Black Cat, eh? I don't mind McAdams...

But hell, get on with the reboot! That's apparently what they'll be doing for X-Men 3, so I don't see why they shouldn't do the same here. Both third movies sucked so much ass - but nowhere near enough as the Street Fighter movie to even be considered good for sucking so much.

A bit more on the role Black Cat will play in the movie.

Apparently she is the daughter of the new editor of The Daily Bugle, a man who is also referred to as ‘a viper' (more on this in a second). She falls in love with Peter Parker, and uncovers his true identity. Her father then dies, and Hardy becomes a threat to Peter Parker (presumably as The Black Cat).

God damn it. "I'm a rich girl who likes to steal things and flirt with guys in spandex." How fucking hard is that, guys?
First, we fuck up Gwen Stacy's introduction and almost her entire character (Gwen was a somewhat smart jealous bitch, god damn it. She wasn't a random polite near-airhead. And she WASN'T a model!)... now this.
And you know, I didn't actually give a rat's ass about Gwen. I was happy when she bit it.

But now they're fucking with Felicia Hardy.
And not in the fun way, much less a way that shows potential.
Great.




Oh, and what's the point of having "random girl falls for Peter" when all it does is make a plot thread where MJ bitches at Peter for 40 minutes and threatens to leave him again? It just leaves everyone involved looking like complete dumbasses, Peter look like an unfaithful jackass and MJ look like a frigid overreacting bitch.

Look, I want Spidey 4 to be good. I really do.
But it already doesn't look good.

You know what would be a better storyline for Black Cat? The one they used in the Spider-Man 2 video game.

Short version: Peter's going through lots of stress (the events of Movie 2, plus things like Mysterio trying to show him up). Suddenly Black Cat appears and they form a partnership. Hanging around her makes him feel better because it seems like he's got somebody who understands what he's going through. However, she tries to convince him to give up his civilian identity and become a crimefighter 24/7. After some soul-searching, Peter says no because of his responsibilities, as well as some nudging thanks to Cat's more morally ambiguous style of heroism.

See, that worked because 1) it was true to the original character (insofar as Felicia herself didn't matter to the plot, at least), and 2) the attraction makes a degree of sense, since it's based on mutual understanding rather than "hot blond with nice rack, must fuck". Seriously, the movies are slowly turning Peter into an asshole by having him chase skirt.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this earlier. So, new editor for the newspaper whose daughter falls for the hero? Why does that sound familiar?

::flashes back to Superman 4::

...We're doomed.

Amuro, your idea make perfect sense. Obviously the story behind Black Cat won't be like that. It'll probably be more like Superman 4 like you alluded to. Grrrrr...

Another one to add to the list of possible Black Cat candidates.
Anne Hathaway? Not sure I like...

So... Harry Osborn, who is magically alive again, has another real estate scheme where he decides to take a few snippits of Spider-Man's hair and launch it into the sun with some clothes snippets and a fuckton of nukes?
Somehow, I actually want to see that more than I do the inevitable Spidey 4.
