    Peter is friends with Harry Osbourne.

    Ock is working for Harry.

    Harry knows Peter idolizes Ock.

    As a friend, Harry sets up a meeting for his best friend, with his idol.

    I don't see where the problem lies here, at all. As a matter of fact, it actually STRENGTHENS the conflict, and the Harry/Peter dynamic.

    Why should I give Raimi and his crew so much praise as so many others have?

    That Spider-Man franchise was tainted from the very start and it needed a reboot from the very beginning.

    It's not just Spider-Man himself they screwed over. They messed up everything. The supporting cast. The villains. The story. They shit all over it.

    I mean, look at who they got to play Venom. That is one of the many blatant erroneous decisions they made with that franchise. Not to mention they took practically everything away from Doctor Octopus by having him being controlled by his evil tentacles and having him being portrayed as the friendly scientist and having a pre-existing relationship with Peter Parker. That should have not happened. Oh yeah, there's a lot to be proud of right there.

    The comics are not infalliable. Spider-Man 2 was a great movie.

    Eddie Brock was an amalgamation of Ultimate and 616 Eddie. Topher Grace fit the bill. As a matter of fact, Grace as Brock was one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Spider-Man 3.

    Sam Rami is a hell of a director, who is a avid fan of the comic, but he understands that when you change mediums, the story has to be adapted. I don't know what's so to comprehend hard about that.

    So, wait: DC is presenting Batman as a dark, gritty, urban soldier type who is going up against some truly perverted and messed up individuals.

    Chris Nolan is presenting Batman as a dark, gritty, urban soldier type who is going up against some truly perverted and messed up individuals.

    But because he's not wearing gray spandex, the movie is a failure?

    Nolan didn't contribute anything really new to the mythos that can be considered good. Dawes wasn't. Scarecrow was a joke.

    How was Scarecrow a joke exactly? They got a great actor to play him and followed his origin and modus operdandi really well. Hell, even his look was slick.

    But, wait, he was in a suit and not in a straw hat and he should have had straw and a pitchfork. Also, the ears on Batman's cowl were three tenths of an inch too short compared to the Year One art.

    Movies =/= Comic Books. Hell, they're not even close. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were both very solid movies, but just because they're NOT the Killing Joke or Long Halloween, they must suck, right?

    Hah!

    Honestly, I can think of a better one:

    Stand up. Okay, now put your hands on the sides of your head. Start squeezing really hard. Yes, I know it hurts, but keep squeezing. Now jump up and down as fast as you can until your legs give out. Don't stop squeezing your head while doing this. Now scream as if a parade of badgers were gnawing at your flesh; as loud as you possibly can. Stand back up and spin in a circle until you fall again. Once you start bleeding from the eyes, you can stop squeezing your head. Congratulations. You now know what it feels like to read an issue of Cable.
