My goals were:
- Brighten the entire first movie to match the vibrance of the second movie so the movies feel more cohesive.
- Reduce the parent subplot as much as possible. They are still a motivating factor for Peter, but there is no more plot of trying to uncover their mystery.
- Trim a lot of the smoldering and awkward pauses throughout, especially in the first movie.
- Make Peter less of a popular skater kid. They tried too hard to make him cool.
- Change some of the music choices so that felt out of place.
- Cut some of the over the top campiness in both films.

Both films now run at just about 2 hours each so they don't overstay their welcome.

After discovering a mysterious briefcase left by his father, adolescent Peter Parker embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about his parents' disappearance, further complicating his life as he deals with newfound superpowers, his first love and, most importantly, growing up.

"The Birth of a Hero: A Spider-Man Story" is a retelling of the most infamous chapter in the web-slinger's cinematic history that aims to remove most of the superheroics in order to create a more emotionally grounded narrative about Peter Parker finding his place in the world.

By cutting out scenes that are out of character and using alternant or deleted material form the movie I wanted to give this movie a different feel. I also rescored scenes with different music to recontextualize or emphasize different moments in the movie.

This is The Amazing Spider-Man with all its deleted scenes PLUS the Roosevelt subplot from the second movie added to the first movie. This is the full extent of the promised Untold Story without polluting the overstuffed second movie.

This fan edit is an Extended Edition of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. I inserted all but one of the deleted scenes included in the Blu-Ray into the movie, making for a more complete and satisfying experience.

This Fan Edit will combine Marc Webb's duology to show you the ultimate Spider-Man stand alone origin story. Using my original ideas from my first Spider-Man fan edit, The Organic Eggs Edition, we will explore Peter Parker's parent's story and the introduction of Harry Osborn as Peter's friend, as it always should have been, along with Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn.

Taking just the necessary footage from the second movie, and making the necessary cuts, to give this Spider-Man story, not only a perfect closure, but to modify it in a way so it approximates the spirit and characters from the comics. Cuts and deleted scenes were included in this Fan Edit that help character development and fills some plot holes.

I began this project because I actually liked a lot The Amazing Spider-Man when it was released back in 2012, but it was not free of errors. So basically, I did this edit because I wanted to improve something that was by it's own very solid.
