4. Critical Characters Need To Be Introduced
This was one of my biggest problems with The Amazing Spider-Man. I understand that trading Mary Jane for Gwen Stacy was something that really worked, but I really missed Harry Osborne and J. Jonah Jameson. Harry has been Peter's friend since high school, and he wasn't seen once in the first movie, though J. Jonah Jameson being left out is more acceptable because he isn't a crucial character, but he was so funny in the Raimi films that I was hoping to get my comic relief from him in that movie too. I am happy to hear that Mary Jane, and Harry will be in the next film, and that J.K Simmons would like to reprise his role as Jameson. These characters inclusion in the next film will be something that greatly bolsters the quality of the film, and with the mystery of Norman Osborne still out in the unknown, hopefully Harry's inclusion will help to reveal some of those details.
