4. The Love Interest
The Original Version... had the shallow, wooden Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, who added nothing to the movie beyond screeching and getting in the way. Perhaps Raimi was afraid his movie was going to be too good, and decided he needed to find some way to ruin it and to raise the audience's blood pressure. I think you can see where this is going...
But the Reboot... starred Golden-Globe nominee Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, who not only proved to be a useful and important character in the 2012 film, also has the coolest voice of any actress today. She's featured in a string of highly successful films, most notably 2011's The Help, in which she starred opposite Bryce Dallas Howard, who played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3. Mind. Blown.
The Winner... Are you kidding me?! Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy!
