Benspider wrote: So do you have any suggestions for the new concept for the series? Here's my idea;

The series begins shortly after Ben Parker's death. However, Peter Parker has not yet become Spider-Man, even though he has thought about becoming a vigilante, he's hesitant to because of his fears of how Aunt May might react.

Meanwhile, a new crime boss appears in New York, known as the Master Planner. The Master Planner sends his super-powered henchmen, consisting of Sandman, Electro, Scorpion, and Scorcher, to steal pieces of technology from various companies, like Stark International, OsCorp, Hammer Industries, etc., in order to construct a machine which will grant him control of computer systems all over the world.

In Peter's personal life, he meets and befriends shy transfer student Gwen Stacy in a library. As they grow closer, Gwen grows a crush on Peter. However, Peter is oblivious to these affections, as he is too caught up on dealing with the death of his uncle, as well as his powers.

Peter soon takes notice to the crime rate being caused by the Master Planner's super-powered criminals. He finally enacts on his plans to become a hero and takes to the street as Spider-Man, wearing his makeshift wrestling costume. He soon confronts and defeats most of Planner's henchmen, with Sandman being the only one to escape. Along the way, Spider-Man forges a secret alliance with Captain Jean DeWolffe.

At the same time, Aunt May falls deathly ill, mainly due to a combination of heart problems caused by her struggle to cope with her husband's death as well as a resurgent problem with her lungs. As she is rushed to the hospital, Peter and Gwen rush to see her.

Peter learns that the only thing that could help Aunt May are prototype nanites developed by Stark International. However, they were stolen by Scorpion for the Master Planner's weapon. Gwen comforts Peter as he grieves the possible loss of his aunt.

Spider-Man is contacted by Captain DeWolffe, where he tells him that they have a possible location of the Master Planner.

Spidey heads for the docks and infiltrates a warehouse, using his Spider-Sense to guide him towards the Master Planner.

He finally arrives at a laboratory, where he discovers that the Master Planner is actually Otto Octavius, a scientist who was caught in an accident years ago that deformed him and fused a tentacle harness to his body.

Spidey and Octavius fight, but the latter destabilizes some of the support beams, causing some chunks of rubble to fall on the former. As Octavius leaves, Spidey gets a glimpse of a small container of the nanites, but it's too far away to reach and his web-shooters are destroyed.

As Spider-Man prepares to allow himself to die, he thinks back to Gwen, reflecting on the brief time he had spent with her. However, it is then that he soon realizes that he, too, has fallen in love with Gwen.

Finding the strength within himself, Spider-Man lifts the rubble off himself, snatches the nanites, and escapes through the ventilation system.

He then delivers the nanites to the hospital and leaves silently.

On top of the Empire State Building, Peter contemplates his career so far. He muses over how complex his life as Spider-Man is, but also acknowledges the difficulties regarding his life as Peter Parker. He then thanks back to some words that Uncle Ben once told him; you can do anything, as long as you don't give up on yourself.

The next day, at school, Peter and Gwen meet near the front of the school, where he thanks her for staying with his aunt while he was gone. But as Gwen is about to say that it was nothing, Peter kisses her. As he lets go, though, Gwen pillaging back into it.

One week later, Spider-Man, now wearing a new costume (I imagine the Spidey design you've already got for him, but with the black replaced with a dark blue.), meets up with Captain DeWolffe on top of police headquarters, where she informs him of a someone who seems to be obsessed with him. DeWolffe then shows Spider-Man the prep's calling card; a slip of paper with the words "Regards from Mr. Beck" printed on them.

Spidey says that he'll look into it. As he goes to depart, DeWolffe tries to thank Spider-Man for all that he's done, but he stops her mid-sentence, saying "don't mention it". He then jumps off the rooftop, swinging by a long thread. As the camera moves into the moonlight, Peter muses how there will always be a friendly-neighborhood Spider-Man to protect his city.

It's a rough draft, but it's a start.

Influence for this idea comes from The Spectacular Spider-Man, the first Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, and Ultimate Spider-Man. I even took some additional influence from The Batman and Batman: Year One.

I know that you probably won't go for it, but that's all I've got, TBH.
