Same here. As much as I like some of these films, and the reboots are often improvements over the originals, or the previous reboot, or the seven previous reboots before that, I want to see something new. Why must all the superhero movies be based on the comics? Why can't we build on the story the comics established rather than reusing the comics' ideas and telling the same story over and over again with new actors? Invent some new superheros and villains already.
Yeah for instance when I was a kid Spiderman and Marry Jane were a married couple I would love to see a movie that explored that but not in the way the comics did. Like have Mary Jane be worried but also have her be able to pick Peter's spirits up when he is down. Maybe even give them a kid. I assume having the child of a Spider mutant would be more dangerous then having a normal baby,why not show that? Have Eddy Brock be an ex Boyfriend if you really want to go the soap opera route that the movies and the comics seem to have gone in recent years and then have him out to get Marry Jane as much as he is out to get Peter. Show Peter having fun being Spiderman like there is a whole other side to his personality that he only lets out when the mask is on and instead of having him giving up on being Spiderman all the time because that was one of the most popular issues of the comics why not show him continuing because it is the only way to protect his family,so not only does he enjoy it but he has a good reason for going one. Outside of The Incredibles we have yet to see a family of Superheros on the big screen and I think we have done as much with the high school drama as we can with Spiderman,do something new that no live action movie has done yet. of course this is just an idea off of the top my head I am sure some people hate it and a real writer could come up with something better but still it's an example of something new they could do that wouldn't require a reboot and wouldn't follow the comic book. I think the time has come for super hero movies to start blazing their own trials instead of just remaking the same story lines for the 60s-80s over and over again.
Oh and right on about the new characters. The fresh take on "Robin" in TDKR,the popularity of Harely Quinn and Agent Coulson,and the fact that the modern Mr.Freeze has nothing in common with the classic version proves that well written characters created in other mediums can make the cross over. They have people with a huge amount of talent working on these movies,it's time to let them spread their wings and do something new and bring some fresh blood into these stories.
