"In that case," you say, "we should track down the second Spider-Man movie from this trilogy."

"Wait, this trilogy?" she asks. "There've been more Spider-Man movies?"

"Of course," you say. "But we'll worry about the reboots after Spider-Man 2."

You use the cable's On Demand system to track down the 2004 sequel.

The movie begins with Peter Parker struggling to balance work, love-life, and being Spider-Man. Not only that, but those he cares for are struggling: Mary Jane's Broadway career isn't going smoothly, Harry Osborne is still dealing with his father's death, and Aunt Mae has been given an eviction notice!

All of this stress and guilt weighs on Peter's mind, and as he's swinging along, his webbing stops shooting! Spider-Man lands on a wall, but then his wall-crawling ability disappears and he falls! He smacks against cars parked below, and survives, but all banged up. Peter hobbles home in confusion.

"Whoa, did his powers just quit on him?" Raven asks.

"Yes."

"Oh, is that why they gave him organic web shooters? So those would be affected along with the rest of his powers?"

"That's assuming they thought that far ahead from the first movie," you say.

At a later time, Harry, now head of Oscorp's research division, is sponsoring a fusion power project by nuclear scientist Otto Octavius, and invites Peter. Peter meets Professor Octavius and the two become friends through their intellect. The professor becomes a bit of a mentor to Peter, along with Mrs. Octavius. They try to help Peter solve his romance problems, but Peter suddenly using poetry doesn't really work on Mary Jane because she knows he's not the kind.

During this period, Peter's powers fluctuate on and off, and he talks to a medical doctor. Peter uses hypotheticals and ambiguity to ask the doctor what he should do about being Spider-Man. The doctor says Peter needs to decide whether he wants to be Spider-Man or just Peter.

Peter and Harry attend a public demonstration of Professor Octavius' fusion experiment, along with his harness of powerful robotic tentacle arms with artificial intelligence. The AI is kept out of his own mind thanks to an inhibitor chip, so there is no danger to them taking over.

During a public demonstration that Peter and Harry attend, a power spike causes the fusion reactor to destabilize. Octavius refuses to shut down the reactor, which goes critical. The resulting small sun and its massive gravity field causes all kinds of damange, killing Mrs. Octavius and burning the inhibitor chip blocking the arms from his nervous system. Peter, as Spider-Man, shuts the experiment down, destroying it in the process.

At a hospital, doctors prepare to surgically remove Octavius' harness. However, without the inhibitor chip the arms have developed sentience and attack them. Upon regaining consciousness and seeing the carnage, Octavius escapes and takes refuge at a harbor. The tentacles start talking to Octavius, convincing him that he was not in the wrong. They say Harry Osborne and Spider-Man are the ones to blame for both the accident and his wife's death, and Octavius believes them. He decides to recreate the experiment, but knows that will require many things.

A) Bring up the continuity differences
B) Stay quiet until later
