10 Ways To Reboot The Amazing Spider-Man Correctly

3. Try A Cinematic Version Of The Clone Saga. Only, You Know, Make It Good.

The mere mention of the words 'The Clone Saga' is enough to bring certain fans to a level of apoplectic rage. To say this storyline was controversial is something of an understatement and it is mostly considered as a creative low-point in Spider-Man history, a hopelessly convoluted and far too lengthy story with numerous plot holes and secrets dangled that ultimately led nowhere. So, why would we be suggesting The Clone Saga as a potential way to reboot Spidey on-screen? Well, because the initial idea for the story is very cool. What if an exact duplicate of Peter Parker appeared, claiming that he was in fact the real Peter and the man that we had known all these years is actually a clone? This concept would make for a very strong film, with the theme of identity making for a dramatic core for the story. Of course, the screenwriter would have to sift through all the unnecessary elements of the comic book story, and considering it lasted for over two years, with comics published every week across four Spider-titles, that makes for A LOT of material to be jettisoned. But we definitely reckon it could work, perhaps by focussing on Peter and only two clones, Ben Reilly and Kaine. The general movie-going populace wouldn't know a Clone Saga from a Knightfall epic, so the baggage associated with the story isn't really there for the mainstream. Marvel would have to deal with a lot of angry geeks, we suppose, but isn't that par for the course with these movies?
