10 Lessons Sony Must Learn Before The Amazing Spider-Man 3

6. We're Over The Peter's Parents Thing

One of the most infuriating things about The Amazing Spider-Man was in its inability to follow through on the promises of its trailer - that's to say, the movie was teased as something it actually wasn't, and fans were a little confused when the movie debuted, given that the associated marketing campaign had suggested that the picture centred around some great mystery regarding Peter's parents. And then all we got were a few hints about their mysterious disappearance. Huh? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did what it needed to do, though, and filled in most of the details regarding the whole Peter Parker's parents thing (though, let's face it, the answers were not particularly interesting, nor were they crazy or exciting enough to warrant us waiting to find out in the sequel). Now we've been briefed, then, it's safe to say that we're pretty much over the Parker origin story; the filmmakers would be wise to leave this thread alone now, and to move onwards and upwards.
