Original First Post (February 2021)
Who doesn't need another TASM2 edit with all of the current ones running around on the internet. My own cut does what most edits do, which is cut the Parker Parental subplot, the train and plane stuff, bad jokes, needless divirtions from the story, etc.
Most of my cutlist is borrowed from EXPOED's Reworked edit. I won't be using any of his material directly, but using his cutlist and edit as a reference point.
CUTLIST
- Reverted opening logos back to their original soundtrack, as opposed to the film's soundtrack which leads into the opening scene
- Film now opens with Norman/Harry Osbourne, but the scene has been cut to remove the scotch story and something about forgiveness
- Removed opening scene of the Parkers on the run aboard their private plane
- Cut shakey GoPro footage of Aleksei Sytsevich colliding with police cars
- Cut GoPro shot of Aleksei crushing a police car with the stolen Oscorp vehicle
- "SPYDAH MAN!" Hello pedestrians!
- Cut Aleksei firing his machine gun into a crowded city street while attempting to shoot Spider-Man, the exchange between the two now ends after Aleksei reaches to grab Spidey
- Added voice-over of Spidey saying "Woah, okay!" after he dodges Aleksei's attempt to grab him
- Cut shot of Spider-Man assisting to steer the stolen Oscorp vehicle while Aleksei struggles with his jammed machine gun
- Cut Peter lying to Gwen about the sirens and the first vision of her dad
- Cut Spidey being sprayed by the wiper fluid, must be a shitty spray if it misses the glass entirely
- Cut Peter Parker saying "and my folks" when Aunt May mentions she wishes Uncle Ben could've attended Peter's graduation
- remove the first "I've gotta find my aunt" from Peter (him repeating things twice is a wierd trait)
- Cut Gwen's "I break up with you" x2, we get it enough in her other lines, we don't need it spelt out to us
- cut a bit of the Spidey-Sniffles
- Removed scene of Aunt May trying to enter Peter's room while he removes his costume
- Removed scene of Peter arguing with Aunt May when trying to wash his costume
- Max's apartment and his wierd shrine to Spider-Man, we get enough that he likes Spider-Man in the elevator and the VO during the later montage.
- Cut Max daydreaming of yelling at Alistair Smythe for joking about being Spider-Man
- Max's fake party thing in the elevator
- Max's tooth gap filling in during the Electro transformation
- Peter saying "that's the question" he repeats it twice for some reason
- Cut any mention of Peter's parents while he and Harry Osborn are skipping rocks
- Peter "Just one Spider-Man, or woman we don't really know...for sure" bad delivery of a bad joke
- trimming down the whole stalker dialogue so its made less creepy
- Spidey calling Electro "sparkles" and some dialogue from him talking about anger or something
- Electro "it's my birthday, so i'm gonna light my candles"
- Peter swinging down after the Times Square fight to have a line or two with Gwen about England, we get enough of it later
- Removed scene of Peter assembling the wall of clues and leads regarding the disappearance of his parents
- cut the Youtube scientist and simply have Peter experiment with the batteries
- Added deleted scene of Felicia Hardy greeting Peter at Oscorp, followed by Gwen entering soon after
- Harry "Does whatever a spider can", bad delivery and spelling it out too much
- Peter: "This is the most cliche hiding spot you could of picked"
- Cut Peter mentioning his parents when venting to Gwen that everything is falling apart
- Added reversed shot of Gwen listening to Peter vent from the aforementioned scene
- potentially cut all of Ravencroft to get rid of that German scientist, and the Electro naming speech, maybe trim instead
- Removed scene of Aunt May discovering Peter's investigative wall in his bedroom
- potentially cut the entire scene of Spidey visiting Harry, if not then trimming the "YOU"RE A FRAUD SPIDER-MAN" and the "everybody wants my money"
- Removed scene of Peter throwing a temper tantrum in his room and throwing his father's calculator against the wall
- Color corrected scene of Harry being fired from Oscorp to make it appear earlier in the day
- Removed scene of Peter entering the subway to investigate his father's secret lab
- Added deleted scene of Gwen visiting Peter's house to inform him that she has been accepted into Oxford
- Cut all shots of Peter watching the recorded message his father left behind
- Edited all shots of Harry breaking into Ravencroft into one cohesive montage
- Re-edited all audio present the scene of Harry breaking Electro out of Ravencroft, allowing it to flow as its own standalone scene
- Cut the german scientist from Harry's Ravencroft visit and the dialogue refering to Electro by name
- Electro: "Remember me?" to Menken, I suppose somehow he saw him while at Ravencroft, unlikely, but now that scene will probably be gone
- Removed scene of Peter leaving the subway while listening to a voicemail Gwen left him saying that she's leaving for Oxford
- Harry: "Welcome back to the bonus round, fairy godmother" all that dumb shit
- Color corrected shots of Harry walking through Oscorp and entering the elevator with Donald Menken hostage
- Cut low FPS slow-motion shots of Harry writhing on the floor while transforming into the Green Goblin
- Add some extra shots in the Goblin transformation from the deleted scene not the entire thing, but a few bits and pieces
- Added deleted scene of SWAT team members guarding the elevator exit with Menken, shots of this scene are dispersed throughout Harry's transformation
- Added deleted scene of Peter returning home only to be informed by Aunt May that Gwen stopped by earlier to say she was leaving for Oxford
- Added color corrected shots of Gwen in a cab on the bridge from an earlier scene where Peter is listening to Gwen's voicemail
- Cut Gwen telling her cab driver to stop the cab, as well as the cab driver responding with "Lady, I ain't even moving!"
- Some of the god complex dialogue from Electro and Spidey's response
- Removed scene of the airport control center reacting to the citywide blackout
- Removed scene of pilots attempting to contact the control center
- Removed scene of Aunt May in the hospital trying to work around the loss of power
- Removed scene of the airport control center realizing that two planes are on intersecting flight-paths
- Added deleted scene of Felicia talking to the Green Goblin in the now destroyed Oscorp building, this audio in this scene has been completely redone
- Removed shots of the two planes flying closer towards each other
- Removed scene where the airport worker states that there is sixty seconds to impact, as the two planes draw nearer
- Removed scene of the airport regaining power and the two planes narrowly avoid each other
- Removed scene of Aunt May's hospital regaining power
- The slow realisation that Harry notices Gwen and Spidey are in the same place at the same time, and maybe Spidey may be Peter, takes way too long for the penny to drop
- Cut jarring half-a-second long shot of Green Goblin lunging at Spider-Man
- Cut shot of the Green Goblin being knocked out where the stunt double is obvious and clearly visible
- Harry and the man in black at Ravencroft discussing the Sinister Six and Rhino
- Add some deleted shots of Peter sitting on the edge of a building, as he just thinks about things
- Removed the final battle with Rhino, the film now ends on a somber cliffhanger where Peter contemplates ending his hiatus and becoming Spider-Man again
Hopefully this whole thing makes the film less of a horrible bloated mess, but then again is the movie destined for it?
I've cut up to just after the Times Square fight, as the runtime up until there is 44 minutes compared to the theatrical's 1 hour mark, so a lot has been cut so far. Overall, I'd like to aim for about 1hr 52min, which is a hopeful prediction but not a concrete guideline.
Here's a rough cut of an ending that I made a while back that didn't have the Rhino, Harry Osborn/Man in Black or the Oscorp Origin Basement. This latest cut will ideally be somewhat similar.
Most of my cutlist is borrowed from EXPOED's Reworked edit. I won't be using any of his material directly, but using his cutlist and edit as a reference point.

Another TASM2 fanedit, not too dissimilar to EXPOED's Reworked as this borrows a lot of ideas from it.
TASM2: Spark of Life however goes a little further to re-edit action sequences with new and extended shots to allow a clearer perception of events, cut a lot of the unimportant subplots out (Parker Parents/Roosevelt, Aunt May, Oscorp/Rhino/Sinister 6, Potential Plane Incidents, etc), refocus the story on whats important, and overall trying to bring some closure to a film that intended to be a lot of setup for sequels that never got made.
