The Amazing Spider-Man Set Pictures, Videos and News Thread - Part 10

[Spider-ManHero12]

It just doesn't make sense. It's just a dumb error. I'm willing to bet that 75% of normal citizens would step in and stop a situation like that, not to mention that scene took place in broad daylight. It was just a bad way to convey his new take on life. It made him look stupid and it made him look like an ass, of which he is neither. Bad directing and bad writing.

PS-You can't really use orchestration as a means to argue a point. Music is overlaid after the fact. If they had done what I said originally, than Elfman would have altered his composition to fit the scene... Oh that's BS. You do realize the more people would rather watch than help, right? I've seen videos of a skateboarder beating somebody's head in with it and all people are doing is watching. Why? Because they don't want to put themselves in harm way. They're too afraid to step in and help. It does NOT make him look like an ass at all and the fact that he actually stopped and look proved he was feeling guilty. Anybody ever have OCD? It's an obsessive compulsion to do something constantly and do it right or else you'll have a ton of anxiety/guilt and is very stressful. I think that's what happened to Peter.

[Eggyman]

F*** me. The same old sh**, bickering about films I already have on my shelf. They need to release something fast to save me from this monotonous bullsh**.

Edit. To save time in future, can you all just post what you really think, like this:

RandomJoe: I hate the old films.

RandomJoe11349: I, IMO, think they're great, IMO.

RandomJoe: I don't.

RandomJoe11349: Like I said, IMO, I think they're superduper, IMO.

I think this is the single greatest thing I have ever read.

Ya know, aside from every one of my posts.

[Mary Jane Watson]

No trailer...no poster? *sigh*

Only 3 weeks left until comic con... am I right?

[Mary Jane Watson]

or less than that.

[socool]

or less than that.

3 weeks. Captain America is in 2 and a half.

[Troy_Parker]

Edit: xD

[TheWallCrawler]

3 weeks. Captain America is in 2 and a half.

Comic Con starts on 21st day, and Captain America release is 22 day. How did you count that 3 weeks to comic con?

[socool]

:huh: I thought that Comic Con was AFTER Cap...?

Wow. Serves me right for not looking stuff up. :doh:

[chaseter]

Are you from NYC? ... I am, born and raised here, and I feel like you're generalizing your ass off.

That scene in SM2 was ridiculous, and in effect, hilarious.

Have you been mugged and someone else stopped it or you have seen one taking place and you stopped it? Do you wander around alone in the alleys of NYC at night because it's so safe?

[Mary Jane Watson]

I am so stoked for this! :woot:

Your first run on sentence makes me question you intelligence. Still a sarcastic pessimist I see...

Yeah! Shame on them. Don't they know? They can't have a discussion on these discussion boards!

Expressing yourself, communicating your thoughts and debating in an intelligent way is for LOSERS! No duh!


:doh::doh::doh:

[Vid Electricz]

This is where Peter is troubled. And where he's naive enough to think that he's not Spider-Man anymore, so that means he doesn't have to save people. That's Spider-Man's job. In a way, him losing his powers is an excuse not to be Spider-Man anymore. That is the way out he's always wanted, even when he didn't expect this to happen. That is a flaw in Peter and what he thinks. And he makes up for it with the burning building scene when he saves the child as Peter. Hence his opening his shirt still thinking he's wearing the Spider-Man costume. It's a habit but it's a sign saying that he can still be a hero as Peter. That's the mistake he made earlier with the kid in the alley. It's symbolism of him literally walking away from the responsibility Uncle Ben told him about. He does the exact opposite in the burning building scene. That responsibility that Uncle Ben mentions just doesn't mean being Spider-Man, but being Peter as well. As a man. It tells him he can still be a hero and has those responsibilities even without the costume. It's a step closer to his realization he will always be Spider-Man.


BTW, very well said. That's exactly what any intelligent audience member would take away from those scenes.

[Spider-ManHero12]

LOL! He explained it perfectly and succinctly and you still don't get it. That's why this place is a laugh. Agreed.

[Spider-Fan]

Are you guys going to force me to read through this thread and hand out punishments? Because if the bickering continues, that is what I'm going to do!

[Spider-Fan]

Eggyman, you speak sense. I agree with you.

So I will say this once:

KNOCK OFF THE DISCUSSION OF THE OLD FILMS AND THE BICKERING!!! WE HAVE A SUBFORUM FOR THAT!!! GO THERE!!!! THIS IS A REBOOT FORUM!!! DISCUSS THE FRIGGIN REBOOT!!!

If this non-stop bickering continues, I am dishing out punishments. It is obivious to me you guys can't discuss the old films here in peace. It is evident time and time again. So, stop it or go to the subforum for it!!!

[Mary Jane Watson]

^ Ouch...:dry:

Do what he says.

JUST DO IT!

:oldrazz:

So back to this. Who is going to SDCC?

[Spiderman6592]

You are incorrect. In fact, when women are getting raped they are told to yell 'bomb' or 'fire' and not 'help' because no one will react to 'HELP' but they react to 'FIRE' or 'BOMB'. Do you know why? It's because we are so absorbed in our own lives that most people won't react to the word 'help' but they will react to 'fire' or 'bomb' because it affects their own personal safety. Most people don't want to get hurt trying to save another person's life so they don't risk it. That is why heroes are so well regarded and applauded when one actually steps forward, because they are so rare in our society.

lol. That's not fact at all. If people here "bomb" or "fire", they run. Why would anyone hear the word "bomb" and be like, "Oh I guess I better go TOWARD the alleged bomb or fire!"?

[socool]

lol. That's not fact at all. If people here "bomb" or "fire", they run. Why would anyone hear the word "bomb" and be like, "Oh I guess I better go TOWARD the alleged bomb or fire!"?

That is fact. It's not said to get civilians to help them directly, its said so that civilians get an officer to help. Because you're right, no one will run toward a bomb or fire, they will run for help.

[Spiderman6592]

It's not fact actually. Women are told to yell "rape" when they get raped as are people supposed to yell "help! I'm being mugged" when they get mugged.

But that is besides the point. My point is that it's stupid that Peter would simply walk away from some kid being mugged in broad daylight. The same message could have been conveyed if he had run off to get help. Instead he just calmly walks away. It's just stupid. I get what they were trying to do, but that doesn't make it any better.

[chaseter]

lol. That's not fact at all. If people here "bomb" or "fire", they run. Why would anyone hear the word "bomb" and be like, "Oh I guess I better go TOWARD the alleged bomb or fire!"?

Idk why...people are crazy. I think it's because more people take notice to the word fire or a bomb than someone just yelling help because that person yelling help has no affect on anybody walking by. If someone yells fire then more people take notice because a fire would directly affect their life. It's because the word help is so desensitized in our society that it's lost it's urgent meaning over time.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_do_you_yell_when_you_are_getting_raped

There was a study done a long time ago, I can't remember the exact name, but the larger the crowd is, the less likely the chance that someone will step up and help. I think it's called the mob mentality.

[socool]

Wow, all right. So yeah, you must definitely not be from New York. I've grown up here, and in these last 22 years, yes I've interfered and actually stopped fights, and have seen people interfering with dozens of altercations like that.

And NY is a safe place, if you're not stupid. I've been out all hours of the night, with the COUNTLESS other people doing the same thing.

And there are barely any "alleys" like that. Stop getting your information from movies, especially Spider-Man 2, which wasn't even entirely filmed in NY.

Respond, don't just attack back.

:funny:

I'm in NYC right now, have been for 18 years. You have to be the first person I have ever heard intervene in a mugging or fight.

And the bolded part is irrelevant. What does the location have to do with effecting the realism of the subject of the scene?

OK, I'm done. Just needed to say that.

[chaseter]

It's like that in any big cities. Houston, Detroit, NYC, Las Vegas, New Orleans, etc. Look at a place like NYC where hundreds of people walk by without noticing anything. If people consciously tried to stop crimes do you know what the crime rate would be?

And I like how you said NYC is a safe place if you aren't stupid. So you need to know certain things to do and not to do in NYC to be safe? It should be safe if the streets are lined with vigilantes.

If you don't believe me, look up the experiments on the mob mentality. It's the way we are programmed by biology. It's the reason how tons of people walk by crimes or how unruly mobs form. We act in unison. It's why you rarely see 50 people running towards a gunman. What do you normally see? You normally see tons of people cowering in fear or running and one or two brave individuals that show heroism.

[Spider-Fan]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Spider-Man reboot...As interesting as the topic of mugging is, I like THAT REBOOT topic more...just saying :o

[MikeFrost]

There was a study done a long time ago, I can't remember the exact name, but the larger the crowd is, the less likely the chance that someone will step up and help. I think it's called the mob mentality.

It's called bystander effect. The more people are present in a public space, the less likely any of them will help.

This is because we feel less guilty if there are more people around that could probably help out anyone in our place.

In regards to the shout "Fire" instead of "help" thingy, it is true. Not because the word "help" has lost it's meaning, it's because help is too broad and undefined for one to decide to risk investigating. When you don't know what kind of danger is there, the less likely you are to help out.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Not much to talk about. :dry:
Soon, though, I hope.

Andrew Garfield is the man, tbh You should do what he says.

[PSYLENTGuardian]

So how 'bout that Amazing Spider-Man?!

So back to this. Who is going to SDCC?
I know two friends who are going. I demanded them to bring me back some good information. :ninja:

^^ Same here, lol. I'm the one with the "IMO's" every where. :woot:

Everyone's entitled to opinion. Discussions like these keep the forum interesting in down times, IMO.

[Mace Bloodstone]

Just wanted to say...

I've been watching the (500) Days of Summer extras. I always had a strong faith in Webb, but now I'm almost shocked at how awesome he is. I have no doubt that he directed the **** outta Spider-Man. Great to see a relative young, fresh, and proven director get a huge chance like this. My excitement is beyond bubbling.

nice to see a positive post :up:

[LegendaryCaleb]

the suit is actually the bomb.....


....for real...i love the suit...

[Gamma Goliath]

While I do like this suit. I can't help but feel it will evolve in sequels .

I like reading that BUT i will never be 100% convinced until after seeing this movie myself.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I hate the suit...it's like a bad version of the Reilly suit :csad: Raimi's version is definitely better, as I said, but I do like the new suit. Hopefully, the story will make me overlook the suit (even though it's not bad). I have high hopes that it will, but there's no telling just yet. That's one of the reasons I want a trailer!

[Spider-Boy]

Simplicity goes a long way. http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/080609_spiderman.jpg

You can't tell me that isn't in the top 5 best looking Spider-Men... It's beautiful really. And the back spider follows the simplistic design. http://www.spidermancrawlspace.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/spiderslayer.jpg

When I hear Spider-Man's voice, it's still hear Christopher Daniel Barnes.

http://www.spidermancrawlspace.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/notl.jpg

I want to see this scene with the labcoat wanting to chase Connors :)

Yeah, I'll admit, I'd like to see this too. As ridiculous as it might be for Peter to change in front of Debra.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, I'll admit, I'd like to see this too. As ridiculous as it might be for Peter to change in front of Debra. Lol, well he didn't actually change in front of her. Though, he attempted, which I guess is equally as odd. :woot:

[Spider-Fan]

I'm not going to name any names, but provoking other posters....goes against my notice about bickering on the previous page...just saying, so no one ELSE gets in trouble.

[webhead9707]

While I do like this suit. I can't help but feel it will evolve in sequels .

I think so too.

[Troy_Parker]

I actually hope not. I'm cool with Batman's suit evolving, but not Spider-Man's.... why would it need to?

Because some people can't accept this suit. It simply has to evolve in to the good old classic one. :awesome:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Because the classic is the best and always will be. I like the suit, but nothing beats the classic, as I said.

[Pac-Master]

There's a lot of cool new news for this movie currently, isn't there? /sarcasm

[Spider-ManHero12]

Lol, SDCC is right around the corner. Prepare for the storm of Spidey!

[Troy_Parker]

Do you guys think there'll be a scene similar to the one in Spider-Man when he's drawing possiblities for his suit?

It'd be cool if he drew one with armpit webbing (the more classic style) and decided to cross it out. :P

[Spidey_62]

Lol, SDCC is right around the corner. Prepare for the storm of Spidey!
There's nothing to talk about right now, but we're going to be overwhelmed in a few weeks lol.

[Pac-Master]

Hopefully. This month will be a month to remember with the Avengers trailer and possible TDKR and ASM trailers.

[Spider-ManHero12]

There's nothing to talk about right now, but we're going to be overwhelmed in a few weeks lol. Yeah, lol. Then we also have an upcoming Avengers trailer, as Pac-Master said.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Hopefully. This month will be a month to remember with the Avengers trailer and possible TDKR and ASM trailers.

Definitely... I'm really hoping for the first shot of Superman too.

[RedIsNotBlue]

The Avengers is supposed to have a trailer out this month??? That seems insanely early. I think TDKR and ASM previews are a safe bet for this month.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Avengers is definite according to RIM. And Avengers will have an impact on Comic-Con.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Hmmm interesting. I just always personally thought with the schedule The Avengers is on I was thinking we wouldn't see anything a trailer until August at the earliest. If it is this month... awesome.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ With the fact that we got footage of Cap last year at Comic-Con when they were only a week into filming, anything is possible.

[thejon93]

^^ With the fact that we got footage of Cap last year at Comic-Con when they were only a week into filming, anything is possible.
'Avengers' has been filming for quite some time, actually, so there is definitely a very strong chance at getting a trailer 'Captain America' since that would be the obvious (and smartest) goal. If the trailer was with anything else, that would be a big fail on Marvel's part.

It's like not placing a 'Dark Knight Rises' teaser before 'HP7 - Pt. 2'. :whatever:

[webhead9707]

I actually hope not. I'm cool with Batman's suit evolving, but not Spider-Man's.... why would it need to?

It get's damaged by the lizard in this one, a lot? maybe.. it would make sense, kinda.

[RedIsNotBlue]

^^ With the fact that we got footage of Cap last year at Comic-Con when they were only a week into filming, anything is possible.

Well that is a different thing. Showing rough footage for fans at a convention I am sure could be done right now. I am talking about an official trailer for the general public but if it is going to be attached with anything this month it is no doubt gonna be with Cap so we shall see.

[Matt Mortem]

I'm ok with waiting on a trailer. I'd rather them focus on a great film rather than early promotion. This winter would be a good time to see one I guess

[Spider-Vader]

Man, I can't wait for the trailer. The money shot of Lizard better not disappoint!

[Matt Mortem]

Man, I can't wait for the trailer. The money shot of Lizard better not disappoint!

I think they'll hold off on the Lizard reveal for awhile

[Spider-Vader]

Why? One big shot of Lizard would get the hype train going at full speed. It's not like Venom, where they had other villains to focus on while they keep him a secret.

[Venom'sDad]

I think they'll hold off on the Lizard reveal for awhile
Exactly

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Can't wait for the trailer at Comic Con(You know they'll show one) and hopefully someone records it and puts it online.

[Ajendo]

Man, I can't wait for the trailer. The money shot of Lizard better not disappoint!

They better not have him looking like some Jurassic Park reptilian reject.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think they'll hold off on the Lizard reveal for awhile I don't really thhink that'll happen, but that's just me.

[Scarlettess]

Sooo no more news then? aww dang. Oh well I'm still hoping its gonna be with Cap. Or if our theatres have the trailer already then yeah it could be with Harry Potter, TDK will be attached to it, but the theatre would release it with that movie. Makes sense to me.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I wish we would at least get a teaser poster or something this week.

[Doctor Jones]

I'd love a teaser poster. I'm interested to see what it will look like. Hopefully it doesn't copy too much of the Raimi ones. Those were perfect teaser trailer, because you only needed to show a little bit of Spider-Man or just him and it was great.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they can come come up with. Hopefully it's its own thing but makes sense and is creative enough to look pleasing to the eye.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'd say it'll probably have something to do with Spidey and possibly the Lizard. Mainly for the teaser poster.

[Pac-Master]

They could at least give us some sort of hint. This is ridiculous.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. I wish they'd relase anything. Hell, a new interview or something.

[Troy_Parker]

Again...

They're going to reveal The Lizard, they have to. With Spider-Man 3 they held off on the Venom stuff because they had Sandman and Skater-Boy.

With this... (as far as we know) it's just The Lizard. A carefully lit shot of The Lizard would be the ultimate tease.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I know, I'm just saying that for the teaser psoter there will probably not be much for it. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the Lizard will be shown in the trailer.

[Nathan]

I think even just the shadow of the Lizard in the sewers would be nice.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Dear Sony,

We are not that stupid. We already know that Lizard is coming to the silver screen.

Just give us the damn picture or something.

Thank-you very much.

Sincerely,

Spidey-fans.






Btw, yeah, the shadow of the Lizard is pretty sweet too. :cwink:

[Troy_Parker]

I hope Venom gets another chance in the future, I doubt it though.

I actually think they might do that again, but I'd rather have the symbiote introduced in one movie, and Venom in the next.

I think with any Spider-Man movie/cartoon, the symbiote storyline and Green Goblin always have to be (eventually) included.

[Pac-Master]

I don't want Venom again.

[A Necessary Evil]

No, doc ock has to be on screen. Goblin has to.



Venom sucks. No venom.

[Mary Jane Watson]

I don't want Venom again.

No, doc ock has to be on screen. Goblin has to.



Venom sucks. No venom.

Come on, guys, only if Vemon done right.

[Troy_Parker]

Why is there so much Venom hate on here. O.o

He's one of Spidey's coolest enemies, he's basically an anti Spider-Man... he must be popular somewhere if he keeps showing up in the comics and whatnot.

[Pac-Master]

It's not that I hate Venom, it's just that we've been there, we've done that. Maybe the next trilogy, but not in these three films.

[A Necessary Evil]

Venom is one of the weakest spider-man villains out there. His motivations for hating spider-man suck. He's such a weak character.


I applaud raimi for making those changes in SM3.

[Troy_Parker]

It's not that I hate Venom, it's just that we've been there, we've done that. Maybe the next trilogy, but not in these three films.

I'm assuming you feel the same about using the Green Goblin too, right?


Kidding, but seriously... if they do him properly, I think it could be one of the best portrayals of a comic book villain on the big screen.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Well, I think that next 5 years would be a good idea to use Vemon again.

Oh, and you can't say "he looks cool". Go ahead. I'll wait.:awesome:

His motivations for hating Spider-Man suck? l0l

I think it's quite cool. Person number 1 feels as though his life has been ruined by Person number 2... funnily enough, there's this alien lifeform that has been rejected by Person number 2. The alien finds Person number 1, and bonds with him... and finds out his greatest secrets. xD

I liked Venom in SM3 but he was very watered down. If they do him, they should keep him exactly how he is in the comics.

I think it's quite cool. Person number 1 feels as though his life has been ruined by Person number 2... funnily enough, there's this alien lifeform that has been rejected by Person number 2. The alien finds Person number 1, and bonds with him... and finds out his greatest secrets. xD

I liked Venom in SM3 but he was very watered down. If they do him, they should keep him exactly how he is in the comics.

l0l?

You exposed my fake news story...and got me fired...I hate you. :dry:

[Troy_Parker]

You can :dry: me all you want. Give me one good reason why the comic book venom is a good character.

Oh, and you can't say "he looks cool". Go ahead. I'll wait.:awesome:

Well why do you think he's a weak character? He obviously has something going for him if he's present in almost every incarnation of Spider-Man. lol.

[Troy_Parker]

Nice. :up:

Know why he's all over the place?

Nobody knows what the hell to do with that pos character. Didn't they kill carnage? I wouldn't know i never pick up comics anymore.

[A Necessary Evil]

Yes, l0l. :woot:

Only, there's a personal connection to peter - eddie is delusional, thinks peter stole his "girlfriend", and he's obviously a jerkoff. Spider-Man is a complete and total stranger to brock in the comics.

Don't get me wrong, movie venom isn't much better than the comics. But I'll take that over that crap anyday.:woot:

There has been a lot of Venom overkill though, I agree.

[AbsractPo3tic]

I just read on a site that the Comic-Con schedule for Friday will be released tomorrow and Saturday will be released on Saturday, so everyone will find out what day the day Spidey panel will be, very, very shortly.

[Pac-Master]

I'm assuming you feel the same about using the Green Goblin too, right?


Kidding, but seriously... if they do him properly, I think it could be one of the best portrayals of a comic book villain on the big screen.
That's actually a pretty good point. I would be interested to see Goblin again, but maybe coupled with a new villain we haven't seen, and to adapt the death of Gwen Stacy storyline (if they decide to go with that). The thing is, with Venom, there's a lot of baggage that comes with him. Peter gets the black suit again, people turn against him again, Venom appears again. We've all seen that. It would be kinda weird to see it again so soon (especially if they introduce the symbiote in ASM2, where it would only have one movie apart from when it first appeared in a movie).

That's the bit I think is fascinating about him. He's essentially this crazy ass version of Spider-Man.

If they are going with the Ultimate route for certain things (which it seems they are) I wouldn't mind having Peter and Eddie being friends since childhood, it'd certainly be deeper than "You cost me my job and my girlfriend... I hate you".

[A Necessary Evil]

But the thing is - sans ultimate - ....there is no connection to spider-man or peter in the comics. l:<

I agree completely. Which is why I'm hoping they introduce the symbiote in the 3rd movie and Venom in the 4th. I never really felt as though they nailed the effect that the symbiote was having on Peter. The way they did that in TSSM is how I'd love to see it on screen.

Possibly finish the 3rd movie with Spider-Man entering the church.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Vemon topic in here = :whatever:

True.

But after losing his job, wife... basically his entire life, if the symbiote bonded with him and showed him who it felt was responsible for those things, then he would have a genuine reason for hating him and setting out to destroy Peter's life.

Have you seen that episode of TSSM where Venom goes in to The Daily Bugle to reveal Spider-Man's identity? Something like that in a movie would be epic.

[A Necessary Evil]

...Isn't that from TAS?


Also, no, I've not seen to much TSSM.

You are wrong.

In 616, Eddie hates Spider-Man because he proved Brock's story about the Sin Eater to be fake. Eddie made it up for the fame and money and the truth caused him to get fired. Because of this he was unable to find another job and fell into poverty. Him and Peter were professional rivals, each one competing for the Sin Eater story at the Bugle, nothing personal.

I dunno what comics you were reading, but his hate for Spidey is pretty good. Not the best, but good enough to warrant him one of my top 5 villains.

Besides, that just proves my theory all over again. Eddie hates spider-man cause Pete foiled his attempt to fame and money, though eddie was i the wrong to begin with.

l0l?

You exposed my fake news story...and got me fired...I hate you. :dry:

Do you know how serious of an offense that is in journalism in real life? If you ever faked a story in a largely followed newspaper (ESPECIALLY in NYC) in the real world as a journalist you'd be out of a job for good. I'd be pretty angry too. So no, his motivations for hating Peter/Spidey are pretty legitimate. And if that's your argument for hating a villain, you must hate the Green Goblin seeing as the only reasons GG hates Spider-Man is the fact that he's a hero...

[A Necessary Evil]

Well then maybe you shouldn't be faking your news stories ;-)

Don't fake a news story because you'll turn in to an evil alien creature out for blood.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well why do you think he's a weak character? He obviously has something going for him if he's present in almost every incarnation of Spider-Man. lol. He's an awesome character, but overrated. The main reason average people want him is because he looks cool.

Green Goblin is a more interesting Villain as well as Doc Ock. Don't get me wrong, Venom is one of my favorites, but there's not much to him. I mean, his reasons ofr hating Spdiey are NOT weak, if you ask me. He's a great character, but there's not much he could unless they add more to him like Raimi did.

[Mary Jane Watson]

^ Also Eddie's relationship with the symbiote is pretty cool too.

[socool]

Ugh, you're right. It was The Globe. :doh: Man, that was a dumb mistake.

Well, it's still better than SM3's interpretation.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^ Also Eddie's relationship with the symbiote is pretty cool too. Indeed, but like I said, he's not the most interesting.

Personally, I think the Green Goblin is (without a doubt) the most itneresting SPider-Man Villain with Doc Ock coming in at a close second. Goblin started off wanting to be the biggest gangster in nYC, but Spider-Man kept thwarting his crimes, which led to one of the greatest rivals in comic book history. The Green Goblin thwarted Spider-Man's Spidey senses, found out who he was, AND he killed Gwen Stacy. Then, after norman dies, the Goblin legacy still lives on in Harry and so on and so forth.

Liek I said, I love Venom, but his story isn't the strongest.

[Troy_Parker]

I know this wouldn't be completely true to the comics but, how would you guys feel if Peter has the symbiote suit when the Goblin kills Gwen? His rage could even take him to the point where he's about to kill him right there but when he realizes what he's about to do... and become, he leaves, to get rid of the symbiote.

Ehhh...it would be a hit or a miss, if you ask me. I don't really see it going that way at all, but I really can't comment on how I would feel, lol. Part of me really feels as though it wouldn't be that great of an idea, but as I said, only time would tell.

I thought it'd be a great way for Peter to realize what he's capable of doing if he doesn't hold back. But I doubt this whole thing would even happen, lol.

And it's not just Harry. His psychiatrist as well. Harry dressed as the Goblin's while taking on Bart Hamilton who was also dressed as the Goblin, if I remember correctly. And then it expanded on from there to Phil Urich, etc. The Goblin's legacy is strong.

[The Joker]

Well why do you think he's a weak character? He obviously has something going for him if he's present in almost every incarnation of Spider-Man. lol.

Why is Venom weak? Oh let me count the ways...

1. For starters his reasons for hating Spider-Man are piss weak. Eddie Brock and Spidey never even met. All Spider-Man did was catch the serial killer, Sin Eater. Brock blamed Spider-Man for ruining his career because Brock was dumb enough to write a false story on Sin Eater being someone else. So because Spidey caught the real killer, the idiocy that is Eddie Brock decided it was Spider-Man's fault that he lost his career. WORST MOTIVE EVER!

2. What has Venom ever done to hurt Spidey? I mean he's got all of Spidey's powers right? He knows his secret identity right? So lets list Venom's accomplishments as an enemy against Spidey.......*Cricket chirps*........oh wait I think he scared MJ once. He also likes to do a lot of stalking. Be still my heart. This is just too bad ass for words.

3. He's gone through more re-writes than you've had hot dinners. Marvel don't know what to do with him because he's a one note character. After the whole stalking Spidey routine got boring, they turned him anti-hero. Then they have him cancer. Then they gave the symbiote to The Scorpion. Then they made Brock Anti-Venom. Now FLASH THOMPSON is Venom. Are you ears sore yet from all that bottom of the barrel scraping?

Sam Raimi got it right when he researched Venom:

I had never read Venom in the comic books, since they came after my time. Because of that, I didn't have a natural inclination toward him. And when I read those comics, at [producer] Avi Arad's urging, I didn't understand where Venom's humanity was. I know that kids think he looks cool, and they think he's a good villain for Spider-Man. I actually didn't. What was it about Peter's own makeup that this villain represented some weaker or darker side to? Just looking like a dark version of him is not enough for me. The more I read [Venom stories], the less interested I became.

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20037557,00.html

That's all Venom is. A cool looking character with flashy powers. He has nothing else going for him. Raimi at least made a real connection between Brock and Peter. Gave Brock actual reasons to hate Spider-Man.

Aside from the Green Goblin, and maybe Hobgoblin, Venom is definitely the most well known villain to go up against Spidey... at least for the general audiences.

How do general audiences know about Hobgoblin? He has not been seen on screen since the 90's cartoon. Gobby, Ock and Venom are the ones that are well known.

Especially Gobby and Ock as they were the solo villains in the two most popular entries of the franchise. They even used Doc Ock in commercials: B6ncn1YVroc

Oh **** it. I honestly cannot be asked repeating myself over and over. -___-

You think Venom sucks, fine. :up:

Everybody keeps jumping to his 616 origin, what if they go with the Ultimate route?

Nvm, I'm guessing you think that's weak too, right? ;]

[AbsractPo3tic]

I think John Semper (animated spider man show) and Greg Weisman's crew on Spec Spidey, and Bendis now that I'm thinking about it, did the best job at fleshing Eddie/Venom out and giving him a great connection to Pete. Semper's take is generally one that is seen as Gospel to my generation and it works best when Peter and Eddie know each other, either through working together or being high school friends...Weisman showed that the best, making the symbiote and Eddie both have an intense hatred for Peter at the time and teaming up to get rid of him. In the comics now, they don't have that same ability to go back and change the history of Eddie and Pete without undoing so much continuity (well let's be honest, they could, they just aren't) but Venom, if done properly, can be a great character, along with Eddie Brock...those three writers understood that and ran with it.

[The Joker]

Mistah Joker, I think I like you.:hrt:

You'll make Harley jealous with that kind of talk :oldrazz:

Remind me what was his motive in Ultimate? It's been so long since I've read Ultimate.

[A Necessary Evil]

I can deal with HQ :o
He got jealous cause peter had the symbiote or something...I don't remember at all lol

[socool]

Remind me what was his motive in Ultimate? It's been so long since I've read Ultimate.

He wanted to keep the Venom suit that Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr. worked on as a cure for cancer together. Peter tries to experiment with the only remaining sample which belongs to both Eddie and himself. It gets on his skin, he gets the symbiote suit, he's all happy. Suddenly, he loses control and almost EATS a burglar (because the suit needs to eat) Peter gets rid of it and goes to destroy the rest of the sample. Eddie stops him in the lab, and berates him for getting rid of the only thing he has left of his father. Peter tells him what the suit is capable of and destroys it. Eddie watches as peter leaves the lab and then takes the hidden vile in a different safe for himself.

So it's more personal. But he attacks Peter because the suit wants to kill Peter, he doesn't.

[MikeFrost]

TBH the Ultimate motivation is just as thin.

If anything, use the 90s TAS one mixed with what Spectacular Spiderman did with the character.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Like I said, I love Venom but there's no doubt that his story is not as in depth as Ock or the Green Goblin's.

[Matt Mortem]

I'm a big Venom fan, but I do have to admit he's not the strongest character. He's a whole lot of flash and not a lot of substance

[Venom'sDad]

Ultimate is definitely weak...I would certainly stay away from that. I don't mind them borrowing some idea from the SSM cartoon....very good use of characters and development, and interesting stories that actually make sense.

And if they ever use Venom again... I can't say it enough; they must re-invent the character. Get away from ALL incarnations of the character, be it Comics, Cartoon(including SSM), and Film.

[Excelsior.]

Like I said, I love Venom but there's no doubt that his story is not as in depth as Ock or the Green Goblin's.
Doc Ock had no depth until Raimi gave him depth. The story of Eddie Brock has plenty of depth.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I, for one, loved what Raimi did with the character. He kept elements from 616 and ultimate while doing his own spin on it.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Doc Ock had no depth until Raimi gave him depth. The story of Eddie Brock has plenty of depth. Ummm, well, apparently you haven't read alot of Spider-Man comics. Read Doc Ock Year One and get back to me.

[AbsractPo3tic]

TBH the Ultimate motivation is just as thin.

If anything, use the 90s TAS one mixed with what Spectacular Spiderman did with the character.

that's the best way to go

[Venom'sDad]

Only one that had real depth was Green Goblin and in some cases Kraven and Kingpin. Many others had some minor depth to them(catagory that DocOck is in); and yet, many more had none at all(Swarm).

Or just completely re-write his back story and write some actual depth and substance to the character. Make him have a hatred of Spider-Man that actually stems from something beyond idiotic delusions.

Doc Ock had no depth until Raimi gave him depth. The story of Eddie Brock has plenty of depth.

Wow, two totally incorrect statements in one post. Incredible :cwink:

My favorite thing about Octavius is that he is essentially the Peter Parker gone bad.


http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e345/DoctorOck/GeekPeter1.jpg

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e345/DoctorOck/OttoGeek1.jpg


Both were born and raised in middle class New York. Both were bullied in school, had no friends, were unpopular with girls, were science nerds, wore big round glasses, both lost a parent when they were young. Both acquired their powers through their love of science. But where Peter ultimately used his powers responsibly, Octavius went to the other extreme. They are each essentially a product of their upbringing. Peter was instilled with good moral values by May and Ben. Octavius' parents went to the other extreme. Ock's dad was verbally abusive, and always told him he was weak and that a man is measured by his strength and power. His mother went to the other extreme and told him he was a genius and better than everyone else. It made for a bad combination.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Joker, I think it's safe to assume a few people don't really know Spider-Man comics 110%. Either that or they just forgot.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Only one that had real depth was Green Goblin and in some cases Kraven and Kingpin. Many others had some minor depth to them(catagory that DocOck is in); and yet, many more had none at all(Swarm).Even though me and Joker have shared our examples of stories that do tell Ock's past, care to share why you feel this way about Ock?

[The Joker]

In fact I'd like to hear how the likes of Sandman, The Lizard, Vulture etc are lacking in depth, too.

Now FLASH THOMPSON is Venom. Are you ears sore yet from all that bottom of the barrel scraping?

I think Remender's take on Venom is actually quite interesting.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Here's a great page from Year One and one of my favorites. Now, keep in mind, Spider-Man Unlimited issue 3 seems like it's in more continuity while Year One sort of feels like its own thing. However, it's still a good telling of his backstory.

I think Remender's take on Venom is actually quite interesting. You mean the current Venom stories? I love it! I really do love it and it's different but in a really good way. I loved Brock as Venom, but I feel as though this was the way to go.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I flipped through an issue the other day... and apparently Flash Thompson's Venom is a commando that looks more like Snake Eyes than Venom.

[Pac-Master]

I really need to check out Doc Ock: Year One. I've been wanting to for a while now.

But that change is good and as I've said, change is good with some things. Brock is Anti-Venom now, so the fact that Flash is Venom adds a great element, if you ask me.

His fight with Kraven kicked ass.

Flash Thompson having the Venom suit may be a bit of a random decision but Flash's emotional conflicts with the suit and his situation with Betty is very well handled and fleshed out.

Teenage Octavius who lost a father. Remind you of anyone? Except unlike Peter with Uncle Ben, Otto is glad to see the back of his father. One of my favorites as well, Joker. Especially the last line from Otto. This, if you ask me, is what formed him. This is where Ock took a left turn while Peter took a right. This, IMO, is one of the most interesting Ock stories and I suggest it to anybody who hasn't read it.

We should get back on topic now though. Spider-Fan warned people of bickering in here yesterday, so we really should do what he says.

You are acting like you HAVE to post in this thread daily. People should take their conversations to the appropriate threads if there is nothing to post about concerning the topic then just don't post in it...pretty simple. I am done trying to get this thread back on topic though I have tried once already. I just know if I was a mod I woulda cracked down on this thread a long time ago. That is the last I will say about it here.

Nope, not acting like that at all. And that's exactly what I do, I do go and read other conversations and topics in other sections. All I'm saying is that it would be nice to have some news, which should be coming soon anyways. And this is the last I'll say about it too. I don't wanna make the mods angry. :cwink:

Agreed! I can't wait till we get to see the costume in action which shouldn't be that long off now!

Who are they having to compose this movie? or are they gonna use contemporary songs like alot of movies nowadays? i for one would love to have a new composer come on the scene! :awesome:

[Spider-ManHero12]

I have no idea who is going to ocmpsoe this film, but I feel as though it's going to be REALLY hard to top Elfman's score, lol. He did such a great job, if you ask me. :up:

[AbsractPo3tic]

The composer of the film will always be in line with the tone of the film and once the tone becomes more than just speculation, it'll be easier to guess who's going to compose it. I'd love for it to be someone new rather than the established guys who normally do these type of flicks. If I'm right about the tone, I'd love to see Trent Reznor do it..I actually loved what he did with the social network and think he'd be good but that's me..And I think he's busy with the girl with the dragon tattoo. I wasn't a huge fan of what Elfman did, but he was perfect for the tone of the films and did his thing...just not the type of composition I prefer, and the new guy needs to do the same thing..just be perfect for the movie

[Spider-ManHero12]

One thing I love about what Elfman did was how his theme for Peter and Spider-Man were sort of different. Making it seem as though they were 2 different characters. So I'm really curious as to what the composer (whoever that is) will do in terms of the theme.

[AbsractPo3tic]

Yeah, I think any good composer will pick up on that and use different ways to insinuate the two different characters

[AbsractPo3tic]

This is something I'm REALLY excited for. Maybe they'll drop some news. Trent Reznor would be cool, and his harsh, sharp kind of tone might fit this darker movie pretty well.

Then there's Michael Giacchino, who creates a hell of a theme for basically whatever he does.

And Mychael Danna, who did the score for (500). If you listen to that score, I TOTALLY hear Spider-Man. I hope Webb sticks with his roots and goes for Danna.

You know what? It's been so long since I've seen that movie, I can barely remember the music for some reason...it is such a dope movie but I don't know why I barely noticed it. I'd love Reznor to do it but I think he'll be busy.

Oh and hooray for Friday night..can't wait

[Mrpaul]

I think I just might make it

This will be the best night of our lives! :awesome: I wouldn't say that yet, lol. I'm remaining VERY excited but skeptical at the same time of how good what we're going to see will look.

[Crockett]

Sweet, two weeks can't come any faster damnit.

I have a good feeling that they'll show something, and it'll blow our minds! :woot:

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Oh, they'll be showing something, lol. Sony never dissapoints when it comes to footage!

[AbsractPo3tic]

Yes Yes!! Finalllllllyyyyy.....

This will be the best night of our lives! :awesome:

Lol I don't know about that..my girlfriend might disagree with that :woot:

[Pac-Master]

Hopefully the trailer comes out soon so we won't have to rely on just descriptions.

[AbsractPo3tic]

I wouldn't say that yet, lol. I'm remaining VERY excited but skeptical at the same time of how good what we're going to see will look.

Man, I really don't think you have to be skeptical at all at the quality of what they're bringing...they need to WOW that crowd and I have no doubt they will..now will it be everyone's cup of tea? Who knows, we all have different taste, but the quality will be and should be on point. The last thing they want to do is walk out of comic-con being a dud..They aren't Warner Bros lol

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hopefully the trailer comes out soon so we won't have to rely on just descriptions. I feel the same.

[Spider-ManHero12]

The last thing they want to do is walk out of comic-con being a dud..They aren't Warner Bros lol Oh, I meant of how the film looks, lol. I'm sure they'll bring na incredible trailer, and I'm sure it won't dissapoint, but this is reboot and I'm still a bit worried about it. Still, I'm VERY VERY excited!

[itsleroy]

Can you guys believe in over two weeks we'll have footage of the new film?

Unreal. Seriously can't imagine how it'll look like, been thinking about new Spider-Man footage for over 5-6 years now.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Don't you mean 4 years, lol? S-M3 came out 4 years ago.

[AbsractPo3tic]

Oh, I meant of how the film looks, lol. I'm sure they'll bring na incredible trailer, and I'm sure it won't dissapoint, but this is reboot and I'm still a bit worried about it. Still, I'm VERY VERY excited!

I feel you, but I've been hype for this since it was announced so have no skepticism, although I completely understand where yours comes from. I'm more interested in the questions they get asked and what Marc Webb has to say because he has been a church mouse since this thing was announced..Andrew's done interviews, Emma has, even Avi Arad,but the director has been incognito.I'm very anxious to hear what inspired him in his take on the character and what made them shift directions because even in that release for comic con, it says the producers behind the film are taking the franchise in a new direction; that stuff fascinates me

My thoughts exactly. We haven't heard anything from Marc.

BTW, I think the shot of Spidey jumping off a taxi and starting to shoot a web from one of the set vids we saw will be in the trailer. There was a similar shot in SM2's teaser.

[itsleroy]

Don't you mean 4 years, lol? S-M3 came out 4 years ago.


PFFT.

Yeah. I always want new footage though.

[Spider-ManHero12]

We haven't heard anything from Marc. Which is exactly why I'm anxious to hear specifically what he has to say. He's been so quiet about it.

[Troy_Parker]

It's Spider-Man... it's hard not to be excited. :D

Maybe Marc's remaining silent on this because he's taking a page from Nolan's book...?

[Troy_Parker]

Interview with Emma Stone, not much but it's something. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a329017/emma-stone-spider-man-is-daunting.html

[Spider-ManHero12]

Interview with Emma Stone, not much but it's something. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a329017/emma-stone-spider-man-is-daunting.html Cool interview! She seems to understand that Spider-Man is larger than life.

[socool]

That's a good book...

[Spider-ManHero12]

It's Spider-Man... it's hard not to be excited. :D Of course you should be excited. I'm super excited! It's just that it is a reboot so skepticism is necessary, in my eyes.

[Troy_Parker]

Of course you should be excited. I'm super excited! It's just that it is a reboot so skepticism is necessary, in my eyes.

Completely. :up:

But from what I've seen, I don't think they'll disappoint. I think this one will be in a league of its own, not better than Raimi's trilogy, not worse but... unique in its own way. :D

[Spider-ManHero12]

I really want to hear more about the story at this point.

[AbsractPo3tic]

It's Spider-Man... it's hard not to be excited. :D

Maybe Marc's remaining silent on this because he's taking a page from Nolan's book...?

Good book..and this whole process seems to be taking a page out of his book...hopefully it continues and I'll be surprised when I go into the theater next year..that's always when something is the most fun to me. I think it CAN be better than the previous trilogy because so many things have changed since 2002 and the audience has grown and matured and expects more so you have to meet those expectations..will it be? Only time will tell but the writers and director and actors on board are not slouches

[Pac-Master]

I really want to hear more about the story at this point.
LOL, did you notice that on the schedule for Sony's panel, Spidey was the only one that didn't have a synopsis?

[Peter_Parker123]

Emma Stone Talks about The Amazing Spider-Man


"Just because the scale is so large, doing Spider-Man is more daunting than I realized in the beginning," Stone said. "I've tried not to think about it too much - especially while we were shooting - but when you're sitting on these giant blue screens with all these rigs, it's the opposite of an environment like [former film] Superbad. It's odd, but it's very exciting."

Stone is also well aware of Spidey's rebid fanbase and acknowledges their passion and her own desire to ensure they are not let down..

"Spider-Man has this built-in fan base, where people already know the story and are going in with their own opinions and expectations, so you're either going to live up to them or let people down," Stone said. "But it's really all about passion, and I love passionate people."

[socool]

'Dem sons-a-*****es, that's what they are. :cmad:

[Pac-Master]

So, there's gonna be a Dark Knight Rises teaser and poster this week..... I'm excited, but still want Spidey stuff too.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

TDKR this week and Spidey in a couple... with hopefully the first shot of Superman not long after. I'll be as happy as a pig in s***.

[Pac-Master]

Don't forget about the Avengers teaser coming, too!

My god, this month is amazing.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm more excited for the Avengers trailer than TDKR trailer, tbh. the Spider-Man trailer is obviously my most hyped!

[GoblinWhirlwind]

TDKR trailer would probably be my most hyped... but if it doesn't show anything like the TDK teaser I'd be most hyped for the Avengers trailer.

If only Superman was already shooting we'd be getting all four trailers at once :wow:

[Spider-ManHero12]

The idea of having the Avengers come to life is almost too much for my mind to handle. I've been wanting it ever since I started reading comics as a child. Though, not as much as I wanted a Spider-Man film, but right under that, lol.

[Mrpaul]

Hope to hear something about Spidey or Avengers soon

Yessss!

I may have said this before, but since getting tickets for SDCC was such a mess and a pain in the ass - both of my parents were not able to get tickets for themselves Saturday. I was hoping that the Spidey movie panel wouldn't be on Saturday so my parents could be there to see it. So this is wonderful, our whole group will get to see this! :applaud

Try to record the footage incognito. PLEEEAAAASEEE!!!

[Spidey_62]

Try to record the footage incognito. PLEEEAAAASEEE!!!
I wasn't planning on it, but I'll see what I can do. I wanted to snap some pics of the panel, though.

[Pac-Master]

What day are you going to San Diego? I heard Hall H isn't easy to get into, so you might wanna camp out.

[Spidey_62]

What day are you going to San Diego?
We leave early Thursday morning. It's only about a 40 minute flight from where we live. So we get there early in the morning, settle in quick and head over there hopefully.

^ Haha, wonderful. I'm sure it'll be even more crowded than I'm expecting, and I'm already expecting not to be able to barely move.

[Pac-Master]

I wish I could have went. Sounds awesome.

[Spiderman6592]

If we don't get some footage of comic con, I'm going to be ****ing pissed.

[socool]

That's absurd...

No footage? :whatever:

[Pac-Master]

Yeah, there will definitely be footage. I can't remember the last time a movie had a panel at Comic-Con and didn't bring anything.

[Spiderman6592]

Sorry, I forgot the quality in front of footage.

[socool]

Sorry, I forgot the quality in front of footage.

Oh, OK...in that case...

Yeah, I hope so too.

[Spiderman6592]

Some nice HD footage of just the screen would definitely give me a boner.





Sorry, TMI.

[Spidey_62]

As I've heard before somewhere else here pertaining to SDCC, you either go big or go home.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I wasn't planning on it, but I'll see what I can do. I wanted to snap some pics of the panel, though. Please do!!! :woot::spidey:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, there will definitely be footage. I can't remember the last time a movie had a panel at Comic-Con and didn't bring anything. Agreed.

[Spider-Vader]

I'm excited for TDKR, but not it's teaser. The teaser will probably be similar to the TDK teaser & that thing sucked IMO. The ASM trailer will probably blow TDKR's teaser out of the water, since there'll actually be some footage. Though, TDKR's trailer on the other hand....
