12 Giant Plot-Holes You Didn't Notice In 2014's Biggest Movies

11. Richard Parker Clearly Hated Peter - The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Marc Webb's decision to reinvent the Spider-Man origin story to include some genetic nonsense about him being the key to the experiments - because he was clearly the worst scientist of all time - at least offered some freshness to the tale, but it made Parker Snr look like an awful person. Not content with tying his infant child to the experiments, and fundamentally ensuring that his life would never be normal, Parker then fled with his life at threat leaving Peter at home in the "safety" of extended family. But wouldn't Oscorp be committed enough to tie up all loose ends? Wouldn't Peter represent an almighty loose end who wouldn't simply be ignored entirely because his parents ran away? And even more importantly, Richard knew that Peter was the key to the experiments: did he simply assume that Oscorp's team of mega-scientists would simply fail to connect the dots entirely? Shouldn't he have hidden his child away at least? Perhaps he actually wanted Peter's life to be ruined all along?
