8 Comic Book Movies That Were Ruined By Terrible Plot Twists

Comic book movies have delivered some amazing plot twists over the decades. There have been surprising villain switcheroos (e.g. Iron Man, Batman Begins, Captain America: The Winter Soldier), shocking deaths (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, Logan) and revelations that turn the hero's story on its head (Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Unbreakable). All of these examples proved to enhance the story and lift the films up to another level in some way.

2) Peter Was ‘Destined’ To Be Spider-Man

When The Amazing Spider-Man rolled around, it was marketed as the “true” origin story of the hero. As it turned out, though, that movie didn’t really offer up anything fresh and it wasn’t until the sequel arrived that the truth was finally revealed. Unfortunately, it was really, really not worth the wait.

It turns out that Peter Parker is the only person who could become Spider-Man. The genetically-engineered spiders are derived from Parker DNA, given from his father (who was killed by his old partner Norman Osborn). It’s an infuriating twist as it needlessly meddles with a classic, pitch-perfect origin. Even more so than the Joker killing Batman’s parents, making Peter a Chosen One type completely misinterprets the character.

What’s worse, the already-convoluted story was almost complicated further. A deleted scene for the movie would have seen Peter’s dad inexplicably return from the dead! We’ve no idea what director Marc Webb and his team were going to do with that twist, but thankfully we never found out due to the cancellation of the Amazing franchise.
