I'm working on the official Release update, but I'm brainfarting on a part.
I need a good quote, from Spider-Man to The Shocker. Any ideas? I was going to go with the meme "SHOCKER!!!!!" but that doesn't seem like it'd be good for the type of movie we're doing.

You had launched the movie in January of 2011, having started in May of 2010, spending the better half of a year on it to getting the film made, and perfect... and looking at the reviews? It was certainly a hit.
That was more than likely due to the constant advertisements, and the fact that Spider-Man was a household name. You were surprised that so many people even knew of The Shocker, let alone really wanted him as a villain. But you weren't going to complain about more fans wanting to see the movie.
The fans loved it, and the critics had praised it for its dramatic and comedic moments. You didn't see a single dry eye during Marty Schultz's (Aaron Paul) death in the middle of the first act.
They also loved the romance between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Emilia Clarke), thinking that it was one of the best parts of the movie, along with the rivalry between Peter and Herman (Alfie Allen) who was later revealed to be The Shocker.
People had also enjoyed the return of J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), and the new introduction of Felicia Hardy (Gal Gadot) feeling that she was going to be a big player in a sequel, due to her amazing performance.
Thankfully, it was also helped that there weren't many... superhero movies coming out around the same time. The only one you think would possibly count is The Green Hornet, but even then that's pushing it.
You definitely had a hit on your hands, though. There wasn't any denying that.

You'd managed to make an incredible profit from it at the very least. The better half of a billion dollars, the higher-ups were definitely happy about this.

Alright, so that's this one done. Feel free to discuss the update, I'm all about it. After this, we're going to get to work on the next movie.

1] Since audiences believe the romance between Gwen and Peter was one of the best parts of the movie, we cannot alienate them with an adaption of 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died' for the foreseeable future and that if the idea is ever to be unshelved, it should be saved for when it makes the most narrative sense, has the proper setup and it isn't a way for us to write in a new love interest, like Felicia or MJ; my suggestion is that we save it for our inevitable SpiderVerse event, and adapt it into the backstory of someone like, say, Old Man Spider-Man.
2] As the rivalry between Spider-Man and Shocker are one of the more beloved parts of the movie, I think that we should continue building up Shocker throughout Phase I. Maybe he won't be a major character in each and every movie, but audiences should get the idea that he's continually building himself up in prison, either literally [Prison Body Shocker] or by becoming the leader in the yard. He could show up for a couple scenes in Black Cat, asserting dominance in the yard against Mafia goons and/or striking up an alliance with her Big Bad (I'd like him to be the Rose), and him just starting out in prison in a Luke Cage movie.

While I do think Shocker should get his own movie, I'd rather we hold off on that until after Sinister Six, which I believe should be the Prison Breakout movie.
Either way, we don't currently don't have the wiggle room necessary to make a Shocker movie fit in Phase I, considering that we only retain ownership over the Ghost Rider and Luke Cage film rights for the next, what, two years, if that? We need to figure out what to do with them stat, and then have the discussion over what other movies we can justify for the rest of Phase I, such as Black Cat and Spider-Man 2.
Well, we did well (the total box office was the same as that of IRL) but worse than I expected (I hoped that we could earn the same as the first of sam Raimi, which earned approximately 800 million)
I would switch around the Domestic and International sales international usually always beats Domestic in sales for instance the amazing spider man made 262m Domestic and 495m International.
The long-dead wife of Peter Parker. Though dead, she appears as a recurring hallucination to Peter. It is revealed that she died of cancer brought on by exposure to Peter's radioactive semen during intercourse over the years
Why do you think I suggested adapting 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died' to Old Man Parker? By making it more immediately pertinent to his guilt and trauma, we sidestep that nonsense with radioactive spider zygotes and make it narratively relevant to our version of Spidey.
Also a potential cool scene toward the end, something along the lines of Old Man Spidey with a hand on a version of his younger self with a line like "Don't make the same mistakes I did Peter" as he says his goodbyes, looking past him to a living Gwen, before stepping back to his universe a little lighter in spirit.
If we want to do a spin off, a Black Cat movie as a caper film, possibly with some cameos, may be lower budget than a more overt power based character. Sets her up for more fun in the next spider film.
With the success of Spider-Man: A Shock of Heroism, both critical and commercial, it was time for you to begin work on your next movie. Thankfully, Avi Arad had given you a great scriptwriter to help with the scriptwriting part of the process, so that should go smoothly enough.
What film do you want to work on?
[] Spider-Man 2, it's best to get it done as quickly as possible to profit off of the success of the first one.
[] The Shocker had proven to be quite popular, maybe you could do a spin-off movie with him as the protagonist?
[] A Black Cat movie could be good to do, Gal Gadot was amazing in the role.
[] A Venom movie could work, if you were confident enough in Karl Urban's performance.
[] Luke Cage deserves his own movie, and... you kind of need to keep the rights to the property.
[] Ghost Rider should get a better showing than the Nicolas Cage ones, at least in your opinion.
[] A Kraven The Hunter movie could be interesting, at least in your opinion.
[] Sandman was a surprisingly sympathetic part of Spider-Man 3... maybe you could give him his own movie? Turn him from a villain into an anti-hero?
[] Mysterio is an interesting character to make a movie out of... a man who uses illusions to fight real threats could be interesting to see.
[] You know what? Fuck it, let's do Spider-Man 2099. Miguel O'Hara is great, and more people should know, and acknowledge that.
[] Also in the realm of "Fuck it", maybe now is the time to make that Aunt May movie?
[] Flash Thompson was quite frankly? Amazing, maybe you could do a movie about him?
[] Mindworm, also known as William Turner, is a fairly tragic villain who saw the error of his ways by Spider-Man, and tried to do good... it didn't work, and he died in 2005, maybe you could change that? Give him an interesting story, though he may be better in an actual Spider-Man movie.
