Amazing Spider-Man: What’s With The Cut Scenes?

There’s a fascinating look by a fan, which is beginning to pick up traction at sites like Badass Digest, that contends that it appears there were pretty major changes made to Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man all the way up until the last month or two. The changes substantially cut down on the Oscorp subplot that was the “untold story” the film was teasing in its earliest posters and ads.Some of it is just the same questions we’ve already raised, like whatever happened with Uncle Ben’s killer and why didn’t Spider-Man try harder to resolve that once he decided that he was a superhero in a broader sense (thanks, Captain Stacy!). Some of it goes deeper than that, though, and there appears to have been quite a bit cut out of the last third of the film, including some material that has some real significance in terms of Oscorp and perhaps even the identity of the mysterious man in black who appeared during the credits.
