Discount Spiderman (Movie)

Discount Spiderman was the first introduction into the Discount Universe. It came out August 20th, 2017. Production began in early May of 2017.

### Director

Addison K

The film was about a sad and depressed kid who was bullied a lot during school. When he tried to kill himself by jumping out in front of a moving car, he became Discount Spiderman (mainly because budgets wouldn't allow regularly priced spiderman).

### **Story**

The movie opened with Discount Spiderman getting his powers and learning about them during the opening credits.

Next, Discount Spiderman needed someone to train him. He met up with a wise hobo in the local parking garage to learn about his newfound powers. The hobo tried to trick Discount Spiderman into killing himself as the hobo just wanted something to eat that night.

After Discount Spiderman surprisingly survived the fall, the Hobo decided to take on Discount Spiderman under his wing. The Hobo tasked Discount Spiderman with killing two notorious enemies, The Blue Ball and the Wizzward.

Little did Discount Spiderman know, Blue Ball and Wizzward were a part of a larger villainous organisation known as the Fun Fiendish Friends Forever League (FFFL). That group had a meeting discussing the deaths of the members. One of them, only known as "T", challenged the rest of the group by claiming that he could take on Discount Spiderman by himself.

T set out to silence Discount Spiderman at a local park. After a brief fight between the two, T went back to his base of operations to clean every single gun he owned. Not just the one's he used, but also the ones he hadn't even painted yet. Some of them, he even looked down the scope to make sure the scope was still there.

After his first fight, Discount Spiderman returned to the hobo and the two very closely dodged a bullet by nearly getting into a fight with a gang.

The two went to a local park so Peter could receive his very own superhero colonoscopy. While the hobo was doing his medical procedure in a nearby porta-potty, T was tracking the two down. The Hobo took a run for it to try to get to safety but ran into a dead end, which was where T shot him down in front of Discount Spiderman.

The death of his mentor sent Discount Spiderman into a horrible depression. For about 3 minutes, he gave up on the dream of being a superhero until he found a note the hobo had left him behind. This note inspired him and motivated him to go search for T and get his revenge. At that time, T was at the FFFL base bragging about his kill. He had believed that he got rid of Discount Spiderman for good by killing the hobo.

However, he was wrong as Discount Spiderman quickly snuck into the FFFL base to fight the remaining members. After proving his worth by defeating some of them, he left to continue his search for T.

Discount Spiderman next came across two stoner skaters in the park. They tried to help him become a better superhero than he already was by showing him how to skateboard. After the staking session, the two stoner skaters (Jerrold and High Guy #2) were confronted by T. He was interrogating them for information to find Discount Spiderman.

Eventually, T and Discount Spiderman met up for a third time. The chase between the two lead into the deep woods of Thingle City Forest. There, the two fight it out. In the end, Discount Spiderman gets a hold of one of T's guns and holds it at T's head.

After that extremely smart and very clever comeback, T pulls out a hidden gun from his jacket and shoots Discount Spiderman in the stomach, killing him. The film ends with T walking away from the corpse in the woods.

### **Deleted Scenes**

* There was additionally a third member that Discount Spiderman fought. His name was CC Man. He was a villain with superspeed. The deleted scene showed the fight between the two.
* There were several alternative/deleted scenes including the FFFL. One of which showed Schizo attacking Discount Spiderman outside of the base. This lead to another scene where Schizo and Earthquake devised their own plan to trick Discount Spiderman and capture him.
* Blue Ball also had an extended fight. This was scrapped since it had dialogue between Blue Ball and Discount Spiderman and there wasn't a fluent way to add it in the montage.
* After T first attacked Discount Spiderman on the hillside, there was a deleted scene that showed Discount Spiderman at his house, treating the gunshot wound **{This scene has since been lost}**
* Another deleted scene that took place in Discount Spiderman's house was when Schizo, Immorality, and Autism all broke in to attack.
* The shortest of deleted scenes came from the opening. It showed Discount Spiderman playing with Spiderman toys, making himself out to be the hero.
* There was a news report about the T/Discount Spiderman hillside fight which was meant to further explain who T was **{This scene has since been lost}**

### **Alternative Ideas**

* In the original script, there was a scene of the Hobo attacking and eating a squirrel. This scene was quickly scrapped since we didn't know how to find a squirrel.
* T was meant to have been deployed by a mafia. This idea faintly seeped through in the final cut of the film. Right after T cleans his guns, he answers a phone call claiming that he's got the next few targets. This was later retconned into Red being inside his head the whole time.
* On the idea that T was working for a mob boss, there was supposed to be a part where Discount Spiderman makes amends with the Wizzward. The Wizzward was to go out and kill the mob boss while Discount Spiderman fought T. The Wizzward would come to Discount Spiderman's aid but end up witnessing his death. This was scrapped due to filming conflicts and being unable to get actors together.
* There was another part planned on being shot where CC Man was at the meeting when T showed up, but the actor was unable to make it to the shoot.
* The Hobo was recasted 3 times during filming. The first actor wasn't very good and was too dark and grumpy to fit the role. The second actor was rushed and was already appearing later in the film.
* Originally, Schizo didn't have clones. He actually was talking to baby dolls the whole time. Hence the name, Schizo(frenia). But we didn't know how to properly shoot and film this idea without outright saying that other characters only saw baby dolls.
