This is what Cammy said he wanted to do with a teenage boy:

"Something is causing the sheet to stick to him. He lifts it, revealing
a sticky, white mass completely covering him,
gluing him to his bedding. It is some silky substance webbing him into
the covers. He cries out in dismay ...
struggling to free himself from the gluey strands. Where did it come from?

He notices his wrists. They are oozing a pearlescent white fluid from
almost invisible slits about a quarter of an
inch long."

Cannot say that what we got was much better. Tobey McGuire's 'deer
caught in headlights' acting was quite dissappointing.

Tell me about it! He must have been seriously pissed when he learned
he wasn't getting a $50 Mil. payday for wrecking two more "S-M" flicks.

:-D

...starting to think Garfield will be a better choice,
doubtful he's gonna be worse.

A story like this would be a good idea. Much as Batman demanded Man-
Bat (as Neal Adams observed), Spider-Man also demands a man-spider.
After all, a REAL spider, is extremely creepy and gross.

In Spidey 102, Stan cured the six-armed Spider-Man much too quickly,
after exploring virtually no implications at all.

In "Heroes" the writers started to do it, by making Dr. Suresh into a
creepy, evil man-spider, but then ignored the plot line. Without ever
being cured, one day he simply wasn't a creepy man-spider any more,
and then his human character was hardly ever seen in any more episodes.

Heroes, like Lost and so many other shows, claimed to have a master
plan all along, but then the writers (Loeb/ Damon Lindelof & Carlton
Cuse/ David Goyer etc) wrote themselves into a corner, never admitted
they had done so, and then took the easy option out. Thankfully, many
of us spotted that the writers had no idea what the 'master plan' was
before the show came to an end. Thankfully we did not wasted 6 years
on an answer that never came either...

In thirty seconds, I could undo the wreckage that ended X-Men 3 and
still leave the producers 89:30 to save the mankind from itself.

Tough situation are merely a challenge for the writers to flaunt their
mastery of the medium. With comic books, you're never written into a
corner, because any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.

Hmmm... That sounds exactly like the new 'V' series! :-D
Except this show will get canned by the end of season 2.
