman Osborn’s (famous Scientist and owns Oscorp. He also becomes the Green Goblin) son and practically protected Peter through highschool, seen mostly from Flash.

Personality: Tobey Maguire does very well as Peter Parker but doesn’t do too well as Spider-Man. Peter Parker is very nerdy and shy. Spider-Man is very funny and outgoing. Tobey succeeds more in being shy and nerdy rather than funny and outgoing.

Lover: Peter in the Sam Raimi films is head over heals for red head, Mary Jane Watson. He claims to have loved her since she moved there when they were just kids but that’s not comically accurate being that they actually met in college (Gwen Stacey too).

Flash: Flash is the bully who picks on Peter in the Sami Raimi films. He’s strong and jockey along with his friends and dates Mary Jane for a majority of the film. We don’t see too much of Flash in these movies. Also Flash is supposed to be blonde but he’s brunette instead.

Suits: Peter Parker makes his own suit in these films. It’s not a fancy suit, just something to hide his identity and make him look legit.

Web Development: Sam Raimi took the “web developing” a bit literal and made it so that when Peter got bit by the radioactive spider, it was within his DNA to develop this strong, fast webbing.

Internship: Peter Parker works for Dr. Conors in the Oscorp building. Dr. Conors is also Peter’s professor for science.

Heroic Style: Sam Raimi made Peter an individual hero throughout these movies (except for the third movie when Harry tries to help for a bit but risks his life for Peter and dies). Peter always fought alone in these movies.

Villains:  Sam Raimi films had villains such as the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn), Doc Ock (Otto Octavius), the Sandman (Flint Marko), Venom (Eddie Brock), another Green Goblin (Harry Osborn- he hated Peter at first because he thought Peter killed his dad but his dad died by his own glider trying to kill Peter and Harry figured that out and it was all good).

Movie Studio: Sony had the license for this movie (from Marvel)  therefore we didn’t see other Marvel heroes such as Iron Man or other villains such as Thanos or Ultron in the movies. The heroes/ villains also didn’t share the same world. Marvel gets credits because it’s not tied to Marvel Cinematic Universe it’s just Marvel Studios.

Beginning:  In this Spider-Man series, Jon Watts made the movie so it’s after Uncle Ben’s death  and Peter and Aunt May are living alone together. It’s also six months after Peter got bit and discovered his powers, so he’s already out in New York saving lives and decreasing the amount of crime.

Aunt May: In the Jon Watts film, Aunt May is exceedingly younger and we don’t see too much of her throughout the movie.

Friends: Jon Watts has Ned as Peter’s best friend. Ned is a nerdy geek who also has a mini crush on Liz Allens but isn’t as whipped as Peter. He also asks to be “the guy in the chair” once he finds out Peter is Spider-Man.

Personality: Tom Holland is the perfect combination for being Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Tom knows the character/ hero like the back of hand therefore it’s easy for him to act nerdy and shy around classmates and adults but funny and outgoing with citizens and criminals.

 Lover: Peter in the Jon Watts films is head over heals for Liz Allens (which IS comically correct because they did meet in high school). Liz is the brunette who Peter doesn’t really talk to because he gets the crushies around her but eventually builds confidence to do so towards the end.

Flash: Flash is also not the nicest in these films. We don’t see too much of Flash in this movie either but when we do he’s with the decathlon group in his yellow jacket. He’s also a brunette but is supposed to be blonde.

Suits: In the homecoming film, Peter already has a suit that Tony Stark (iron man) made him that comes with a bunch of cool gadgets that Peter still has yet to discover/ use. The suit has visual modifications and over 500 web combinations. The suit also has web wings that allows Peter to glide through the air longer than he can already.

Web Development: Jon Watts went by the comics which Peter develops the webbing in various places. He literally combines chemicals to get the result of strong, fast webbing. He then has little crayon size containers to hold the webbing and he attaches it to his webshooters.

Internship: Peter doesn’t work for Oscorp in these movies, he’s a high school kid who wants to prove himself, so he goes around with Tony Stark trying to become an Avenger but calls it a “Stark Internship” so his identity as Spider-Man doesn’t get revealed.

Heroic Style: Jon Watts had Peter super interested in becoming an avenger which is why Peter was doing the “Stark Internship”. Peter was trying to prove himself to become an avenger and save the world.

Villains: So far the Jon Watts film has Vulture as a villain but by the look of the post credit scenes, we might see some Scorpion action.

Movie Studio: Amy Pascal is a producer (Sony Studios) that was able to make a deal with Marvel to share Spider-Man, so that’s why we see heroes like Iron Man in the most recent film and they share the same world.
