Before Mark Webb (500 Days of Summer. Ugh.) signed on to direct Sony's reboot of the Spiderman franchise, Wes Anderson's name was briefly bandied about as a potential director. Though either selection seems to me like a cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of faux-indie deadpan twee, at least Anderson's the genuine article when it comes to faux-indie deadpan twee, and not, well, a hackish Anderson impersonator.

So, yeah, not really looking forward to the reboot. 

Still, this "What If?" scenario concocted by a group of Spiderman/Wes Anderson fans made me grin. They make all the jokes you'd expect them to, but damn if they aren't well-executed.
