[_]What If Could Be an Elseworld of...[_] SAM RAIMI'S SPIDER-MAN 4? Part 1

Here's the thing: Sam Raimi did a great job in the Spider trilogy. Specially in  the first two movies, of course, but we can't deny the above-average quality of Spider-Man 3. We all know that a forth piece was coming when things got complicated and he decided to jump off. But... if he had chosen to stay?

Welcome to the hypothetical world of [_]What If Could Be an Elseworld of...[_] !

Title: Spider-Man 4.

Story: clearly all got complicated to the audience when two villains (three if you consider the Green Goblin in the beginning of Spider 3) had to share the story-line with Pete's journey into his dark side. It's also known that the emergence of Gwen Stacy as a love competitor to MJ overcrowded the movie with emotional issues hard to explore among all others Spidey's challenges. Besides, Kirsten Dunst said she was tired of playing MJ, bringing an additional broken link to fix.

The film would show Peter getting serious in his relation with Gwen, while MJ would be just quoted as the ex-girlfriend that went to Canada in order to improve her acting skills. Ms. Dunst would not even appear in the screen. On a back-to-basis strategy to aproximate the forth movie of the first two we could have a deeper follow on Pete and Gwen routine, with scenes where he gets so close to Captain Stacy that the chief begins to fill uncle Ben's place as the boy guider. In the Daily Bugle Peter begins to compete with a new employee, a girl named Felicia Hardy. Slowly she begins to generate investigations towards her possible implication in reports of tefht.

Meanwhile, still working with Dr. Connors, Peter would become friend of another young scientist, Maxwell Dillon, an impulsive and agressive boy with a life similar to Parker's. Along the intense engagement of Peter with the Stacy family and his relationship with young Dillon a private ivestigator will have his children killed during a fight between Spider-Man and the Sandman (did you think he was dead???). Thereafter the ordinary citizen Mac Gargan decides to offer himself as a volunteer for a genetic experiment sponsored by Oscorp and the Daily Bugle (back with J. Jameson, everyone!), becoming then the Scorpion. Looking for revenge against the wall-climber hero Scorpion gets to the end of the movie in an epical fight where Gwen Stacy dies. Drowned in anger Cap. Stacy and Spidey chase the villain. After another enormous action sequence Peter decides to slow down his fury in order to not kill the bad guy, just when Captain Stacy (completely out of his mind) appears to kill Scorpion. The three fellas fall from some hight spot of NYC. Cap. Stacy and the villain die. Full of sadness and anger Peter has a serious disagreement with Maxwell Dillon. The movie ends with a heavy and dark atmosphere, preparing the audience to the outstanding return of Spider-Man in the fifth film!
