This is a clip from my fan edit of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, one of my favorite superhero movies that sadly fell victim to Sony's meddling. It restores many deleted scenes as well as some minor changes.
I don't care what people think. I love Max Dillon's proposal as a lone nerd who was disappointed with his hero. The first time I saw the film, I saw myself in it.
Same, I got bullied and teased a lot in Middle School and High School that cause me to do horrible things, I was really aggressive and I have autism and a mental health disability as a result, I had a messed up reputation, it's only Middle School and High School that I was really bad in, I was ignored, forgotten, depression, got bullied a lot, got teased a lot, lose control of my emotions, wants attention, to be notice, to be taken seriously, wants to be listened for once and a while, I been single for a really long time with no love experience cause girls bullied me and were mean to me that cause me to hate love forever and to hate myself, I knew relationships don't work out since I was 9 years old. I'm the type of person who doesn't get along with society, I must be an artsy and smart one. I act like nobody cares cause I'm emotional and have autism. Middle School - I got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I once said I will shoot everyone in middle school, it did not go well, I almost got suspended, but did not, it's that moment that I realized I have autism. High School - I also got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I got hospitalized for the first time and then twice in my final year in high school after I snapped and bite a student's arm and got arrested by the police in May 2018, then I said I want to commit suicide and got taken to the ambulance, away from my high school, that's the last they seen of me. it's that moment that I realized I have a mental health disability.
Damn, Even his own mother didn’t care about him. Max didn’t deserve to become evil. Everyone in his life hated him and always ignored him. That’s why he became electro
Could have been so different if that sniper hadn't shot him after Spidey offered to go somewhere else with Max. Maybe then, Spidey could have made Electro into a hero.
*It's explainable why Max didn't want to lose his powers. He was not afraid of ceasing to be powerful, he was afraid of being invisible again to people. Poor guy.*
When he got cured Jamie and Andrew Had an interaction without fighting Saying He became a nobody again but I liked the fact that Andrew understood where he was coming from with or without the power of Electricity
wait a second. Max's mom was hooked up to electrical powered oxygen. So that means that at the end of the movie when he destroyed all of the electric towers, he killed his mom.
@@krisibarra2904 malas noticias en realidad su madre no necesitaba de la máquina en una escena eliminada su mamá no estaba enferma y celebrando la muerte de máx por su seguro de vida ☹
I hadn't seen this in a while and forgot that Max was a huge Spidey fan. Wish they'd referenced that a little more and that he got some of his admiration for Spidey back and expressed it to Andrew
Maxs arc Is a clear way of showing how power changes someone. In this scene with the one where he’s a work he responds being treated like a nobody with confusion and shrugs it off but when he has power he allows the rage to come out without hesitation
Lmao talking like someone who's never been through shit. He became a villain because people deserved it. They treated him like shit and he couldn't do anything about it he's broke and is trying to support the only person he has in his life. He can't bite the hand that feeds. Then he becomes the hand that takes.
I don't quite remember who said it, but apparently it's supposed to mimic spiderman. A complete loser (not to be rude) gains superpowers, and finally gets to do something about his situation. Unlike spiderman however, he never has his "Uncle Ben Moment". There's no one to stop him from using his power irresponsibly.
In the original script, when he woke up after the accident he went home finding out his mother got paid by the oscorp for his son's death and she was happy and not sick like she acts like, so max got angry and goes to Times Squre. Sorry for the bad english
Max isn't dead. He's a pure energy being now. And what is one of the most basic laws of physics? Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Max maybe down now, but he'll pull himself together eventually.
I can relate, it happen to me, I have a villain in me, I went through mental health, I suffer from anxiety and depression, I have Autism and never told anybody that I have it and I don't understand some things and say things I'm not supposed to say, I had trouble controlling my emotions, I was really aggressive, got bullied and teased a lot, girls were mean to me when I was a little kid that cause me to hate myself, people, love and being afraid to give love a chance and I been single for a long time with no love experience cause I have reasons, I had trouble listening and don't listen sometimes, being ignored, mistreated, disrespected, have trust issues, became a jerk to everybody, did horrible things, have a messed up reputation, doesn't get along with society and act like nobody cares about me. I'm not a professional either, I have flaws and issues. It's why I go to therapy every Friday online in Teams to deal with my problems. Middle School - I got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I once said I will shoot everyone in middle school, it did not go well, I almost got suspended, but did not, it's that moment that I realized I have Autism. High School - I also got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I got hospitalized for the first time and then twice in my final year in high school after I snapped and bite a student's arm and got arrested by the police in May 2018, then I said I want to commit suicide and got taken to the ambulance, away from my high school, that's the last they seen of me. it's that moment that I realized I have a mental health disability I'm so relatable and sympathetic when I act out because I have Autism, was depressed or sad because everyone seems to be doing better than me and nobody seem to care. I know what its like to have pain, I wish I had my chance with that really smoking hot, Latina girl with black hair back in my final year in high school, but I didn't cause I did something horrible in the end and she doesn't even think about me or know I have Autism, that I don't understand love, or even experience it cause I been single for a long time with no love experience. I knew relationships don't work out since I was 9 years old because I watch a bunch of Novelas based on them and I have other reasons to remain single for a long time. Nowadays I don't care anymore and gave up on love, everything, and everybody, I will worry about myself and trust nobody, have nobody, and be forever isolated and alone in the dark.
@@raphaelcaamano1884dude i get it i got mild autism and was bullied and treated like ssssShit in elemetry and middle school also by my big brother and i was completly quiet in highschool so i was labled the weird one or school shooter so i was rude to everybody like i ignored them or gave them the bird finger if they asked me anything or needed something or trying to interact with me well exept the adults they didn't deserve it like the kids did and people would bully me verbally there but it wouldn't bother me one bit cause i was used to it by then but those who tried to bully me physicaly i bullied them back and everyone would get mad at me saying i am mean and move away from me which is what i wanted but the adacity to say that after they started it makes my blood boil i had a fiery heart throughout those years and i was always alone just on my phone some girls did like me but i learned early on that that's a waste of time especially with what i have so i ignored them or annoyed them so they would go away i knew nothing about relationships so i stayed away from that stuff and i would always get talked down like a tolder by teachers and some kids which was so embarresing but i don't blame them they can't read my mind but having autism and knowing you have it and are able to mask it in public it sucks sometimes i wish i had it servere to where im not self aware don't have intellegence of anything logical or a sense of decency and normal human behaviors those people have it lucky in my opinion /:
Alot of people go through that, alot of people are Max. Alot of people are lonely. I haven't heard from my family for a couple of years now, I celebrate my birthdays alone, I celebrate my Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years alone. Sadly, I was just unlucky in this life im in right now. Go help people if you can.
@@oscartheengineer hang in there bro things will get better. go out and meet new people if you can and maybe give your family a call. my prayers are with you brother ❤
The background music being all quiet and innocent which matching to Max’s personality which then takes it to then next level which the electric guitar which is when max transforms. I love it
See…..if this version of the scene were in the movie, I’d probably feel for him more. Like, his mental snap as Electro actually makes more sense with this, _not by much_ but enough for it to work.
This scene really needed to be in the first version of the movie It shows that Max didn’t just have a bad friend life but a bad family life and probably childhood from a mother who didn’t care for him But because it not in the movie he just seems like a random friendless nerd that goes crazy
Needed this scene in the movie. The effect of Max’s mom straight up disrespect to her son adds another person to the list that fucked him- his own mom. The brief period where he snapped in his mind also works with the one we see later in the film (which is the only one in the official release) better illustrates that Max is not okay mentally.
I really wanted for them to include this on the movie, it'd show way more that Max was an unstable person, that he was tired of everyone hitting him, and deep down, he wanted to hit back
This clip and the fact that he later becomes Electro just goes to show that the geniuses of this world should be respected and listened to and admired no matter their personality, job, interests, social skills, or talents
From what I know, emails from Kevin Feige to Sony that was leaked because of the Sony hacks, and he said to maybe remove scenes of him in the apartment which makes him seem pretty crazy and hard to relate to.
@@l.i.o.n3698 Not really, look up Caravan of Garbage where they talk about The Amazing Spider-Man 2. They do go into talking about the Sony hacks and Feige's emails. Feige wanted them to condense some elements like removing the scene of Peter's parents like that plane scene as well as removing the fact that Richard put his DNA into the Spiders so that Peter could become Spider-Man because he felt like having Peter be the only one who could become Spider-Man took away from the everyday kid angle of Peter Parker. He did say to remove that scene in the apartment because he thought it made Electro look too insane and hard to relate to. I disagree with that but still, wild shit. The reason was that there were plans to bring Andrew's Spidey into the MCU, and if he was going to inherit that Spidey, he at least wanted that movie to be good.
Max’s Mindset Is just everywhere just watching this scene is like he’s trying to be “normal” but he can’t at the same time he wants to be noticed as he said further in the movie Jamie Rolled Max Dillon/Electro Phenomenally Even in NWH 🕷🤟🏾
You can really see that Max really love Spider-Man. It all started when Spider-Man gives him life speech when Max was saved by Spider-Man. You can also see how many Spider-Man posters he have, the cable that he make into some kind of Spider-Man figure and then you can see at 0:08 Max arranged the newspapers letters to "Max and Spider-Man save New York"
To this day, I still wonder why Sony canned this scene. It's direction is great, it gave purpose to the villain and more personality, and it also makes the audience care for him beyond mild interest.
Good god! Jamie Foxx acting here was phenomenal. I don't know why it didn't work when the movie came out for everyone. Yep, he wasn't understandable at the time. But now look back at this, he was the OP in the " We live in a society" even before Joaquin phoenix's Joker.
Despite not being a loner, I still feel Max. I too have fake conversations with me pretending to be other people in my life, or making imaginary scenarios where everything goes my way.
The sad thing about this scene is the only one in the entire movie I can relate to…. Not trying to sound edgy or anything but yea… trying so hard to impress someone (Parents, Family or even couple) it’s so hard on yourself, I really wanted to hear a “I’m proud of you but never did or never will” I asked my mom to quit smoking but never listened, yet her boyfriend asks her and she did. After that I felt I was meaningful.
My guess is that after being bitten by those eels he kind of rebuild himself to what he wish he looked like and that became his physical form. That's why after losing his powers he looks different
It just burns me up to see a nice and innocent man like max, who works hard and tries to make an honest living get electrocuted the way he did and nobody even cared, it makes me so mad every time 😡.
Max never deserved an inch of what happened to him in the movie, i dont blame him for having psychotic thoughts especially after what he had been through, being electro was the last straw for him
My girlfriend‘s Mum is that kind of bully. Quick to point the finger, always belittling her children, but never takes responsibility for why 2 of her children are criminals, one has extreme anger issues, and another one is deeply depressed and I’m doing my best to keep her from ending it all. The only one that’s doing well for himself is the one who lives with his boyfriend away from her. This character is maybe exaggerated a bit but there’s only so much time in the film so they have to get the point across that Electro is a tragic villain.
I know it’s cliche to say, but they really should have left this scene in. It just proves that Max felt completely alone and unloved in the world. Even spider-man had an aunt may and friends who loved and supported him, Max had nobody. Not even his own mother loved him
That is a ridiculous take, how can he say that about a scene that was deleted from the movie, if anything he is talking about how he has a second chance to live due to arriving in the MCU and that no-one will take it from him.
He didn't care about anyone after he became Electro because no one cared about him, and even hated him, called him a freak and a monster. So he became that monster people saw him for. Classic Frankenstein story.
@@kaankaraca2001 It was originally even harsher, there's an unreleased deleted scene where after Max wakes up as Electro he tries to go home and sees his mother accept money from Oscorp employees to keep quiet, and that's why he doesn't go back
You can understand why he snapped his entire life he's has been made fun of or looked down on, even by his mother the one person you could rely on if your at your worst.And he never says anything back about it.
It's still not done. I can't work full time on this so unfortunately I can't give an exact time when it will be done. I have a lot of other things to do. But hopefully I can get it done and uploaded soon.
I have an available extended version for ASM1 right now if you're interested, though I don't know if you would prefer to wait for an updated version, which I'm still working on? If not then send me a private message to me (Masirimso17) on forums.fanedit.org and I'll provide you with the link.
I never knew this scene existed. I honestly figured that Max's parents, or at least one of them cared about him. Oh how wrong I was after finding this.
Everytime I see max in this movie I feel like crying for him, his mom and everyone makes fun of his amazing iq and max is the result of basically making fun of someone with a talent. Like if you want more respect for max ❤
