Viral Video: How ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Should Have Ended Michael Lee, September 26, 2014September 26, 2014 So The Amazing Spider-Man 2 wasn’t everyone’s favorite film of the year. Cluttered with character flaws, bad dialogue, and living up to “style over substance,” the film was a disappointment with critics and didn’t earn as much at the box office as Sony would have hoped. But numbers don’t matter. As it will be a film remembered for all the wrong reasons.We’ve seen videos pointing out that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is chock full of plot holes, bad writing, and product placement, and as the How It Should Have Ended team will point out, a lot of those plot holes could have been prevented if the characters had made better decisions. Hit the jump to check out the HISHE video for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.Cinema Sins and Screen Junkies have already pointed out some of the flaws of the film, but it is still fun to see what would have happened if the OsCorp team had closed the lid, or if Peter’s parents had chosen to stay in the secret underground subway car instead of flying off to god knows where.The video then hilariously goes off the rails by pointing out that Electro would have been better off in the music industry instead of trying to get revenge on Spider-Man. Then there was the Osborn curse blood plotline that was easily crushed by the HISHE team. Hopefully this means we won’t be seeing any more of the magic blood fetish that Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are so fond of.Be sure to check out their other superhero videos like How Captain America: The Winter Soldier Should Have Ended, and more on their official YouTube page.
