[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 182362, member: 4036"] The problem with MJ vs Gwen Stacy is that that would be an entirely other character to introduce either in this movie or MJ in the next. And with Aunt May in the hospital, MJ probably would have show up with the close relation the Parkers and the Watsons have in the books. So that would be that much more cram-it-into the movie. By combining the two characters into one person, they managed to get the heart string tugs of both character's qualities while not having to cut out some of the humanizing scenes for Peter, the ones that help us identify with him. That means we have two fully developed main characters for the second movie and no 30-60 min expositions to soak up our movie time next time. Yes, I think this movie was rife with ways to sequel it. Tobey's contract is for 3 spidey movies. He said if he could have signed up for one, he probably would have as it would have been wiser, but he didn't have the option. And Sam was really persuasive. Besides Eddie Brock, Dr. Connors was also mentioned (Peter lost his job with the will-be Lizard), and with Harry Osborne nicely conflicted we could very well have the second green goblin back in the third movie as well. And with MJ and the "I was in the neighborhood bit", not to mention Spidey calling her not only by name, but MJ in a certain intense scene, and with the much trailer-ized swapping of spit and the look on her face at the end after she has a comparison... Oh yeah, very feasible she's got it all figured. That's the problem with alter ego's that have the same height and the same voice (and the same lips). Now if he'd been wearing glasses.. She'd never have known. Clark's glasses kept him disguised from Lois for who knows how long... [/QUOTE]
