Marko should've told Uncle Ben the money was for Penny's medicine


I think Ben would've let him go or at least offered to help. Same with Peter. His crimes were for an understandable reason.

Yet he unneccessarilly kills/severally injures those police officers when he was safely hidden in the sand. Also Raimi was wrong for making Flint Marko Uncle Ben's killer. It makes it so that even if Peter stopped the robber inside, his uncle still gets killed. I hate this movie!

Marko shot Ben only after the other robber showed up with the cash and shouted at him, it also looked like an accident, if Peter stopped him there wouldn't be any cash or a reason to take the car. Peter is still indirectly responsible for his death even with this plot change.

The only scenario I see is where Peter comes out, sees Flint Marko holding a gun to his uncle, yells at him to get away from his Uncle , Flint Marko gets startled, and still shoots his Uncle. Frankly even besides that I hate that Raimi made Sand Man Uncle Ben's killer. It was stupid.

It could've happened that way, i agree he didn't need to be the killer though, if it was even Raimi's idea, it could've also been Sony fucking around with the script.
