Write the ending to Spider-Man

According to the producers, Spider-Man still doesn't have an ending yet. And judging by our general attitudes on the board, and the considerable ineptitude of the production team itself, I think we could all write better endings to Spider-Man than they could.

Just one rule to make this not so easy- you can't say "The show closes early!" That joke is too obvious, so I'm saying it to start us out.

Some ideal endings to Spider-Man to justify that $65 million price tag...

Spider-Man takes off his mask... and it's been Batman the whole time!

Spider-Man, flying over the audience, sings "Look under your chairs... look under your chairs! Aaaand... YOU get a Prius, YOU get a Prius, YOU get a Prius!"

The Spider-Man/Arachne sex scene finally happens, and both of them, upon reaching orgasm, ejaculate genuine cash money onto the audience.

Spiderman appears in someone's bathtub. They turn the taps on full force and flush him down the plughole!

The cast breaks out into a medly of Best of Glee Season 1. And it turns out Mercedes was behind the mask the entire time. This is revealed by a high belt at the end of the show as she takes the mask off

Peter wakes up in the hospital; his entire life as Spider-Man was an "illu-uuu-uuusion" brought on by the concussions he suffers in "Bullying By Numbers."

HA, pretty hilarous...

but in all seriousness, i loved the idea of the greek mythology with Arachne and Athena... they should have focused the show more on this (and less on the history of spiderman) and then ended it with this as well (the current ending tries to but doesnt exactly deliver very well).

I love the idea of it being an illusion....

why not just end it like every superhero movie ever..... with a hint that there will be a sequel

really it just seems like he needs to come to terms with something big and sing an 11 o'clock inspirational number as confetti flies all over the stage. confetti always makes for a climatic ending . lol.

This makes me think of those "choose your own adventure" books.

The cast breaks into the opening of 42nd Street in various Marvel superhero/villian costumes and the audience decides who they liked the best.

darquegk, are you one of the Spiderman producer in disguise?

Have you still not got a decent ending for Julie, so in desperation you go on message boards as a last ditch attempt?

You've been foiled!!!!!

1.Arachne snatches MJ from death when Spidey can't get there. She kisses MJ, and in a blaze of light, the two merge together. Arachne is human again and she and Peter fly off together.

2. Peter sees MJ still in danger. Arachne tells him to choose. He says "I swore I'd give my life for her" takes outo a gun and shoots himself.

3. Arachne whispers to Peter that the Goblin didn't die and came back and killed MJ. Peter runs around the stage yelling "Goblin! You killed her! Kill me! Kill me!" and he then sees MJ in the balcony just as the Goblin swings in and shoots Peter. MJ screams, runs, down, grabs the gun and points it at the Goblin saying "How do you use this thing? Is there enough for you... and you... and you? etc

4. Peter saves MJ and they smooch. Arachne screams and launches into "Arachne's Turn" where she laments that she did it all for Peter.

5. Peter saves MJ and Julie Taymor rushes in saying "That was the most spectacualr thing I've ever seen. I'd love to reproduce it on stage. What do you say?"

1. The real Spiderman is Ben Reilly and the Peter Parker we've followed the last two acts is a clone.

2. To save the show, Spiderman makes a deal with the devil so the audience forgets, thus ensuring repeat biz.

3. A loving homage to the Japanese Spiderman tv show from the 70s.

The final scene reveals it was all a drug-fueled hallucination of Harry Osborn's.

Arachne and MJ see each other, instantly fall in love, and while making out, ascend into the sky for an above-the-audience sapphic love-making.

Arachne and Spider-man kiss as a banner falls onto the stage reading "Just Kidding!, Refunds will be given in the lobby!"
