I say we go with this and give Emma a chance. She won fair and square.

You decided to change the script slightly, to explain that Emma Frost is a child prodigy, having managed to gain multiple Ph.D.'s within a span of two years, and this is her first year actually teaching students. It just turns out that she's really talented at it.
It hadn't taken much time to make that change to the script, thankfully.
Now, you had to see if Emilia Clarke and Norman Reedus were available to film, due to them being on highly successful shows.
But, on the other hand... Norman seemed to be incredibly busy when it came to The Walking Dead, so while he'd be able to do his work on Spider-Man 2... he wouldn't be available for reshoots, which could be a problem if... any problems occur.
Now, it was time to actually get to the filming of the movie.
Emilia Clarke had also once again played well off of Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker, and later Spider-Man, after she finds out his secret identity.
Yeah, you're definitely not regretting the decision to keep her alive.
Adrian Toomes/The Vulture (Michael Keaton) Screen Presence: 93.
Michael Keaton was simply... amazing, when it came to his portrayal of Adrian Toomes, and The Vulture. You truly believed that he saw Peter as a son-like figure, and nearly cried at the look of horror on his face, when he demasked Spider-Man, revealing... Peter.
Emma Watson was perfect, when it came to portraying the young, extremely intelligent, and confident Emma Frost, even portraying her slight inexperience with her new role as a teacher with complete and utter ease.
She was, quite simply? A delight to watch, and you hoped the audience liked her as well. And hopefully, they liked the mid-credit scene, with her being teased as a future villain alongside Norman Osborne.
Mads Mikkelsen had done a good job portraying Dr. Curt Connors, he added a layer of... underlying menace to the character that wasn't immediately noticeable, along with having a fairly affable charm to him.
Gal Gadot once again showed off her acting chops, when playing as Felicia Hardy. You loved the scene of her figuring out Peter's secret identity in the climactic battle after Vulture took his mask off, the suspense was great to see, especially after watching her visually struggle with herself on whether to tell Peter about the Parker Serum or not.
Booboo had... broken his leg a few days before he had to do filming for his character of Delsin Rowe.
And that definitely impacted his performance a lot, not that you could blame him. Who would've thought that a simple accidental trip would lead to a broken leg?
Alexander Ludwig was... fucking perfect, when it came to playing Cole MacGrath, and while he wasn't in much of the movie, mostly being on the side, until the end... that post-credit scene with Spider-Man swinging through Manhattan before seeing Cole, and having his Spidey-Sense go off was especially intense. Especially when it was followed up by the explosion going off, and seemingly killing him along with many others in the middle of Wall Street. That definitely left an impact on you.
And that was even knowing that he'd have to survive for the inFamous show that was in the works.
Wyatt had done a good job as Casey Jones, showing off some impressive hockey skills in a callback to the first Raimi Spider-Man's lunchroom scene, where Casey uses a hockey stick to somehow hit a bread roll that was thrown at him, back to the thrower.
You honestly thought that was it was kind of badass.
Norman had managed to do well as Danny in the movie, having some fun scenes throughout the entire movie, and you especially liked the scene where Danny and Peter bonded over some bikes, making a solid friendship with each other, so that was good to see.
Donnie Wahlberg had absolutely killed it as Max Dillon in his scenes with Peter, showing some phenomenal acting with his grief over Ben's death, and his small cameo in the Mysterio B-Plot was nice to see, teasing the future Electro.
Mike Colter was... decent, but he had trouble getting into character as Aaron Davis, and requested some reshoots to fix this problem he had, as he feels that he understands the character better now.
You were somewhat inclined to give him some reshoots, but that depended on the rest of the movie.
Luke Cage (Michael B. Jordan) Screen Presence: 88.
Michael had once again absolutely killed it as Luke Cage, adding some more humor to the movie with his increasing frustration at just missing Spider-Man, and continually meeting meek, nerdy Peter Parker.
You honestly laughed, when Luke looked at Spider-Man helping people in the post-credit scene, and looked around to the devastation of the city, and muttered to himself, "Another time" before going to help.
Leonardo DiCaprio has once again shown off his incredible talent, portraying Quinten Beck in the B-plot of the movie, watching him stumble his way with other scientists, attempting to create a fusion of technology and magic.
You found the fact that Mysterio was the "magic expert" hilarious, especially when you saw the character admit to himself that... he barely knew the basics.
Norman Osborne (Willem Dafoe) Screen Presence: 98.
Willem Dafoe showed that he's an amazing actor for the movie, portraying an honestly terrifying businessman, with just the right amount of camp to him.
You were really excited to see fans' reactions to the mid-credit scene, showing Norman off as being the one behind the shadowy figures in previous movies.
Lonnie Lincoln/Tombstone (Winston James Francis) Screen Presence: 79.
Winston was really good, when it came to portraying the crime boss Tombstone. He just had this absolutely intimidating presence, making for some fun fight scenes near the end of the movie.
You just... really liked his performance in the movie. You could see him being in a sequel series... or maybe as an antagonist in inFamous? It'd make sense to have a character from Spider-Man 2 show up, after all.
Tom had done a great job playing Harry Osborne, he was just the right amount of... entitled prick, with a sense of rivalry with... Mark Allen-Toomes and Emma Frost of all people. Probably due to the actors' friendships off-set.
He'd also had a fun, kind of awkward relationship with Liz Allen-Toomes, which was nice.
Liz Allen-Toomes was... fairly bland, to be honest.
She was the basic love interest of Harry Osborne, and daughter of the villain Adrian Toomes, and wasn't really... developed upon that idea.
You didn't blame Mischa at all, the script just... didn't give her much to work with.
Mark Allen-Toomes (Daniel Radcliffe) Screen Presence: 77.
Daniel Radcliffe was pretty damn good as Mark Allen-Toomes.
Sure, he wasn't... revolutionary, but he had done a good job as the character, showing a fun friendship with Peter Parker, and a burning rage at the fact that his father was arrested at the end of the movie.
You were really interested in exploring that rage in the future.
J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) Screen Presence: 108.
And J.K. Simmons has once again proved himself to be an amazing actor, playing the iconic J. Jonah Jameson yet again.
He didn't have much to do in the movie, but damn... if he didn't steal every scene he was in.
Karl Urban once again proves himself to be a good actor, playing a pretty fun Eddie Brock, in the few scenes he had.
There was even a scene of him calling Flash Thompson to congratulate him on getting into the army, then calling Colleen Wing to tell her the good news.
You thought that was pretty fun, and that the audiences would like the reference.
Other than some of the cast not being up to snuff due to either injury or sickness, everything was fine when it came to the production aspect of the movie.
The choreography was pretty good. Sure, it wasn't the greatest you've ever seen, but it was perfectly serviceable for the movie, with some truly stunning scenes within the movie. And you didn't expect to see any complaints about it.
Thankfully the editing, mostly done by the director Edgar Wright was... absolutely on point, just like the vast majority of his work. So, that was good to see.
And finally, the VFX was... quite honestly breathtaking to see, you especially liked the effects that Mysterio showed off in his B-plot, so that was good to see.
...Okay, now... you have to get to reshooting. And you can't get it all done in a single month, but.. you can at least do the vast majority, without risk. So that's good.
You have 3 Reshoot Points for each Month of reshooting you want to do.
What do you want to reshoot? (Top 3 can be done safely, can do more, but that would give you a slight malus to the film's results)
And after that, you had to figure out the title for the movie. Spider-Man 2 isn't bad, but it's been used before and may cause confusion with some of the movie-goers.
Also, yeah. I'll admit, I just... didn't like the idea of Emma Watson as Emma Frost, for a few factors. But I shouldn't have done that vote previously. Or at least, not added a recast option. That was a mistake on my part, and I'm sorry.
[X] Plan Triage
- [X] Sound Design: 2.
- [X] Aunt May (Maggie Smith): 24.
- [X] Delsin Rowe (Booboo Stewart): 25.
- [X] Aaron Davis (Mike Colter): 31.
- [X] Liz-Allen Toomes (Mischa Barton): 50.
- [X] Spider-Man: Flight of The Vulture.
Got to get the worst of it fixed first, before moving on towards the better roles that aren't as badly affected, and Flight of the Vulture over the other titles because it implies a lot more about our take on the character than the other ones provide.
